6M2A Transmitter Operator’s Manual

Chapter 1: Introduction

Overview

This chapter briefly describes the M2A Transmitter. This chapter also describes the M2A Transmitter Operator’s

Manual (this document). Table 1 at the end of this chapter lists the specifications for the M2A.

About the M2A Transmitter

The M2A transmitter is a fixed mount, continuous-monitoring detector head. All user adjustable parameters may

be accessed using push button switches. In addition, calibration may be performed non-intrusively by use of a

magnetic wand accessory which activates magnetic switches through a window at the front face of the detector

head.

The M2A displays the current gas reading on an OLED display which is visible through the window in the cover

(front face) and provides a 4 - 20 mA signal which indicates the target gas reading for use by a gas monitoring

controller, recording device, or programmable controller. The M2A also provides an RS-485 Modbus output.

Three sets of relay contacts, two controlled by the gas alarms and one by the fail alarm, rated at 115 VAC 5 amps

are available for controlling devices such as lights or horns or for controlling higher rated relays.

Four operating modes allow you to display and change setup and calibration settings and change the gas type.

They are Calibration Mode, Configuration Mode, Gas Type Mode, and Modbus Mode.

About this Manual

The M2A Transmitter Operator’s Manual uses the following conventions for notes, cautions, and warnings.

NOTE: Describes additional or critical information.

CAUTION: Describes potential damage to equipment.

WARNING: Describes potential danger that can result in injury or death.

Chapter 2: Description

Overview

This chapter describes external and internal components of the M2A Transmitter.

External Description

This section describes the junction box and all external components of the M2A transmitter.

Figure 1: M2A External Components

Junction Box

The M2A’s cast aluminum junction box is dust and weather resistant. The junction box also protects the M2A

and all connections made to it. Use the three 3/4 NPT conduit ports to mount the detector to the junction box

(factory installed in the bottom port) and connect wiring from an external device (left port). The top port is

shipped with a factory installed and sealed conduit plug to avoid leaks into the junction box. If necessary, the

conduit plug can be removed and the top port can be used for wiring.

WARNING: If the top conduit port is used for wiring, be sure to seal the threads to ensure water does not

enter the junction box. See “Wiring the M2A Transmitter” on page 28 for complete wiring

instructions.

Use the junction box’s two mounting holes to mount the M2A to a vertical surface at the monitoring site. The

window in the cover on the front of the junction box allows you to view the OLED display and use the magnetic

wand to actuate the magnetic control switches so you can perform non-intrusive calibration. Removing the cover
