Sentry Instruction Manual - Version 6

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 bi- directional 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.

1.3SENSOR 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.
