65-2444-500 PPM Hexane Transmitter Description • 7

PPM Hexane Detector

The ppm hexane detector is a MOS type (metal oxide semiconductor) detector packaged in a 1/2

NPT nipple with a sintered metal flame arrestor on one end allowing ambient air to diffuse into

the detector. The flame arrestor also contains any sparks which may occur within the detector. The

1/2 NPT mounting threads at the top of the detector allow you to mount it into the bottom conduit

hub of the junction box. A rainshield screws onto the bottom of the detector (flame arrestor end).

The rainshield helps protect the detector from rain and debris in the monitoring environment.

Three color-coded leads extend from the top of the detector. The leads allow you to connect the

detector to the amplifier.

Amplifier

The amplifier converts the non-linear electrical output from the detector to a linear 4 to 20 mA

signal that corresponds to the detection range and transmits the signal to a gas monitoring

controller. The amplifier includes the terminal strips, span pot, linearizing pot, and test points.

Figure 2: Amplifier Component Location

Controller Terminal Strip

The controller terminal strip is a three position plug-in style terminal strip located near the top of

the amplifier. Use the controller terminal strip to wire the transmitter to a controller.

Detector Terminal Strip

The detector terminal strip is a three position plug-in style terminal strip located below the

controller terminal strip. Use the detector terminal strip to connect the detector to the amplifier.

NOTE: The detector is factory-wired to the detector terminal strip. See page 10 for all wiring

procedures related to the transmitter.

Span Pot

The span pot is located to the left of the detector terminal strip (see Figure 2). Use a small flat

blade screwdriver to turn the span pot’s adjustment screw and adjust the amplifier’s full scale

response output during the calibration procedure.

Linearizing Pot

The linearizing pot (labeled LINEAR) is located in the bottom left corner of the amplifier (see

Figure 2). Use a small flat blade screwdriver to turn the linearizing pot’s adjustment screw while

applying mid-scale gas to linearize the transmitter’s output during the calibration procedure.

Test Points

The test points are on the right side of the amplifier (see Figure 2). The test points produce a 100

to 500 mV output that corresponds to the transmitter’s 4 to 20 mA output. Use the test points and

a voltmeter to measure the amplifier’s output during the start-up and calibration procedures. The

black test point on the bottom is the negative (-) test point and the red test point on the top is the

positive (+) test point.

JP1 and JP2 Jumpers

The JP1 and JP2 jumpers are both shipped from the factory. JP1 will only be installed on one pin

and JP2 will be installed on either one or both pins. When installing a new sensor, the jumper

configuration may need to be adjusted (see page 17).

Junction Box

Use the junction box to install the transmitter at a mounting site that is remote from the controller.

The junction box also protects the amplifier and wiring connections made to the amplifier. Use the

top 3/4 NPT conduit hub to connect wiring from the amplifier to the controller. Use the cover on

the front of the junction box to access the interior of the junction box. The detector and amplifier

are factory installed in the junction box.

Installation

This section describes procedures to mount the ppm hexane transmitter in the monitoring

environment and wire the transmitter to a controller.

Mounting the PPM Hexane Transmitter

Figure 3: Mounting the PPM Hexane Transmitter

1. Select a mounting site that is representative of the monitoring environment. Consider the

following when you select the mounting site.

• Select a site where the transmitter is not likely to be bumped or disturbed. Make sure there

is sufficient room to perform start-up, maintenance, and calibration procedures.

• Select a site where the target gas is likely to be found first. For hexane, which is heavier

than air, mount the transmitter near the floor or where hexane is most likely to accumulate.

2. At the monitoring site you select, hang or mount the junction box with the detector facing

down (see Figure 3).

10 • Installation 65-2444-500 PPM Hexane Transmitter

Wiring the PPM Hexane Transmitter

WARNING: Always verify that the power to the controller is off before you make wiring

connections.

1. Turn off power to the controller.

2. Place the controller’s power switch in the OFF position.

3. Remove the junction box cover.

4. The detector leads are factory wired. Verify that the detector leads are wired to the amplifier’s

detector terminal strip as shown in Figure 4.

5. To gain access to a plug-in terminal strip for wiring, pull it out of its socket by grasping the

terminal strip and pulling. The detector strip is keyed so that the controller and detector

terminal strips cannot be reversed inadvertently.

6. Guide a three-conductor, shielded cable or three wires in conduit through the top conduit hub

of the junction box.

7. Pull out the controller terminal strip, and connect the three wires to the terminal strip as

follows (see Figure 4).

• Connect the positive wire to the PWR/SIG “+” terminal.

• Connect the signal wire to the PWR/SIG “S” terminal.

• Connect the negative wire to the PWR/SIG “-” terminal.

CAUTION: If shielded cable is used, leave the cable shield’s drain wire

disconnected and insulated at the transmitter. You will connect the

opposite end of the cable’s drain wire to the controller’s chassis (earth)

ground.

8. Reinstall the controller terminal strip into its socket.

9. Secure the junction box cover to the junction box.

10. Route the cable or wires leading from the ppm hexane transmitter through one of the conduit

hubs at the controller housing.

CAUTION: Do not route power and transmitter wiring through the same controller

conduit hub. The power cable may disrupt the transmission of the

transmitter signal to the controller.
