1. Product introduction
GTYQ-CX1200 series fixed gas detectors include
GTYQ-CX1200 and GTYQ-CX2200 (hereinafter
called CX1200 and CX2200), which are economical
detectors for checking gas leakage. CX1200 is with
LED indicators only, while CX2200 is with LED screen
and relay output.

The detectors are mainly used in industries such as

chemical plants, electricity, gas, and catering where
there may be flammable gas leaks. When the gas
concentration in the environment exceeds the set
alarm value, the detector will sound an alarm through
the indicator light, and can output a signal to drive the
valve equipment, protecting the personal and property
safety of users.

This detectors have the characteristics of small and

compact structure, explosion-proof, stable and
reliable, easy operation and maintenance, and flexible
wiring.

4. Installation
4.1 Installation and working environment requirements
⚫ The environment where the detector is installed
must meet the atmospheric pressure: 86kPa～
106kPa, altitude below 2000m;
⚫ When the detector is located on the upwind side
of the minimum frequency wind direction of the
release source, the distance between the
combustible gas detector and the release source
should not be more than 15m, and the distance
between the toxic gas detector and the release
source should not be more than 2m;
⚫ When the detector is on the leeward side of the
minimum frequency wind direction of the release
 source, the distance between the combustible
gas detector and the release source should not
be more than 5m, and the distance between the
toxic gas detector and the release source should
not be more than 1m;
⚫ If the combustible gas release source is in a
closed or poor ventilated semi-open factory
building, the detectors should be installed every
15m. And the distance between the detector and
any release source within its coverage area
should not be more than 7.5m. The toxic gas
detector should not be more than 1m away from
the release source;
⚫ For combustible gas or toxic gas lighter than air,
if the gas release source is in a closed or poor
ventilated semi-open workshop, besides install a
detector above the release source, a combustible
gas detector or toxic gas detector should also be
installed at the highest point in the workshop
where gas is likely to accumulate.
⚫ The installation height of the detector for
detecting combustible gas whose relative gravity
is heavier than air should be 0.3m～0.6m from
 the ground (or floor). Detectors for detecting toxic
gases whose relative gravity is heavier than air
should be close to the leak point, and their
installation height should be 0.3m～0.6m from the
ground (or floor);
⚫ The installation height of the detector for
detecting combustible gas or toxic gas whose
relative gravity is lighter than air should be
0.5m～2m higher than the release source;
⚫ The detector should be installed in a place where
there is no impact, no vibration, no strong
electromagnetic field interference, and easy to
repair. There should be no less than 0.5m of
clearance and access channels between the
place where the detector is installed and the
surrounding pipelines or equipment;
⚫ For the underground integrated pipe gallery,
when the detected gas density is less than the air
density, the detector should be installed at a
position no more than 0.3m away from the top of
the pipe gallery. When the density is greater than
or equal to the air density, the detector should be
installed at a location 0.2m～0.3m from the pipe
 gallery floor; the oxygen detector should be
installed at a location of 1.6m～1.8m away from
the pipe gallery floor.
4.2 Installation Method
Note: When installing the gas detector, make sure
that its sensor is downward. And it should be
equipped with a filler type cable entry device that has
obtained the explosion-proof certificate and the
explosion-proof mark is Ex d IIC Gb/Ex Td A21 IP66.
Method 1（Wall-mounting): Determine the hole
location according to the installation plate, and then
use two M6×70 expansion bolts to fix it firmly against
the installation hole of the detector.

Method 2 (Holding pipe fixing method): When there

is a pipeline on site, the U-shaped card matched with
the detector is used to fix the detector on the pipeline.
5. Internal wiring method
Caution: Be sure to perform wiring operations in
the event of a power outage. According to the on-
site conditions, users can first fix the detector and
then wire it, or wire it and then fix the detector.
5.1 Wiring steps
⚫ Rotate the upper cover of the detector
counterclockwise, and then you can see the
circuit board tray in the housing.
⚫ Turn counterclockwise to unscrew the plastic
plug, then screw on the explosion-proof gland
clockwise, and then put the four-core cable
through the explosion-proof gland and sealing
plug in turn, and pass it into the shell from the
wiring hole.
⚫ Connect the wires to the male plugs according to
 the marks by following label instruction. And then
fasten the cable shielding layer to the outside of
the housing through a nut to ensure the reliable
grounding of the housing.
⚫ Tighten the rubber sealing ring and hold the cable
tightly. When using Ex hoses, it can also be
directly connected to the detector.
⚫ After ensuring that the first 4 steps are correct,
make sure that the O-ring is put on and tightly
integrated with the upper cover, and turn the
upper cover clockwise until it is tightened.
Remark: Connecting the control panel and the
detector by using the 4-core shielded cable with outer
diameter of 6-9mm (the maximum distance between
the detector and the controller is 1000m).
Note: According to explosion-proof requirements, do
not remove the explosion-proof gaskets from the
unused wiring holes, and don’t throw away the
components on the detector housing and internal
circuit board.
5.2 Terminal block explanation
The terminal block is tilted up 30 degrees for easy
wiring. The terminal block consists of two parts: the
power supply bit (DC24V) and the signal bit, which
cannot be connected incorrectly to each other. The
power supply bit can be positive or negative, usually
left negative and right positive. Signal bits “D+” and
“D-” cannot be connected incorrectly. “L-Alarm”
(optional) is a passive relay output.

6.3 Operation instruction
6.3.1 Power on:
Press “Power/Confirm” button to power on the
controller. The controller enters standby interface as
shown in below drawing:
6.3.2 Power off:
⚫ In standby interface, press “Power/Confirm”
button to power off the controller manually.
⚫ Automatically power off when battery voltage is
not enough.
⚫ Automatically power off if no operation within 120
 seconds.
Caution: It is forbidden to replace the battery of
the remote controller and open the cover of the
instrument in a dangerous area! If it is not used
for a long time, the battery in the remote
controller should be taken out.
6.3.3 Language setting
In standby interface, press both “Power/Confirm”
button and figure “9” to switch the language between
Chinese and English.
6.3.4 Shortcut operation
In standby interface, user can quick access to zero
calibration, span calibration, and address settings.
Three shortcut keys are distributed on the 3, 4, and 5
numeric keys. If the setting is successful, the green
indicator light of the detector will flash three times. If
the setting fails, the yellow indicator light of the
detector will flash three times.
Zero calibration
After the detector have been used for a long time, or
the detector was put in a new type environment, it
may not display “0” in clean air. This phenomenon is
called “zero drift”. Zero drift is normally caused by big
change of temperature or humidity, and this
phenomenon can be corrected by zero calibration.
Zero calibration procedure is as below:
⚫ Put the detector in the clear air.
⚫ Press the numeric key 3, and the controller will
display the zero calibration interface.

⚫ Press to send the setting information to the

detector and then press to exit to the

standby interface.
Span calibration
Span calibration is the use of a certain concentration
of standard gas to calibrate the indication of a
detector, in order to ensure the detection accuracy
and reliability of the detector. Compared to zero
calibration, it can better correct the sensitivity
deviation caused by long-term use of the detector.
⚫ In standby mode, press the numeric key 4, and
the controller will display the span calibration
interface.

⚫ After setting the parameters, press to send

 the set parameters, and then press to exit
to the standby interface (the span calibration
operation needs to be performed after the zero
calibration is successful).
Addressable code setting (of Power RS485 gas
detectors)
⚫ In standby mode, press the numeric key 5, and
the controller will display the address setting
interface.
⚫ After setting the addressable code (1 to 255),

press to send the set parameters, and then

press to exit to the standby interface.

7. Precautions for operation and maintenance
Caution: Operation and maintenance should be
carried out by trained persons.
⚫ In order to avoid personal injury, the detector
must be wired when the power is off.
⚫ The personnel on duty should regularly clean the
dust on the surface of the detector housing with a
dry cloth or vacuum cleaner. Liquid cleaning or
 wet cloth is not adoptable.
⚫ In order to better ensure the detection accuracy
and reliability of the detector, it is recommended
to perform a zero calibration before the first use,
and then calibrate the sensor at least once every
6 months.
⚫ Avoid electric shocks or severe and continuous
mechanical shocks to the detector.
⚫ Do not use paint to wipe sensor components or
detectors.
⚫ There must be no fast-flowing gas directly blown
through the detector, otherwise it will affect the
test results.
⚫ Avoid frequent contact of the detector with high-
concentration gas samples whose concentration
exceeds the detection range, otherwise the life of
the sensor will be shortened.
⚫ Water or dust must be strictly prohibited from
entering the detector cavity through pipes or
wires to avoid damage to the detector.
⚫ If you need to repair or replace parts of the
detector, please contact your dealer or
manufacturer.
⚫ Before replacing sensor modules, the detector
must be power off and the sensor module be
unplugged from the detector main PCB.
