1.4 U•H1 CONTROL UNIT
General information
The U•H1 control unit is a fixed automatic alarm management device linked to explosive gas
detection. The 3F+ detector is a fixed device that permanently transmits to the U•H1 control unit a signal
proportional to the gas concentration detected in the air.
Before the LEL1 for the gas observed is reached in the atmosphere, this electronic control unit can act
on safety equipment such as:
• the closure of a gas valve,
• the cut-off of the electrical current,
• the triggering of an alarm,
Two adjustable alarm thresholds are respectively associated with the actions on the relays. These are
relays controlling the safety equipment connected thereto.
A U•H1 control unit output specifically adapted for the connection of a sounder or a flash lamp is
automatically activated in case of alarm. At any time, it may be reset from the U•H1 control unit.
The U•H1 control unit also has internal fault management. Once detected, any abnormal operation of a
detector or the control unit is indicated by an action on the relay signalling the technical fault. This
function guarantees the reliability of the gas detection.
1 LEL: Lower explosive limit: the concentration from which an air/gas mix becomes dangerous.

Finally, all or part of the alarms can be notified to an external piece of equipment, such as a central
technical management system, by an action on an additional alarm relay.
At any moment, the status of the control unit and the triggering of each of the functions presented may
be observed visually through the elements on its front:
• A display with a backlight that varies based on the status of the U•H1 control unit and
providing an explanation of this status.
• A set of colour LEDs providing more specific information on these functions.
• An audible buzzer, which can be reset, is activated in the event of an alarm or by error
function.

2. INSTALLATION OF THE CONTROL UNIT
2.1 PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
For your safety, before undertaking any action, always make sure that the equipment is disconnected
from mains power supply.
The U•H1 control unit’s enclosure can only be opened by qualified personnel.
The U•H1 control unit must be placed in a room without any explosive atmosphere and within easy
reach.
As the U•H1 control unit’s enclosure is reversible, it may be set up to receive electrical cables from the
top or bottom. To guarantee optimal sealing, cables should be received from the bottom.
The equipment must be placed in a dry and clean environment.
A set of holes are provided in the enclosure. To install the cable glands, it is necessary to remove the
machined parts from these holes using a flat-head screwdriver and a mallet.
Important note:
Never place the U•H1 control unit, the alarm and the cable for the detector in the vicinity of :
- a high-voltage cable or a power cable,
- coaxial cable or transmitter,
- welding station or frequency regulator.
2.2 PLACEMENT OF THE U• H1 CONTROL UNIT
The U•H1 control unit must be attached to a clean and damp-free wall. Two attachment systems, a
drilling diagram and a quick installation guide are provided with the equipment. You can opt for
attachment via the enclosure or via the 4 fixing feets provided.
Optionally, it is also possible to attach the U•H1 control unit to a DIN rail. Please contact your
DALEMANS SA representative for more information.
If the attachment method without feet is chosen, attach the enclosure using the 4 holes located in the
corners of the enclosure using a PZ2 screwdriver with a minimum length of 150 mm.
For the different stages, refer to the quick installation guide provided in the packaging.
Before drilling these holes using a tool, it is recommended to remove the
electronic part to avoid any accidental damage.

2.3 CONNECTING THE CONTROL UNIT
The installation and the electrical connections must be carried out by qualified personnel in accordance
with the instructions set out in this manual and on the diagram shown on the back of the cover of the
U•H1 control unit.
It is recommended to place the circuit breaker in the vicinity of the equipment.
All installations must comply with locally-applicable standards and regulations, notably the cable type
and section of the wires to be used.
During electrical connection of the terminals, make sure the wires are attached to the connectors. Use
a maximum tightening torque of 0.60 Nm. In order to achieve electrical safety, wires going from the
enclosure’s cable glands to the board’s terminal blocks shall not be longer than 70 mm.
It is recommended to always use wires with a crimping end to avoid any risk of poor electrical contact.
Example of a connection diagram for the U•H1 control unit:
A circuit breaker (2-poles, 6A, 250V (AC)) must be placed on both live and
neutral. See the wiring example below.
12
www.dalemans.com |
2.4 CONNECTING THE DETECTOR
In the majority of cases the design of the U•H1 control unit makes the use of a shielded cable
useless. However, if the cable is exposed to magnetic interference (transmitters, welding station,
switching relay, HF transmitter disturbance of the cable conduit, computer network, etc.), the use of a
shielded cable is recommended.
To connect the detector, use a flexible 3-conductors cable with a section between 0.75 and 1.5 mm2.
The distance between the detector and the control unit is limited to 300 m.
Connect the terminals from each detector in the U•H1 control unit be respecting the following order:
Detector terminal Central terminal
24V 24V
GND GND
OUT IN
Warnings:
- Never use two or more wires to increase the wire section. The cable must be a single length (without connection) and properly attached to suitable terminals. Use a maximum tightening torque of 0.60 Nm.
- Never place the cable of a detector in proximity to a coaxial cable or next to a power cable and certainly not in the same conduit or in the same wire path.
2.5 POWER CONNECTION
The U•H1 control unit must be able to be isolated electrically in case of intervention (protection by a
breaker or a 2-way switch).
The power for the U•H1 control unit and that for the gas valve(s) must be connected on the same circuit.
Make sure that the power conductors are always fixed together and separated from the low-voltage
conductors.
The power cables for the 230 V section must have a minimum section of 1.5 mm2.
13
www.dalemans.com |
U•H1 Control Unit is a class I equipment. It must always be connected to ground using the protective
ground terminal in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
First connect protective ground wire using terminal 3. Then connect the 230V mains voltage to
terminals 1 and 2; see diagram below.
2.6 CONNECTING THE SIREN
The siren’s connection cables must meet the same requirements as those of the detector (see §
connecting the detector).
Connect the terminals + (terminal 21) and – (terminal 22) from the sounder device to the U•H1 control
unit. Respect the polarity to avoid damaging the sounder device.
To connect and adjust the tone of the alarm, refer to the sounder's instruction manual.
2.7 CONNECTING THE RELAYS
The U•H1 control unit has a technical fault relay and 3 relays addressable by the alarms. It is possible
to connect different types of servo controls thereto such as a sounder device, a valve, a flash lamp, etc.
14

3. INSTALLATION CONTROL
Wiring check
Check that each wire is positioned correctly and that the terminals are tightened properly.
Voltage verification
To power your U•H1 control unit on, make sure that the terminals are tightened properly and that the
supply voltage is within the accepted operating voltage range accepted by the U•H1 control unit.
4. INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION
The configuration mode for the U•H1 control unit comprises a set of menus allowing the consultation or
modification of the system’s parameters. These menus are accessible regardless of the status of the
U•H1 control unit by pressing “Enter” on the keypad (if the display is in sleep mode, this mode must be
exited first by pressing any button). Once in this mode, the colour of the display’s backlight changes
to blue.
The U•H1 control unit automatically exits from the configuration mode after a period of inactivity of 1
minute (no action on the keypad) and returns to the suitable mode (normal mode if no errors or alarms;
error mode if an error is present without an alarm; alarm mode if an alarm is present).
4.1 FACTORY CONFIGURATION
The U•H1 control unit comprises a factory configuration which can be adapted based on the installation in question.
By default, the U•H1 control unit is configured as follows:
• 1 detector,
• relays addressed as is:
o 1 first relay (terminals 7 - 9 on the diagram) associated with alarm of level 1,
o 2 finals relays (terminals 10 - 15 of the diagram) functioning simultaneously and associated with alarm of level 2,
• relay not in failsafe mode, i.e. not powered at rest and powered in case of alarm,
• gas concentration thresholds set at 20% LEL for alarm level 1 and 40% LEL for level 2,
• the input for an external alarm is disabled,
For commissioning, please contact DALEMANS SA to arrange an appointment !

18
www.dalemans.com |
• Alarm thresholds
The elements in this sub menu can be used to view the gas concentration value associated with the
threshold of the different alarm levels.
• Relay failsafe mode configuration
The safety mode of a relay defines its status when it is at rest:
- Not in failsafe mode: the relay is not powered at rest.
- Failsafe mode: the relay is powered at rest.
The failsafe mode of an alarm relay is unset by default. The failsafe mode of each alarm relay is
independently configurable.
• Reset mode for level 1 alarms
The reset mode for an alarm specifies the way in which it is reset:
- Latching mode: when the cause of the alarm has disappeared, the alarm remains activated until a manual action (“RESET”) is performed on the control unit.
- Non-latching mode: when the cause of the alarm has disappeared, the alarm is automatically
reset and disappears
Only the reset mode for the level 1 alarms can be configured. A level 2 alarm always needs to be
manually reset.
In manual reset mode, the U•H1 control unit can display an alarm message when the gas concentration
has already returned to under the alarm threshold.
Heater
Gas alarm 13%LEL
This configuration element applies to all level-1 alarms.
• “Siren” mode
The “Siren” mode designates a specific behaviour similar to that of the “Siren” output of the U•H1 control
unit or its audible indicator: while the alarm is still active (the gas concentration is still greater than the
alarm threshold), it is possible to reset the actions on the relays.
Note:
The “Technical Fault” relay is always in failsafe mode.
Activation of this configuration is to be performed by a technician approved by DALEMANS SA.
Note:
The “latching” mode of the relays is the default mode.
19
www.dalemans.com |
This configuration element applies to all level-1 alarms.
• Behaviour of the external alarm
The reaction of the U•H1 control unit to a change of state on the “External Alarm” input can be
configured as follows:
- Disabled: a change of the input’s state will have no effect,
- Addresses the level 1 alarm ("Set alarm level 1"): a change of the input’s state activates the
level 1 alarm of the U•H1 control unit,
- Addresses the level 2 alarm ("Set alarm level 2"): a change of the input’s state activates the
level 2 alarm of the U•H1 control unit.
- Addresses both alarm levels ("Set alarm levels 1&2"): a change of the input’s state activates
the levels 1 and 2 of the alarm of the U•H1 control unit.
• Normal state of the external alarm
The external alarm, when it is active, is triggered by a change of state on the U•H1 control unit which is
dedicated to the external alarm’s connection. This configuration element specifies the state of this input
at rest and, as a result, the nature of the state change which triggers the alarm.
The possible states are as follows:
• “normally closed”: at rest, the circuit connected to the input is closed. The external alarm is
thus activated when the circuit is opened.
• “normally opened”: at rest, the circuit connected to the input is open. The external alarm is
activated when the circuit is closed.
• Errors reset mode
The U•H1 Control Unit has an internal fault management. Once detected, any abnormal operation of the
U•H1 Control Unit or D•TEX 3F+ detector is notified by an action on the relay signaling the technical
defect.
The mode to reset a technical fault specifies how it is reset:
- as standard, the U•H1 Control Unit is configured for automatic reset.
Error reset mode
Automatic
Note:
This mode does not apply to level-2 alarms.
20
www.dalemans.com |
When the cause of the error restored, the message is automatically reset and disappears.
- Manual reset.
In the manual acknowledge mode, although the cause of the error has disappeared and the system is restored, the error remains notified until a manual action (“2x RESET”) is performed on the U•H1 control unit.

It is possible, without disconnecting the detector connected to the measurement channel of the U•H1
control unit, to simulate the gas detection.
Once the function has been selected, the simulation begins:
- the initial value of the simulation is the gas concentration currently measured on the detector,
- the cursor flashes on the figure which can be modified (the tens or the units).
The value of simulated gas concentration is modified using the “Up” and “Down” buttons.
The “right” and “left” buttons move from one figure to another of the gas concentration value with the
first figure allowing modification by tens and the second by unit.

Pressing the “Esc” button ends the simulation.
Configuration of the measurement channel
Once a measurement channel is selected, this sub menu can be used:
• to assign a location to the detector
• to put the detector out of service
• Location of the detector
In the U•H1 control unit, the location can be used to identify the connected detector. Changing the
parameters for locating the detector can be found in the sub-menu « Channel location » on the U•H1
control unit.
A location can be assigned to the detector in 2 different ways:
• predefined location (“Preset preset”)
• customised location (“Custom location”)
These 2 methods can be combined by customising a location that has been chosen beforehand from
the list of predefined locations.
• Predefined locations
The U•H1 control unit offers a list of predefined locations. The latter exists in 3 languages (English,
Dutch and French). For details of the list, please refer to annex 4 - Predefined locations.
The selection of the location from the list takes place using the “Up” and “Down” buttons.
When the location names allow (display limited to 20 characters), an index from 1 to 9 may be added
using the “Right” and “Left” buttons.
The confirmation of the location choice takes place using the “Enter” button.
The choice of location may be interrupted and abandoned using the “Esc” button.
Note:
During a simulation, the alarms management works normally. Then, if the simulated gas
concentration exceeds an alarm threshold, this alarm is triggered, and the associated outputs are
activated as well as the servo controls connected thereto.

Maintenance management
The maintenance menu is used to configure the functions related to the management of the
maintenance alert:
• the maintenance interval,
• the renewal of the validity of the calibration of a detector.
• Maintenance interval
By default, the maintenance period for the detector is set at 13 months in the U•H1 control unit.
Under certain conditions (particular atmospheres, fixed or variable temperature and humidity conditions,
etc), it may be useful to adjust the maintenance period. It is possible to adjust it in an interval between
3 and 26 months.
Once the modification of the maintenance interval is selected, the period currently configured in the
U•H1 control unit is displayed and the cursor flashes on the first digit (the tens) of the value in months.
Maintenance interval
13 months
To guarantee optimal monitoring of the installation, annual maintenance
is recommended. Therefore, changing the value of this interval is not recommended.
The maintenance alert does not indicate a problem with the system but rather acts as a
reminder. However, renewing the validity of the calibration of the detector may have a
significant impact on the gas detection function and can lead to the malfunctioning of the
U•H1 control unit if the detector is no longer calibrated correctly.
28
www.dalemans.com |
The value of the period is modified using the “Up” and “Down” buttons.
The buttons “Right” and “Left” move from one figure to another in the period value with the first figure
allowing modification by tens and the second by unit.
Pressing the “Enter” button selects the value chosen for the calibration period. A confirmation is requested.
Set interval ?
09 months
Pressing the “Enter” button confirms the modification of the calibration interval.
The “Esc” button can be used to abandon the modification and return to the information menu.
• Renewal of the validity of the calibration parameters
Ordinarily, the renewal of the validity of the detector’s calibration parameters takes place automatically
during its calibration by a technician approved by DALEMANS SA. The maintenance period for the
calibrated detector is then reset.
In certain cases, the detector may have been verified by an approved inspection body and the validity
of the calibration of the detector may then be extended.
The detector is displayed with the number of days since its last calibration and the value of the full gas
concentration scale that the detector can estimate.

Initialization of the detector
When the U•H1 control unit leaves the factory, the detector channel is deactivated. An initialization of
the detector is necessary to activate the channel to which the detector is connected. Via this sub menu,
the U•H1 control unit starts the verification of the channel, performs an offset initialization of the
measurement and displays the situation visible thereto.
During the detection and calibration phase :
• a spinning symbol reports the initialization process
• a ‘-‘ symbol (dash) for a channel seen without the detector or with the detector that the offset
initialization failed for
• a ‘*’ symbol (star) for a channel seen with a connected and initialization detector
The initialized detector is displayed.

6. TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
6.1 GENERAL REMARKS
The explosive power of a gas-air mixture depends on the gas concentration in the air. If this
concentration is too low, it is said that the mixture is too weak to explode. If, by increasing the gas
concentration, the mixture becomes rich enough to explode, we have reached the Lower Explosive
Level – L.E.L.
At the Upper Explosive Level - U.E.L., the mixture becomes too rich and cannot explode due to a lack
of oxygen and simply burns.
A DALEMANS SA gas detection control unit helps you to prevent any risk of explosion in an atmosphere
where the risk of a gas leak exists.
6.2 DETECTABLE GASES
The U•H1 control unit has been specially designed to be placed in a heater room environment where
there is a risk of leakage of the following gases:
Gas * Formula Density (air = 1) CAS N° Position
Cracked gas - 0,47 -
High Natural gas - 0,68 -
Methane CH4 0,55 74-82-8
Butane C4H10 2,05 74-98-6
Low
Propane C3H8 1,56 106-97-8
