IT modules are designed, and approved for installation and operation in hazardous locations.

1.2PRODUCT 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.

1.3THEORY OF OPERATION

Electrochemical sensors are fuel cell-like devices consisting of an anode, cathode and electrolyte. The components of the cell are selected so a subject gas, allowed to diffuse into the cell, will cause a chemical reaction and generate a current. The cells are diffusion limited so the rate the gas enters the cell is solely dependent on the gas concentration. The current generated is proportional to the rate of consumption of the subject gas in the cell.

1.4 MODES OF OPERATION

1.4.1SENTRY INTERFACE

IT gas sensor modules can be installed on Sierra Monitor Sentry Model 5000 controllers. The gas sensor module communicates as a toxic gas sensor module (Type 4 – 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
