1.2 Product Configuration

Various module configuration options are available. Where applicable, these options are factory configured prior to shipment. Options which can be re-configured by the installer or field technician are fully described in this manual.

1.3 Theory of Operation

Infrared (IR) gas sensors operate on the principle of absorption of IR light. As air containing an IR absorbing gas passes between an IR source and IR detector, the amount of light detected is attenuated. The attenuation of IR light is then compared to a calibrated standard to determine the concentration of gas in the air sample.

1.4 Modes of Operation

1.4.1 Sentr y Interface

IT gas sensor modules can be installed on Sierra Monitor Sentry Model 5000 controllers Ver. 6.XX MFD after

9/1/95. Infrared modules communicate as a combustible gas sensor module (Type 2 – communication) and are automatically detected by the Sentry controller. When it is installed in a Sentry system the IT module must have a unique address which can be established by setting an address between 1 and 8 on the Module Address Switch accessible from the cover plate as illustrated in

Figure 4 .

Figure 10 in this manual provides the wiring

terminations for connections to the Sentry controller.

When the module is operated in conjunction with a Sentry controller, the alarm relay setup (

Section 5.3

) should

be set to “Sentry”, allowing the Sentry controller to manage alarm relay action rather than the 5100-28-IT Gas

Sensor Module.

1.4.2 Modbus operation

An RS-485 Modbus RTU serial interface allows direct connection to standard Sentry IT, PLCs and DCSs. The

Module Address Switch ( Section

4.5

) allows the user to select up to 15 different Modbus addresses. Also, up to

254 different Modbus Addresses are available via menu selection. Figure 10 in this manual provides the wiring

terminations for Modbus connections.

1.4.3 Analog Operation

The analog 4-20 mA interface allows direct connection to standard controller and distributed system. The module is an active current source.

The standard configuration is set up for a 3-wire non-isolated connection. An optional 4-wire isolated connection is also available and can be enabled by changing JP1 and JP2.

1.4.4 Rem ote Sensor

The Remote Sensor option, enables the remote mounting of the sensor up to 100’ from the transmitter. See

Appendix G for more information.

1.4.5 Hart Connection

A HART interface option is available. Refer to Appendix H

for information.

1.4.6 Optional Integral Rela ys

The optional relays are integral to the gas sensor module and are rated as SPDT, 250V AC, 5 Amps for the High

Alarm and Low Alarm relays and SPDT, 250V AC, 0.25 AMP for the Trouble relay.

NOTE: HART option, alarm trouble relays are all SPDT, 250V AC, 2 Amp

If the gas sensor module is provided with the optional relays, it will include Terminal P4 on the interface board

( Figure 12 ). Relay output connections are on P4.

1.4.7 Rem ote Alarm Reset

1.5.2 Transm itter Electronics

Electronic Assembly consisting of one printed circuit board assembly mounted under a cover plate, plugged into one field termination board. Connectors for wiring for power, signal interface and alarm relays are located on the bottom of the termination board.

1.5.3 Sensor Assem bly

The sensor assembly includes an explosion proof housing containing the gas sensor and a wiring harness for connection to the transmitter. The sensor assembly threads into one hub of the enclosure. The exposed end of the sensor assembly is threaded to allow connection of a rain-shield or calibration gas.

1.6 Interconnected W iring

Not supplied with the sensor module, but necessary to the installation and operation is the multi conductor wiring which connects the module to its power source and controller. Before this wiring is installed it is important to read and understand the control system installation instructions to determine wiring alternatives requirements and alternatives.

1.7 Power Requirements

IT modules operate on DC power between 10V DC and 30V DC. Regulated DC power must be supplied form a separate source, or from an approved Sentry of IT controller.

2 CAUTIONS & WARNINGS

2.1 Introduction

Although IT Transmitter Modules are designed and constructed for installation and operation in industrial applications including "hostile" environments, caution should be taken to insure that the installation is made in compliance with this instruction manual and that certain procedures and conditions are avoided. This chapter discusses the necessary cautions. Read the entire chapter prior to installation of the equipment.

CAUTION: For safety reasons this equipment must be operated and serviced by qualified personnel only.

Read and understand instruction manual completely before operating or servicing.

ATTENTION: Pour des raisons de securite, cet equipement doit eotre utilise, entretenu et repare uniquement par un personnel qualifie. Etudier l e manuel d’instructions en entier avant d’utiliser, d’entretenir ou de reparer l’equipement.

CAUTION: This area must be free of flammable gases during calibration.

ATTENTION: Cette zone doit rre exempte de gaz inflammables pendant l’etalonnage.

2.2 Gas Sensor Modules – General

Avoid installing sensor modules where they will be unnecessarily exposed to wind, dust, water (i.e. direct hose down), shock, or vibration. Observe temperature range limitations.

Sensors may be adversely affected by prolonged exposure to certain materials. Loss of sensitivity, or corrosion, may be gradual if such materials are present in low concentrations. These materials include: Halides (compounds containing chlorine, fluorine, bromine, iodine), acid vapors, caustic liquids or mists.

Care has been taken by the manufacturer to ship your modules in protective packaging to avoid contamination prior to installation. It is recommended that the modules remain protected during installation and that the covering be removed immediately prior to system start-up.

During normal use the sensor is protected from dirt and oil contamination by a sintered metal cover. If this cover becomes clogged, the response of the sensor will be reduced. Protect the sensor from contamination by careful placement, or by use of rain and dust shields.

Sensor modules must not be painted. Paint may contain compounds which will contaminate the sensor. Paint will cause clogging of the sintered metal cover and will cause difficulties during attachment of the calibration head or other maintenance activity. It is recommended that the module be tagged "DO NOT PAINT" .

Model 5100-28-IT Combustible Gas Sensor Module

2.3 W iring W arnings

The manufacturer recommends that extra caution be taken where the installation is near any sources of electromagnetic or radio frequency interference. Precautions include:

Avoid running sensor module cable close to high power cables, radio transmission lines, or cables subject to pulses of high current.

Avoid running cables near large electric motors, generators or variable drive motors.

Unit is shipped with RF filter that is clipped onto the sensor assembly connector.

User will need to install RFI Noise Suppressor supplied with each sensor module as per Appendix F .

When the sensor module is to be operated in analog (4-20 mA output) mode shielded cable is required.

When shielding is used, it is recommended that shields be grounded at the controller and nowhere else.

All splices must be via either a termination hardware system or soldered. Improperly spliced cable can result in corrosion, resistance changes and system errors. The use of wire nuts and crimp-on connectors is unacceptable.

NOTE: Installation and wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code. AC Voltage conductors are not to be run in the same conduit as DC voltage conductors.

Model 5100-28-IT Combustible Gas Sensor Module

3 QUICK START

3.1 Overview

The gas sensor module has been supplied factory calibrated and ready for immediate installation and operation.

An installer familiar with installation and operation of gas detection products can use this section to begin immediate use of the module.

3.2 W iring

See

Section 4.2

to determine if 3-wire or 4-wire operation is necessary.

Provide twisted shielded or triad type wiring from the power supply/control device to the sensor module location.

Use stranded wire that is 16 AWG or larger.

3.3 Module Installation

The sensor module can be mounted in a variety of configurations supported by the conduit. See Figure 3 to

determine which configuration is best for your specific application. The default configuration enables the modules to be put in line with other modules with the sensor element below the transmitter. To change the configuration simply remove the transmitter and rotate to the appropriate configuration and remount the standoffs and transmitter.

The module is designed to be installed on a ¾” conduit. Two important warnings:

The installation must meet any hazardous environment codes for electrical equipment.

The sensor module enclosure mounting must be spaced far enough from any vertical surface to allow removal and replacement of the sensor assembly which is threaded into one ¾” conduit entry.

Sensor housing must be oriented vertically pointing downward.

If module is installed outdoors it is recommended that it be sheltered from direct sunlight.

3.4 Transmitter Installation

To install the transmitter printed circuit assembly into the housing, carefully turn the faceplate so that the printing is in the correct horizontal position for the mounting configuration and slide the assembly over the two stand-offs in the enclosure.

Hand tighten the two captive panel thumb screws into the stand-offs. Replace the enclosure cover prior to providing power to the transmitter.

NOTE: If the transmitter is installed in a classified hazardous area, replace the threaded cover prior to providing power.

3.5 Start-Up & Operation

To begin operation of the sensor module, activate the instrument loop with 10-30V DC. Each time the sensor module is powered up it will perform a warm-up for approximately 5-10 minutes. During this time the display will read “Starting”. The loop output will be held at 4 mA.

NOTE:

If the sensor is uncalibrated, the startup display will state “START” instead of “STARTING”.

After the warm-up period has expired, the display will indicate the gas concentration. Also, the instrument loop will be released to output current in the range of 4 to 20 mA. The actual current is linear with the gas concentration.

Page 13 of 60

Model 5100-28-IT Combustible Gas Sensor Module

4 INSTALLATION

NOTE: All IT modules are factory pre-configured and calibrated.

All modules are tagged to indicate the configuration including the sensor module number.

Identify all components during unpacking and install using the factory configuration.

4.1 Sensor Module Locations

Select locations for each sensor modules based on the following:

Modules should be placed close to the potential source of gas.

Modules should be placed in areas accessible for calibration.

Sensors should be pointed down and the conduit should include an inverse trap to reduce moisture

(condensation) from accumulating in the electronics enclosure.

Remote calibration fitting (5360-00) should be used to facilitate calibration gas delivery. Run polyurethane tubing (1/4” O.D. x 1/8” I.D.) from fitting to an accessible location.

Figure 4: Typical Mounting Options

NOTE: Module must always be installed vertically with sensor pointing down.

Model 5100-28-IT Combustible Gas Sensor Module

4.2 W iring

4.2.1 Analog 4-20 m A Operation

For a 3-Wire non-isolated connection, set jumpers, located on the bottom of the transmitter board, to the lower

position as illustrated in Figure 9 . Verify that both jumpers are in the position marked by 3-wire. When using a

3-wire connection, a minimum of a 16 AWG, 3 conductor shielded cable must be used. A cable shield must never be used as a conductor. Larger gauge wire is recommended with distances over 1000’. Connect wires as shown

in Figure 9 .

For a 4-Wire isolated connection, set jumpers, located on the bottom of the transmitter board, to the upper

position as illustrated in Figure 9 . Verify that both jumpers are in the position marked by 4-wire. When using a

4-wire connection, a minimum of 2 each of a 16 AWG, 2 conductor twisted/shielded pair cable must be used. A cable shield must never be used as a conductor. Larger gauge wire is recommended with distances over 1000’.

Connect wires as shown in Figure 9 .

4.2.2 Modbus Operation Using Rs -485 Connection

Use a minimum of 16 AWG, 2 conductors for DC power connection. No shield required. In addition, use a minimum of 24 AWG, low capacitance, shielded data cable for RS485 half-duplex communication. The installation may be planned in a manner which provides up to 32 sensor modules on a single home run.

TERMINATION RESISTOR JUMPERS:

Termination resistors are used in RS-485 wire runs to provide impedance matching. The IT series modules use a

120 Ohm resistor for this function. The cable being used for this RS-485 connection must have a minimum of 100

Ohm impedance with a maximum of 120 Ohms.

Installations where the cable length is under 100’, termination resistors may not be required. In installations where the cable length is greater than 100’, it is recommended to place the termination jumpers on the first device and last device on the RS-485 wire run. Termination jumpers must be removed from all other modules connected between the first and last device. The first device in the RS-485 multiplexed bus is usually a gas controller or

PLC. Factory term resistor setting is “not enabled.”

BIAS JUMPERS: (BIAS A, BIAS B)

Bias resistors are used to force RS-485 receiver outputs to a known (fail-safe) state, when the bus is idle. Bias jumpers are always installed in pairs as the bias must be placed on both the TX A and TX B lines. Sierra Monitor’s

IT series of combustible gas sensors automatically apply the bias jumpers, and are factory installed so that the bias is always enabled.

4.2.3 Sentr y Operation Using Sentr y PSG Connection

Use a minimum of 18 AWG, 3conductor cable up to 2000’. The cable may or may not be shielded. We recommend shielded cable in circumstances that there could be RF or EM interference present. Shield to be terminated and grounded only at the Sentry controller. Shield must be cut and dressed at the module end so that no part of it comes in contact with the conduit or ground.

NOTE: Be sure to follow all local electric code and safety requirements when installing the 5100-28-IT

Gas Sensor Module.

Page 15 of 60

Model 5100-28-IT Combustible Gas Sensor Module

4.2.4 General

Install conduit as required by local code or construction specifications. Provide for splice boxes where multiple modules will be wired to a single run. Pull conductors of the correct gauge wire from the controller to each splice box and from the respective splice box to each planned module location. See for proper wire termination in the splice box. Twisted wire secured with wire nuts is not an acceptable splice.

NOTE: RFI Noise Suppressor must be added to power/ground as per Appendix F .

NOTE: The drain wire of the shielded cable must NOT be used as one of the conductors.

NOTE: Installation and wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Temperature rating of cable wire must be at least 75 o C. If cable runs through higher temperature environments, it must be specified for that environment.

4.3 Enclosure Installation

To protect the transmitter and sensor assembly they should be removed from the enclosure and preserved until final installation and wiring termination.

6 CALIBRATION

6.1 Calibration Frequency

The 5100-28-IT has been calibrated in the factory prior to shipment. It is recommended that the user check calibration before placing in service. The IR sensor module must be calibrated annually. Periodic functional tests are advisable for critical applications and hostile environments.

The sensor module microprocessor software includes high level self-checking algorithms which provide continuous sensor diagnostic and self-adjustment. Users may elect to increase calibration periods based on low drift experience during the first two calibration periods.

6.2 Calibration Preparation

Calibration of the IR Sensor is accomplished by simple menu based steps and application of span gas.

NOTE: If an error is made during any stage of the calibration process, hold the magnet stick at the key M for 10 seconds. A scrolling display will indicate “Calibration aborted” and the sensor module will exit the calibration activity and return to normal operating mode. The calibration procedure can then be restarted.

Calibration must be performed only when the area is known to be clear of combustible gas. If necessary, use a portable instrument to confirm that there is no background combustible gas.

For compliance with Factory Mutual (FM) Apparatus, the Sierra Monitor Model 1200-26, 1250-01, 1256-01 and

1260-02 are the only FM Approved calibration gas delivery devices. Use Model 5358-01 Calibration Adapter or

Model 5360-00 Gas Delivery Fitting.

6.3 Calibration Gas Delivery Methods

Calibration gas can be delivered to the sensors via the following delivery devices.

Model 5358-01 : Calibration Adapter - use with portable calibrators.

Model 5360-00 : Calibration Gas Delivery fitting - permanently installed fitting which allows tubing to be run to a convenient delivery location.

Figure 19: Model 5358-01

Calibration Adapter

6.4 Calibration Procedure

The Calibration Table in

Section 6.6

shows the step by step process of the calibration procedure.

The procedures require that the menu “keys” be activated using the magnet stick. Each key press steps through the process of setting the zero value for clean air and then setting the span value. Zero step performed for a minimum of two minutes.

At each of these steps, apply calibration gas of the value corresponding to the setting accepted on the sensor module display.

Page 28 of 60

Model 5100-28-IT Combustible Gas Sensor Module

6.5 Sensor Exposure to Gas

Calibration gas must be delivered to the sensor using the flow rate and duration listed in below:

Model

5100-28-IT

Gas Type

Methane

Flow

300 cc/min

Period

Until Stable –

3 minute minimum

NOTE: Following calibration, the IR module counts down for 300 seconds. During this time the module is updating its internal memory and it is very important that its power not be interrupted

RFI NOISE SUPPRESSOR

Model 5100-28-IT Combustible Gas Sensor Module

Appendix F.1 Installation Instructions

NOTE: The Noise Suppressor is required to be installed in all Model 5100-28 applications. If gas sensor modules are daisy chained, both sets of wire require suppressors.

For applications with single home run wiring (no daisy chain board):

1. Pull applicable wiring into the enclosure per normal field pre-wire procedure.

2. Connect the three conductors to the transmitter (generally pins 1, 2, 3 on P2), leaving a service loop to allow installation and removal of the transmitter.

3. Place the suppressor over the three wires and snap it closed so the wires run through the center hole.

4. Slide the suppressor into the enclosure as close to the entry hub as possible (to allow working space).

5. Install the transmitter into the enclosure per standard module instructions.

For applications with daisy chain board (for multi-drop wiring):

1. Pull the applicable pair of three conductor cables or wires into the enclosure per normal field pre-wire procedure.

2. Connect each set of three conductors to the daisy chain board leaving service loops to allow installation and removal of the transmitter.

3. Place on suppressor over each set of three wires and snap it closed so the wires run through the center hole.

4. Slide the suppressors into the enclosure as close to the entry hub as possible (to allow working space).

5. Install the transmitter into the enclosure per standard module instructions.

HART Protocol Menu

HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) Protocol is the global standard for sending and receiving digital information across analog wires between smart devices and control or monitoring system. HART is a bidirectional communication protocol that provides data access between intelligent field instruments and host systems. A host can be any software application from technician's hand-held device or laptop to a plant's process control, asset management, safety or other system using any control platform. The HART protocol used on this gas sensor module has been developed to comply fully with the HART specifications outlined by the HART

Communication Foundation (HCF).

If the HART interface board has been provided with the gas sensor module, then HART will operate via the 4-20 mA interface automatically. While no specific handheld device is necessary for HART operation, the gas sensor module does comply with the HART standard so any handheld or PC-based HCF certified tool will work.

The information below provides the operator instructions on connecting HART and the HART Protocol Menu.
