USER’S GUIDE
Pointwatch Infrared Gas
Response Curves

APPLICATION

Det–Tronics Pointwatch IR Gas Detectors are provided with multiple “standard gas” signal processing program
settings. These settings are provided for detection and measurement of methane, ethane, propane, ethylene,
and propylene gases, and are defined as linearized Pointwatch gas measurement outputs. This means that the
Pointwatch is capable of providing an analog signal output that is directly proportional to the %LFL concentration
for these gases, provided the proper gas setting has been selected, and the Pointwatch has been calibrated
with the proper calibration gas type. In addition to the five standard gases mentioned, the Pointwatch is capable
of detecting and measuring many other hydrocarbon gases and vapors. Although linear Pointwatch outputs are
not offered for most of these gases, an accurate gas concentration measurement is easily determined by using
a cross–reference data sheet defined as a transfer curve*. The transfer curve data sheet is always based upon
the following:
1. The data applies to one (1) specific gas/vapor type only.
2. The data is collected at a specific test temperature**
3. The data compares actual hazardous gas concentration in % LFL to the Pointwatch signal output
level, using all five standard gas settings.

The transfer data is used to select the optimum Pointwatch standard gas selection setting, and to select Low,
Medium, and High alarm thresholds (using the Infiniti transmitter, EQP, ELS, R8471 controllers, or other external
signal receiver) at the correct actuation setpoints. This will ensure external alarm response action occurs when
required. It is important to note that whenever using transfer data, the Pointwatch analog signal output and any
real–time visual display of that output, such as a digital display or bar graph, will be offset by a value shown on
the transfer data curve, and therefore must be externally correlated by the viewer.

Each gas transfer data form will include five (5) different curves (one for each standard linearized output
setting), and are easily identified by referring to the curve legend on the form. The optimum setting/curve is
generally the one that provides the closest signal correlation across the desired gas measurement range,
and also ensures the offset in the Pointwatch signal output versus gas concentration is an over–reading,
as opposed to an unsafe, under–reading.

Ideally, at 50% of full scale Pointwatch output (12 mA signal level) the detected gas level will equal 50% LFL gas
concentration, and this relationship will remain proportional throughout the gas measurement range. In reality
however, transfer curve data is non–linear, and will result in varying offset levels from proportional linearity throughout
the gas measurement range. See example on the following page.

* Specific application details are required before transfer curve data can be provided.
** Significant differences in ambient hazard area temperature as compared to test temperature may
impact transfer curve accuracy.

To use the transfer curve data, find the concentration (in % LFL) for the gas of interest on the horizontal axis of
the graph. Follow the vertical line up from that point until it intersects with a gas response curve. From the point
of intersection, follow the horizontal line directly to the left until it intersects with the vertical axis of the graph.
The point of intersection with the vertical axis represents Pointwatch output (0-100%LFL reading, or 4–20 mA
proportionally) in response to the actual gas concentration at the installation using that particular linearized
output setting.

In the above example for gasoline (tested at 25°C) vapor detection, the typical recommended Pointwatch
standard gas setting and calibration gas to use is propylene. Note that when using this setting and cal gas
type, at 50%LFL gasoline concentration at the jobsite, the Pointwatch signal output will be 50% or 12mA. The
propane and ethane settings would not be recommended as the signal output level is much less than actual
gas concentration in the field. The methane and ethylene settings are acceptable, but will result in much higher
readings than actually is present in the field.

Notes:
This material is fairly non-volatile. This material has a flammability hazard rate of 2 meaning that the material must be moderately heated for ignition to occur. The
flashpoint of this material varies between 43°C and 66°C (probably due to seasonal composition variation). Testing for our sample had to be performed at 70°C in order
to get sufficient vapor concentrations to adequately perform the test.
