Detcon UniTox™ Model 200 Series universal toxic sensors are non-intrusive “Smart” sensors designed to
detect and monitor for toxic gases in the ppm range. The UniTox™ sensor family also includes ambient O
detection in the 0-25% range. UniTox™ sensors are designed to operate as standard two-wire 4-20 mA looppowered devices. Their intrinsically safe electronics design, when used with specified intrinsically safe field
wire barriers, conforms to a Class 1, Division 1, Group A, B, C, D area classification. The Sensor Assembly
includes a metal Nema 7 junction box and electropolished 316SS ISM assembly
The UniTox™ gas sensor consists of two major components: 1) the Universal Transmitter Module (UTM) and
2) the gas/range specific Intelligent Sensor Module (ISM). The universality of the design allows any ISM type
to be plugged into any UTM with seamless operation. The ISM consists of an electrochemical toxic gas
sensor and associated PCB providing pre-amplifier, microprocessor, and memory storage functions.
A 2-line 16-character alpha/numeric LCD is used to display sensor readings and provides the user interface
with the sensor’s menu driven features via a hand-held programming magnet.
Typical ranges of detection are 0-1ppm, 0-10ppm, 0-25ppm, 0-50 ppm, and 0-100ppm. Other ranges are
available and all ranges are covered by this manual. To determine model number, gas type, and range of
detection, reference the labeling on the ISM or refer to the instructions found in Section 10 (View Program
Status).

1.2 Sensor Technology
The sensors are electrolytic chemical cells. Each cell consists of three electrodes embedded in an electrolyte
solution, housed beneath a diffusion membrane. Sensitivity to specific target gases is achieved by varying
composition of any combination of the sensor components. Good specificity is achieved in each sensor type.
The cells are diffusion limited via small capillary barriers resulting in long service life of up to 3 or more
years. The oxygen cell is of the two-electrode, galvanic metal air battery type that functions as a direct current
generator proportional to the amount of oxygen adsorption.

The Method of detection is by an electrochemical reaction at the surface of an electrode called the sensing
electrode. Air and gas diffuse through the capillary diffusion barrier. The controlling circuit maintains a small
external operating voltage between the sensing and counter electrodes of the proper bias and magnitude so that
no current flows to or from the reference electrode while its potential is maintained at the correct fixed voltage
— usually ground. The electrochemical reaction creates a change in current flow from the counter electrode to
the sensing electrode. This change in current is proportional to the gas concentration and is reversible. The
quick response of the sensor results in continuous monitoring of ambient air conditions
.

1.3 Universal Transmitter Module (UTM)
The UTM is microprocessor based, and is packaged as a field replaceable module mounted in an explosion
proof enclosure. This facilitates easy replacement and minimum down time. Circuit functions include a PIC
microprocessor, 2-line alphanumeric display, magnetic programming switches, and a linear 4-20 mA DC
output. Field wiring is terminated on the bottom side of the UTM. The UTM also provides an easily
accessible LCD contrast adjust pot and a protective input fuse (refer Figure 5 below). Calibration can be
acco
mplished without removing the cover. The low power intrinsically safe electronics design provides for an
area classification, which is Class 1; Division 1: Groups B, C, D.

1.4 Intelligent Sensor Module (ISM)
The ISM is microprocessor-based and is packaged as a plug-in replaceable module that facilitates easy
replacement and minimum downtime. The module is composed of sensor cell and ISM circuitry, permanently
potted in epoxy, and retained within a plug-in stainless steel mechanical assembly. Circuit functions include
an electrochemical sensor pre-amplifier, PIC microprocessor, and memory data storage. The ISM plugs into
the UTM via 5 rigid gold plated pins and is then secured via a threaded machined collar that screws on and
provides mechanical stability and a water-tight seal.

NOTE: The splashguard adapter is threaded and then secured to ISM housing using a setscrew.
To replace sensor cell, remove setscrew from splashguard adapter, unscrew splashguard
adapter from housing, replace sensor then re-secure splashguard adapter using setscrew.
2. Installation
2.1 Sensor Placement/Mounting
Sensor location should be reviewed by facility engineering and safety personnel. Area leak sources and
perimeter mounting are typically used to determine number and location of sensors. The sensors are generally
located 2 - 4 feet above grade.
Optimum performance of ambient air/gas sensor devices is directly related to proper location and installation
practices. Refer Figure 7 for recommended electrical installation method

Interference Table
as the relation between the amount of the interfering gas applied to the sensor, and the corresponding reading
that will occur. All measurements are in ppm unless otherwise noted.
The table is laid out with the Gas type of each UniTox™ sensor in a column on the left side of the page. The
interfering gases are listed in a row across the top of the page. Each page lists all Model Numbers but 5 pages
are necessary to list all interfering gases, thus each page is a repeat of the full line of Detcon UniTox™
sensors. Be sure to reference each page to ascertain the full listing of interfering gases for a particular
UniTox™ sensor.
In example: The first listing shows that the C2H30 Acetyldehyde sensor will have an interference reading of
340 ppm if 40 ppm of C2H2 (Acetylene) is applied.
NOTE: Interference factors may differ from sensor to sensor and with lifetime. It is not
DM-200 Instruction Manual Rev. 2.0 Page 5 of 40

Model DM-200
advisable to calibrate with interference gases. They should be used only as a guide.
2.3 Field Wiring Table (4-20 mA output)
Detcon UniTox™ toxic gas sensor assemblies require two-conductor connections between power supplies and
host electronic controllers. Wiring designators are + (DC), and – (DC). Maximum single conductor resistance
between sensor and controller is 10 ohms. Maximum wire size for termination in the sensor assembly terminal
board is 14 gauge.
NOTE: This wiring table is based on stranded tinned copper wire and is designed to serve as a
reference only.
NOTE: Shielded cable may be required in installations where cable trays or conduit runs
include high voltage lines or other sources of induced interference.

Protection
2.4 Sensor Location
Selection of sensor location is critical to the overall safe performance of the product. Five factors play an
important role in selection of sensor locations:
(1) Density of the gas to be detected
(2) Most probable leak sources within the industrial process
(3) Ventilation or prevailing wind conditions
(4) Personnel exposure
(5) Maintenance access
Density - Placement of sensors relative to the density of the target gas is such that sensors for the detection of
heavier than air gases should be located within 2-4 feet of grade as these heavy gases will tend to settle in low
lying areas. For gases lighter than air, sensor placement should be 4-8 feet above grade in open areas or in
pitched areas of enclosed spaces.
Leak Sources - Most probable leak sources within an industrial process include flanges, valves, and tubing
connections of the sealed type where seals may either fail or wear. Other leak sources are best determined by
facility engineers with experience in similar processes.
Ventilation - Normal ventilation or prevailing wind conditions can dictate efficient location of gas sensors in a
manner where the migration of gas clouds is quickly detected.
Personnel Exposure - The undetected migration of gas clouds should not be allowed to approach concentrated
personnel areas such as control rooms, maintenance or warehouse buildings. A more general and applicable
thought toward selecting sensor location is combining leak source and perimeter protection in the best possible
configuration.
DM-200 Instruction Manual Rev. 2.0 Page 6 of 40
Page 11
Model DM-200
Maintenance Access
Consideration should be given to easy access by maintenance personnel as well as the consequences of close
proximity to contaminants that may foul the sensor prematurely.
NOTE: In all installations, the sensor element in SS housing points down relative to grade
Figure 8. Improper sensor orientation may result in false reading and
permanent sensor
damage.
Figure 8 Sensor assembly orientation
2.5 Local Electrical Codes
Sensor and transmitter assemblies should be installed in accordance with all local electrical codes. Use
appropriate conduit seals. Drains & breathers are recommended.
2.6 Installation Procedure
a) Securely mount the sensor junction box in accordance with recommended practice. See dimensional
drawing in Section Error! Reference source not found. .
b) Unscrew the enclosure cover. Release the UTM assembly by removing and retaining two mounting
screws and washers on the transmitter. Observing correct polarity, connect the loop power field
wiring to the terminals labeled “+” and “–” 4-20 mA (reference Figure 9). Reinstall transmitter and
secure using scre
Some sensor mounting applications require that the gas sensor head be remotely mounted away from the
sensor transmitter. This is usually true in instances where the gas sensor head must be mounted in a location
that is difficult to access. Such a location creates problems for maintenance and calibration activities. Detcon
provides the UniTox™ Model Series 200 in a remote-mount configuration in which the sensor and the
transmitter are provided in their own condulet housing and are interfaced together with a four conductor cable.
The separation distance can be up to 75 feet. Refer Figure 10 for wiring diagram

Model DM-200
2.8 Start Up
Upon completion of all mechanical mounting and termination of all field wiring, apply system power and
observe the following normal condition:
A temporary upscale reading will occur as the sensor powers up. This upscale reading should clear to 0ppm
within approximately 30 minutes of turn-on, assuming there is no gas in the area of the sensor.
NOTE: If the display contrast needs adjustment, refer to Section 4.3 Display Contrast Adjust
Zero Clearing with Biased Cells
Some electrochemical sensors are biased with an excitation voltage. When power to the sensor is lost, this
bias voltage slowly decays. When power is restored after long periods of time (multiple hours), a surge in
sensor output takes place and a long and slow re-establishing of the sensor’s zero baseline takes place. This
re-stabilization time may range from 1 hour to 24 hours depending on the type of sensor and range of
operation. The sensor types that this applies to are the following: HCl, NO, NH3 (DM-202-NH3), plus all the
VOC sensors, C2H30, C2H2, C3H3N, C4H6, CS2, COS, C2H6S, C3H5OCL, C2H5OH, C2H4, C2H4O,
CH2O, CH3OH, C4H4S, C4H6O2, C6H5CH3 and C2H3CL.
If this characteristic is problematic for your specific application, a battery backup or uninterruptible power
supply is recommended.
2.9 Initial Operational Tests
After a warm up period has been allowed for, the sensor should be checked to verify sensitivity to its target
gas.
Material Requirements
* Span gas containing the target gas in air or nitrogen. It is recommended that the target gas
concentration be 50% of scale at a controlled flow rate of 500 ml/min. For example, a Model DM200-H2S UniTox™ sensor in the range 0-100ppm would require a test gas of 50ppm H2S. For a
sensor with a range of 0-10ppm a test gas of 5ppm is recommended, etc.
For oxygen, use test gas containing 100% nitrogen.
a) Attach tubing to the center port connection of Splashguard. Apply the test gas at a controlled flow rate
of 500ml/m. Observe that the LCD display increases to a level of 20% of range or higher. For oxygen,
observe that the display decreases to a level of 3% or less.
b) Remove the test gas and observe that the LCD display decreases to “0 PPM”. For oxygen, observe
that the LCD display increases back close to 20.9%.
Initial operational tests are complete. Detcon toxic gas sensors are pre-calibrated prior to shipment and in
most cases will not require significant adjustment on start up. However, it is recommended that a complete
calibration test and adjustment be performed within 24 hours of installation. Refer to calibration instructions
in later text.

Programming Magnet Operating Instructions
Operator interface to UniTox™ gas detection products is via magnetic switches located behind the UTM
enclosure cover. DO NOT remove the cover to calibrate or change programming parameters. Two switches
labeled “PGM 1” and “PGM 2” allow for complete calibration and programming without removing the
enclosure cover, thereby eliminating the need for area de-classification or the use of hot permits.
Figure 11 Magnetic Programming Tool
A magnetic programming tool (see figure 5) is used to operate the switches. Switch action is defined as
momentary contact, 3 second hold, and 15 second hold. In momentary contact use, the programming magnet
is waved over a switch location. In 3 second hold, the programming magnet is held in place over a switch
location for 3 or more seconds. In 15 second hold, the programming magnet is held in place over a switch
location for 15 seconds. Three (3) and fifteen (15) second holds are used to enter or exit calibration and
program menus while momentary contact is used to make set-point adjustments. The location of “PGM 1” and
“PGM 2” is shown in Figure 4
NOT
E: If, after entering the calibration or program menus, there is no interaction with the
menu items for more than 30 seconds, the sensor will return to its normal operating condition.

3.4 Calibration - Toxics
3.4.1 Calibration Procedure - Zero
NOTE: Before performing a zero calibration, be sure there is no background gas present or
apply a zero gas standard for 1-2 minutes prior to performing zero calibration.
a) Enter the calibration menu by holding the programming magnet stationary over “PGM 1” (see Figure
4) for 3 seconds until the display
b) Next, enter the Zero Cal menu by holding the magnet stationary over “PGM 1” for 3 seconds until the
display reads: “Auto Zero”, then withdraw the magnet. The sensor has now entered the Auto Zero
mode which lasts for 7 seconds. When it is complete the display will read “Zero Complete” for 2
seconds and then report the date of the last span as a reminder. Following that the display will read
“Return to Normal Operation” for 3 seconds and then Auto Zero is complete. If applicable, remove
gas.
NOTE: If the circuitry is unable to adjust the zero to the proper setting, the sensor will enter a
calibration fault mode which will cause the display to alternate between the sensor’s current
status reading and the calibration fault screen which appears as: “Zero Cal Fault”.
NOTE: Upon entering the calibration menu, the 4-20 mA signal drops to 3.5 mA until the unit
returns to normal operation.
NOTE: When a “Zero Cal Fault” occurs, the sensor microprocessor retains its previous zero
calibration reference.
3.4.2 Calibration Procedure - Span
NOTE: It is best practice to do a Zero Cal just prior to a Span Cal.
Material Requirements
• Detcon PN 327-000000-000 Programming Magnet
• Span gas containing the target gas in air or nitrogen. The target gas concentration is recommended at
50% of range (which is the factory default) at a controlled flow rate of 500 ml/min. Example: for a
Model DM-200-H2S sensor with a range of 0-100 ppm, a test gas of 50 ppm is recommended. For a
sensor with a range of 0-10ppm a test gas of 5 ppm is recommended, etc. Other concentrations can be
used as long as they fall within 10% to 90% of range. See below for details. See section 3.6.1 if you
do n
ot know the sensor target gas or range of detection.
CAUTION: Verification of the correct calibration gas level setting and calibration span gas
concentration is required before “span” calibration. These two numbers must be equal before
proceeding.
Calibration consists of entering the calibration function and following the menu-displayed instructions. The
display will ask for the application of span gas in a specific concentration. This concentration is equal to the
span gas level setting. The factory setting for span gas concentration is typically 50% of range, but may be
different depending on gas availability. For normal calibration, a span gas containing a concentration equal to
50% of range is required. If a span gas containing 50% of range is not available, other concentrations may be
used as long as they fall within 10% to 90% of range. However, any alternate span gas concentration value
must be programmed via the calibration gas level menu before proceeding with span calibration. Follow the
instructions below for span calibration.

DM-200 Instruction Manual Rev. 2.0 Page 13 of 40
Page 18
Model DM-200
a) Verify the current calibration gas level setting as indicated by the programming status menu. To do
this, follow the instructions in Section 10 and make note of the setting found in listing number 7. The
item appears as “Auto Span Level / xx PPM”.
b) If the calibration gas level setting is equal to your calibration span gas concentration, proceed to item
“f”. If not, adjust the calibration gas level setting so that it is equal to your calibration span gas
concentration, as instructed in items “c” through “e”.
c) Enter the programming menu by holding the programming magnet stationary over “PGM 2” for 15
seconds until the display reads “View Program Status”, and then withdraw the magnet. At this point
you can scroll through the programming menu by momentarily waving the programming magnet over
“PGM 1” or “PGM 2”. The menu options are: View Program Status, Set Span Level, and Set Date.
d) From the programming menu scroll to the calibration level listing. The menu item appears as: “Set
Span Level”. Enter the menu by holding the programming magnet stationary over “PGM 1” for 3
seconds until the display reads “Auto Span Level / ##PPM”, then withdraw the magnet. Use the
programming magnet to make an adjustment using “PGM 1” to increase or “PGM 2” to decrease the
display reading until the reading is equal to the desired calibration span gas concentration. To
accept/retain the newly entered value, hold the programming magnet over “PGM1” for 3 seconds.
NOTE: The newly entered span gas value is not saved to permanent memory until a span
calibration is successfully executed with it. New span gas values that are not saved to
permanent memory will be lost when power is lost.
e) Exit back to normal operation by holding the programming magnet over “PGM 2” for 3 seconds, or
automatically return to normal operation in 30 seconds.
f) From the calibration menu “1-Zero Cal 2-Span Cal” (section 3.4.1) proceed into the span adjust
function by holding the programming magnet stationary over “PGM 2” for 3 seconds then withdraw
the programming magnet. At this point the display will ask for the application of the target gas and
concentration. The display reads “Apply xxPPM Span Gas”. The ‘xx’ here will indicate the
concentration requested.

Figure 13 Auto Span Sequence - Toxics
g) Apply the calibration test gas at a flow rate of 500 milliliters per minute. When the sensor response
exceeds 10% of the applied test gas, the display will change to “Auto Span Test” for a period of 2
minutes.
If sensor response does not exceed 10% of applied gas after 1 minute, the menu “1-Abort Span / 2-Continue Span” appears. This gives the user an opportunity to verify proper span gas delivery and concentration before
continuing forward. If it is desirable to “Abort Span” and try again, then that choice may be exercised.
At two minutes the message will change to “Auto Span Adjust” for an additional 30 seconds. During this
period the sensor will analyze the signal for stability. The criterion for stability is signal drift within ±2% of
full scale in 30 seconds. If met, the message changes to “Auto Span Complete”.
If not met, up to 4 additional 30 second stability check periods are administered. If all 5 stability checks fail,
then the unit returns to Normal Operations with the original Auto Span parameter intact. An alternating
message of “Span Calibration Fault” is displayed to remind the user that a re-calibration is still necessary.
With “Auto Span Complete” achieved, the display now reports the remaining “Sensor Life xx%”, then the
“New Span Date”, and then “Remove Span Gas / xx PPM” which prompts the user to remove the span gas
from the sensor. During “Remove Span Gas / xx PPM”, the sensor recovers toward zero, and when the
signal level falls below 10% of full scale the display changes to “Return to Normal Operation”.
Additional Notes
1. Upon entering the calibration menu, the 4-20 mA signal drops to 3.5 mA and is held at this level until
the unit returns to normal operation.
DM-200 Instruction Manual Rev. 2.0 Page 15 of 40
Page 20
Model DM-200
2. If during calibration the sensor circuitry is unable to attain the proper adjustment for span, the sensor
will enter into the “Span Calibration Fault” mode which will cause the display to alternate between the
sensor’s current status reading and the calibration fault screen which appears as: “Span Cal Fault”.
If this occurs you may attempt to recalibrate by entering the calibration menu as described in section
3.4.1. If the sensor fails again, defer to technical trouble shooting.
NOTE: The newly entered span gas value is not saved to permanent memory until a span
calibration is successfully executed with it. New span gas values that are not saved to
permanent memory will be lost when power is lost.
3.4.3 Calibration Frequency
In most applications, monthly to quarterly calibration intervals will assure reliable detection. However,
industrial environments differ. Upon initial installation and commissioning, close frequency tests should be
performed, weekly to monthly. Test results should be recorded and reviewed to determine a suitable
calibration interval.
3.5 Calibration – Oxygen
3.5.1 O2 Calibration Procedure - Span
Material Requirements:
• Detcon PN 327-000000-000 Programming Magnet
• 0-25% O2 Range: Span gas containing 20.9% O2 in nitrogen at a controlled flow rate of 500 ml/min.
Ambient air (no calibration adapter) may be used directly as long as it is absolutely known that 20.9%
O2 level exists at the time of calibration.
• Other Ranges: Span gas at 50% of range.
CAUTION: Verification of the correct calibration gas level setting and calibration span gas
concentration is required before “span” calibration. These two numbers must be equal before
proceeding.
Calibration consists of entering the calibration function and following the menu-displayed instructions. The
display will ask for the application of span gas in a specific concentration. This concentration is equal to the
span gas level setting. The factory default setting for span gas concentration is typically 50% of range but for
the 0-25% O2 range it is set to 20.9%. If a span gas containing 50% of range is not available, other
concentrations may be used as long as they fall within 10% to 90% of range. However, any alternate span gas
concentration value must be programmed via the calibration gas level menu before proceeding with span
calibration. Follow the instructions below for span calibration.
a) Verify the current calibration gas level setting as indicated by the programming status menu. Refer
Section 3.6.1 and make note of the setting found in item number 7. The item appears as “Auto Span Level / xx PPM/%”.
b) If the calibration gas level setting is equal to your calibration span gas concentration, proceed to item
“f”. If not, adjust the calibration gas level setting so that it is equal to your calibration span gas
concentration, as instructed in items “c” through “e”.
c) Enter the programming menu by holding the programming magnet stationary over “PGM 2” for 15
seconds until the display reads “View Program Status”, and then withdraw the magnet. At this point
you can scroll through the programming menu by momentarily waving the programming magnet over
“PGM 1” or “PGM 2”. The menu options are: View Program Status, Set Span Level, and Set Date.
DM-200 Instruction Manual Rev. 2.0 Page 16 of 40

Model DM-200
d) From the programming menu scroll to the calibration level listing. The menu item appears as: “Set
Span Level”. Enter the menu by holding the programming magnet stationary over “PGM 1” for 3
seconds until the display reads “Auto Span Level / ##PPM/%”, then withdraw the magnet. Use the
programming magnet to make an adjustment using “PGM 1” to increase or “PGM 2” to decrease the
display reading until the reading is equal to the desired calibration span gas concentration. To
accept/retain the newly entered value, hold the programming magnet over “PGM1” for 3 seconds.
e) Exit back to normal operation by holding the programming magnet over “PGM 2” for 3 seconds, or
automatically return to normal operation in 30 seconds.
Figure 14 Auto Span Sequence - Oxygen
f) From the calibration menu “1-Zero Cal 2-Span Cal” (section 3.4.1) proceed into the span adjust
function
by holding the programming magnet stationary over “PGM 2” for 3 seconds then withdraw
the programming magnet. At this point the display will ask for the application of the target gas and
concentration. The display reads “Apply xxPPM/% Span Gas”. The ‘xx’ here will indicate the
concentration requested.
g) Apply the calibration test gas at a flow rate of 200 milliliters per minute. When the sensor response
exceeds 10% of the applied test gas, the display will change to “Auto Span Test” for a period of 2
minutes.
If sensor response does not exceed 10% of applied gas after 1 minute, the menu “1-Abort Span / 2-Continue Span” appears. This gives the user an opportunity to verify proper span gas delivery and concentration before
continuing forward. If it is desirable to “Abort Span” and try again, then that choice may be exercised.

At two minutes the message will change to “Auto Span Adjust” for an additional 30 seconds. During this
period the sensor will analyze the signal for stability. The criteria for stability is signal drift within ±2% of full
scale in 30 seconds. If met, the message changes to “Auto Span Complete”.
If not met, up to 4 additional 30 second stability check periods are administered. If all 5 stability checks fail,
then the unit returns to Normal Operations with the original Auto Span parameter intact. An alternating
message of “Span Calibration Fault” is displayed to remind the user that a re-calibration is still necessary.
With “Auto Span Complete” achieved, the display now reports the remaining “Sensor Life xx%”, then the
“New Span Date”, and then “Remove Span Gas / xx PPM/%” which prompts the user to remove the span
gas from the sensor. This is not necessary for the 0-25% O2 range if spanning at 20.9% level. During
“Remove Span Gas / xx PPM/%”, the sensor recovers toward zero, and when the signal level falls below
10% of full scale the display changes to “Return to Normal Operation”.
3.5.2 O2 Calibration Procedure - Zero
Material Requirements
• Detcon PN 327-000000-000 Programming Magnet
• Oxygen free gas standard such as 100% N
• Detcon PN 943-000000-000 Wind Guard for Splashguard
a) Apply an oxygen free gas standard for 2 minutes using the splashguard calibration port with wind
guard in place.
b) Enter the calibration menu by holding the programming magnet stationary over “PGM 1” (refer Figure
4 ) for 3
seconds until the display reads “1-Zero Cal 2-Span Cal”, and then withdraw the magnet.
c) Enter the Zero Cal menu by holding the magnet stationary over “PGM 1” for 3 seconds until the
display reads: “Auto Zero”, then withdraw the magnet. The sensor has now entered the Auto Zero
mode which lasts for 7 seconds. When it is complete the display will read “Zero Complete” for 2
seconds and then report the date of the last span as a reminder. Following that the display will read
“Return to Normal Operation” for 3 seconds and then Auto Zero is complete. Remove the test gas.
NOTE 1: If the circuitry is unable to adjust the zero to the proper setting, the sensor will enter
a calibration fault mode which will cause the display to alternate between the sensor’s current
status reading and the calibration fault screen which appears as: “Zero Cal Fault”.
NOTE 2: Upon entering the calibration menu, the 4-20 mA signal drops to 3.5 mA until the
unit returns to normal operation
NOTE 3: When a “Zero Cal Fault” occurs, the sensor microprocessor retains its previous zero
calibration reference.

3.7 Program Features
Detcon UniTox™ toxic gas sensors incorporate a comprehensive program to accommodate easy operator
interface and fail-safe operation. Program features are detailed in this section. Each sensor is factory tested,
programmed, and calibrated prior to shipment.
Sensor Life
The sensor life feature is a reference based on signal output from the sensor cell. When a sensor life of 25% or
less remains the sensor cell should be replaced within a reasonable maintenance schedule.
Data Logging
The data logging feature records the most recent 8 hours of data: time-weighted average (TWA) and peak (PK)
reading. The menu item appears as “TWA: xx PPM / PK: xx PPM@ xx Min”. TWA is a rolling 8 hour
average updated at 30 minute intervals. The peak (PK) reading is the instantaneous peak reading recorded in
the last 8 hours and the “@ –xx Min” represents the “number of minutes ago” that the peak reading took place.
For example: “PK: 33 PPM@ –360 Min” explains that a peak reading of 33 ppm took place 6 hours (360
minutes) ago.
NOTE: For oxygen sensing, the Peak (PK) reading is the lowest reading recorded in the last 8 hours
Over Range
When the sensor detects gas greater than 100% of range, it will display the highest reading of its range and an
output of 20 mA.
Under Range Fault
If the sensor should drift below a zero baseline of –10% of range, the display will indicate a fault: “Sensor
Fault” and report an output of 3.5 mA. This is typically fixed by performing another zero cal.
Span Calibration Fault
If during calibration the sensor circuitry is unable to attain the proper adjustment for span, the sensor will enter
into the span calibration fault mode and cause the display to alternate between the sensor’s normal operation
reading and the calibration fault screen which appears as: “Span Cal Fault”. The previous calibration
settings will remain saved in memory.
Zero Calibration Fault
If during calibration the sensor circuitry is unable to attain the proper adjustment for zero, the sensor will enter
into zero calibration mode and cause the display to alternate between the sensor’s normal operation reading
and the calibration fault screen which appears as: “Zero Cal Fault”. The previous calibration settings will
remain saved in memory.
DM-200 Instruction Manual Rev. 2.0 Page 20 of 40
Page 25
Model DM-200
Missing Sensor
If the ISM is missing or not connected properly, the UTM will report “Missing Sensor” and an output of 1.0
mA will be set.
Memory Fault
If new data points cannot successfully be retrieved from memory the display will indicate: “Memory Fault”.
Comm Error
If the ISM and UTM are not communicating properly, then the UTM will report “Comm Error”.
4. Service and Maintenance
4.1 Exchanging the ISM
A key feature of the UniTox™ product is its complete universality (exchangeability) between any combination
of ISM and UTM. The ISM carries all necessary identification and parameter data stored in permanent
memory, which allows for any ISM to instantly begin seamless operation with any UTM.
4.1.1 Physical Exchange
In order to remove an ISM, the user should twist the retaining collar in a counter clockwise direction. When
the threads are cleared, the ISM should be pulled straight out. To reinstall the ISM, first view the mating gold
pin pattern until proper alignment is achieved. Then press in the ISM until mechanical surfaces touch.
Finally, move the retaining collar up and thread clockwise until snug.
NOTE: Remember to twist the retaining collar tight after successful ISM/UTM
communication is established. The collar should tighten snugly up to the mating surface in
order to create a water tight seal. Never grab the ISM main housing and attempt to twist. This
may damage the gold pin connections.
4.1.2 Establishing Communication
The UTM will display "Missing Sensor" during time when the ISM is not connected. When an ISM is
disconnected from a UTM, the end-user must wait approximately 7 seconds before another ISM can be
plugged into the UTM. This 7 second period is the time required by the UTM to reach the "ready-to-receive"
state.
After plugging an ISM into the UTM, within 1-3 seconds the ISM identification/parameter information will be
displayed and at the conclusion of the data string a "Returning to Normal Operation" message will be
shown. If for some reason the ISM identification/parameter information does not come up after 10 seconds,
then unplug the ISM and repeat the process again after 10 seconds.
4.1.3 Maintaining "Biased" ISM’s using the Battery Back-up Module (Optional)
When and How to Use
Some electrochemical sensors are biased with an excitation voltage. When power to the ISM is lost, this bias
voltage slowly decays. When power is restored after long periods (multiple hours) of being un-powered, a
surge in sensor output takes place and a long and slow re-establishing of the sensor’s zero baseline takes place.
This re-stabilization time may range from 1 hour to 24 hours depending on the type of sensor and range of
operation. The sensor types that this applies to are the following: HCl, NO, plus all the VOC sensors, C2H30,
The Battery Back-up Module (Optional) has been designed to eliminate re-stabilization down-time by keeping
the ISM completely powered and in a 100% ready state. The Battery Back-up module has a service life of 1.5
years in continuous use.
It is recommended that the "biased" ISM types remain connected to the Battery Back-up Module when not in
use for long periods of time. While transporting a calibrated ISM from the office to the field, it is
recommended to use the Battery Back-up Module to eliminate re-stabilization time. However, for short
durations of 5-10 minutes or less in the un-powered state, it is not necessary to use the Battery Back-up
Module.
NOTE: The Battery Back-up Module can be used to warm-up a "biased" ISM that has been
un-powered. Plugging the ISM into the Battery Back-up Module for 24 hours prior to
calibration is recommended. The ISM plugs into the Battery Back-up Module in the same way
it plugs into the UTM. The gold pin pattern is aligned, pressed together, and the retaining
collar is tightened. Reverse instructions to remove.
Figure 15 ISM Battery Backup Module
4.2 Exchanging Electrochemical Sensors
If an electrochemical sensor exchange is necessary, due to poor sensor performance (See Trouble Shooting
Guide for details). The following procedure should be used.
Remove the ISM from UTM per Section 4.1
Loosen the l
housing, twist the sensor splashguard adapter counter-clockwise to remove. It may be secured very tight, so
some firm twisting will be required. Once removed the electrochemical sensor is exposed. To remove it, grab
the electrochemical sensor body and pull straight out.
Take your replacement electrochemical sensor and carefully verify that it is identical in gas type and part
number. This information is listed on the label of the electrochemical sensor. You may refer to Table 3 to
verify
the correct part number of replacement electrochemical sensors.

ocking setscrew in splashguard adapter. While firmly holding the center of the ISM main
Page 27
Model DM-200
NOTE: This is critical because each ISM is pre-set to accept a specific electrochemical sensor.
Take your replacement sensor and observe the gold pin mating pattern. Once aligned, press the
sensor into the sockets and replace the sensor rain cover with a firm twist to create the water
tight seal.
NOTE: If the sensor splashguard adapter cannot be removed, it maybe locked down by the
setscrew or may have been intentionally, permanently bonded in place. In this case, the entire
ISM must be replaced.

4.3 Display Contrast Adjust
Detcon UniTox™ sensors feature a 2-line, 16-character liquid crystal display. Like most LCDs, character
contrast can be affected by viewing angle and temperature. Temperature compensation circuitry included in
the UniTox™ design will compensate for this characteristic; however temperature or operating voltage
extremes may still cause a shift in the contrast. Display contrast can be adjusted by the user if necessary.
To adjust the display contrast, remove the enclosure cover, remove transmitter, and use a small screwdriver to
turn the blue contrast potentiometer adjust screw located on the side of the UTM circuit board (refer Figure 5).

Appendix A
Interference Table
Refer to Table 4 to match the interfering gas symbol with the gas name. Then refer to Table 5. The Cross
Interference Table extends for 5 pages, with each sensor specific gas repeated in each section of the table, for a
column listing of 40 gasses. The list is followed by a row of 14 possible interfering gasses per page. Review
each page for the applicable sensor gas and then scan across the row for possible interference gasses.
Specify Range: 0-1ppm = 001; 0-10ppm = 010; 0-25ppm = 025; 0-100ppm = 100; 0-1000ppm = 01K etc. Part numbers for replacement assemblies
listed in table include sensor cell as part of ISM package. If replacement of ISM only is required, Contact Detcon Sales or Service department for part
number needed.
