1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1.1 GENERAL
The Sentry 5000 is a fixed installation gas monitoring system designed for continuous operation in open or confined areas. The system is comprised of a controller and up to eight sensor modules. The sensor modules are supplied for detection of combustible gas, oxygen deficiency or various toxic gases and can be mixed within one system as required.
1.2 CONTROLLER
The Sentry controller is a microprocessor computer which performs functions including management of the sensor modules, management of alarm relays and interface with the user via the front panel which includes a concentration display, an alphanumeric display, keypad and status indicators. The microprocessor functions are permanently installed in the controller. They cannot be changed or damaged by the user and will not be altered by loss of power.
Configuration variables, such as alarm levels, can be changed via a simple keypad sequence. Information provided to the controller in this manner is retained even when the power is interrupted. This information can be protected by a "user code" to avoid unauthorized modification.
Sentry continually scans all modules for alarm conditions.
No sequence of key presses can prevent the scanning except specific actions during calibration or deliberate disabling of the sensor module.
The Sentry controller is provided in a rack or panel mount version for control rooms, an environmental enclosure for outdoor, stand alone applications, or other packages for specialty applications.
1.2.1 ENHANCEMENT PACKAGE
Various factory installed firmware enhancements are available for the Sentry controller. These are selected at the time of purchase or subsequent upgrade. The enhancements, which are described in detail in the appropriate sections of this manual, include:
− Addition of printer output firmware for models
5000-04 or 5000-02. Printer output is standard on model 5000-08.
−
−
−
Replace printer output firmware with MODBUS data address protocol for host computer or DCS interface. MODBUS is an industry standard communication protocol which allows bidirectional communication via the controller RS-
232C serial port.
High Alarm Acknowledge function for alarm reset.
Low Alarm Acknowledge function for alarm reset
−
−
Emergency Alarm function adds a third alarm level.
Zone and Voting assignment of individual alarm relays.
−
−
Analog Output software driver for use with
Model 4314-01 output module.
Custom default Gas Tags and Engineering Units
Tags for up to eight input devices.
−
−
Custom default Module Tags for up to eight module addresses.
Configure alarm relays to be normally energized in the safe condition.
1.3 SENSOR MODULES
Each sensor module ("module") is labeled internally to identify the type of gas it is designed to detect. For each gas group, the sensor and the electronics board in the explosion proof housing is different. During installation, switches in the electronics are set by the user to give the module an address (module number) to make it unique from others in the same system. Sentry then
"communicates" with each module to determine its number, the type of gas it detects, the gas concentration and other information.
Inside the module housing is an electronic assembly consisting of two printed circuit board assemblies mounted under a metal top plate. The address switches and adjustment potentiometers are accessible through the plate and electrical test points (test lead jacks) are installed in the plate. Connectors for wiring from the controller and the sensor are located on the bottom of the electronic assembly. The sensor is installed in one hub of the enclosure.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

1.4 INTERCONNECT WIRING
Not supplied with Sentry, but necessary to the installation and operation is the three conductor wiring which connects the controller to the modules. Before this wiring is installed it is important to read and understand the installation instructions (Chapter 3) because significant economies can be realized by connecting more than one module onto a common wiring run. This standard feature is accomplished by multiplexing the signals from the modules to the controller.
1.5 DATA TRANSMISSION
Transparent to the user is the data transfer which occurs on the installed interconnect wiring. Two of the conductors are used to pass direct current (DC) from the controller to the modules. The third wire transfers a series of very rapid pulses between the controller and the sensor modules.
This digital transfer of information is an important feature of the system which significantly reduces RFI and EMI problems.
1.6 POWER REQUIREMENTS
The standard system requires 120 VAC, 60 Hz, at 0.5
Amp electrical supply. A factory option can be ordered for 220 VAC operation. DC voltage (12 to 28 VDC) can be used for standby power. The system will automatically switch to supplied DC operation at any time the AC voltage is interrupted.
The system includes a lithium battery for RAM memory retention during power interruptions. To ensure continuous trouble free operation, however, the primary power source must be one which is continuous and reliable, preferably dedicated to this equipment. Battery back-up or emergency power is recommended to insure continuous operation.

2.1 INTRODUCTION
Although the Sentry system is 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.
2.2 CONTROLLER
The controller should be installed in a location which is safely accessible during a gas alarm.
Avoid installing the controller where it will be unnecessarily exposed to wind, dust, shock or vibration or direct sun. Observe temperature range limitations.
Adhere to standard electrical installation procedures. The chassis ground on the controller must be connected to earth ground.
2.3 WIRING
While the digital communication method used between the controller and modules will greatly reduce problems associated with electromagnetic and radio frequency interference the manufacturer recommends that extra caution be taken where the installation is near any sources of these interferences:
• 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 or generators.
• When the risk of interference is present use shielded cables. In conduit installations the shield should be connected to the conduit. In cable applications the shield should be connected to the cable connector.
• All splices must be via either a lug and terminal system or soldered. Improperly spliced cable can result in corrosion, resistance changes and system errors.
NOTE
Installation and wiring must be in accordance with the
National Electrical Code
2. CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
2.4 SENSOR MODULES - GENERAL
Avoid installing sensor modules where they will be unnecessarily exposed to wind, dust, water (esp. 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), silicones, 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 sensors 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" .
When sensors are replaced the thread must be Teflon taped to avoid metal to metal binding which will damage the housing threads.
2.4.1 COMBUSTIBLE SENSOR MODULES
Catalytic type combustible gas sensors may be poisoned by exposure to silicones. Sierra Monitor Corporation supplies resistant sensors, but care should be taken to avoid exposure to silicones. No Silicone caulking (RTV) should be used near the sensors. No other silicone based compounds should be used near the sensors unless they are fully protected during the entire cure cycle. If the sensors will be exposed to silicone during normal operation the manufacturer's sensor warranty is void.
CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
Page: 15
SMC sierra monitor corporation Sentry Instruction Manual - Version 6
3. INSTALLATION
NOTE
All systems are factory are pre-configured and calibrated.
All sensors are tagged to indicate the controller (alpha) and the sensor module number (1 - 8).
Identify all components of the system during unpacking and install using the factory configuration.
The system will power up in a calibrated and fully functional condition.
3.1 CONTROLLER LOCATION
Rack mounted controllers should be installed in a control room environment where they will be relatively free from dust and temperature extremes. For ease of operation select a rack window space at approximately eye level.
Four controllers can be installed side by side in a 19" instrument shelf.
Enclosed controllers for outdoor applications should be located in the most protected location available with consideration for easy access for installation and calibration. The enclosures should be mounted on a vertical surface with the key board at approximately eye level. The enclosure should not face directly into the sun.
3.2 SENSOR MODULE LOCATIONS
Select locations for each of the sensor modules based on the following:
• Consider the density, relative to dry air, of the gas to determine height of module above floor or ground level:
Gas Density
(Air = 1.00)
Carbon Monoxide
Ethylene Oxide
Hydrogen Chloride
Hydrogen Cyanide
Hydrogen Sulfide
0.97
1.52
1.27
0.94
1.19
Nitrogen Dioxide
Oxygen (Air)
Sulfur Dioxide
1.58

2.26
Table 3-1
Specific Gravity of Selected Gases
• 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 Figure 3-3.
3.3 WIRING
Plan the wiring arrangement to minimize installation expense but with redundancy for critical locations. Wire shall be Belden (or equivalent) 949X (where X = 2, 3, 4, or 5 depending on wire gauge). If high RFI or EMI levels exist wiring should be protected by conduit or shield.
Shielded wire shall be Belden (or equivalent) 936X.
NOTE
In no case should the drain wire of shielded cable be used as one of the conductors.
• Any modules which are located in a common geographical area a long distance from the controller can be connected to the same three conductor wire run installed from the controller to that area. Table 3-2,
Figure 3-4.
• The remote auxiliary power supply option can be used for installation of one or more modules a long distance from the controller location. The connection from the controller to the remote power supply is via a two conductor "data link" Figure 3-4.

INSTALLATION
Page: 17
SMC sierra monitor corporation
Install conduit as required. Provide for splice boxes where multiple modules will be wired to a single run. Pull 3
(typical: white, black, green) 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 Figure 3-5 for proper wire termination in the splice box. Twisted wire secured with wire nuts is not an acceptable splice.
NOTE
Installation and wiring must be in accordance with the
National Electrical Code
In installations where redundancy of module locations is a requirement do not install multiple modules on one cabling run as any damage to the primary wiring will disable all the modules.
NOTE
Temperature rating of cable wire insulation must be above
75oC (85oC or greater rating wiring is recommended). If cable runs through higher temperature environments, it should be specified for that environment.
3.4 SENSOR MODULE INSTALLATION
Note: Remove spring from the electromechanical sensor (5100-04 through 5100-23) prior to installation.
See technical note provided with sensor module.
1. Remove the electronics from the module housing by:
• Unscrew the two captive panel screws in the top plate.
• Lift the electronics out of the housing.
• Unplug the sensor harness from the bottom electronics board.
2. Install the module housing onto the end of the supply conduit and/or bolt into position as required.
Note
If housing grounding is required for the installation a grounding lug is located under the two printed circuit assemblies in the housing. Install the ground wire under the green lug. Figure 3-5
3. Connect the three wires which run from the controller to the three position terminal strip on the bottom of the electronics assembly. See Table 3-3 for terminal markings and normal wiring color code conventions. Figure 3-7 shows the correct wiring connections and the operation of the connector mechanism.

Sentry Enclosure Options
3.5.2 CONTROLLER MOUNTING
3.5.2.1 RACK MOUNTED CONTROLLER
The instrument rack should be installed in a 19" electronic cabinet at eye level. Care should be taken to avoid heat from other instruments under the controller.
3.5.2.2 CHASSIS MOUNTED CONTROLLER
The chassis mounted controller is provided with a preinstalled bezel and a template for the chassis cut-out. An angle bracket is also provided to support the cantilever of the controller. Select an appropriate location at approximately eye level providing rear access for the module and alarm wiring.
3.5.2.3 WALL MOUNTED CONTROLLER
The wall mounted controller is provided on a sheet metal panel containing brackets which allow for removal of the controller. Select a location, where module and alarm wiring can be run up or down the wall for distribution, and bolt the panel to the wall.
3.5.2.4 NEMA ENCLOSED CONTROLLER
Mount the NEMA enclosed controller on a vertical surface with the display at approximately eye level. Mounting feet are supplied with the enclosure for external mounting bolts. Figure 1-3. Although the enclosure is designed for exposure to weather, normal measures to protect the system from harsh conditions are recommended. It is particularly important to avoid exposure of the display to direct sunlight as this can cause fading of the display during very hot weather.
3.5.2.5 WIRING CONNECTIONS
Channel wiring connections at the controller (except
NEMA-4X) and at the module are made using a quick connect terminal strip. Figure 3-7. The terminal can be operated using an actuator (supplied in the system accessory bag) or by pressing a small screwdriver into the actuator slot.
It is important to understand that, because of multiplexed communication, there is a difference between "channel" numbers and "module" numbers. Channels are the physical connectors at the controller. Module numbers are the switched addresses on each module. More than one module number may be installed on a channel, up to a maximum of four modules.
NOTE
Installation and wiring must be in accordance with the
National Electrical Code
Make the following connections at the controller.:
• Attach the three wires for each channel to separate channel connectors on the terminal strip marked CH1 through CH8. The sequence should exactly match that at the sensor assembly. (Typical: White 1,
Black 2, Green 3.)
INSTALLATION
Page: 19
SMC sierra monitor corporation Sentry Instruction Manual - Version 6
• Connect the necessary remote audible and visual alarms or other process control equipment to the
"HIGH", "LOW" and "TROUBLE" dry contact relays on the connector panel.
The Double Pole/Double Throw (DPDT) relay connections are marked to indicate Normally Open
(N/O) , Normally Closed (N/C) and Common (COM) terminals for each pole. No voltage is applied to the terminals internally.
Typical wiring configuration is described in Figure
3-11. The trouble relay is fail safe so that it will switch from Normally Closed to Normally Open if all system power is lost.
NOTE
It may be preferably to delay wiring the alarms, or delay powering them, until the detection system has been fully activated, tested and calibrated.
Connect 120 volts AC wiring to the terminals marked Hot
(black), Neutral (white), and Ground (Green).
If a 12-28 VDC supply is to be used as either back-up or as the primary operating voltage make the necessary connections to the terminal marked "DC INPUT 12 - 28V"
"+" (Red) & "-" (Black).
NOTE
When a battery is to be used for back-up DC supply only, a
Sentry feature provides protection against battery damage by shutting off the battery before complete discharge.
When this feature is used, the Sentry controller can only be restarted by AC voltage.
To implement the battery protection feature, two red jumper wires located on the power supply board must be cut. See Figure 7-3 .
If splice boxes are used to combine multiple modules on a channel the splice connections should be made using a terminal block/wire lug assembly or all wires should be soldered and insulated. Figure 3-5.
3.5.3 ALARM DEVICE INSTALLATION
Alarm devices must be installed according to the manufacturer's instructions for the particular device.
Sentry dry contact relays provide switching capability as rated in the specifications. (See Appendix A.)
NOTE
Certain warning strobes have a very high peak current which is dependent upon the phase angle of the AC line at the precise moment the strobe is switched on. A high current at the time of switching may cause the relay contacts to stick together.
The corrective action to avoid contacts sticking together is to install a 10 Ohm, 5 Watt resistor in series with the strobe power, preferably close to the relay.
3.5.4 RELAY OUTPUTS
Three relays on the standard Sentry controller are for: high alarm, low alarm and trouble. The trouble relay is normally energized (power applied to coil). The gas alarm relays (high and low) are normally not energized.
Individual low and high alarm relays are optional hardware.

Typical Protection Circuit
The relays are dry contact and may be used to actuate bells, lights, sirens, solenoid valves, or contactors as required. It is recommended that for 120 VAC circuits a metal oxide varistor (MOV) rated for 150 Vrms be place across the load (Figure 3-1). (General Electric
V150LA20A or equivalent). For DC circuits a general purpose rectifier diode should be placed across the load
(1N4005).
3.5.5 DC POWER LOAD
Table 3-7 is provided to allow correct sizing of battery back-up. To determine total load add the applicable individual loads. (All measurements are at 12 VDC.)

SMC sierra monitor corporation Sentry Instruction Manual - Version 6
3.5.6 POWER UP
Systems shipped complete from the factory are preconfigured and calibrated. When power is turned on the power light will start flashing and the alpha-numeric display will indicate "SYSTEM WARM-UP" "PLEASE WAIT
MM:SS" (where MM:SS is a five minute count-down clock). When the warm-up ends the two displays will begin functioning in the "continuous scan" mode which is described in the next chapter. The large display will cycle through each module number for any modules which have been installed.
If modules have been added to the system since it was factory configured, those modules will have a blank (“—“) concentration display and the lower display will show the module type and units with "FACTOR MISSING" or
"UNCALIBRATED" messages.
If the display indicates module numbers which match the numbers used in installation, the wiring is correct and module configuration can begin. If any number is omitted the controller is not recognizing that module and the wiring should be checked for errors (the system will display "NO MODULE" when any attempt is made to obtain information on that module).
If the controller does not recognize any modules the display will read
"NO MODULES INSTALLED".
NOTE
On 2 and 4 Channel systems any module set with a number higher than four will cause the lower display to indicate "MODULE # MUST BE 1 THROUGH 4" and the upper display to display "#E --" (where # = the erroneous module number).
3.5.7 POWER DOWN
If it is necessary to remove the power all operator configured data and parameters will be saved by Sentry. (It is important to turn off the main power prior to disconnection of any module wiring because while under power Sentry will interpret certain changes as errors.)

4.1 INTRODUCTION
T E S T
R E S E T
M O D E
T IM E E N T E R
Sentry is operated via the seven keys on the front panel.
Operation includes initial set-up, periodic calibration, recall of history, and changes to configuration.
Certain procedure and message conventions are used to provide consistency. A knowledge of these conventions will aid in understanding of the set-up and operation steps.
The UP and DOWN arrow keys change information displayed on the alpha-numeric (lower) display. Changes made by using the arrows are not "implemented" until the
ENTER key is pressed.
The ENTER key is used to access the selected activity or to enter selected data or status information into the controller memory.
When any of the four activity keys
TEST
,
RESET
,
TIME
,
MODE are depressed the SENSOR / LEVEL display is cleared and the activity information is displayed on the alpha-numeric display.
The messages PRESS ENTER TO or ENTER TO indicate that the selected activity can be accessed via the ENTER key.
The message USE ARROWS / ENTER indicates that module numbers or other variables can be changed with the arrows prior to entering the activity with the ENTER key.
The message PRESENT CONFIG is used in system responses during CHECK activities. Variables displayed as
PRESENT CONFIG
can be changed via the
CHANGE mode.
Positive response messages such as SYSTEM RESET
COMPLETE are displayed for 1.5 seconds to confirm that the activity has been completed.
Activity names are displayed bracketed by "<" and ">" signs.
Normal operation is the condition where the change and calibrate light is off and the display cycles continuously between all active module numbers.
CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE
Page: 33
If the ENTER key is pressed once during normal operation the display locks onto the current module number and can be advanced using the UP and DOWN arrow keys. When the display is locked onto one module number the gas type and units display is shown in round parenthesis “( )”.
If any module is force calibrated, the gas type and units display for that module number is shown in square parenthesis “[ ]”.
The message USE ARROWS/ENTER indicates that the arrows can be used to change the module number or other data on the second line and the ENTER can be used to access the selected activity or module number.
Successive presses of any one of the four activity keys will cycle through each option available and will return the system to the normal operating mode..
When any activity key cycle has been started and not completed the remaining activity keys are disabled except that the RESET key can be used to return the system to normal OPERATE mode.
When the system is in the CHANGE mode the CALIBRATE
OR CHANGE light is ON.

SMC sierra monitor corporation Sentry Instruction Manual - Version 6
5.1 SENTRY CALIBRATION - AN OVERVIEW
Calibration is a simple three step process:
1. Initiate calibration via the controller keyboard.
2. Apply zero gas (if required) and then span gas to the sensors.
3. Close the calibration via the controller keyboard.
Calibration parameters are configured via the CHANGE
CALIB activity and are saved by Sentry for future calibrations.
During calibration Sentry "peak holds" the sensor signal output for zero and span gas and then uses those values to construct a curve for continuous reference during normal gas monitoring.
There are two alternative calibration methods, Global
Calibration and Local Calibration.
5.1.1 GLOBAL CALIBRATION
When Global Calibration is selected, the Sentry controller collects zero and span value data from all sensor modules eligible for calibration based on a global keyboard command. It is not necessary to calibrate all the sensors, those which do not receive span gas will be rejected automatically.
The operator presses the ENTER key to initiate, and complete, collection of the zero value and then the span value. Calibration gas may be delivered to the sensor module in a variety of methods dependent upon the accessibility of the sensor.
The benefits of Global Calibration are:
• Magnetic calibration head not required.
• All "zero's" can be set at one time.
Global Calibration is particularly useful when:
• The sensor is in a position which is difficult to access, because a calibration gas delivery tube can be installed to a more accessible location.
• The magnetic head is not available or the magnetic switch in one of the sensors is not functioning.
5.1.2 LOCAL CALIBRATION
When Global Calibration is turned off, the Sentry controller collects zero and span value data from each sensor module eligible for calibration based on a local command at the module.
Calibration gas is delivered through a magnetic fitting which causes a switch in the sensor to command the controller to remember the module output. The procedure calls for the magnetic cap to be applied twice (zero first, span second) except that the magnet is applied only once for oxygen modules.
The benefits of Local Calibration are:
5. CALIBRATION
• Individual modules can be calibrated while others remain on line.
• Time savings when sensors must be exposed to zero air due to the environment.
Local Calibration is particularly useful when:
• Plant operating procedures demand that some modules remain on line while others are being calibrated.
5.2 CALIBRATION INITIALIZATION
5.2.1 MODULES
Before any module can be calibrated it must be initialized via the CHANGE MODULE activity. Initialization includes turning the module on, setting the alarm levels and setting the factor(s). This activity is described in step by step form in
Section 4.3 steps 6 through 18. If a module is not initialized, an error prompt INITIALIZE MODULES FIRST will display when calibration is attempted.
NOTE
The following calibration instructions are applicable to controllers with version 6.xx firmware. For earlier version firmware (example 4.2) refer to the Instruction
Manual furnished with that controller. To determine the firmware version installed in any Sentry controller, press
TEST , ENTER and observe the firmware version number on the lower LCD screen.
NOTE
If any sensors are not previously calibrated use
Diagnostic Code 0020 or 0021 to force calibration prior to performing the normal calibration procedure. See
Section 8.3.5.

6. MAINTENANCE
6.1 MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The following are the manufacturer’s recommendations for periodic maintenance of the Sentry system:
1 CALIBRATION : All sensors should be calibrated at a minimum of every 90 days.
NOTE
FMRC approved combustible gas sensors are required to be calibrated every 90 days.
2 BATTERY REPLACEMENT : The lithium battery for memory retention should be replaced every two years. (See Service)
3 DUST AND DIRT CONTROL : When calibration is performed the controller and the modules should be checked visually to determine if dust or dirt build up needs to be removed. This cleaning should be done with dry instruments such as compressed air, cloth wipes or whisk broom.
4 WIRING OR CABLE CONDITIONS : Any wiring or cables which are not conduited should be checked once a year for damage to insulation or corrosion of splice or terminal points.
5 LUBRICATION : Lubricate metal to metal parts
(module lid) periodically.

7.2 CONTROLLER
7.2.1 MECHANICAL/FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The controller consists of four sub assemblies. Figure 7-1.
7.2.1.1 CONNECTOR PANEL
The Back Panel contains all the connectors for providing system power, powering and communicating with the modules, operating alarm devices and communicating with a printer. The panel also contains the AC fuse.
The connector panel contains, internally, an edge card connector which connects the main control card.
To remove the panel from the controller unscrew the four corner screws and gently slide the edge connector apart.
This procedure allows the controller to be removed for repair without disconnecting all the wiring from the connector panel.
Except for the AC fuse there are no field repairable components on the connector panel.
7.2.1.2 POWER SUPPLY ASSEMBLY:
The power supply assembly includes the transformer which is installed on the bottom plate of the controller and the power supply board which is "piggy backed" to the main control board. To gain access to the power supply board remove the six screws which hold the perforated side panel on the left side of the controller and slide the panel off toward the connector panel.
The power supply board provides various DC voltages for system operation and is described in Section 7.2.2
To remove the power supply board unplug the large inline harness connector, remove the four nuts from the corners of the board, and lift the board off the multi-pin connectors which interface the power supply to the main control board.
7.2.1.3 MAIN CONTROL BOARD
The main control board assembly is a printed circuit board which connects to the connector panel and the power supply as described above and to the front panel via a ribbon cable. To access the component side of the board remove the perforated side panel on the right side of the controller.
Field repairs to the main control board involve socketed component replacement only. Board removal is not required for these repairs.
SERVICE
Page: 58
7.2.1.4 FRONT PANEL he front panel assembly contains the membrane panel, the two displays and the indicator lights (LED's). A ribbon cable connection to the main control card is the only electrical connection to the panel.
Access to the lower display angle adjustment is by removal of the left side panel.
7.2.2 ELECTRICAL DESCRIPTION
7.2.2.1 POWER SUPPLY DESCRIPTION
The controller power supply is configured to accept 120
VAC and/or 12 VDC. See specifications Section 8.1 for specific requirements.
The controller can also accept +10 to +29 VDC. If both
AC and DC supplies are connected and the AC drops below 90 VAC the system will operate on DC until that supply drops below 10.5 VDC. At that time the controller will reset.
The power supply provides a regulated +24 to +26 volts for the channel regulators, +5 volts for the main control card and front panel board, and +15 & -12 volts for the main control card. A 1 Amp (120 VAC) or .5 Amp (220
VAC) slo-blow fuse protects the AC input power. Check the fuse on the connector panel if the power light is off. -
Figure 3-9
The power supply is protected by an over-voltage transient protector (MOV), an EMI/RFI line filter and
Zener transient protectors.
The following are symptoms of power supply failure.
Figure 7-3.
1. No +24 volts: no modules recognized by the system.
Action: check the fuse on the connector panel, check that the 9 pin in-line connector is fully seated. If the +24 volts is still absent, replace the power supply board.
(The failed board can be factory repaired.)
2. No +5 volts: no lights or displays on the front panel.
Action: check fuse F1 on power supply board.
3. No +15 volts: no modules recognized by the system
& no bottom display.
Action: replace power supply board.
4. No -12 volts: no lower display and/or no modules recognized, no printing and no alarm functions.
Action: replace power supply board.
5. No +12 volts with battery back-up: no lights on front panel.
SMC sierra monitor corporation Sentry Instruction Manual - Version 6
Action: check fuse F2 on power supply board. If power supply jumpers have been cut, cold start requires 110
VAC.
7.2.2.2 POWER SUPPLY ADJUSTMENTS
The +24 volts can be measured at TP1 or TP2 (Test Point 1 or 2) with respect to ground (GT1). Figure 7-3. If there is no
+24 volts and replace fuse F1
The +5 volts can be measured at TP4 If there is no +5 volts check and replace fuse F3.
The +15 volts can be measured at TP5.
The -12 volts can be measured at TP7
7.2.2.3 LITHIUM BATTERY
The lithium battery which is located on the main control board, Figure 7-2, looks like a large coin and is mounted in a round battery holder with a metal retaining clip. Typical battery voltage should be 3.0 volts and can be measured by connecting the negative lead of the meter to Ground Test 1
(GT1) on the main control board, and the positive lead to the shoulder of the battery holder arm. The voltage should be greater than +2.2 volts or the battery should be replaced. To remove the battery (use Panasonic BR2325 or equal) use a nonmetallic probe to carefully lift the metal clip and push the battery to one side.
It is advisable to increase the tension on both the positive and negative contacts before installing the new battery. To do this slide an insulator between the contacts and use a small screwdriver to lift the lower contact up and push the upper contact down. Install the new battery with the positive terminal ("+") facing up. The insulator is important to avoid shorting the two terminals as this will erase the data accumulated in RAM.
Battery replacement is necessary when the REPLACE
BATTERY message appears on the lower display during normal operation. The controller memory of factors, calibration and history will be retained for a period of several minutes during battery replacement.
7.2.2.4 EPROM'S
There is one EPROM located on the main control board.
Figure 7-2. The EPROM can be identified by the white label on the window. The EPROM stores all the software for
Sentry. The EPROM needs replacement when the user wishes to upgrade to additional options or when a factory upgrade is issued for the system. The following precautions must be exercised when replacing the EPROM:
• EPROM’
S are sensitive to static discharge and extreme care must be used in their handling. The technician should be grounded before picking up or installing EPROM’ S .
SERVICE
Page: 59
• Always remove power to the controller before removing or installing EPROM’ S .
• Before installing check each EPROM for bent pins.
• Insure that pin orientation is correct, pin 1 toward center of controller.
• After installation clear RAM using diagnostic code
0099. (See Section 8.3.5)
• If there is a problem with the EPROM, the display will read an "E-01" error. This is usually a result of an improperly installed EPROM.
7.2.2.5 CHANNEL VOLTAGE
There are eight regulated power supplies on the main control board. The regulators supply power to the module channels.
The voltages which can be measured between the power and ground connectors of any channel should be between +20.5 and +19.0 volts with no sensor modules connected to any channel. If the channel voltage is greater than +21 volts that channel should not be used.
7.2.2.6 ALPHANUMERIC DISPLAY ANGLE
ADJUSTMENT
The alphanumeric display is the lower display on the front panel. The viewing angle can be altered via the display angle adjustment potentiometer located on the side of the display panel. To access the adjustment slide the left panel back and use a small screwdriver on the only visible potentiometer on the front panel assembly.
7.2.2.7 RELAY REPLACEMENT
The three socketed DPDT 3 Amp dry contact relays are on the main control board Figure 7-2. The relay function can be tested using the TEST ALARMS function of the controller which causes each relay to throw during the time the respective display is indicated on the front panel.
It is important that replacement relays be installed in the same orientation; pin 1 of the relay must line up with pin 1 of the socket.

7.3 COMMUNICATIONS
7.3.1 DESCRIPTION OF COMMUNICATIONS
The Sentry controller scans each channel in turn taking less than one second to scan all channels. At each channel:
1. A "reset" signal is sent out to clear all module communications.
2. An address (which is a module number) is sent out and the controller waits for a response. The response is a digital frequency which is proportional to the first of eight parameters which are interrogated by the controller.
3. Because the controller received an answer and knows that the particular module is on that channel it continues to interrogate that module to retrieve the remaining seven parameters before moving to the next module number.
Sentry Instruction Manual - Version 6
The eight (total) signals are:
•
•
Value of Ground.
Value of sensor signal (relates to gas concentration).
•
Heater voltage (Type 1 Module) or
Bridge Voltage (Type 2 Module).
•
Heater current (Type 1 Module) or
Bridge Current (Type 2 Module).
•
Sensor type (Type 1 through 4
Modules).
•
•
•
Calibration switch condition on/off.
Module voltage (tests line drop from controller to module).
Reference voltage (used together with ground to ratiometrically compensate for any temperature drift in module components)
The controller interprets the information received during the polling and takes actions as necessary. (Any deviation from normal is rapidly validated to avoid errors due to electrical noise.) The information, combined with continual system diagnostics allows the controller to accurately determine abnormal conditions. Table 7-1 provides a categorized listing of Sentry messages.

7.3.2 WARNING AND ERROR MESSAGES
7.3.2.1 SYSTEM ERRORS
If Sentry cannot operate the basic computer functions one of the System Errors listed in Table 7-1 will display.
These failures indicate internal controller problems which are most likely to require board level repairs by the factory.
7.3.2.2 TROUBLE CONDITIONS
The following "Trouble Conditions" require operator corrective action.
DISCONNECTED : The controller is not able to communicate with the module
CHECK POWER ADJ A hydrogen sulfide sensor heater is not functioning. Current drops to zero or voltage increases to maximum.
MODULE VOLT LOW The module voltage is too low
(<11.5V). This indicates there is an excessive drop in the line from the controller to the module.
SENSOR FAILURE Sensor signal voltage is out of limits.
DUPLICATE MODULE A response to one address number has been received on two channels.
CHK BRIDGE VOLTAGE The bridge voltage on a combustible sensor is out of limits.
TYPE ERROR The module which responded is a different type than previous response.
When any of these conditions are identified the controller:
• activates the trouble relay and trouble light
• displays an "
E -” beside the corresponding module number (i.e.: "1E --" )
• describes the error condition on the lower display, and
• logs the error in history memory for later recall via the keyboard or printer.
NOTE
Trouble conditions logged into memory are erased by the
Reset System command. All other erasable History is cleared by the Reset History command.
SERVICE
Page: 64
All other modules on the channel and modules on other channels remain in full operation and continue to be scanned by the controller. If the problem is corrected, the trouble light and relay will turn off and the module will be brought back on line after a warm-up period.
7.3.2.3 WARNING AND STATUS
The warning and status messages are displayed when valid and do not log to history.
7.3.3 WARM-UP TIMERS
Three “timers” are used by Sentry to delay bringing the system or parts of the system on-line during a stabilization period. These timers can be cleared via the diagnostic code “0000” described in Appendix C.
•
SYSTEM WARM-UP: After any loss of power
(AC & DC) Sentry will count down a five minute system warm-up. During this period the modules will be under power but will not be displayed, nor will their output be used to determine a gas concentration.
•
MODULE WARM-UP: Any module which has been disconnected, or has just been
“recognized” by the controller will be held in a module warm-up delay for a period of five minutes before being displayed as “on line”.
•
CALIBRATION DELAY: Immediately after calibration each module is held in a calibration delay which is similar to the module warm-up.
Although the controller display indicates
CALIBRATION COMPLETE/PLEASE WAIT if the system is reset, each applicable module will be indicated as MODULE WARM-UP.
7.3.4 ACCESS CODES
Sentry software allows users to establish user codes which restrict access by unauthorized users to critical parameters or functions. (See Section 8.3).
7.3.5 DIAGNOSTIC CODES
Diagnostic codes allow the technician to use the system software to collect diagnostic data for use in system check-out. Diagnostic code assignment is described in
Section 8.3.5.

7.4 HYDROGEN SULFIDE MODULE (5100-01)
7.4.1 DESCRIPTION
The Hydrogen Sulfide Sensor Module includes the sensor and electronic assembly installed in an explosion proof housing. The sensor screws into one hub of the enclosure and plugs into the bottom electronics card via a six pin connector.
Cabling to the controller connects to a three pin spring loaded terminal strip.
When a sensor is changed it is important that the factors for the new sensor are keyed into the controller and that a 24 hour stabilization period elapses prior to voltage adjustments and calibration. The three factors, each three digits are written on the sensor connector label.
7.4.2 TROUBLE ANALYSIS
Electrical adjustment, or replacement of the sensor will be necessary under the following conditions:
• Controller displays the error messages:
CHECK POWER ADJ
SENSOR FAILURE
LOW SENSITIVITY
• False readings or alarms are received due to sensor inaccuracy.
Warning: During sensor adjustments the concentration reading on the controller will be inaccurate and alarm level concentrations may be displayed. If false activation of the alarm relays will cause a problem disconnect the relay wiring prior to adjustment or turn the module off using the CHANGE MODULE mode.
Note:
Although all the necessary data can be collected with a voltmeter at the sensor module, some helpful information can be displayed or printed. See diagnostic codes 0004 and 0008, Appendix C.
7.4.3 ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Prior to reading voltages and making adjustments perform a visual inspection to confirm that there are no physical problems such as water in the electronics enclosure, wiring damage or corrosion.
Use Figure 7-5 to locate test points during the following procedures.
Figure 7-5
Cover Plate - Hydrogen Sulfide Sensor Module
7.4.3.1 POWER ADJUSTMENT
Comparing to the GND (ground) test point measure the
HEATER VOL (heater voltage) and the HEATER CUR
(heater current) values in VDC. Calculate the power by the formula: (HEATER CUR - HEATER VOL) * HEATER
VOL / 5.1
. The correct value is 400Mw +/- 5 Mw. (Note that this calculation is performed by the controller and displayed using diagnostic code 0004.) See Table 7-4 for corresponding voltage and current settings.
Adjust the heater power using HEATER ADJ potentiometer, turn clockwise to decrease, counterclockwise to increase the power. Make the adjustments
1/4 turn at a time and wait for the values to stabilize before making successive adjustments.
7.4.3.2 MODULE ADJUSTMENT
Compare ground to SIGNAL OUT to read the module voltage. The beginning (no gas) value must be above 1.2
VDC and can be up to 7.5 VDC. If the no gas voltage is lower than 1.2 VDC adjust using
RANGE ADJ potentiometer.
SERVICE
Page: 66
SMC sierra monitor corporation Sentry Instruction Manual - Version 6
To adjust the sensitivity apply 20 ppm hydrogen sulfide for five minutes for full stabilization. (Check that the voltage drops by at least .3 volts during this time.) Adjust the signal out value to .6 VDC using the range adjust potentiometer. Remove gas and verify that the voltage climbs to above 1.0 VDC in five minutes.
7.4.4 SENSOR REPLACEMENT
3. Calibration switch (green wires) should be open in normal operation and should close when the calibration magnet is applied.
If the sensor fails any of these tests it should be replaced.
If the sensor passes these tests the electronics are suspect and BOTH the sensor and electronics should be replaced.
(The failed components should be returned to the factory for evaluation).
If either of the above adjustments cannot be completed successfully the sensor and/or electronics will require replacement. To check the sensor unplug it from the electronics and remove from the housing so that continuity and resistance tests can be made. Table 7-3 provides the pin out for the sensor assembly.
When a new sensor is installed the following actions should be taken:
1. Input new factors into controller. The factors are written onto the sensor connector label. (Three numbers: ###-###-###)

7.5 COMBUSTIBLE GAS SENSOR MODULE
(5100-02)
7.5.1 DESCRIPTION
The Combustible Gas Module includes the sensor and electronic assembly installed in an explosion proof housing. The sensor screws into one hub of the enclosure and plugs into the bottom electronics card via a six pin connector. Cabling to the controller connects to a three pin spring loaded terminal strip.
7.5.2 TROUBLE ANALYSIS
Electrical adjustment, or replacement of the sensor will be necessary under the following conditions:
• Controller displays the following error messages:
CHK BRIDGE VOLT
SENSOR FAILURE
LOW SENSITIVITY
• False readings or alarms are received due to sensor inaccuracy.
Warning: : During sensor adjustments the concentration reading on the controller will be inaccurate and alarm level concentrations may be displayed. If false activation of the alarm relays will cause a problem disconnect the relay wiring prior to adjustment or turn the module off using the
CHANGE MODULE mode.
NOTE
Although all the necessary data can be collected with a voltmeter at the sensor module, some helpful information can be displayed or printed. See diagnostic codes 0004 and 0008 in Appendix C.
7.5.3 ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Prior to reading voltages and making adjustments perform a visual inspection to confirm that there are no physical problems such as water in the electronics enclosure, wiring damage or corrosion.
Use Figure 7-6 to locate test points during the following procedures:
Caution: The area must be free of flammable vapors or gases during any adjustments or maintenance procedures.
7.5.3.1 BRIDGE VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
Confirm that no combustible gas is present and remove sensor module cover.
Sentry Instruction Manual - Version 6
Figure 7-6
Cover Plate - Combustible Gas Module
Comparing to the "GND" (ground) test point measure
"BRIDGE VOL" (bridge voltage) and adjust to 2.00 VDC using "BRIDGE ADJ" potentiometer. Turn counterclockwise to increase.
7.5.3.2 ZERO ADJUSTMENT
Comparing to ground measure SIGNAL OUT and adjust to
0.18 VDC by turning ZERO ADJ potentiometer. Turn counter clock-wise to increase.
7.5.3.3 SPAN ADJUSTMENT
1. Determine the concentration of the calibration gas (CG) in % LEL.
2. Use the following formula to determine the response to the calibration gas at SIGNAL OUT .
Voltage (Signal Out) = (CG+12)/60
For Example:
If CG = 50% L.E.L
Signal Out = (50+12)/60
= 1.03 volts
SERVICE
Page: 69
SMC sierra monitor corporation Sentry Instruction Manual - Version 6
3. Using a Sierra Monitor Model 1200-26 Gas
Calibrator with a Sierra Monitor Model 5358-
00 calibration adapter, or Model 5360 Gas
Delivery Fitting. Apply the calibration gas at a flow rate of 100 cc/min. until the signal out voltage stops changing (approx. 2 minutes).
Then adjust span adj. potentiometer to the calculated value.
4. Remove the calibration gas and wait for the voltage to drop. If the voltage is below 0.30
VDC the procedure is complete. If the voltage is above 0.30 VDC repeat the zero and span adjustments.
5. Calibrate the sensor using the instruction manual procedure.
• A
LOW SENSITIVITY message during calibration indicates one of the two conditions for a combustible sensor:
• The zero gas voltage must be less than
.3 volts.
• The new span change (span voltage less zero voltage) must exceed 30% of the calculated span change.
For Example:
Zero gas voltage = .20 VDC
Span voltage = .43 VDC
Span change is .43-.2 = .23 VDC
As the calculated span value (from step 5 above) is 1.03, the calculated span change is: 1.03-.2 = .87
By calculation: 30% of .87 = .26
The new span change (.23) is less than
30% of the calculated span change so a
LOW SENSITIVITY
message will be displayed.
The LOW SENSITIVITY calculation is made to insure that the calibration does not adjust the electronics so that the
"gain" is large enough to cause false alarms due to minor drift or due to minimal electronic noise.
7.5.4 SENSOR REPLACEMENT
If any of the above adjustments cannot be completed successfully the sensor and/or electronics will require replacement.

1. Detector element resistance should be between 1.5 to
2 ohms.
2. Compensator element resistance should be between
1.5 to 2 ohms.
3. Calibration switch should be open in normal operation and should close when the calibration magnet is applied.
If the sensor fails any of these tests it should be replaced.
If the sensor passes these tests the electronics are suspect and BOTH the sensor and electronics should be replaced.
(The electronics and sensor which are removed should be returned to the factory for evaluation).
When a new sensor is installed the following actions must be taken:
• Make the bridge voltage adjustment immediately to avoid over-voltage damage to the sensor.
• Use diagnostic code 0020 to establish nominal value calibration.
• Allow 24 hours for full stabilization of the sensor, recheck the zero and span adjustments and calibrate the sensor module.

The Oxygen Module includes the electronic assembly installed in an explosion proof housing and the electrochemical sensor connected to one hub of the enclosure. Cabling from the controller connects to a three pin spring loaded terminal strip.
7.6.2 TROUBLE ANALYSIS
Electrical adjustment, or replacement of the sensor will be necessary under the following conditions:
• Controller displays the following error messages:
CHANGE SENSOR
SENSOR FAILURE
REPLACE SENSOR
• False readings or alarms are received due to sensor inaccuracy. concentration reading on the controller will be inaccurate and alarm level concentrations may be displayed. If false activation of the alarm relays will cause a problem disconnect the relay wiring prior to adjustment or turn the module off using the "Change Module" mode.
NOTE
Although all the necessary data can be collected with a voltmeter at the sensor module, some helpful information can be displayed on the controller or printed. See diagnostic codes 0004 and 0008 in Appendix C.
7.6.3 ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Prior to reading voltages and making adjustments perform a visual inspection to confirm that there are no physical problems such as water in the electronics enclosure, wiring damage or corrosion.
Use Figure 7-7 to locate test points during the following procedures.
7.6.3.1 SIGNAL ADJUSTMENT
It is unlikely that any electrical adjustment will be required except when a new sensor is installed.
To make the electrical adjustment connect a voltmeter to
SIGNAL OUT (pos) and GND (ground) and use
SENSITIVITY ADJ potentiometer to set the voltage equal to
1/10 of the actual oxygen concentration. In clean air the concentration is 20.9% so the voltage should be set at
2.09 VDC.

Cover Plate - Oxygen Module
7.6.4 SENSOR REPLACEMENT
The oxygen sensor should be replaced when it can no longer be calibrated correctly or when the signal output drops to zero. Generally this is every twelve to eighteen months. The Sentry clock keeps track of the age of the sensor if it is correctly initialized in the "change module" mode.
When a new sensor is installed use the CHANGE MODULE menu selection to answer yes to the "new sensor?" question. After nine months the CHANGE SENSOR message will be displayed to warn that a new sensor should be installed.
The SENSOR FAILURE message for Oxygen sensors does not indicate a specific failure of the sensor but indicates that the sensor is not correctly connected to the electronics. If this message appears check that the sensor harness is correctly installed to the connector on the bottom electronics board.
When sensor replacement is required, open the cover of the sensor module, remove the transmitter and disconnect the sensor wiring harness from the back of the transmitter.

8.5.2 CAPABILITY
Pre-formatted reports can be printed, via the RS232 port on the Sentry connector panel, directly from one controller to a printer or, via the Sentry Master (5355-00)
& Subordinate (5356-00) network system, from several controllers to one printer
8.5.3 REPORTS
8.5 APPENDIX E - INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRINTER SOFTWARE OPTION
8.5.1 IDENTIFICATION
Sentry systems configured with printer software (5387-
00) or printer network software (5388-00) can be identified by pressing the TIME key twice. Printer software is installed if the display reads PRINT HISTORY .
8.5.3.2 OPERATIONAL REPORTING
CALIBRATION REPORT : The calibration report prints automatically when a calibration has been completed.
The report indicates which gas type was calibrated, the gas concentration and the planned frequency of calibration. For each module the report lists the percent change during calibration, the peak concentration and the zero and span sensor voltages.
WARM START REPORT : At any time the system is warm started due to a power failure a report is generated to show the system software configuration, the result of an internal diagnostic sequence and the power down and power up dates and times.
8.5.3.1 DEMAND REPORTING
HISTORY REPORT : Selected via the TIME key. The
History Report lists the last time each significant event has occurred. This includes system power interruption, history reset, alarm and concentration information for each sensor, calibration time for each sensor and an error log.
SYSTEM REPORT : Selected via the TIME key. The
System Report lists all the system parameters including the software configuration of the system and for each module: on/off condition, calibration status, relay latching configuration, alarm levels, module type, the controller channel to which it is connected, and calibration conditions and factors. The System Report also lists the printer configuration.
STATUS REPORT : Selected via the TIME key. The Status
Report lists the module numbers with a letter indicating if a low alarm (L) or high alarm (H) condition exists. In addition to module number, the report lists the gas type and present concentration.
DIAGNOSTIC REPORT : Selected via the MODE key. The diagnostic report is part of the package of diagnostics described in 7.3.5 and Appendix B. The report lists the critical voltage conditions for each module and can be printed by selecting SET USER CODE and answering with user number 9 and entry code number 0010 .
8.5.3.3 PERIODIC REPORTING
Sentry can be configured to generate periodic reports to provide closed loop confirmation that the system is operating.
STATUS REPORT : Status report can be printed periodically from 1 to 23 hours or from 1 to 7 days. To configure the status report use the MODE key menu item
SET PRINTER . Turn the printer ON and set the period for the Status Report.
HISTORY REPORTS : At the time a periodic Status Report is printed, a History Report can also be printed. The
History report is described above in Demand Reporting.
In the SET PRINTER routine answer the question "Print
History" Y to cause the report to be generated immediately following every Status Report. If the question is answered "yes" all history data will be reset each period.
DIAGNOSTIC REPORTS : The Diagnostic Report in
Demand Reporting can be selected to print periodically
(from 1 to 90 minutes). The user code for this selection is
"0008".
8.5.3.4 EVENT REPORTING:
EVENT REPORT : When any sensor reading exceeds a preset minimum level an event report is generated. After the sensor is above the minimum level any change greater than a preset change concentration will cause another
Event Report to print. The Event Report prints all module numbers and their present reading. Event Report parameters are set in the CHANGE PRINTER activity selection in the MODE key menu.
APPENDIX E - INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRINTER SOFTWARE OPTION
Page: 97
SMC sierra monitor corporation
8.5.3.5 REPORT FORMAT:
All printer reports begin with the controller ID# which is a single alpha identification set in the
CHANGE PRINTER activity. The reports also begin with the present system date and time.
All printer reports end with a line across the page.
This allows the user to confirm that the entire report has printed and helps with differentiation when more than one controller is printing to the same printer.
The periodic STATUS, KEY EVENT, and HISTORY reports are printed only when the printer is turned
ON in the CHANGE PRINTER activity. All other reports can be generated without setting the printer to ON .

Individual Relay Panels supplied with original Sentry shipments are factory pre-assembled with the controller.
For NEMA enclosures, the panel is fully installed prior to shipment. For other controllers minor final assembly is described below.
5. Make the necessary connections to the high and low relays for each of the modules as required for the particular application. Note that these are dry contact relays and that power must be connected from an external source.
8.6.4 OPERATION
Figure 8-2 shows the location of the sixteen relays which are marked as "high" and "low" alarms for the respective modules.
When any module connected to the controller is in alarm it's respective relay will be energized.
To operate alarms or other auxiliary equipment connect to the required relays according to the module number.
Several logic configurations are available:
• The user can configure each alarm as latching or non-latching via the CHANGE MODULE menu activity.
• A factory option available with the
Enhancement Package allows all high, or all low alarms, or both, to be configured for alarm acknowledge when latched.
• A factory option available with the
Enhancement Package allows alarm states to be combined into zones and voting groups for activation of individual relays.
Individual Relay Panels supplied as add-on to original
Sentry controllers require that the connector panel of the controller be removed so that threaded stand-offs
(supplied) can be installed onto the four corners of the panel.
Table 8-2 is helpful for determining the relay actions which will occur under various alarm conditions based on the user’s configuration.
To use the table:

The Model 4314-01 Output Expansion Panel extends
Sentry low and high alarm capability by providing individual single pole double throw (SPDT) dry contacts for each alarm level for each module, and also provides eight analog outputs for retransmission of the gas concentration values for each sensor. Model 4314-01 is an alternative option to Model 5392 and requires the firmware enhancement. The panel is designed to be installed as follows:
• Rack, Chassis and Wall Mount Controllers:
Mounted on stand-offs on the connector panel of the controller, or installed on the back of spare slots in 19” instrument shelf Model 5331-00.
• NEMA 4X Enclosure: Mounted on swinging connector panel beside the display panel.
6. Make the necessary connections to the HIGH and LOW relays for each of the Modules as required for the particular application. Note that these are dry contact relays and that power must be connected from an external source.
7. Make the necessary connections to the analog output terminals located across the lower side of the panel. The outputs are preconfigured for
4-20 mA proportional to the full scale of the corresponding input sensor module. The outputs can be forced high or low for test purposes by using diagnostic codes. See
Section 7.3.5
8.7.4 OPERATION
The panel connects to the Sentry controller via a ribbon cable and a two conductor wire harness.

INPUT MODULE
8.8.1 DESCRIPTION
The Analog Input Module is used to allow input to Sentry by a 4-20 mA analog device, such as an analog gas sensor or other type of sensing device.
The module has the same physical form as other
Sentry gas modules except that the sensor assembly in the lower hub is replaced by the user’s analog input device.
8.8.2 INSTALLATION
Figure 8-5 shows the terminal connections for the analog input module.
• Connect channel wiring (P S G) from the
Sentry controller to TB1 in the same manner as other sensor modules.
• For three wire analog input device:
⇒ Double up the power (P) on TB1 connection to provide 19 - 21 VDC to the analog input device.
⇒ Connect ground (G) and signal (S) on
TB2 to the corresponding terminals on the analog input device.
• For two wire analog input device:
⇒ Double up the power (P) on TB1 connection to provide 19 - 21 VDC to the analog input device.
⇒ Connect signal (S) on TB2 to the corresponding terminal on the analog input device.
8.8.3 ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Prior to reading voltages and making adjustments perform a visual inspection to confirm that there are no physical problems such as water in the electronics enclosure, wiring damage or corrosion.

8.8.3.2 CALIBRATION
To calibrate the combined Model 5100-99 and analog sensor input, follow the standard Sentry Global
Calibration instructions. See 5.3.1.1
8.8.3.1 SIGNAL ADJUSTMENT
The Model 5100-99 transmitter must be adjusted when a new analog input is connected. It is not necessary to perform periodic adjustment of the tranmitter, but normal calibration of the input should be perfomred according to manufacturer instructions.
To adjust the tranmitter:
1. Connect DVM to Signal Out and Ground test points on the cover plate.
2. Supply 4 mA from the sensor device and adjust
“Zero Adj” potentiometer until DVM reads 0.0 VDC.
3. Supply 20 mA from the sensor device and adjust
“Span Adj” potentiometer until DVM reads 2.0
VDC.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 on an iteration basis until step 2 requires no further adjustment.
