1.0 INTRODUCTION
The TQ4400 Tankscan is a multipoint, sequential, aspirated, gas sampling

system. The System is designed to meet with IMO / Solas requirements, and
comply with classification rules for monitoring ‘Void Spaces’ on board Gas
Carriers and Oil & Gas Tankers, in areas adjacent to the cargo areas. E.g.
ballast tanks, pump rooms, cofferdams, pipe tunnels and duct keels.
Refer to Fig 1 on page 5 for a typical system schematic.
The TQ4400 Tankscan extracts a gas sample from a desired location, via
transport lines to an analysing unit where the sample is monitored for
‘Flammable’, ‘Toxic’ or ‘Oxygen’ gases. This is a cost effective method of
gas detection, as only one sensor is required per gas detected.
The number of locations for a TQ4400 is dependant on the number of gases

being detected. Table 1, below shows the maximum number of locations for
a given set of sensors.

Table 2
The TQ4400 is capable of providing individual ‘low’ and ‘high’ alarm

outputs for each sample location and corresponding individual alarm relays.
These relays can be utilised when an application requires locations to be
‘grouped’ into ‘zones’. This can provide an interface with alarm
management systems, remote mimic panels, and audible / visual warning
devices.
With the ability to monitor for the gases indicated above, the system can be
configured to allow a ‘Pump Room Gas Monitoring System’ to be

integrated into the TQ4400, thus eliminating the need for two separate
systems.
The TQ4400 Display Unit can be mounted within the cabinet or in a remote
location, if for instance the analysing unit is installed in an un-manned area.
The operator interface is via four push buttons and a backlit LCD. During
normal operation the LCD display will provide the ‘location’, ‘gas type’ and
sample ‘concentration’ for each individual location.
N.B. A separate SET UP Manual and ‘button box’ for changing ‘sample
line’ No’s., ‘gas range’ and ‘alarm levels’ is available. These are factory set
to the customer’s requirements, but can be altered on commissioning by a
TQ Environmental Engineer.

2.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The TQ4400 Tankscan standard Analysing Unit is housed in a wall-mounted

enclosure complete with front panel Display Unit. The enclosure contains all
electrical, electronic and pneumatic equipment required to monitor, display,
control and provide alarm outputs for the relevant locations. Refer to Fig 2, page
9 for a typical system schematic.
The TQ4400 system is divided into following main components:
♦ Pneumatics
♦ Sensors
♦ Control & Display Unit
♦ Power Supply Change Over Unit
♦ Sample Line Accessories
♦ Outputs
♦ Technical Specification
2.1 Pneumatics:
Please refer to Fig 2, 3, 4 and 5, pages 9, 10, 11 and 12 respectively.
Every Sample Line from the relevant Location is firstly connected to its
respective external ‘Shut-off Valve’ to provide sample line isolation. The
sample then passes through a flame arrestor mounted externally on either side of
the cabinet, and into the Analyser Unit.
The typical Analysing Unit contains the following Pneumatic devices:
♦ Solenoid Valves
♦ Catch pot - water trap
♦ Particulate Filter
♦ Double Ended Pump
♦ Coalescing Filter
♦ Flow Meter
♦ Reverse Purge
♦ Leak Detection
2.1.1 The Solenoid Valves are mounted in blocks of eight onto a common
manifold. The manifolds are fitted in pairs to a gland plate, which allows
direct external connection to the input port of each valve.
Fitted onto each pair of manifolds is a Solenoid Driver Board. This board
receives data from the BTC board to operate the solenoid valves.
Each valve is complete with a 24V dc coil, and connection to each coil is
via 3 pole connector containing an LED and snubbing diode.

2.1.2 The Catch pot is fitted with a poly-carbonate bowl allowing visual
inspection of the water levels. In the event of the bowl becoming full a
float assembly will block the outlet, firstly to prevent water entering the
system and secondly to create a Flow Fail Alarm.
To empty the bowl, firstly stop the pump and open the drain valve at the
bottom of the bowl. When empty Ensure that the drain valve is fully
closed prior to re-energising the pump.
2.1.3 The Particulate Filter is fitted with a micro-fibre filter element, which
cannot be cleaned and therefore must be replaced when discoloured or is
suspected of reducing air flow. This unit is also fitted with a poly-
carbonate bowl to allow visual inspection of the filter element. Spare filter
elements can be supplied, refer to Section 7 for Part numbers.
2.1.4 The Pump is an Industrial Double Ended type with the two pumps
connected in series to ensure adequate flow rates for the larger
installations. As an example on transport tube dimensions of 4.0mm I/D,
flow rates in excess of 4 litres/min. are achievable for sample line lengths
up to 300 metres. Based on these figures, sample times for a 300 metre
sample line will be in the order of 1 minute, providing sharp bends and
fittings are kept to a minimum. A Pump Service Kit can be supplied, refer
to Section 7 for Part numbers.
2.1.5 The Coalescing Filter is of nylon construction and, as with the Particulate
filter, incorporates a clear bowl for visual inspection of the filter and
moisture level. Here again the element must be replaced when
discoloured. The drain outlet is fitted with a needle valve, which is opened
sufficiently to allow a small airflow through the Coalescing Filter all the
time the pump is running. This should drain any moisture that has
collected in the Filter bowl. Spare filter elements can be supplied, refer to
Section 7 for Part numbers.
2.1.6 The Flow Meter is fitted in the sample flow line to indicate airflow to the
sensors and works in conjunction with the Sample by-pass needle valve.
The steel float, sensing ring and control relay, are all part of the flow fail
device. If the float passes down through the sensor a Low Flow signal is
sent to its’ control relay. When flow returns the float will raise back
through the sensor and the signal to its’ control relay will revert to normal.
2.1.7 Reverse Purge: The system allows compressed air to be periodically

blown down each sample line in order to keep the lines free of
debris/moisture etc.
This "Reverse Purge" can be initiated individually on each sample line
as required, globally on each sample line when required, or globally on
each sample line automatically.
The compressed air, between 6 to 10 bar, is brought into the system

through its own input port, and through a manual drain coalescing filter
and pressure regulator.
2.1.8 A Leak Detection System is incorporated within the TQ4400 Analyser

enclosure and monitors for any accumulation of flammable gases within
the enclosure. This system utilises a catalytic flammable gas detector fitted
in the top of the enclosure, which is connected to a TQ126F controller
fitted in the Power Supply Change-over Unit, refer to section 2.4.
If the gas concentration within the enclosure exceeds 30% LEL the Power
Supply Change-over Unit will disconnect the supply to the TQ4400
Analysing Unit. The power supply cannot be re-connected until the gas
concentration has fallen below the alarm level and a manual reset at the
Power Supply Change-over Unit has been carried out.
2.1.9 Sample Line Equipment is available in several forms to suit the sample
location.
• End of Line filters for ‘Dry’ areas,

• Snorkel Valves for wet areas,
• In-line filter (where an End of line filter is not practical)
There are two types of End of Line Filters.
• A fibre element type where the filter element has to be replaced

periodically.
• A stainless steel type where the filter element can be cleaned.
Both of the above filters are supplied with dual compression fittings to suit
pipe sizes 6 or 8mm O/D, in either brass or stainless steel. It is advisable to
protect the Filter when installed in a location where damage may occur.
The Snorkel Valve is of a nylon cylindrical construction with an internal

float that will block the sample line when immersed in water. This device
is supplied with a stainless steel dual ferrule compression fitting to suit
pipe sizes 6 or 8mm O/D.
The In-Line Filter is a stainless steel unit that is suitable for attaching to a
stop-valve when fitted in a stop valve box. It is advisable to remove the In-
Line Filter complete for cleaning, as splitting the filter in situ may damage
the threads. Refer to the Installation section 4.5 for Filter Drawings.

2.2 Sensors
There are two type of sensors, the infrared type, for flammable gases, or the
electro-chemical type for Toxic and Oxygen gases. When a system comprises of
more than one sensor, they are connected in series in the sample line which then
is vented out from the enclosure through a flame arrestor.
2.2.1 Infrared Sensor (GD 129NI)
The operation of the infrared sensor within the TQ4400 Tankscan system
has been developed from the infrared heat source detector utilised in the
thermal imaging cameras measuring infrared radiation. These detectors
have now developed into non-dispersive infrared analysers.
Dispersive analysers use a wide band of infrared to identify a gas, the

none-dispersive type narrows the wavelength specific to a gas. The narrow
infra red band produced is passed through the gas sample and a gas
specific to this wavelength will absorb this infrared depending on the
concentration. The electronics converts this absorption of infrared into an
electrical signal for processing.
The narrowing of the band of infrared light is produced utilising filters

made of specific material such as calcium fluoride, sapphire, etc.
An electrical pulse to give a high performance on very small signal

modulates the light source. This modulated light source together with a
reference sensor, which is not exposed to the gas sample, gives a very
accurate signal for a concentration of the target gas.
The infrared sensor is now packaged as a stand-alone unit within the

TQ4400 provide a 4-20mA signal for their respective gas concentrations.
2.2.2 Electro-chemical Type.
These sensors typically monitor for Oxygen and Toxic Gases and because
of their properties have a life span of approximately 2 years.
These Electrochemical type, as with the Infrared sensor, provide a 4-20mA

signal for their respective gas concentrations.

2.3 Control and Display Electronics.
The TQ4400 Tankscan Analysing Unit is controlled by the micro-processor

based Ballast Tank Controller (BTC) board.
The BTC board accepts hard wired inputs from the gas detectors, flow fail relay
and communicates the system status to the Display Unit via a RS 485 serial link.
System status consists of gas concentrations, system fault and alarm status, and
current sample locations.
The Display Unit analyses the information and transmits back to the controller
BTC board any system operations required, to operate gas concentration alarm
relays, sample-line or reverse purge solenoid valves.

Both the Control PCB and the Display PCB are constantly monitored by
an individual watchdog unit. This alarms if the any or both of the
processors on the relevant Board fail.
2.3.1 The Display Unit
Refer to Fig 7, Page 15

The Display Unit houses the display BTC board and the display/operator
interface controls. The display BTC board accepts details of the system
status from the controller BTC board, analyses the information, displays
the current system status and sends control commands back to the main
BTC unit.

During normal operation the Display Unit will show the current sample
location, gas type, gas concentration and fault alarm status, and generate
alarm outputs by communicating with the BTC board. Refer to section 3.3
for display operation.
The Front Panel Display includes:
• Liquid Crystal Display.

• 4 * Push buttons (Ack, Reset, Hold and Skip function).
• 4 * LED’s (Low Alarm, High Alarm, System Healthy and
Watchdog Alarm)
This Display Unit can be installed in either the front door of the TQ4400
Analysing Unit, or, remotely as a wall mounted or console mounted unit.
The unit is supplied with plug and socket connections for ease of
installation and maintenance.

2.4 Power Supply Change Over Unit
Refer to Fig 8 Page 16.

This Unit is connected to the Ship’s ‘Main’ and ‘Emergency’ Power Supplies, to
provide an automatic changeover for the supply to the Analyser Unit in the
event of a ‘Mains Supply’ failure.
The unit will accept 110 - 240V a.c, 50-60 Hz inputs, and will automatically
change back to ‘Main’ when the main supply is restored.
Incorporated within the Power Supply Change-Over Unit is a TQ126F

controller, which monitors the TQ4400 Analysing Unit’s ‘Leak Detection’ gas
detector. The TQ126F will disconnect the power supply to the Analyser Unit if
the sensor detects a gas concentration of 30% LEL. The power supply to the
Analyser Unit will not be restored until the gas concentration has fallen below
30% LEL and the reset button on the front of the Power Supply Change-Over
Unit has been pressed.
Front Panel indications are provided for:

This section explains in detail the TQ4400 system operation and typical alarm
conditions. Four front panel push buttons are used for operator interface namely:
SKIP, HOLD, ACK, and RESET.
3.1 System Start-up
When power is applied to the system, the display will indicate System Set-up
mode, as below
SYSTEM SETUP
PLEASE WAIT
The system will stay in this mode for approximately 150 seconds.
3.2 Normal Operation
After the ‘start-up’ delay the system will enter the normal operating mode.
CHAN 1
METHANE 00015%LEL
WARNING: On ‘Power Up’ the Infrared Sensor takes up to two minutes to

reach operating temperature, and will initiate a Sensor Fault. This can be cleared
after the warm up period by pressing the RESET button. Ensure the ‘System
Healthy’ LED is illuminated after pressing the RESET button.
The top line of the display shows the channel location and the bottom line of the
display will show the gas sensor name, concentration of the gas, and the units of
the gas being analysed. The system will sequentially sample all of the channel
locations, displaying the appropriate data on the LCD.

3.3 Panel Controls
At any time during the normal operating mode, the user has the option to
GOTO, Hold or Skip a channel. These functions are invoked by pressing down
the relevant push button, and are discussed further below:
3.3.1 GOTO Channel
The user may press down and hold the RESET and HOLD button until the
display reads GOTO, the user must then release the RESET and HOLD
button. You can then select which sample location to ‘GOTO’ by using
ACK to go up and RESET to go down through the sample locations.
Pressing Hold selects the desired channel.
Once the unit is sampling from the desired location you can then either
HOLD, SKIP or Reverse Purge the location.
3.3.2 Hold Channel
The user may press down and hold the HOLD button until the display
reads HOLD CHANNEL, the user must then release the HOLD button.
CHAN 1
HOLD CHANNEL
This will invoke the Hold Channel function. The current Channel location
will be continuously sampled for a maximum period of 20 minutes after
which time the system will revert to sequential sampling. At any time the
user may release the channel and enable the system to revert back to
sequential sampling.
This is achieved by pressing down and holding the HOLD button until the
display reads RELEASE CHANNEL, the user must then release the HOLD
button.
CHAN 1
RELEASE CHANNEL

3.3.3 Skip Channel
The user may press down and hold the SKIP button until the display reads
SKIP MODE, the user must then release the SKIP button.
CHAN 1
SKIP MODE
This will invoke the Skip Channel function. The current channel location
will be skipped when the system is sequentially sampling the channel
locations. When the system returns to the skipped channel, the LCD will
display SKIP MODE for 5 seconds and then proceed to the next sequential
channel. When the LCD displays SKIP MODE the user may revoke the
skip command by pressing down and holding the SKIP button until the
display reads NORMAL MODE, the user must then release the SKIP
button.
CHAN 1
NORMAL MODE
3.3.4 Manual Global Reverse Purge.
The user may press down and hold the ACK and RESET buttons until the
display reads GLOBAL REVERSE PURGE followed by REVERSE
PURGE. This initiates a global reverse purge where air is blown down
every sample line for a set period of time. The purge duration is factory set
and a ‘Button box’ is required to be interfaced to the controller BTC board
to change the value.
After the system has finished purging it will revert back to sampling.
3.3.5 Manual Individual Reverse Purge.
In order to reverse purge an individual sample location you initially have

to GOTO the desired location, refer to section 3.3.1.
Once the system is sampling from the required location you can then purge
the sample line by pressing and holding the ACK and HOLD button until
the display reads REVERSE PURGE. This will purge the line for the set
duration, once completed revert back to sampling.
3.3.6 Automatic Global Reverse Purge.
This is a reverse purge, for all sample points, which automatically initiates
after a set number of complete cycles of sample points. We recommend
this function to be enabled for an analyser unit which draws samples from
points where water can be found, such as ballast tanks. The purge
frequency is factory set and can only be altered using a ‘button box’ being
interfaced with the controller BTC board. The box can be obtained by
contacting TQ.
3.4 Alarm Conditions
3.4.1 Fault Conditions
There are three possible fault conditions: Sensor Fault, Flow Fail and
Comms Failure. The sensor will be in fault if the output of the sensor falls
below a set value. When this occurs the LCD will display SENSOR
FAULT, the System Healthy LED will extinguish and the Fault relay will
be activated.
SENSOR FAULT
The Flow Fail will occur if the pressure through the system drops to a set
value. When this occurs the LCD will display FLOW FAIL, the System
Healthy led will extinguish and the Fault relay will be activated.
FLOW FAIL
To clear the Fault condition press and hold the RESET button until the
display reads RESET ALARM. At the same time, the System Healthy led
will illuminate and the Fault relay will be de-activated.

RESET ALARMS
A Comms Failure will initiate when communications are interrupted for

more than 2 minutes between the Display BTC PCB and the Control BTC
PCB.
COMMS FAILURE
This cannot be reset by the RESET button; the panel has to be opened and
powered down and back up again. However it is preferred to do this from
the power supply changeover unit.
3.4.2 Concentration Alarms
There are two alarms on the system, a low level alarm, ALARM 1, and a
high level alarm, ALARM 2. When the gas concentration exceeds the set
levels, the appropriate alarms will be activated, and operate the appropriate
LED’s and alarm relays. The LCD will display the first channel to be in
alarm, together with the sensor gas type and relevant alarm condition. The
system will continue to sample the channels sequentially.
CHAN 1
METHANE LOW ALARM
CHAN 1 SYSTEM
HEALTHY
METHANE HI ALARM

The user may reset the alarmed channel by pressing the RESET button. At
which point the alarms for that channel will be cleared. If there are any
pending alarms then the LCD will display the next alarmed channel
information. The user must again press the RESET button to clear that
particular alarm. When no more alarms are present, the system will display
the concentration as normal.
The user may press the Ack button to clear the audible buzzer. This will
acknowledge the alarmed channel and display ALARM
ACKNOWLEDGED on the LCD.
CHAN 1
ACKNOWLEDGED ALARM
If there is a pending alarm the LCD will display the pending alarm information.
When all alarmed channels have been acknowledged, the system will display the
gas concentration sequentially, but will also display ALARM
ACKNOWLEDGED on the LCD for 5 seconds. To de-activate the alarm relays
the user must use the RESET function as described above.
RESET ALARMS
Each alarm is then reset on a channel per channel basis, i.e. if a particular
channel is in alarm then another channel comes into alarm, then the first channel
requires one reset and a second reset clears the next set of alarms in the second
channel.

4.0 INSTALLATION
NOTE: TQ Environmental Plc gives the recommendations in this section with

respect to the correct installation of the TQ4400 system. However, it is also
essential that the relevant Classification Society rules and regulations with
regard to each individual installation be complied with.
4.1 TQ4400 Analysing Unit
The TQ4400 Analysing Unit is designed to be fixed to a rigid bulkhead via 4 x

8mm mounting brackets on the rear of the enclosure, refer to Fig 2, page 9.
As this unit contains sensitive electronics and instrumentation it is

recommended that the unit be installed in a relatively stable environment, where
vibration is at a minimum and must not be installed near high voltage
equipment.
4.2 Display Unit
The display unit can be supplied as a wall / console mounted or already installed
within the analysing unit, refer to Fig. 7, page 15.
As with the TQ4400 Analysing Unit this unit contains sensitive electronics it is
recommended that the unit be installed in a relatively stable environment, where
vibration is at a minimum and away from high voltage equipment.
4.3 Power supply Change Over Unit
It is recommended that this unit be mounted adjacent to the Analysing Unit for
ease of connection and to keep cable runs to a minimum. Again the unit is
designed to be fixed to a rigid bulkhead via 4 x 8mm mounting brackets on the
rear of the enclosure, refer to Fig 8, page 16.
Again as this unit contains sophisticated electronics it is recommended that it be

installed in a relatively stable environment and kept away from high voltage
equipment.
4.4 Manual Shut Off Valves
The Shut Off Valves must be installed in each of the sample lines in order to
comply with classification society regulations.
These valves enable sample lines to be isolated, which will be required if a

particular sample line is damaged, in order to prevent flammable gas being
pumped in to a safe area. These valves are required to be installed in the safe
area as close to the accommodation bulkhead as possible, refer to Fig. 9.

TQ Environmental can supply a “weld tube” assembly (length to suit

application) to ease valve mounting. This assembly provides a gas tight
penetration when welded to the bulkhead and enables mounting of valves as
close to the bulkhead as possible.

4.5 Sample Line Equipment
See Section 2.1.9 for selection of suitable equipment.
4.5.1 Snorkel Valves

Snorkel Valves must be attached to the ends of any sample lines that are
periodically submerged in water, e.g. ballast tanks, in order to prevent the
sampling of water when the sample location is flooded.
Snorkel valves must be mounted in the vertical position to operate
correctly. If they are mounted at any other angle there is a risk that the ball
inside the valve will not seal correctly and allow water to enter the system.
The snorkel valve must also be rigidly secured via straps or “U” bolts
around the body of the valve to prevent movement due to surging ballast.
THE VALVE MUST NOT BE SUSPENDED UNSUPPORTED FROM THE

END OF THE SAMPLE LINES.

4.5.2 End of Line filters
When sample lines are installed in void spaces it is recommended that end of
line particulate filters are fitted to prevent dust particles/debris from being
sucked into the system.
The filter assembly supplied by TQ is very light weight approximately 0.05 kg

and can hence be satisfactorily supported by the P clip arrangement shown in
Fig. 11, when attached to a suitable bracket via an M5 screw.
Please note end of line filters are only suitable for use in dry areas and must be
installed in an accessible position for ease of service.

Fig.11 Diagram of a End of Line Filter

4.5.3 In-Line Filters
When sample lines are installed in void spaces and the end of the sample
line is not readily accessible it is recommended that an in-line filter be
used.
This has the same function as the end of line filter i.e. to remove
dust/debris. However, this filter is installed directly in the sample line by
means of two compression fittings, which match the size of the sample
lines used, refer to fig 12.
Again as with end of line filters in-line filters are only suitable for use in
dry areas and must be installed in accessible position for ease of service.

4.6 Sample Lines
Please refer to Fig.13, page 33.
Sample lines from point of connection at the analysing unit to point of sample
should be as straight as possible and U-bends should be kept to a minimum.
However due to the heavy duty vacuum pump and the ‘Reverse Purge’ facility,
which removes moisture/debris from the lines some U-bends can be
accommodated.
The sample lines between the bulkhead shut off valves and the analysing unit
should be free of detachable connections except for the connection points for the
shut off valves at the bulkhead and the analysing unit and should be routed the
shortest way possible. If sample lines between the shut of valve and the
analysing unit have to be joined welded connections should be used.
Sample lines should not be run through gas safe spaces except for the section
from where they penetrate the accommodation bulkhead to the point where they
attach to the analysing unit.
Where sample lines penetrate the accommodation bulkhead i.e. break a

safe/hazardous area division the penetration should be of an approved type and
be of the same integrity as the division penetrated. (See section 4.4).
Vent and drain exhaust lines are to be vented to atmosphere in a safe area away
from ignition sources and the area within 3m of the outlets is to be considered as
a hazardous location.
After all sample, vent and drain lines are installed it is vitally important to test
for leaks and blockages. Applying compressed air at the start of the line and
ensuring that airflow’s from the end of the line identify blockages. Leaks are
identified by blocking one end of the line and applying compressed air with a
pressure of 5-6 bar, hold the pressure in the line and monitor for pressure drops,
there should be no drop over one minute.
Ensure that all Sample Lines are connected to the Analysing Unit on the correct
ports, in order to eliminate the possibility of ‘crossed lines’.
4.7 Cable Segregation

“Intrinsically Safe” cables must be separated by at least 50 mm from all other
cables.
Keep all sensor and communication cables separated from voltage distribution /
switching cables.

DECK AREA (Hazardous Area) (Safe Area)
NOTES
Gas Sampling/Control Unit
1. Sample lines should have continous
fall if possible, From point of entry, to sampling
cabinet, to point of sample. 'U' Bends in pipework
to be kept to a minimum.
2. Position of sample lines in ballast tanks are to be

in accordance with 'SOLAS' regulations 59 4.4.2
which states that " Where the atmosphere in double
hull spaces cannot be readily measured using flexible
gas sampling hoses, such spaces shall be fitted with
permanent gas sampling lines. The configuration of
Gas Tight Penetration such line systems shall be adapted to the design of
such spaces".
3. When running pipe lengths down the deck, Measures

must be taken to compensate for bending/expansion

5.0 COMMISSIONING
It is strongly advised that a TQ Environmental Approved Engineer carries out

the commissioning. The system is fully tested and known to be operational when
it leaves the factory, however the ultimate performance of the system in the field
depends heavily on the final commissioning. If persons not approved by TQ
Environmental carry out the commissioning incorrectly, TQ Environmental can
and will not accept any responsibility for the system’s performance in the field.
As the system is a very important safety feature that contributes to the safe
running of hazardous cargo carrying vessel, TQ Environmental urge that the
above comments are understood.
To aid commissioning it is essential to have a good understanding of how the

system operates, therefore please read all sections of this manual before
commencing.
This section repeatedly references the ‘system drawings’; these drawings are
project specific and no two sets are the same. Please ensure that the correct
drawings are available.
5.1 Installation.
5.1.1 Ensure that all points detailed in section 4 are completed, pay
particular attention to the points dedicated to sample lines.
Only when section 5.1 has been completed can the commissioning
proceed.
5.2 System Power Up.
5.2.1 Check all system wiring is as per the system drawings.
5.2.2 Check that the voltage to the system corresponds to the voltage stated
in the system drawings.
Only when the two above points have been completed, can the
system be ‘Powered up’ for testing.
5.2.3 Check with the ships staff that the ballast tanks are not in ballast. If
some are, take a record of these tanks. This is extremely important, as
the tanks need to be inhibited from the sampling sequence.
5.2.4 Apply power to the system via the power supply change over unit.
Fault alarms may occur after system boot up, this is due to the time
taken by some sensors to ‘warm up’.
5.2.5 After power up, enable ‘skip’ on tanks which are ballast. This is
explained in section 3.3.3.

5.3 Setting the Flow Rate
5.3.1 Activate the pump.
5.3.2 Hold on the sample location, which is the furthest away, (usually the
fore peak), refer to section 3.3.2.
5.3.3 Adjust the sample by pass so that the sample flow reads
approximately 3 litres/minute.
5.3.4 Remove the ‘hold’ function on the location selected, refer to section
3.3.2.
5.3.5 As the system changes sample locations, the flow rate will change.
This is normal as the sample line lengths vary.
5.4 Sample Location Set-Up Test
This section gives details on how to set the individual sample locations
‘dwell time’, this is the time taken to transport a sample gas from a sample
location and analyse it accurately.
Whilst this test is carried out, it is possible to test the sample lines for
blockages or leaks. Appendix A can be used to record the test results.
Equipment needed: 2 * 2 way radio.

A team of 2 or more persons.
Butane lighter (with flint removed).
5.4.1 One person is required to be present at the sample location to be tested

with the gas lighter, and one at the control panel. Both persons are to
be in contact with each other at all times.
5.4.2 Hold sampling on the location to be tested, refer to section 3.3.2
5.4.3 Activate manual individual reverse purge on the line to be tested,

(refer to section 3.3.5), and ensure that air is present at the end of the
sample line; this tests for possible crossed lines.
5.4.4 Apply gas to the sample line and record how long it takes for the
system to display a gas concentration on the LCD. Log this time in the
Dwell Time column.
5.4.5 Block the sample line off, as the flow decreases a flow fail alarm will
activated, if this is not the case a leak in the line may be apparent -
amend and repeat the test. Log the result in the table, column ‘Flow
Fail’.
5.4.6 Enter the Dwell Time for each location into the system, in order to
achieve this you require a ‘button box’ to interface with the controller
BTC board. This can be obtained by contacting TQ, where a box and
instructions can be despatched.
5.5 Testing Gas Concentration Alarms
Follow Task 1 detailed within the Scheduled Maintenance in section 6.
5.6 Testing Analysing Unit Cabinet Gas Detector
Follow Task 6 detailed within the Scheduled Maintenance in section 6.

6.0 SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
6.1 System Confidence Test Sequential Sampling Part
Frequency: 6 Months
Equipment Needed: Calibration Gas suitable for the sequential sensors

i.e. it is recommended that gas of 50% LEL (or similar) is used when a 0-
100% LEL sensor is installed.
Ensure that the concentration of gas used is greater than that of the highest
alarm set point.
Description:
When sample locations are grouped into zones, and different zones activate
different alarms, ensure that all ‘zone alarm configurations’ are known so
that alarms can be checked.
Activate a flow fail alarm, this can be achieved by blocking the current
sample line through the ball stop valve. Once the alarm is activated,
acknowledge the alarm, refer to section 3.4.
Connect the test gas to the calibration point within the analysing unit but do
not turn the gas on. Ensure that the 3-Way valve is set on the ‘calibration’
position and turn the gas on at a rate of 1 litre / minute.
The system will now generate a gas alarm on the current sample location.
Ensure all relevant alarms are activated, for example any external beacons
and alarms on the Vessels alarm management system.
Ensure also that the display reads the same concentration as that of the
calibration gas used, i.e. 50% LEL if 50% LEL calibration gas is used.
It must be noted however that all calibration gases have a tolerance that
must be taken in to account.
Repeat for all locations that activate different alarms.
6.2 Filter Check
Frequency: 6 Months / when required
Equipment Needed: Replacement Filter Elements
Description: Check that all Coalescing; Particulate; End of Line; In-

Line and Snorkel Valves are in good condition and clean/
replace if necessary.

6.3 Sensor Optics Cleanse (GD-10 Only)
Frequency: 6 Months / when required
Equipment Needed: Lint Free Cloth
Description: Remove the sensors weather cap and clean the mirror /
lens with the lint free cloth. This may activate a system
fault alarm if the sensors optical path is blocked, to clear
this alarm refer to section 3.4.
6.4 System Calibration (All Sensors)
Frequency: 12 months
Equipment Needed: Calibration Gas suitable for the sensors being

calibrated i.e.: use 50% LEL gas (or similar) for a
0-100% LEL sensor.
Description: Refer to section 6.1 for applying test gas. Repeat for all
Sensors.
Note, if the calibration for any of the sensors requires
altering, a ‘button box’ and instructions is required from
TQ.
6.5 Pump Service
Equipment Needed: Pump Service Kit
Description: Replace the pump diaphragms and valve springs.

6.6 Inspecting and Cleaning Snorkel Valves
Frequency: Whenever Ballast Tanks are inspected
Equipment Needed: High Pressure Water Supply
Description:
a) Power down the TQ4400 gas detection equipment. Visually inspect end
of line snorkel valves for dirt and silt build up. Hose down and clean the
valve as necessary.
b) Inspect Snorkel Valve for any physical damage, repair or replace as

necessary. Isolate the line as follows. Inhibit a sample line as per Section
3.3.3 and replace as soon as possible with Part No. 302-001. After
Replacement re-instate that line as per Section 3.3.3.
c) Allow to dry and power up the TQ4400 unit.

6.7 Testing and Calibrating the TQ126F
Equipment Needed: Zero and Span Calibration Gas suitable for the
sensor used.
Span: 50% LEL or similar
Zero: Synthetic Air 0% LEL
Description:
Please refer to section 2.1.3 for an introduction to the TQ126F, and the
drawing showing the TQ 126F PCB Layout, Fig 14.
Ensure the correct voltage is across the gas sensor by measuring the voltage
across terminals 1 and 3 of the ‘PEL’ terminal connector, next to VR2,
within the sensor’s junction box. Adjust VR1 so the voltage is 2.00V d.c,
+/- 0.1v.
Apply Zero gas to the sensor using a suitable gassing cap at a rate of 1
litre/minute, adjust VR2 so that the TQ126F display reads 0.00 %.
Apply Span gas to the sensor using the suitable gassing cap at a rate of 1
litre/minute; adjust VRoVM so that the TQ 126F display reads the same
value as the span gas, i.e. 50.00 %.
While applying gas to the sensor and ensure that the power to the Analysing
Unit is cut at 30 % LEL.

UNDERSTAND THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL COMPLETELY
BEFORE OPERATING THE GD129NI COMBUSTIBLE-GAS
SENSOR.

SECTION 1 - DESCRIPTION
1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The GD129NI Infra-Red Combustible-Gas Sensor is a highly reliable infra-red (IR)

absorption type sensor designed to give extended service under extreme conditions.
The sensor is used to detect the presence of combustible gases (methane, ethane,
propane, butane and similar gases). In a typical application, the sensor unit is
electrically connected to a system capable of providing readouts indicating the
percentage of Lower Explosion Limit (LEL) or concentration of the gas detected by
the sensor along with audible and/or visual alarms when the %LEL reaches a
predetermined level.
The GD129NI Sensor is used for diffusion sensing applications. These are
applications in which the sensor continuously monitors that part of the environment
with which it is in contact and the gas diffuses through the sensor’s optical path. This
technical manual covers the use of the GD129NI Sensor as a diffusion type sensor.
1.2 METHOD OF DETECTION.
Detection of combustible gases is accomplished by measuring the absorption of IR

energy by the gas being monitored. This measurement is made over a fixed distance
within a part of the sensor assembly called the Optical Bench. A miniature filament
lamp mounted, at one end of the optical bench, acts as an IR source. The lamp
illuminates an IR detector at the opposite end of the optical bench. The IR detector is
designed to detect IR energy only at the hydrocarbon absorption wavelength. The
introduction of a hydrocarbon gas into the optical path between the IR source and the
IR detector causes the detector output to reduce by an amount that can be calibrated
for the gas present. The filament lamp IR source is switched between two levels at a
1.5-second rate, and is controlled by a precision circuit which provides high-stability
operation and reduces thermal drift. Through several stages, this signal is amplified
to a 4-20mA signal for local or remote indication.
1.3 SENSOR UNIT DESCRIPTION. Refer to Figure 1.
The fully assembled GD129NI Sensor unit has the approximate dimensions of 242mm
(Height) X 106mm (Width) X 92mm (Depth). The main components of the GD129NI
Sensor unit are:
• Junction Box (J-Box) with Amplifier

• Sensor Assembly
• Guard

Figure 1 - Configuration
J-Box With Amplifier.

The junction box is certified for use in specified hazardous areas and provides
resistance to physical shock and gas-free protection to the components mounted
inside. The J-box contains a gasketed screw-on cover and provision for an approved
flameproof gland at the cable entry point (20mm conduit thread).
The amplifier printed circuit board (PCB) installed inside the J-Box, contains an
amplifier circuit for converting the IR detector’s absorption signals into a 4-20mA
output signal.
Sensor Assembly.
The sensor assembly consists of a Flame Arrestor surrounding an Optical Bench
Assembly. The entire Sensor Assembly is surrounded by a protective stainless steel
Guard. Refer to Figure 2.

Flame Arrestor.
The Flame Arrestor is made of 316 Sintered Stainless Steel. The stainless steel
ensures high corrosion-resistance. The arrestor has a sheet of filter material fixed
around the outside to stop the entrance of dust, dirt and moisture.
Optical Bench Assembly.

The Optical Bench Assembly is concentrically enclosed within the Flame Arrestor
and the Guard.
Guard.
The stainless steel or resin moulded guard provides physical protection for the Flame
Arrestor and the Optical Bench Assembly. In sensor calibration operations, a
calibration cup can be installed over the Guard to provide for adequate flow of
calibration gas to the sensor.
Figure 2. - Sensor Assembly Location.
1.4 GASES MONITORED.

The GD129NI Sensor is designed to monitor hydrocarbon gases and vapours from C1
- C10 typically C1 - C8. Please consult TQ Environmental PLC about other gases,
which may be monitored. The following are typical gases and vapours detected by
the sensor:
Methane
Propane
Butane
Hexane
Acetone
Pentane
Ethane
Toluene
The GD129NI Sensor does not detect certain other combustible gases, such as
Hydrogen and Hydrogen Sulphide.

SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION
2.1 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION.

2.1.1 GENERAL.
The GD129NI Sensor is designed to be installed with the approved explosion-proof
junction box and Flame Arrestor Assembly with the Guard pointing downward. A
typical installation for the GD129NI Sensor is shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Sensor Unit Installation and Orientation.
2.1.2 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES.

To ensure continued reliable operation of the GD129NI Sensor, the following
installation guidelines should be observed:
CAUTION
The calibration of the sensor may be affected by exposure to direct sunlight. If it is
necessary to install the sensor unit in a sunlit area, provide an adequate sunshade for
the sensor unit.
• For the monitoring of heavier-than-air gases, mount the sensor unit as close as
practical to the floor or ground. For monitoring of lighter than air gases, install
the sensor unit as high as practical.
• The sensor unit should be installed in a location where it is easily accessible for
repairs.
• Mount the sensor unit in a position that minimises the risk of mechanical damage.
• Prevent water and dust accumulation from affecting operation by mounting the
sensor unit with the guard pointing downward, as shown in Figure 3.
• It is important to ensure the conduit-entry point at the top of the J-Box is
watertight. Use an approved EExd watertight packing gland. Apply commercial-
grade pipe thread sealant, such as Liquid Teflon, to the gland threads and install
the appropriate sealing washers.
• When the GD129NI is used in conjunction with a calibration cup for checking
operation the junction box must be mounted at least 10mm away from a vertical
surface.
• The fixing holes on the junction box accept 5mm diameter bolts.

2.2 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION.

The amplifier circuit in the PCB supplies a 4-20mA output signal, which is a current
source only. An external common ground return must be provided, as shown in
Figure 4. Total circuit load and cable resistance should be less than 600 Ohms for the
4-20mA loop. The +24Vdc and common ground leads must be of sufficiently low
resistance to ensure the correct operating voltage at the PCB (refer to Table 1. for the
operating voltage range).
It is important that for installation in hazardous areas, approved and certified screened
cable and cable glands are used with the instrument, and that termination is carried
out in the approved manner.
The cable screen must NOT be connected at the detector end, as it is to be connected
to ground at the control panel.
After wiring the lid of the junction box shall be screwed back onto the base.
SECTION 3 - COMMISSIONING & CALIBRATION

3.1 COMMISSIONING.
Prior to connecting power to the GD129NI Sensor, the following preliminary checks
should be made.
a. Ensure the Sensor Assembly is screwed tightly into its junction box/enclosure.
b. Check that the Sensor Assembly is correctly wired to its PCB.
CAUTION
TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT, ENSURE THE VOLTAGE
APPLIED TO THE PCB DOES NOT EXCEED 30 VOLTS.
c. Ensure the voltage applied to the PCB is between 12 and 28Vdc.

d. Inspect the unit for signs of damage or corrosion to the sensor assembly or its
junction box/enclosure.
After power has been applied, let the sensor unit function for 60 minutes prior to
further monitoring.
Please note that the current output from the GD129NI will be 0.5mA for
approximately 45 seconds after power has been applied.
3.2 CALIBRATION.
It is likely that the GD129NI Sensor will remain stable at its initial calibration
settings for long periods (2 - 3 years) and on-site calibration is NOT required.
3.3 OUTPUT CURRENT CALCULATION.

The GD129NI Sensor is designed to provide specific values of amplifier output
current over the normal operating range for various concentrations of Methane and
other gases. Figure 5. is a graph showing the amplifier output current values for
various concentration levels of six different gases. The X axis (horizontal) of Figure
5 represents gas concentration levels from 0% to 100% LEL. The Y axis (vertical) of
Figure 5. Represents the amplifier output current from 4mA to 20mA. The following
examples explain how to calculate output current values using the graph.

Figure 5. Calculation Of The Output Current.
EXAMPLE 1. Assuming the calibration gas is Methane, and the unit is linearised for
Methane and the gas concentration is 50% LEL; draw a vertical line from the 50%
LEL mark on the X-axis to the point where it intersects the METHANE curve. Read
across to the Y-axis; the amplifier output current should be 12.00mA.
EXAMPLE 2. Assuming the calibration gas is Hexane and the gas concentration is
10% LEL; draw a vertical line from the 10% LEL point on the X-axis to the point
where it intersects the HEXANE curve. Read across to the Y-axis; the amplifier
output current is between 8.00mA and 9.00mA. Interpolate between the two values;
the output current should be approximately 8.80mA.
For Methane (standard) or a gas for which the sensor is calibrated and linearised, use
the following formula to calculate the output current from the sensor in mA when the
accuracy of the applied test gas is known.
Gas Concentration in % LEL X 16 + 4 = Output Current in mA

100
Example: 50% LEL CH4 = 50 X 16 + 4 = 12.0mA

100

3.4 OUTPUT CURRENT FAULT CONDITIONS.
The GD129NI provides differing current output levels between 0mA and 4mA to
indicate various sensor fault conditions.
Indicated Current Description

Output
0.5mA Warm up after application of power to the unit until the
GD129NI has completed its self-testing.
0.5mA The optical bench (sensor head) output is too high.
1.0mA The optical bench (sensor head) output is to low.
2.0mA General optical bench fault or failure.
NOTE:
In the event of more than one fault occurring, the output currents for the
respective faults will be added together.

SECTION 4 - MAINTENANCE
4.1 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.

The design of the sensor unit is such that no adjustment or calibration should be
necessary for extended periods of 12 - 18 months or longer. However, it is
recommended that a system calibration check is performed more frequently at 3 to 6
monthly intervals depending on the application and local ambient conditions.
The sensor unit may require corrective maintenance if any of the following occur:
• Output current is at a maximum level, even if no combustible gas is present.
• Sensor response time is slower than noted in Table 1.
In each case refer the unit to TQ Environmental PLC for service.
CAUTION
THE OPTICAL BENCH AND THE SENSOR AMPLIFIER CIRCUITS ARE
MATCHED TO EACH OTHER AT THE FACTORY AND EITHER ONE
SHOULD NOT BE REPLACED AS A SINGLE UNIT. FOR THIS REASON
REPLACEMENT OF THE OPTICAL BENCH OR MAIN BOARD SHOULD
NOT BE ATTEMPTED IN THE FIELD. REFER THE UNIT TO TQ
ENVIRONMENTAL PLC FOR SERVICE.
If the unit ever becomes defective such that it is necessary to refer the unit to a service
facility, an exchange unit can be provided while the defective unit is being serviced at
the facility. Contact the local TQ representative or contact TQ directly. See the front
cover of this manual for details on how to contact TQ.
Please note there are no User Serviceable parts on the GD129NI.
4.2 WARRANTY
When the GD129NI Infra-Red Combustible-Gas Sensor is operated in accordance

with conditions described in this Manual the Standard Warranty is Three (3) Years
from the date of purchase of the instrument from of TQ Environmental PLC
