INSTALLATION

4.1 GENERAL
Searchline Excel is designed to allow installation to be performed by a single operator.
The installation procedure is split into mechanical installation and electrical installation. The transmitter and receiver assembly need to be fully assembled and mounted to the duct structure before making the electrical connections.

4.2 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Verify that the equipment to be installed is correct for the type of installation required (i.e., short or long range).

4.2.1 Transmitter and Receiver

1. Stick the supplied self-adhesive mounting plate cut-out template onto the duct wall in the position chosen for the Transmitter and Receiver unit.
   Note: The intersection of the bold lines on the template (point X) corresponds with the center of the unit’s infrared beam.
2. At this stage, it is advisable to mark the corresponding position for the Reflector Panel on the opposite side of the duct. Stick the Reflector Panel cut-out template to the outside of the duct wall opposite the Transmitter and Receiver.
   Ensure that point X* on the Reflector Panel template is directly opposite point X on the mounting plate template.
3. Drill 10 mounting holes (diameter 7mm) in the positions marked G on the Transmitter and Receiver unit template.
4. Cut a rectangular aperture in the duct wall.
   Follow outline H.
5. Check that the path from the aperture to the opposite wall of the duct is clear and unobstructed.
6. Measure the distance (in meters) across the duct.
   Record this distance as it is required later during commissioning.
7. Insert the two mounting plate support bars through the aperture and attach them to the inside of the duct, using an M6 nut and washer screwed onto the stud in each support bar. Check that the threaded holes in the support bars line up with the holes drilled in the duct.

(8) Attach the mounting plate, Transmitter and Receiver unit, and junction box assembly.
Use M6 x 20 cap head screws and washers for the mounting plate.
(9) Run the Transmitter and Receiver conduits into the junction box cable entries.

4.2.2 Heated Reflector Panel

1. If not already in place, stick the Reflector Panel cut-out template to the outside of the duct wall opposite the Transmitter and Receiver.
   Ensure that point X* is directly opposite point X on the mounting plate template. This ensures that the beam from the Transmitter hits the center of the reflector.
2. Drill six mounting holes (7mm diameter) in the positions marked J on the template.
3. Following outline K, cut a square aperture in the duct wall.

Insert the two Reflector Panel support bars through the aperture and attach them to the inside of the duct, using an M6 nut and washer screwed onto the stud in each support bar.
Check that the threaded holes in the support bars line up with the holes drilled in the duct.

1. Fit four M6 x 20 cap head screws into the holes in the support strips leaving approximately 5mm of thread exposed on the outside of the duct.
2. Slot the Reflector Panel over the heads of the screws and allow its weight to be supported on the exposed sections of thread.
3. Tighten the four screws to clamp the retro-reflector assembly in position.

4.3 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
4.3.1 Electrical Connections
All ranges of Searchline Excel comply with the EMC requirements EN50270. In order to maintain compliance with these standards, it is essential that the electrical installation of Excel is engineered correctly. Electrical installation standards vary for different countries, companies, and applications and it is the responsibility of the installation design authority to determine the applicable standards and ensure compliance with them. When designing electrical installations for Excel, Honeywell Analytics recommends that the installation design authority considers the following:

1. Where possible, the unit cases should not be electrically connected to electrically noisy (dirty) metalwork or conductors. An electrical isolation kit is supplied to provide the required electrical isolation between the unit’s mountings and its mounting plate. The case is internally connected to the green/yellow GND wire which should preferably be connected to a low noise (clean) earth line. See also 5 of this section.
2. The entire length of the field cabling connected to each unit should be fully shielded with the shield connected to a low noise (clean) earth line.
3. The low noise (clean) earth line should only be connected to safety earth (usually dirty) at a single point. This connection should be made in such a manner that it does not introduce noise onto the low-noise earth. Star earthing arrangements minimize the earth’s current crosstalk.
4. The shields of the field cabling should not be connected such that earth loops are produced, or in a manner that will result in the shields carrying large currents from heavy plants or equipment.
5. Ideally, the field cable shield should be connected to the unit’s green/yellow GND wire, providing a single, continuous earth shield. This connection must not be allowed to complete an earth loop.
6. The earth bonding arrangement must ensure that the maximum peak voltage between the unit case earth and any field cable conductor is less than 350V. Voltages in excess of this can cause permanent damage to the unit’s RFI protection filters.
7. The use of a single, screened cable for each gas detector ensures maximum screening and minimum crosstalk. Cabling arrangements that use a single cable for connecting a number of field devices compromise screening, increase the potential for crosstalk and prevent the implementation of true star earthing.
8. Any electrical interference induced onto the 4-20mA loop conductors by the installation must be kept below the levels necessary to comply with the general requirements of EN60079-29-2. In practice, this means that peak noise currents induced on the current loop should be no greater than ± 0.25mA.
9. The 0V rail of the control card/control system is often directly connected to one side of the 4-20mA current sensing resistor. Electrical noise on such a rail is, therefore, directly connected to the 4-20mA input. In order to avoid additional noise being induced on the 0V rail, it should not be commoned with the safety earth/ ground, which frequently carries a high level of electrical noise.
10. All electrical equipment connected to the system should comply with EN50270.
11. The 24V supply should be free from large transients and fluctuations.
12. The field cabling conductors should have a sufficient cross-sectional area to ensure that the minimum supply voltage applied to the system is 18V at a current of 725mA. This corresponds to a maximum round loop impedance of 8.25 ohms for a nominal 24V system supply.
13. Receivers should not be installed in close proximity to the antennae of high-powered radios, radar and satellite communication equipment.

4.3.2 Electrical Installation

1. Isolate all associated power supplies and ensure that they remain OFF during this procedure.
2. Fit approved cable glands to the junction box cable entries to be used for field wiring, using sealing washers where necessary to maintain ingress protection rating.
3. Fit approved blanking plugs to all unused cable entries.
4. Make appropriate electrical connections as shown in the following diagrams.
5. The mounting plate must be bonded to protective earth, either through contact with the duct wall (if it is itself suitably earthed) or by direct connection.
   Note: Suitable crimps or ferrules must be fitted when connecting more than one wire to a single terminal.
