3.0OPERATION

3.1Introduction

Under normal conditions the gas sensor module does not require operator or technician intervention. The following are conditions under which the module re- quires attention:

-Routine periodic calibration

-Sensor replacement on a planned schedule or when a sensor failure occurs.

-Periodic cleaning as necessary.

3.2Alarms

Three alarm conditions are possible. These can be detected visually at the optional Sierra Monitor con- troller and at the module.

Warm-Up Alarm

Oscillating (On/Off) contact closure and “red/ green” visual indication when power is first con- nected to the module, followed by a continuous closure of approximately 2-60 minutes indicat- ing warm-up.

Gas Alarm

 

 

Sustained contact closure and solid red light (once the warm-up time is completed) indicat- ing the presence of gas at, or above, the pre-set alarm limit.

Trouble Alarm

Interrupted contact closure and “red/green” vi- sual indication (once the warm-up time is com- pleted) after unit has been in operation, indicat- ing either a failed sensor or calibration problems.

3.3 Outputs

 

 

For the non-relay configurations a 5 volt DC TTL signal is provided to activate remote alarms such as the Sierra Monitor Alarm Panels. Relay configu- ration alarm conditions described above are trans- mitted to the annunciator as relay contact closures from the monitor.

The alarm outputs are non-latching closed contacts. As soon as the gas concentration falls below the alarm set-point, the alarm will stop and the alarm output will cause the relay to de-energize and the contacts will open.

During warm-up and failed sensor alarms the re- lays contact and the display LED's oscillate at ap- proximately one hertz.
