1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General Description
The cGas Ammonia Vent Line Detector is designed for continuous monitoring of ammonia
levels in the vent line of refrigeration systems, including the detection of equipment failure in
ammonia plant vent stack applications.
Using a a ¾” cast steel coupler, the cGas Ammonia Vent Line Detector is to be mounted
indoors on the ammonia vent relief stack above the pressure relief valve.
IMPORTANT: The cGas Ammonia Vent Line Detector is NOT designed to monitor ammonia
in applications requiring human health safety levels detection and is not designed to protect
people from toxic gas concentrations. The lowest reading the sensor will detect is above the
recommended exposure limit to ammonia.
NOTE: CET manufactures other ammonia gas detectors that meet human health safety
levels, if that is the required application. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
contact our service department for technical support.
