Description

This section describes the components of the combustible gas transmitter. The transmitter

is a 4 - 20 mA type detector head. It consists of the combustible gas detector, amplifier, and

junction box.

Figure 1: Combustible Gas Transmitter Component Location

Combustible Gas Detector

The combustible gas detector includes the sensing elements, flame arrestor, detector

housing, and detector leads.

Sensing Elements

Two sensing elements are protected within the detector assembly. Through a series of

thermal and electronic reactions, these elements produce an electrical output that is

proportional to the detection range of the transmitter.

Flame Arrestor

The porous flame arrestor allows the target gas to diffuse into the detector assembly and

contact the sensing elements. The flame arrestor also contains sparks within the detector.

Detector Housing

The sensing elements and flame arrestor are installed within the detector housing.

Mounting threads (1/2 in. NPT) at the top of the detector allow you to mount the

combustible gas detector into the bottom conduit hub of the junction box. A rainshield

screws onto the bottom of the detector. The rainshield helps protect the detector from

debris in the monitoring environment.

Detector Leads

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

the combustible gas detector to the amplifier.

Amplifier

The amplifier converts the electrical output from the detector to a 4 to 20 mA signal that is

proportional to the detection range and transmits the signal to a gas monitoring controller.

The amplifier includes the interconnect terminal strip, span pot, zero pot, and test points

(see Figure 1).

Interconnect Terminal Strip

The interconnect terminal strip is a seven-point terminal strip. Use the interconnect

terminal strip to connect the combustible gas detector to the amplifier and the amplifier to

a controller.

NOTE: The combustible gas detector is factory-wired to the amplifier. See the

Installation section of this manual for all wiring procedures related to the

transmitter.

Span Pot

The span pot is near the bottom of the amplifier (see Figure 1). Use the span pot to adjust

the transmitter’s response output during the calibration procedure.

Zero Pot

The zero pot is to the right of the span pot (see Figure 1). Use the zero pot to adjust the

transmitter’s target gas-free output during the start-up and calibration procedures.

CAUTION: The amplifier includes two additional potentiometers. They are factory-set. Do not

adjust them.

Test Points

The test points (labeled TP+ and TP-) are to the left of the interconnect terminal strip

(see Figure 1). The test points produce a 100 to 500 mV output that is proportional to the

transmitter’s 4 to 20 mA output. Use the test points and a voltmeter to measure the

transmitter’s output during the start-up and calibration procedures.

4 • 65-2400RK Combustible Gas Transmitter

Junction Box

Use the junction box to install the combustible gas 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 two 3/4 in. conduit hubs to mount the detector

to the junction box (bottom hub) and connect wiring from the amplifier to the controller

(top hub). The detector has 1/2 in. NPT mounting threads, so a 3/4 in NPT. x 1/2 in. NPT

reducer is used to mount it.

NOTE: The combustible gas detector and amplifier are factory-mounted to the

junction box.

Use the junction box’s two mounting holes to mount the combustible gas transmitter to a

vertical surface at the monitoring site. Use the cover on the front of the junction box to

access the interior of the junction box.

Installation

This section describes procedures to mount the combustible gas transmitter in the

monitoring environment and wire the transmitter to the controller.

Mounting the Combustible Gas 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 lighter gases,

mount the detector near the ceiling; for heavier gases, mount the detector near the

floor.

Figure 2: Mounting the Combustible Gas Transmitter

If the combustible gas detector is mounted to the junction box, skip to step 5. If not,

continue with step 2.

2. Remove the junction box cover.

3. Guide the four wires that extend from the top of the combustible gas detector through

the bottom conduit hub of the junction box.

4. Screw the combustible gas detector into the bottom conduit hub of the junction box.

5. At the monitoring site, use #10 screws through the junction box’s two mounting holes

to secure the junction box to a vertical surface.

CAUTION: Mount the combustible gas transmitter with the detector facing down (see Figure 2).

Wiring the Combustible Gas Transmitter to a Controller

WARNING: Always verify that the power source 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. Verify that the detector leads are wired to the amplifier’s interconnect terminal strip.

If necessary, connect the detector leads to the interconnect terminal strip as shown in

Figure 3.

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

conduit hub of the junction box.

6. Connect the three wires to the interconnect terminal strip as follows (see Figure 3).

• Connect the positive wire to the 24VDC terminal.

• Connect the feedback wire to the 4-20 (FB) terminal.

• Connect the negative wire to the DC - terminal.

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

disconnected at the transmitter. You will connect the opposite end of the cable’s drain

wire at the controller to chassis ground.

7. Secure the junction box cover to the junction box.

8. Route the cable or wires leading from the combustible gas transmitter through one of

the conduit hubs at the controller housing.

CAUTION: Do not route power and transmitter wiring through the same conduit hub. The

power cable may disrupt the transmission of the transmitter signal to the

controller.

9. Connect the wires to the applicable transmitter terminal strip at the controller as

shown in Figure 3 below.
