    Introduction Product overview The GDU-Incus is an ultrasonic gas leak detector used for detecting airborne ultrasound generated from pressurized gas leaks. Airborne ultrasound is generated when gas moves from a high pressure area to a low pressure area with a ratio in excess of 1.8 to 1 upstream to downstream.

    Ensure that all wiring and power supply to the detector is within specified operating parameters. Except for the terminal cover, the GDU-Incus is a sealed unit. The main enclosure may be opened only by Emerson or Emerson-authorized personnel. All warranties and certifications are nullified if the seals are tampered with or broken.

If any components are missing or damaged, contact your local Emerson representative or the factory immediately. Dimensions Refer to Figure 2-1 for the dimensions of the GDU-Incus.

  • Page 11: Installation Procedure

    December 2020 Installation procedure Emerson recommends mounting the GDU-Incus between 10 and 16 ft. (3 and 5 m) above the floor level to eliminate ground reflections and absorption. You may mount the detector lower than 10 ft. (3 m), but that may reduce the coverage; contact an Emerson representative for more details.

To gain access to the terminal compartment, undo the six terminal cover fixing screws and raise the terminal cover vertically until clear of the main enclosure. The terminal cover is held in place with a stainless steel wire. You can lower the terminal cover to the side of the detector during installation, but take care to ensure the flame path is not damaged.

    Choose customer cable in accordance with hazardous area certification and applicable local regulations. The GDU-Incus has a temperature rating of 185 °F (85 °C). When used in areas with an ambient temperature above 140 °F (60 °C), ensure cable has a rating that is equal to or exceeds the proposed maximum working temperature.

    (if no sensors are in fault, the current loop will already be outputting dB level). To avoid false alarms, Emerson recommends setting the alarm level above the background level established by mapping when all processes are operational. If you don't know the background level, Emerson recommends using the detector to analyze the background.
  • Page 30 Most installations set the alarm levels in the control system. However, please note that the best practice is to have the control panel and the GDU-Incus's internal alarm level to always mirror each other. The reason for this is when the detector is in a sensor fault...
  • Page 31 3.1.2 Delay time To avoid spurious alarms, Emerson recommends using a delay time for non-toxic gas applications or when instantaneous detection is not required. The delay timer is activated from the point at which the alarm threshold is first exceeded.

  • Page 33 It is important to identify all spurious noise spikes of significant duration within the detector coverage. Emerson recommends setting the alarm delay to a value greater than the maximum spurious noise spike operating duration. If two or more spurious noise...

  • Page 34: Check Sensor Functionality

    Check sensor functionality Emerson calibrates the sensors on the GDU-Incus at the factory; they do not need to be adjusted. Before operation, Emerson recommends functionality checks to ensure correct installation. On power-up, the detector performs a diagnostic check to ensure all main functions are operational and continuously monitors the sensors via the built-in self-test.

    Display The GDU-Incus incorporates a five-digit segment, 0.31-in. high x 0.16-in. wide (8 mm high x 4 mm wide) character light-emitting diode (LED) display with red numerals as standard. During operation, the real-time dB level is continuously shown while below the programmed alarm level and flashing when above the programmed alarm level.
