IMPORTANT
Be sure to read and understand this instruction manual before installing, operating
or servicing the gas detection equipment.
WARNING
•Do not open the sensor enclosure with power applied unless it is verified that no
combustible gases or vapors are present. Calibration or maintenance should not
be performed if there is any indication of the presence of combustible gas near
the sensor.
•If anytime an intrusive sensor calibration procedure has to be performed then de-
classify the area before opening the sensor junction box.
•The sintered flame arrestor on the stainless steel sensor head is an integral part of
the complete sensor assembly. Do not operate the gas sensor with the flame
arrestor removed or damaged.
CAUTION
•If needed the sensor threads should be coated with silicone free grease. The
junction box cover threads should also be lubricated .
Silicone based lubricants must never be used.
•Follow the wiring instruction for proper and safe operation under normal
conditions. Be sure that all wiring complies with NEC and all local ordinances.

Overview
Model PT295 is a single point fixed sensor for the detection of toxic gases in ambient
air. Table I lists the target gases and the detection ranges. PT295 displays the gas
concentration and transmits a linear 4-20mA analog output signal that is
proportional to the gas concentration displayed. The unit is also equipped with a
form “C” type alarm relay contacts.
The sensor also features a non-intrusive calibration. Calibration is performed by
activating an internal magnetic switch. All calibration and alarm configuration data
is maintained in a non-volatile memory
Sensor transmitter board and connection board are enclosed in an explosion proof
junction box (rated Class I, Div 1 & 2). The unit consists of three assemblies, the
transmitter and display board, the connection board, and the stainless steel sensor
head assembly. Each of these assemblies can be purchased separately.

Transmitter Board
The transmitter board assembly consists of the signal conditioning circuit,
microprocessor, digital display and 4-20 mA output circuit. The transmitter board
assembly is connected to the connection board via ribbon cable and secured onto the
stand-off via two thumb screws. To remove the transmitter board simply move the
thumb screws counter-clockwise and slowly pull the transmitter board away.
Unplug the ribbon cable to completely remove the transmitter board from sensor
unit.
Note: Do not use force to tighten the thumb screws when installing the transmitter board
back on the connection / termination board.

Connection Board
The termination or connection board consists of alarm relay and DC-DC power
converters for the transmitter board and the sensor. The power converters are
protected against reverse polarity.
A 3 pin terminal is provided for user interface to the monitoring device for power
input and 4-20ma output. A three (3) Pin terminal block is also used for alarm
connections. Each pin on alarm terminal block is labeled as C (common), NC
(normally closed) and NO (normally open). See Figure 3.
The 4 pin terminal at the bottom of the board is labeled SENSOR. Four (4) wires
from the sensor head assembly are connected to this terminal.
These wires are connected as follows:
R Red wire (Sensor Positive 5 VDC Supply)
G Green Wire (Sensor Ground)
W White Wire (Sensor signal out) and
B Black wire (Sensor -5VDC Supply)
Note:
Oxygen sensor head has only 2 wires (Black and white). Thus only these 2 wire
connections are required
For proper operation these wires must be connected as noted above.
