WARNING

Read and understand this instruction manual before operating

instrument. Improper use of the gas monitor could result in bodily

harm or death.

Periodic calibration and maintenance of the gas monitor is essential

for proper operation and correct readings. Please calibrate and

maintain this instrument regularly! Frequency of calibration depends

upon the type of use you have and the sensor types. Typical

calibration frequencies for most applications are between 3 and 6

months, but can be required more often or less often based on your

usage.

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 recording device.

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.

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

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

Overview

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

M2A Transmitter Operator’s Manual 9

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 15 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

allows you to access the interior of the junction box.

Magnetic Wand

The magnetic wand is a short plastic rod with a magnet in one end. It is used to actuate the magnetic control

switches on the control PCB while the junction box cover is still installed so that non-intrusive calibration can be

performed.

Gas Detector

The gas detector senses the target gas and is mounted in a 3/4 NPT conduit port on the right bottom side of the

M2A. The IR combustible detectors are generally used instead of the catalytic combustible detectors in

applications where there may be catalyst poisons such as silicone present or where oxygen is not present in the

monitoring environment.

The IR detector has a replaceable plug-in sensor inside the detector housing. A sensor gasket seals the sensor

face to the detector housing cap.

Internal Description

This section describes the internal components of the M2A. The internal components of the M2A include the

terminal PCB which provides for all the wiring connections to the M2A and the control PCB which displays the

gas reading and has the control buttons.

Figure 3: M2A Internal Components

Terminal PCB

The terminal PCB is encapsulated in epoxy for protection against moisture and physical damage. It is mounted

into the rear of the junction box with three standoffs and rests on a thin layer of foam. A banana jack is screwed

into each of the standoffs and used for mounting the control PCB. The terminal PCB converts the electrical

output from the detector to a signal which can be displayed by the OLED display and a 4 - 20 mA signal (that is

proportional to the detection range). The 4 - 20 mA signal may be used by a recording device. The terminal PCB

also controls three relays, one fail and two gas alarm relays.

Two columns of plug-in style terminal strips are used to make all wiring connections to the M2A. The column on

the left consists of the power/signal, detector, and Modbus terminal strips. The column on the right consists of

the relay terminal strips. A 20 position connector at the bottom of the terminal PCB is used to connect the

terminal PCB to the control PCB with a ribbon cable. A 5 position connector on the left side of the terminal PCB

is used by factory or field service personnel to program the M2A. On the combustible and CO2versions of the

M2A, a factory adjust pot just above the programming connector is used to set the detector current.
