PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
General
The GS01 is a wireless, battery powered point detector that monitors the
concentration of hydrocarbon gases.
It uses a combination of two sensors:
1. An ultrasonic speed-of-sound sensor that continuously monitors changes in
the ambient air composition.
2. An optical (infrared) absorption sensor that is used for accurate
measurements of the hydrocarbon gas concentration.
The infrared sensor uses more power than the ultrasonic and is therefore kept in
hibernation if the ultrasonic sensor does not detect any changes in the air
composition. The infrared sensor applies optical MEMS (micro electromechanical
system) technology to enable intermittent operation with fast start-up and
measurement, and thus a low average battery consumption.
The measured gas concentration is transmitted wireless using the ISA100
Wireless™ standard. This manual does not cover the wireless router or gateway
and the connected control system (please refer to the list of references in Section
9 providing examples of relevant documentation).
The detector is intrinsically safe, with equipment protection level Gb (Ex ib) (see
Section 7) intended for use in zone 1 and 2 areas.
1.2
Measuring principle
The GS01 detector utilises infrared absorption spectroscopy. The fundament is
the Beer-Lambert Law, which relates the absorption of light to the properties of the
material through which the light is travelling.
The internal radiation source emits infrared radiation through a lens and a
sapphire window into the measuring cell (cf. Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-3). A mirror
at the opposite end of this cell returns the beam back through the sapphire
window into the internal volume of the detector and onto a filter that disperses,
focuses, and modulates the incident light. This filter is a patented silicon MEMS
component proprietary to GasSecure.
By applying a control voltage to the MEMS chip it is switched between the socalled gas state and the reference state. In the gas state a wavelength where
hydrocarbons do absorb light is focused onto the detector, whereas two
wavelengths where hydrocarbons do not absorb are focused onto the detector in
the reference state. The GS01 detector uses the same light source, light path and
photodetector for both measurements.
This single beam, triple wavelength detection is unique to the GS01 from
GasSecure.
DESCRIPTION
GasSecure GS01
Hardware Manual
1.3
Instrument description
The GS01 consists of the main housing (316L stainless steel) with mounting
bracket, the measuring cell, an antenna, and the battery compartment (cf. Figure
1-1). Attached to the main housing are the following detachable parts:
 Weather cap (Polyamide 6)
 Battery cap (Polyamide 6)
 Battery package (Polyamide 6)
Except for these detachable parts, the user shall not disassemble the sensor any
further. When the weather cap is removed, the infrared measuring cell with the
sapphire window on the main housing and the mirror at the outer end, is open and
accessible for cleaning. The ultrasonic sensor is protected by a perforated steel
sheet, which shall not be removed.
1.4
Battery
The GS01 may only be used with the GasSecure battery pack (Part number
10055). The battery pack is designed for two Lithium-Thionyl Chloride size D cells
in series, and has a nominal output voltage of 7.2V. The battery pack has an
internal charge counter. The battery pack is intrinsically safe as well (see Section
7).

INSTALLATION
Note: The GS01 gas detector certification must comply with the legal requirements
following the area classification at the installation point.
The detector shall be installed where it is most likely to detect gas in the event of a
leakage.
For battery pack installation see Section 5.4.
In areas with significant exposure to direct sunlight and the risk of temperatures
beyond the operating temperature range, a sunshade should be considered (see
list of spare parts in Table 5-1).
2.1
Tools
The following tools are needed to install the instrument:

Open-end spanner for M8 bolts (alternatively 5/16” bolts)

Face spanner with two pins in size 75x6 (distance x pin diameter) as
optional tool to remove the battery cap
2.2
Mounting
The detector is mounted with its long axis horizontally. Make sure, to the extent
possible, that the antenna is vertical (pointing up or down) and that local radio
shadowing is kept at a minimum.
Two M8 bolts (alternatively 5/16” bolts) with washers under the head are used to
attach the bracket. The bolts should be spaced from 85 to 95 mm to easily fit the
slots when mounting the detector.
The weather cap must be mounted with the arrow on the cap pointing upwards,
regardless if the antenna is pointing up or down (cf. Figure 2-1). If possible, mount
the GS01 with the weather cap oriented away from the prevailing wind direction.
Do not use the GS01 detector in ventilation ducts or pipes.
Do not mount the detector directly above hot or cold surfaces. If the detector is
mounted inside metallic structures or enclosures the need for a GS01 detector
with extendable antenna should be considered. Contact GasSecure for more
information on this option.
2.3
Grounding
The detector housing must be connected to ground for operation in hazardous
areas. This to avoid possible static charge build-up, which may arise from
INSTALLATION
GasSecure GS01
Hardware Manual
electrically isolated metal parts. Ground the detector either by mounting it on a
grounded metallic structure or by connecting a grounded wire to the screw holes in
the mounting bracket (cf. Figure 2-1). For the latter the wire should be minimum 4
mm2 (AWG 8) and as short as possible.
2.4
Sun shade / weather protection
The sun shade is available as optional accessory and recommended for locations
with high ambient temperature and / or direct sunlight exposure. It may also be
used as weather protection for instance in locations with frequent heavy
precipitation. The shade is fixed to the gas detector bracket with the same M8 (or
5/16”) bolts which are used for detector mounting. Make sure that the sun shade
is mounted the correct way so that the detector identification plate remains visible.

COMMISSIONING
The GS01 detector(s) is (are) set up in a wireless sensor network with a gateway
and router. The exact commissioning procedure depends on the selected type of
gateway. Therefore this manual must be used together with the relevant
documentation written for the respective gateway. Some references for such
documentation are provided in Section 9.
3.1
Communication
The GS01 detector complies with the ISA100 Wireless™ standard for wireless
communication.
Each GS01 detector must be paired with a single gateway, before it can
communicate with the network. The gateway is the interface between the wireless
and plant networks. It marks the transition between communications compliant to
the standard and other communications, and acts as a translator between ISA100
Wireless™ and other protocols (Modbus, PROFInet, etc.).
The pairing process, where the device obtains the appropriate security credentials
and network-specific information, is referred to as provisioning and is explained in
Section 3.6.
3.2
ISA100 Wireless™ standard
ISA100 Wireless™ is a wireless networking technology standard developed by the
International Society of Automation (ISA).
This ISA standard is intended to provide reliable and secure wireless operation for
safety, control, and monitoring applications. This standard defines the protocol
suite, system management, gateway, and security specifications for low-data-rate
wireless connectivity with fixed, portable, and moving field devices supporting very
limited power consumption requirements. The application focus is to address the
performance needs for periodic monitoring and process control where latencies on
the order of 100 ms can be tolerated with optional behaviour for shorter latency.
3.3
ISA100 objects
ISA100.11a defines a communication protocol, with an application layer that
includes a simple but extensible set of input and output objects.
The GS01 detector publishes the measured values and diagnostic information as
ISA100 objects and attributes. It is distinguished between standard attributes and
GS01 device specific attributes.
3.3.1
Standard objects
The GS01 publishes ISA100 standard objects and attributes for process value and
diagnostic status as outlined in Table 3-1 below. The gas measurement value is
sent as User Application - Analog Input Object with the attribute “Process Value”
COMMISSIONING
11
GasSecure GS01
Hardware Manual
(PV). The device health information is compiled and sent as User Application
Management Object with the attribute “Diagnostic Status” (DIAG_STATUS).
The concentrator of the gas detector is per default set up to publish the gas
measurement and the diagnostic status. The concentrator can be configured
differently in the gateway interface.
For short detector response time (<5 sec as per GS01 datasheet), the gateway
must be set up with a 2 sec sampling interval (also referred to as publication
period). In the absence of hydrocarbon gas, the detector will not publish on all
available time slots, but publish at approximately 1/4 of the timeout time defined
by the stale limit. (cf. Section 3.5) in order to save battery power. In the presence
of hydrocarbon gas of sufficient concentration (defined by the internal low alarm
limit see Table 8-1), all time slots will be used.

Recommendations for which status and diagnostic information to integrate in the
control and maintenance loop are also provided in the Appendix.
3.3.2
GS01 specific objects
In addition to the standard objects, the GS01 can be configured to publish and
subscribe to custom data objects. These objects are used for PROFIsafe
communication over PROFInet via the gateway. Contact GasSecure for further
information about GS01 specific objects if this option is considered.
12
CHAPTER 3
GasSecure GS01
Hardware Manual
3.4
GS01 data format details
The GS01 data objects can be mapped into 16 bit Modbus input registers.
The “PV” object (cf. Section 3.3.1) normally populates three registers; the
PV_Status byte populates the last 8 bits of the first register and the 32 bit float
number populates the following two registers.
The “UAPMO.DIAG_STATUS” object (cf. Section 3.3.1) is normally mapped into
two 16 bit registers. Some gateways will also add a status byte into the preceding
register. This status byte may be ignored, because its information is already
contained in the PV_status byte.
The procedure for Modbus register mapping depends on the specific gateway,
please consult the respective gateway manual on how to achieve this mapping.
GasSecure can assist with advice if needed.
3.5
Communication monitoring
The PV_Status byte (see Table 3-1) can be used for monitoring the
communication status and the data integrity. See Table 10-1 in the Appendix for
all details. If the detector communicates with the gateway, the status byte will be
decimal value 64 or higher; please refer to Table 3-2 below for the three main
classes of data integrity.
Table 3-2 PV Gas measurement data integrity
Data integrity
Octet decimal Explanation and actions

< 64
No communication or hardware failure.
Check communication. Contact GasSecure if
this failure persists.
Uncertain
64 to 127
The integrity of the data is uncertain. As
example the sensor range or temperature
range may be exceeded.
Good

Normal operation. The detector is providing
reliable gas measurements.
The status byte is updated by the gateway if the communication with the detector
is lost. The time from reception of the last packet and until the status byte is
updated to flag “lost communication” is defined via the stale limit parameter.
Please consult the gateway manual for information about setting this stale limit.
GasSecure’s recommendation is a sampling interval of 2 sec (see Section 3.3.1)
together with a stale limit of 30 times, so that “lost communication” is flagged after
maximum 60 sec. Under no circumstances the product of sampling interval and
stale limit must be set to less than 10 sec, because this would disable
communication between detector and gateway.
COMMISSIONING

GasSecure GS01
Hardware Manual
Note that the timeout, as defined by the stale limit, can be checked by removing
the battery and monitoring the time until the PV_Status byte is updated.
3.6
GS01 detector provisioning
All GS01 detectors have to be provisioned so that they will join the correct
network. Provisioning the GS01 requires the following:
•
•
An USB serial adapter interface to GS01 together with GS Provisioning
Tool software (both accessories from GasSecure)
The network (or subnet) ID of the gateway or backbone router
This procedure can be carried out with an unprovisioned GS01 or with a GS01
that earlier has been provisioned to another gateway.
3.6.1

detector:




16
The axis of the detector shall be horizontal.
Verify the correct orientation of the weather cap (cf. Figure 2-1).
Check that all bolts and screws are securely tightened.
Carry out a validation as described in Section 4.2.
CHAPTER 3
GasSecure GS01

OPERATION
The GS01 has no user adjustable parts. Do not open the instrument. Opening the
GS01 detector voids the warranty issued by the manufacturer.
4.1
Normal operation
After provisioning the GS01 detector with an ISA100 Wireless™ gateway, it will
perform the following tasks:
 Measure gas concentration
 Publish gas concentration to the gateway
 Publish other diagnostic information to the gateway
4.2
Validation
Note that the GS01 is calibrated according to IEC60079-20, which states an LEL
value of 4.4 %vol for Methane.
Although no re-calibration of the GS01 is necessary, it is recommended to check
the response of the detector once per year by applying pressurized test gas.
The weather cap is designed for validation, as it includes a 6 mm diameter tube
fitting for efficiently filling the GS01 measuring cell with a test gas mixture. Note
however that the test gas will leak out during testing and leakage will depend on
the wind speed. Therefore, the measured gas concentration is normally lower than
stated on the test gas cylinder. It is not recommended to carry out validation in
stronger wind, or alternatively the weather cap has to be covered on the outside in
this case, i.e. by applying tape to the openings.
The function of the detector is positively validated as long as it responds to the
test gas.
Please refer to Table 4-1 for the recommended gas mixtures and expected
instrument readings. Apply the test gas through a 6 mm tube from a gas cylinder
with pressure regulator. It is recommended to adjust the pressure to 0.6 – 0.8 bar
relative or alternatively the flow to 5 – 8 l/min.

MAINTENANCE
The GS01 detector is designed to reduce maintenance to a minimum.
The instrument does not have user adjustable parts. Do not attempt to open or
disassemble the instrument. This can compromise safety and performance.
Opening the GS01 voids the warranty issued by the manufacturer. All repairs have
to be done by the manufacturer or by an authorised dealer.
5.1
Routine maintenance
For best performance it is recommended to routinely carry out the following steps:

Clean the window and mirror when necessary (see Section 5.3 below). The
optical transmission of the infrared sensor maybe monitored with the
DIAG_STATUS attribute explained in Table 5-2 and Table 10-2.

Check the weather cap regularly to make sure it is not clogged (see Section
5.3 below).

Check battery status regularly. Replace low batteries in due time (see Section
5.4 below). The battery status maybe monitored with the DIAG_STATUS
attribute explained in Table 5-2 and Table 10-2.

Check the detector response every year (see Section 4.2).


Use soft tissue or a cotton swab and a lens cleaning fluid based on pure
water and isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and/or other alcohols.

Flush or wipe with pure water afterwards, and dry off with a soft dry tissue.

Reinstall the battery.

Note that gas alarms are likely to occur during and shortly after cleaning
due to the detector’s sensitivity to alcohol. This is avoided by removing the
battery while cleaning.

Other cleaning agents are not recommended, but if lens cleaning fluid or
IPA is not available, a diluted dishwasher detergent may be used if followed
by a thorough flushing with pure water. Dry off any remaining water
droplets.
The inside of the ultrasonic sensor does not need cleaning. If the perforated sheet
is clogged with dirt, clean compressed air may be used for removal.
If the detector is installed in an area where the weather cap may become clogged
(for instance by insects, leaves, ice or snow), it is recommended that this cap is
inspected regularly to make sure that air flows freely through the openings.

Battery pack
Note that the GS01 may only be operated with the GasSecure battery pack (p/n
10055).
5.4.1
Battery pack replacement
The battery pack is installed or replaced simply by twisting off the battery cap,
pulling out the old pack, pushing the new one in place, and putting back the cap.
The battery pack will only fit one way, so that correct polarity is ensured. After
inserting the battery pack, it may take up to 15 minutes before the detector is
transmitting data, depending on how the network is set up.
5.4.2
Battery cell replacement
The battery cells in the battery pack can be replaced. Assemble the battery pack
as described below.
Caution!
Only use battery packs that
 are designed for battery cell replacement. They will contain the label
depicted in Figure 5-1. Battery packs without this label may not be opened.
 are clean and free of contamination.
 are visually intact (particularly no damage around the screw holes).
 have no visible corrosion on the terminal contacts.
Battery cell replacement and opening the battery pack must take place in a safe
area, where a potential explosive atmosphere is not present.

GasSecure GS01
Hardware Manual
Figure 5-1: Battery pack warning label
Replacement:
 Loosen the two battery pack mounting screws, see Figure 5-2. Note that
the spring force is high, have therefore a firm grip around the pack while
unscrewing.
 Remove both used cells and dispose according to the battery cell safety
datasheet (see Section 5.4.3 for more information). Do not disassemble the
battery pack any further.
 Verify that new cells are of the correct type (cf. Section 5.4.3). Be sure to
replace both battery cells at the same time and only use fresh (previously
unused) cells.
 Place both battery cells in the battery pack, leaf contact facing the positive
(+) terminal and spring contact facing the negative (-) terminal, cf. Figure 53.
 Assemble lid and bottom of the pack by tightening the two screws with a
torque of approximately 0.7 Nm. Have a firm grip around the pack until the
screws are tight.
 Press the button on the pack, see Figure 5-2. This will indicate to the gas
detector that fresh batteries are in place and re-set the charge counter.
Note that only gas detectors with firmware 3.0 or later will recognize this
button operation. Please contact GasSecure should the detector in
question contain an older firmware version or should you be uncertain
about the firmware of this detector.

5.4.3
Handling battery packs and cells
The battery pack comprises two primary lithium thionyl chloride battery cells.
Under normal conditions, the battery materials are self-contained and are not
reactive as long as the battery cell and pack integrity are maintained. Care should
be taken to prevent thermal, electrical or mechanical damage. Protect the
electrode of the battery cells to avoid short circuits. Shorted battery cells may leak
fluid and produce excessive heat. Batteries should be stored in a clean and dry
area. For maximum battery life, storage temperature should not exceed 25°C.

Cross sensitivities
The GS01 is sensitive to many hydrocarbon gases, and does not distinguish one
from another. In the tables below cross sensitivities to important hydrocarbon
gases are presented. Please note that these are modelled estimates and shall be
used as an indication only. Please contact GasSecure for cross sensitivity
estimates for other gases than those listed below.
The tables are read as follows: The instrument reading is looked up in the first
column. The estimated actual concentration is found in the same row in the
column for the gas to be measured.
Example: If a methane detector is exposed to ethanol and a value of 40 %LEL is
read, the actual concentration of ethanol is approximately 15 %LEL.
All values in are in % LEL. LEL values as provided in Table 8-2.

Recommended implementation of status and diagnostic information
The PV_Status byte and the gas concentration (both published in the PV attribute)
are forwarded to the controller. The gas concentration is displayed as long as the
status byte reads “Good” (decimal value 128) or “Uncertain” (decimal value 64 to
127). When the status byte reads “Bad” (decimal value < 64) the detector will
output NaN 0x7fc00000 (not a number) per float definition in IEEE754.
The diagnostic information as published in the DIAG_STATUS attribute is
forwarded to the maintenance system.
Recommended is to read out the following bits:
Failure status F (bit 31)
Maintenance required status M (bit 28).
