1. PRESENTATION
STANDGAS PRO LCD is a programmable standalone detector, designed for the detection of explosive gases using catalytic
technology (pellistor), with a detection range of 0 to 100% LEL and resistant to silicone vapours.

A version with RS485 communication compatible with DURGAS control panels is also available. These are especially
indicated for use in laboratories and compartmentalized areas that, apart from local operation, need to be controlled and
carry out maneuvers, and report remotely on their status.
Up to 8 units can be connected per module line, maintaining their compatibility with all other gases.
RS485 version compatible with V04 and onwards software version of DURGAS.

STANDGAS PRO LCD is available for the detection of the following gases:

I-manSTANDGASPROLCD_Exp-v05 5
 It is equipped with a display of 16 x 2 lines of backlit characters, plus three keys that allow programming and use.

2. PREVIOUS CONSIDERATIONS

Do not use lighters to verify functioning, as this might destroy the sensor. To that end use a gas bottle with an adequate
concentration.

Do not drill a hole in the detector housing. This will invalidate its IP protection grade and its warranty.

Do not handle the detector with tension.

Do not use the detector in environments where there is a presence of Hydrogen Sulfide, Fluoride, Methyl Chloride or
Trichloroethylene. The presence of any of these can inhibit sensor response or destroy it.

Do not install the detector near heat sources, ovens, radiators, kitchens, etc.

Install the detector with the gas sensor opening pointing towards the ground and at the required height.

Detector functioning might be interfered by certain cleaning products, do not handle and use near them.

The detector will automatically connect when it receives tension, showing the following warm-up sequence.

3. DISPLAY INFORMATION, DETECTOR CONNECTED

- Shows up when there is communication from

*
another detector in the line.

-> - Shows up when the detector is communica-

ting with the module line.
a - The detector was initialized connected to a
module line but communication has been lost.
A - The detector was initialized without con-
nection to a module line and is working in fully
standalone mode.

5. PROGRAMMING OF DETECTOR
Factory default parameters are:

Gas: Methane - Prealarm level: 20% - Alarm level: 40% - Relay status at rest: ON, (activated) - Rearm type: Manual -
Acoustics: Yes.

If you need to modify any parameters press the key for three seconds. The following menus will appear each time you
press in the following sequence.

1 Select gas type from amongst those available

2 Program the desired prealarm level, from 5% to 80% of L.E.L in steps of 1%
3 Program the desired alarm level, from 5% to 80% of L.E.L in steps of 1%
4 Program the status of the relay at rest, (without detection level) ON or OFF
Select the rearm type for prealarm and alarm, manual or automatic, with a
5
programmable time delay of 0-1-5-10 or 15 minutes
6 Select if you wish to have an acoustic signal with each different status, YES or NO
This option allows it to ignore the sensor status, the relay output staying as
7 programmed. Especially useful for cases of sensor malfunction, preventing the cutting
of gas flows or other inopportune actions.

Once inside programming mode the sequence to reprogram is to enter the desired menu, to select or modify
a value and to memorize.

 6. OPERATION

When it reaches Prealarm level, the display will show a message informing of this condition along with an acoustic signal
(if it is activated) and a blinking display.

By pressing the key the acoustic signal will cease. If is not pressed, the message and the acoustic signal will
disappear when the gas level detected fall below the programmed level.

When Alarm level is reached the display will show an Alarm Level message along with and acoustic signal (if it is activated)
and a blinking display. After 3 s, if the Alarm condition remains, the relay output will activate, alternating the Alarm Level
message with the Active Relay one. By pressing the key the acoustic signal will cease. If is not pressed, the
message and the acoustic signal will disappear when the gas level detected fall below the programmed level.

The Active Relay message will stop once the alarm level disappears, be it because the programmed time has passed or
because the key has been pressed, if the rearm is in manual.

The relay will not go into its rest condition if when you press the alarm level is not below the programmed level.

When the detected level goes above 100% L.E.L. the following message will appear on the display.

The message in the lower line, Output Activated, alternates

with

7. SYSTEM TEST

Press for 3 seconds; first the acoustic signal will activate and following this relay output will activate for 5 seconds
returning then to initial state.

3º

8. INHIBIT SENSOR SIGNAL

This option makes it possible to ignore the sensor signal, leaving the output at rest as programmed.

It is especially useful in the case of sensor malfunction, preventing cutting the gas flow or other inopportune actions.

Press for 3 sec. to exit this mode.

ATTENTION. Use this option only if it is confirmed that there is no gas presence in the Environment.
In this case urgently call the system installer or maintainer for its repair.

9. SYSTEM RESET AND RETURN TO FACTORY CONFIGURATION

To return to factory configuration, with the detector unpowered, press keeping the key pressed and power the
detector.

10. RECALIBRATION
All detectors manufactured by DURAN ELECTRONICA have been calibrated in factory with pattern gas, therefore it is not
necessary or recommended a recalibration of the system.

10.1 Zeroing verification

The detector must be functioning for a minimum of 1 hour in an environment which in all certainty there is no presence
of the gases to be detected by the detector.

If this condition cannot be complied with, the detector must be subjected to a pure nitrogen concentration with a flow of
0.5L/minute using the optional adaptor Ref. CECALIBR for at least 2 minutes, then proceed as follows:

1. Connect a measuring instrument, in the mV scale, between terminals S+ and S-, you must have a voltage of 000V DC,
if necessary adjust using the ZERO potentiometer until said reading is obtained.

10.2 Calibration with gas

1. Reprogram the detector for Methane detection.

2. Insert the adapter Ref. CECALIBR in the detector and release a precise mixture of methane at 2.5% v/v, equivalent to
50% L.E.L., with a flow of 0.5L/minute and adjust GAIN potentiometer, until the measuring instrument indicates 1.0V, DC
between the TP+ and TP- terminals, the display will show 50% L.E.L.

3. When finished remember to reprogram the detector for the required gas.
