1.3 Password
Factory preset default password is 0017.
Password can be changed. RECORD PASSWORD IN A SECURE PLACE. If the
password is lost, the unit must be returned to QEL to be reset
1.4 Output Signals
Options are 4-20 milliamp or 2-10 VDC linear. Choose the option by moving the jumper
on JP3. On over range concentrations the signal can exceed the range slightly.
Figure 2 Signal Configuration JP3

MPORTANT
: Voltage monitoring should be into a monitor with at least 50 000 ohms
input impedance. Voltage monitoring is not recommended over long distances, as
these signals are more susceptible to induced noise than current signals
1.5 Meter Jacks
Test pads accepting standard test probes are provided on the circuit card. These are
labeled SigA, SigB and Common
To test milliamp signals measure:
• SigA to Common shorts to internal ground.
• SigA to SigB without interrupting signal to monitor
To Test voltage signals measure:
• SigB to Common.
1.6 Signal and Display Range
It is important to distinguish between Signal Range (often called Span) and Display
Range.
83850-001-000 RG Aug 06, 2013
4
M-5 Operation And Maintenance Manual
Display Range is the range of concentrations the unit is capable of displaying
(which is the same concentration it will report on the digital communications).
The display range varies with the gas type.
Signal Range is the assignment of the 4 to 20 mA signal. Default assignment of 4
mA is zero concentration. The default setting for 20 mA varies with the gas type.
The Signal range is fully adjustable within the limits imposed by the Display Range. Both
the 4 mA level and the 20 mA level can be reassigned through the menu system. Please
note that this adjustment does not change the measurement resolution.
1.7 Optional Relay Package
Two relays are supplied; single pole double throw (SPDT; Form C) 1 Amp. Dry contacts
only. Configuration allows setpoint adjustment for actuation point, dead-band, and
delays, increasing or decreasing concentrations. The relay settings have the same range as
the Display Range, and are independent of Signal Range.
1.8 Default Conditions
Default conditions are those conditions, which occur:
• During the short wait state on Power On.
• In Fault status.
• In the menu tree.
In these situations the following conditions hold:
• Signal set at 4.0 milliamps (2 Volts)
• Relays set non-energized.
• Digital communications report 0; no alarm status and 4 milliamp equivalent
signal.
1.9 Sensing and Calibration
Sensor type: Various electrochemical.
1.9.1 Calibration
The sensor is strongly linear in it’s response to gas. It is therefore straightforward to
calibrate. Two gases are needed for calibration: Zero gas (clean air) and an appropriate
span gas. Adjustment is by one potentiometer on the circuit board.
1.9.2 Implications for Troubleshooting
The microprocessor will detect various component faults and out-of-range conditions,
and drop the output signal to 0.0 milliamps. When a fault is detected, both relays will be
deactivated as well. However, it cannot detect simple out of calibration conditions, which
can only be detected by applying a gas standard.

Note: The user has control of all variables, including calibration gas concentrations,
alarm settings and signal range (both 4 milliamp and 20 milliamp) assignments. It is
important to note that these must be chosen carefully with regard to calibration. Zero
calibration is done through a menu option, Span calibration is done though a
potentiometer on the circuit card, not through the menu system, and so it is possible to
perform the adjustment without the menu system; however, the menus do offer disabling
of output actuation.

2.3.2 RS-485 End-of-Line Wiring and Termination
RS-485 installations require specialized wiring. A number of manufacturers make cable
especially for this wiring standard (EIA-485), (e.g. Belden 9841). This is a twisted,
shielded, balanced pair, 24 AWG, 120 Ohm. In order to prevent signal bounce-back and
83850-001-000 RG Aug 06, 2013

2.3.3 Battery
Certain sensors (NH3, NO) require active power even when the unit as a whole is
powered down. This is done to prevent excessively long stabilization periods on turn-on.

2.4 Gas Calibration
Calibration should not vary significantly over a period of years; however, it is best to
perform a verification calibration after installation, and at one-year intervals thereafter.
All units are factory calibrated.
2.4.1 Equipment Required
• Zero air, (clean air or nitrogen).
• Appropriate span gas as close to the range of interest as possible
• Pressure and Flow Limiting Regulator(s) 0.4 to 0.8 lpm (0.8 to 1.6 scfh)
• Tubing and bayonet adapter.

M-5 Operation And Maintenance Manual
Figure 6 Calibration Gas Bayonet Adapter
2.4.2 Procedure
Calibration Procedure:
Enter the configuration menu system and proceed to “CAL ZERO”.
This disables alarm outputs, and forces the output signal to 4.00 milliamps.
Response of these sensors to gas varies with the sensor, but in most cases the
signal should be sufficiently stable in less than 5 minutes. Pre-calibration
stabilization times vary from 24 hours (CO and NO2) to a week or more (NH3).
Apply zero gas (clean air) and wait for the display reading to stabilize.
(Remember that the 4-20 milliamp signal may be set to a different range.) Press
Accept to automatically zero the reading.
Press Down to go to CAL SPAN.
Apply an appropriate span gas, and adjust the Gain potentiometer to get the
correct reading on the display.
On removing the gas, you may find that the display does not completely re-zero.
Return to CAL ZERO to re-Zero. Note: Allow enough time for the sensor to
stabilize at zero in order not to set an incorrect zero calibration.
2.4.3 Calibration Errors
If the gas flow was not sufficient, or the bayonet adapter was too loosely applied, the gas
concentration in the sensor will stabilize at an incorrect low value.

M-5 Operation And Maintenance Manual
3. Faults
3.1 Self-check Faults
The microprocessor monitors a number of operational values for faults, and will display
each occurrence for two seconds as follows:
FAULT
XXX
Where XXX is a fault code.
The unit will automatically restart and continue normal operation if the fault occurred due
to a temporary intrusion (e.g.: Radio frequency interference or water condensation formed
due to fast temperature change).
A fault shown repeatedly indicates malfunction of the unit. In such cases the fault code
should be recorded and the unit returned for repair.
When a fault is detected, the output is dropped to 0.0 mA and both relays are deactivated.
The only Self Check Faults which can be field addressed are those which refer to
problems with the sensor (fault code 048):
• Check that the sensor is inserted in its socket correctly.
• Replace sensor. If the fault is removed, then re-calibrate.
• Return unit to Factory.
Beep Codes:
One short beep, followed by 5-second silence, accompanied by blank LCD, indicates a
faulty LCD, return to factory for repair.
Note: The unit performs a standard short beep at power-up.
