Warnings and Cautionary Statements

CAUTION: Failure to perform certain procedures or note certain conditions may impair the performance of the monitor. For maximum safety and performance, please read and follow the procedures and conditions outlined below.

Oxygen deficient atmospheres may cause combustible gas readings that use catalytic LEL sensors to be lower than actual concentrations.

Oxygen enriched atmospheres may cause combustible gas readings that use catalytic LEL sensors to be higher than actual concentrations.

Calibrate the catalytic combustible gas sensor after each incident where the combustible gas content causes the instrument to enter in the

OVER-RANGE alarm condition.

The catalytic and IR sensors are factory configured to accurately monitor the gas for which they are designated. It should be noted, however, that the LEL sensors WILL respond to other combustible gases and are not gas-specific.

Silicone compound vapors may affect the catalytic combustible gas sensor and cause readings of combustible gas to be lower than actual gas concentrations. If the sensor has been used in an area where silicone vapors were present, always calibrate the instrument before continued use to ensure accurate measurements.

Sensor openings must be kept clean. Obstruction of the sensor openings may cause readings to be lower than actual gas concentrations.

Sudden changes in atmospheric pressure may cause temporary fluctuations in the oxygen readings.

Alarms relays are non-latching.

When connecting 4-20 mA outputs to inductive loads, Industrial

Scientific - Oldham recommends using an isolation barrier in line with the 4-20 mA signal.

Interior grounding terminal is to be used for grounding, the exterior terminal is only to be used for bonding.

3

FOR IR SENSORS:

The output of the IR sensors can be disrupted by sudden changes in temperature. If there is an excessive change in the ambient temperatures, gas sample temperature or flow rate, then the output signal will be momentarily frozen. Correct operation is restored when the effects of the transient have settled. Rates of change in the ambient temperature should be restricted to 2 °C/minute and gas flow rates kept below 0.6 L/minute.

Extreme pressure variations will cause errors in readings. The unit should be recalibrated if the atmospheric pressure change is greater than 10% from the original pressure.

Do not expose the sensor to corrosive gases such as Hydrogen

Sulphide.

Do not allow condensation to occur inside the sensor.

CALIBRATION ALERT: Gas detection instruments are potential life-saving devices. Recognizing this fact, calibration for the toxic and catalytic LEL sensors should be at least at quarterly intervals, while the infrared sensor should be calibrated on an annual basis with function test every 6 months.

Further, Industrial Scientific - Oldham recommends prudent testing and/or includes calibration after a gas alarm. All calibration service to sensors should be recorded and accessible.

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

Chapter 1 | Overview

Overview of the

The fixed gas monitor is an independent monitor capable of displaying one or two gas concentrations as well as sensor or instrument specific diagnostics.

Gas Monitor

The comes standard with independent 4-20 mA outputs for each channel, making it ideal for interfacing to control units. A digital

ModBus RTU interface is also available, allowing the to interface to digital control systems.

The is available with an optional relay board, allowing the unit to directly control external devices such as fans, pumps, alarm horns, or warning lights. Two of the relays can be programmed for alarm activation, while the third relay is a fault protection relay. Calibration, changing span gas concentration, and checking the instrument’s configuration are easily accomplished using the nonintrusive magnetic wand.

The is powered with a 24

VDC (12-28 VDC) power supply and provides a 4-20 mA control signal for each sensor.

Figure 2-2 The Display (Dual-Gas Monitor Shown)

Inputs – Intrusive and Non-Intrusive

The gas monitor can be configured using intrusive and nonintrusive means. Both methods of configuration are accomplished through physical inputs that are visible behind the glass panel of the gas monitor.

A set of four keys are used when intrusive programming is appropriate (i.e., when the enclosure can be removed and when the keys can be manually pressed). These keys are the mode, increment (+), decrement (-), and enter

keys. Refer to Figure 2-3.

For applications that require non-intrusive manipulation, two magneticallyactivated reed switches are used to accomplish programming without removing the cover. A magnetic wand is positioned over the appropriate reed switch (above the glass face plate) without the wand physically touching the reed switches. The locations of the reed switches are shown in

Figure 2-3.

Power and Output Wiring

Sensor Wiring

Alarm Relay Wiring

ModBus Interface Wiring

Each of these steps is outlined in the sections that follow.

IMPORTANT: Perform all wiring in accordance with local electrical codes and local authorities having jurisdiction.

IMPORTANT: DC signal and AC power should not be run in the same conduit.

NOTE: All field wiring colors are arbitrary (unless provided by ISC).

Wiring Preparation

1. Collect the appropriate types and lengths of wire.

For control wire, use #18 AWG (0.9 mm²) insulated, shielded cable.

For analog signal and power wire, use three-conductor (or fourconductor for dual channel) #18 AWG (0.9 mm²) insulated and shielded cable.

For digital ModBus signal and power, use a minimum of fiveconductor #18 AWG (0.9 mm²) insulated and shielded cable.

2. Power down the unit.

3. Unthread the windowed top from the housing.

4. Gently pull out the electronics module and place it safely to the side

of the unit.

23

5. Thread control, signal, and power wires into the transmitter housing.

6. Shielding from either the controller or remote sensors should be

bonded to the enclosure screw located inside the .

IMPORTANT: Use of this product in areas where it may be subject to large amounts of electromagnetic interference may affect the reliable operation of this device and should be avoided.

WARNING: Supply wire with a minimum rating of 90°C must be used for interconnection to the .

NOTE: For classified locations, a “poured” wire seal must be installed within

18 inches (457mm) of the main unit for both power entry and remote sensors.

NOTE: Remove power from the connections.

before making any wiring

Alarm Relay Wiring (J1, J5, and J6)

To connect the control wires to the three relay terminals on the relay

board, wire the unit to the connectors shown in Figure 2-4. The low alarm

relay is activated when the low alarm threshold is met. This is a nonlatching, Normally Open (NO) contact. The high alarm relay is activated when the high alarm threshold is met. This is a non-latching, Normally Open

(NO) contact. The fault alarm relay is activated upon power-up of the

. When the fault condition is met, the circuit opens. This is an

Electronically closed (NC) contact. See Figure 4-1 for relay wiring.

NOTE: It is recommended that on-board relays should not be used to drive loads directly. On-board relays should be used to drive a secondary, higherpower relay which is connected to the control device (e.g., strobe, siren, exhaust fan, etc.).

Chapter 5 | Operation

Initial Start-up

Once power is applied (12-28 VDC), the is operational. The LED display powers up, and the system enters a start-up period. During this start-up period, the identifies the sensors that are connected and then enters a three minute warm-up period.

Warm-up Period

During this warm-up period, the 4 20 mA outputs are limited to 3 mA (16 mA for oxygen). After the three minute warm-up, the unit will enter the Normal Operating Mode. If during the warm-up period, the unit fails a self test, the display will show a fault code, and the fault relay will be activated. Fault codes are located

in Chapter 8 |.

Figure 5-1 Sample Fault Code Display

Normal Operating Mode

In Normal Operating Mode, the

gas monitor will display the instantaneous readings for each sensor wired into the unit. The top of the display shows the gas reading for Sensor 1. Sensor 1 should have the internal dip switches set to 00 hex or 0F hex.

The bottom row of the display shows the gas reading for

Sensor 2. Sensor 2 should have the internal dip switches set to F0 hex.

Figure 5-2 Sample Dual-Sensor Display

37

As gas concentrations increase, the respective channel’s readings will respond accordingly. If low or high alarm levels are exceeded, an alarm indication will appear in the first digit of the display. An “L” indicates a low alarm while an “H” indicates a high alarm. If a 4-20mA fault occurs, either a “P” indicating an open loop, or an “U” indicating 4-20 over-range will be present. From the Normal

Operating Mode, the can enter into the program mode in one of two ways.

Figure 5-3 Sample Low and High Alarm

Displays

To enter the Program Mode without opening the enclosure, pass over the embedded reed switch located under CH1 with the magnetic wand (see

Figure 5-4). This will enter you into the non-intrusive program mode.

In this mode you can check sensor type, zero the unit, calibrate the unit, change the span gas value, and view sensor span. With the enclosure top removed, Program Mode can be entered using the “MODE” key. The

available functions are listed in Chapter 8 | Troubleshooting.

38

Figure 5-4 Locations of Reed Switches and Push Buttons

Programming Mode Overview

NOTE: Zeroing and calibrating the instrument can be accomplished one of two ways via programming mode. Zeroing and calibrating (as well as other programming options) can be entered either from the keypad or nonintrusively using the magnetic wand. Refer to the sections and subsections within this chapter for detailed information.

When in the Programming Mode, either via the magnetic wand or keypad operation, the top line of the main display area shows a status bit and three

data bits. The bottom line of the display shows the timers (see Figure 5-5).

The decimals on the far right of each line of the display are channel indicators. The top decimal indicates channel 1 is being programmed, and the bottom decimal indicates channel 2.

ModBus Resources

ModBus is a public protocol that can be freely adopted by any developer or manufacturer desiring to implement it. While a detailed discussion of

ModBus protocol is beyond the scope of this manual, there are a number of up-to-date resources available on the internet for those wishing to investigate ModBus further. The most complete resource is www.modbus.org.

Termination

When putting devices on the ModBus network, a terminating resistor may be required for the last device on the network (please see www.modbus.org for more details). The has a blue jumper on the “public” jumper that can be used to jumper in a 120-Ohm terminating resistor. By default, this jumper is not in place. Industrial Scientific - Oldham does not recommend changing the placement of any of the other jumpers on this board.

Chapter 7 | Maintenance

Introduction

Sensors have a variable life dependent on the sensor and the environment in which they operate. Oxygen sensor life is about 2 years and toxic gas sensor life is normally 2 years or greater. The catalytic combustible gas sensors normally operate in excess of 3 years, while the infrared sensors have a MTBF greater than 5 years.

Sensors have baseline drift and their characteristics change with time. Thus, the must be calibrated on a regular basis. Gas detection instruments are potential life-saving devices. In recognition of this fact, calibration for the toxic and catalytic LEL sensors should be at least at quarterly intervals, while the Infrared sensor should be calibrated on an annual basis with functional tests every 6 months.

Further, Industrial Scientific - Oldham recommends prudent testing and/or calibration after a gas alarm. All calibration/service to the sensors should be recorded and accessible.

NOTE: Other than regular calibrations, the maintenance.

require no other routine

NOTE: Take special care with handling and storing sensors. They are delicate and can be damaged by storage in environments outside the specified temperature, pressure, and humidity limits.

NOTE: Sensors are susceptible to damage from high pressure or low pressure, especially if the change is sudden. Also, sensors should not be operated at pressures that are 10% above or below atmospheric pressure.

NOTE: If sensors and the surrounding environment must be washed down at any time, cover the opening of the sensor housing to protect it from water or excess moisture. Remove cover when wash down is complete. An optional splashguard is available for continuous protection.

61

Sensor Replacement

Sensor replacement must be done by qualified personnel. To replace the sensor, shut down power to the unit. Un-thread the sensor-housing cap from the sensor housing. There is a set screw that secures the cap to the housing. Once the cap is removed, remove the old sensor and sensor board.

When installing the new sensor/sensor board make sure you line up the notch in the board with the alignment pin. After the new sensor is in place, screw the sensor cap back on to the housing and secure the set screw.

Once the new sensor is in place and has time to settle out, it should be zeroed and calibrated for accuracy.

Zero and Calibration

Zeroing and calibrating the instrument can be accomplished one of two ways. These routines can be entered either from the keypad or non-

intrusively using the magnetic wand. See Chapter 5 | Operation for step-by-

step procedures for zeroing and calibrating the using the magnetic

wand. Chapter 5 | also contains information on keypad zeroing and

calibration.

Introduction

IMPORTANT: This portion of the instruction manual is only applicable if your unit has been shipped HART Enabled.

The fixed-point gas monitor is designed to provide continuous monitoring of hazardous gases in the workplace. The is capable of displaying one or two gas concentrations as well as sensor or instrument specific diagnostics.

The HART supported comes with a channel-1 4-20mA output equipped with standard FSK HART interface capability. The channel-1

HART output can be used to access the process variables on digital control systems or a HART handheld device can be used to access process variables of from anywhere in the 4-20mA loop as long as the handheld device is on the modem side of the 250 ohm load. parameterization can also be accomplished through HART interface.

Figure A - 1 HART Board

channel-2 has a standard 4-20mA output. is available with an optional relay board, allowing the device to directly control external devices such as fans, pumps, alarm horns, or warning lights. Also there are three onboard relays available; two of the relays can be programmed for alarm activation, while the third relay is a fault protection relay.

The is powered with a 24 VDC (12-28 VDC) power supply and provides a 4-20mA control signal for each sensor.

IMPORTANT:

In Chapter 4 |, the “Power and Output Wiring (J1)” section is

Power and Output Wiring (J1)

In most applications the power is supplied from the controller that is receiving the 4-20mA output. In these applications only three wires are required in case of single sensor unit and only four wires are required in case of dual sensor unit since common is shared.

If the 4-20mA output is going to another device other than the one that is powering it, or the transmitter has its own local power supply, another connection from GND must be extracted for the 4-20mA loop to function.

HART 4-20mA Wiring (CH-1)

CH-1 and GND on J1 connector are used as HART 4-20mA interface terminals. The HART 4-20mA output must be loaded with at least 250 ohms of impendence to properly establish the HART communication. Some devices receiving the 4-20mA output already have a large enough terminating resistor installed from the factory, but others may need additional resistance to be added. This is accomplished by adding a resistor in series with the output from HART board, preferably at the controller end of the 4-20mA current loop. Adding the additional resistor at the controller allows the HART handheld device to be connected anywhere in the loop, because it must have the full 250 ohm load after its connection point to function properly. If the additional resistor is added at the transmitter, in CH-

1, the HART handheld device will only be able to access variables locally, at the transmitter.

The Figure A - 7 shows a 150 ohm resistor added to the output loop since

the controller has a 100 ohm terminating resistor installed from the factory.

NOTE: Use supplied green conductor for enclosure ground.

NOTE: The is a 3- or 4-wire 4-20mA device. For dual sensor configuration you must have a second 4-20mA signal wire pulled to the unit.

NOTE: When not using isolated 4-20mA or HART 4-20mA outputs, use the supplied resistors to connect CH-1 and CH-2 to GND. If these resistors are not connected and the 4-20mA outputs are not used, a “P” will appear on the display, indicating an open loop condition.

Initial Start-up

The HART 4-20mA interface is disabled during the initial start-up after the is powered up.

During the initial start-up, the connected sensors are detected and initialized. The initial start-up mode lasts for approximately 45 seconds.

Figure A - 8 Main Unit Start-up Display

Warm-up Mode

After the initial start-up, the enters the warm-up mode which lasts for three minutes. During the warm-up mode, all gas reading related alarms are disabled, the current on the HART 4-20mA channel remains fixed at 3mA (16mA for oxygen sensor) and the HART interface is communication. enabled for

Normal Mode

After the warm-up mode, the enters the normal gas reading mode,

During the normal mode, all gas reading related alarms are enabled and the current on the HART 4-20mA channel linearly follows the sensor 1 gas reading between zero reading to measurement range with 4mA and

20mA being the corresponding current values. In case of an under range or an over range reading the channel current value is fixed at

Figure A - 9 Warm-up Display

1mA. HART interface is enabled throughout the normal mode.

Figure A - 10 Normal Mode Display

76

Calibration and Zeroing Modes

The enters the calibration or zeroing mode when the user selects the corresponding operation on sensor 1 through intrusive/nonintrusive programming screen or through HART 4-20mA interface.

During both of zeroing and calibration modes the HART channel current remains fixed at 3mA (16mA for oxygen sensor). A successful zeroing or calibration operation is followed by a warm-up mode and an unsuccessful operation is followed by a corresponding fault mode.

Figure A - 11 Calibration Display

HART interface is enabled throughout the zeroing and calibration modes.

Fault Mode

The enters the fault mode whenever it is not able to provide the gas reading to the user interface.

There are different types of sensor faults which have been listed in the

Table A - 2. The fault detection is enabled throughout the

operation after the device is powered on, and the fault codes are indicated on the display after the initial start-up mode.

During the fault mode on sensor 1 the HART 4-20mA channel current remains fixed at 1mA and HART interface is enabled throughout fault mode.

Open Loop Condition

When any of the 4-20mA channels is not being used it should be terminated by inserting the specifically provided (250 ohms for

HART CH-1 and 100 ohms for isolated CH-2) resistor between the respective channel output terminal and ground terminal.In case an unused channel is not terminated with the provided resistor, a ‘P’ will appear at the status bit indicating the open loop condition. Also in case the channel output is being used but one of the connecting wires is damaged or disconnected, same condition will be displayed to let the user know about the disconnection in the wiring. HART communication cannot be established with a physical disconnection under this condition.

Appendix F | Infrared Sensors

The methane IR sensor is only intended to monitor methane gas. As seen in

Figure F - 1, the cross-sensitivity of the methane IR sensor does not permit

accurate measure of other combustible gases. It should be noted however, that the methane-IR sensor WILL respond to other combustible gases and is not methane specific.

Figure F - 1 Cross-sensitivity chart for methane IR Sensor

101

The propane IR sensor is factory configured to accurately monitor propane

gas. As seen in Figure F - 2 the cross-sensitivity of the propane IR sensor

does permit accurate measure of other combustible gases via a crossreference factor. It should be noted however, that the propane-IR sensor

WILL respond to other combustible gases and is not propane specific.

Figure F - 2 Cross-sensitivity chart for Propane IR Sensor

The output of the IR sensor can be disrupted by sudden changes in temperature. If there is an excessive change in the ambient temperature, gas sample temperature or flow rate, then the output signal will be monmentarily frozen. Correct operation is restored when the effects of the transient have settled. Rates of change in the ambient temperature should be restricted to 2°C/minute and gas flow rates kept below 0.6 L/minute.

Extreme pressure variations will cause errors in readings. The unit should be recalibrated if the atmospheric pressure change is greater than 10% from the orignial pressure.

Example: The instrument has been calibrated on methane and is now reading 10% LEL in a pentane atmosphere. To find actual %LEL pentane, please multiply by the number found at the intersection of the methane column (calibration gas) and the pentane row (gas being sampled)…in this case, 2.00. Therefore, the actual %LEL pentane is 20% (10x2.00).
