1. Introduction
1.1 Description
The Model 700 Remote Sensor/Alarm Relay Module with HART Interface (known as the HART Remote Alarm Module or HART-RAM) is sold separately as an accessory for Model 700 Series Gas Sensors. It is a universal design and can be used with any of the Model 700 Gas Sensors. The HART-RAM is provided in an explosion-proof junction box constructed of either epoxy-painted aluminum or 316 stainless steel and includes a glass-viewing window.
Figure 1 700 HART-RAM
The HART-RAM performs three functions: 1) The first function is to set gas alarm levels and to configure the three local relay contacts. 2) The second function is to provide a HART Interface to the Model 700 Gas Sensor 3) The third function is to operate a Model 700 Gas Sensor remotely. The remote sensor function is typically used when the sensor must be mounted in a position where it cannot be viewed or accessed readily. All three functions can be used at the same time.
1.2 Installation
The HART-RAM can be installed as a wall mount or pipe mount using the mounting holes of the explosion­proof junction box. It should be oriented such that the LED display is horizontal. If the 700 Gas Sensor is mounted directly to the HART-RAM, use 0.5” spacers underneath the mounting holes to provide access clearance for the 700 Gas Sensor (Figure 3).
NOTE: Block any unused ¾” NPT holes with the proper Plug. (Detcon P/N 8522-750)

The HART-RAM Electronics package consists of three printed circuit assemblies (PCAs). The top two PCAs (RAM display and HART Bridge) are accessed by removing the junction box cover and using the brass pull knobs to pull the package directly out of the enclosure. The bottom PCA (terminal board) will remain attached to the bottom of the junction box via two machine screws allowing the RAM display and HART Bridge to unseat from the 12-pin plug-in connector and providing access to the terminal board

connectors (Figure 5). To install the electronics package, properly align the plug-in connector and gently push the HART-RAM in until it is fully seated to the bottom PCA. The HART-RAM faceplate will be even with the top of the junction box when installed properly. The HART-RAM top should be flush with the top of the enclosure before screwing down the junction box cover.

1.3 Field Wiring
The field wiring connections are made to the bottom PCA (terminal board) of the HART-RAM using a series of connector blocks. There is a 6-pin terminal block for connection to the 700 Gas Sensor (labeled SENSOR), a 9-pin terminal block for connection to the 3 relay contacts (labeled RELAY OUTPUT), a 6-pin terminal block for connection of power, mA/HART output and Modbus™ interface to the host device (labeled IN) and a 6-pin terminal block for connection of power and Modbus™ interface to an additional device (labeled OUT).

The user will typically connect the 700 Gas Sensor directly to the HART-RAM if there is no requirement for remote sensor separation (Figure 6). In this case, the 700 sensor will not require its own junction box and it is not necessary to install/use the transient protection module shipped with the 700 sensor. The 700 sensor may arrive from the factory pre-assembled with the HART-RAM in the j-box, but only if it is ordered in this configuration. In this configuration, the wires from the 700 sensor will be directly connected to the 6-pin terminal block labeled “SENSOR” on the terminal board.
NOTE: If the 700 sensor and HART-RAM are directly connected, it is not necessary to install/use the transient protection module that is shipped with every 700 Gas Sensor.

If remote sensor separation is required, the HART-RAM will be separated from the 700 sensor. Remote separation distances of up to 1000 feet are possible with the recommended cables.
NOTE: It is highly recommended to install the interconnecting cabling inside rigid metal conduit to eliminate potential EMI and RFI interference.

The recommended cable for remote sensor separation is Belden 1502P (18AWG unshielded pair for power and 22AWG shielded twisted pair for serial Modbus™ communications). The mA signal return is not required.
NOTE: Only the 2-wire power cable (mA signal return is not required) and the 2-wire Modbus™ serial communications cable are required when remote wiring between the HART­RAM and the 700 Gas Sensor.
NOTE: The same recommended cables should be used for the connection between a Modbus™ master control device and the HART-RAM. However, if only the 4-20mA/HART signal is being used by the master/host controller, then Belden 8770 is recommended.
2. Operator Interface
The operator interface of the HART-RAM is very similar to the Model 700 Gas Sensor. It uses the identical LED display, same programming magnet, and has the same magnetic programming switches (PGM1/ZERO and PGM2/SPAN). The main difference is that the 700 HART-RAM has LED indicators for the 3 relays (ALM1, ALM2 and FAULT) and a CAL LED to indicate when the 700 sensor is in calibration.
The gas reading, gas units, and fault status reported by the HART-RAM will mimic that of the 700 Gas Sensor.
NOTE: If the Model 700 Gas Sensor is directly connected to the HART-RAM and junction box, then the gas sensor operation should be exercised through the 700 Gas Sensor (and not the HART-RAM). This is the recommended practice since the HART-RAM contains only a limited number of sensor operational control functions. If the HART-RAM and 700 Gas Sensor are separated, then normal remote gas sensor operation should be exercised through the HART-RAM.
The operating interface is menu-driven via the two magnetic program switches located under the target marks on the HART-RAM faceplate. The two switches are referred to as “PGM1” and “PGM2”. The menu list consists of three major items that include sub-menus as indicated below. (Refer to the complete Software Flow Chart Figure 8)

The user interface of the HART-RAM is designed to mimic that of the Model 700 Gas Sensor. However, only the functions deemed critical for normal remote sensor operation are available. These are the 5 menu functions that are available for the remote control of the 700 Gas Sensor:
AutoZero – used to perform AutoZero remotely AutoSpan – used to perform AutoSpan remotely, user is required to apply span gas flow to remote gas
sensor
View Program Status – displays the complete list of sensor status and diagnostic indicators Set AutoSpan Level – used to change the span gas concentration Signal Output Check – used to generate simulated outputs from the sensor for system diagnostic purposes
NOTE: For any other required operational changes, the 700 Gas Sensor must be accessed
directly.

3. Set-up and Normal Operation
In normal operation, the HART-RAM display continuously shows the current sensor reading, which will typically appear as “ 0 ”. Once every 1 minute the LED display will flash the sensor’s measurement units and gas type (i.e. % LEL). If the 700 Gas Sensor or HART-RAM is actively experiencing any diagnostic faults, a “Fault Detected” message will flash on the display once every minute. When the unit is in “Fault Detected” mode with the red Fault LED on, PGM1 or PGM2 can be swiped to invoke a display of the active faults.
In normal operation, the 4-20mA current output from the HART-RAM corresponds with the present gas concentration and full-scale range. The HART interface output, which is on the same wire as the 4-20mA output, provides the current gas reading, fault status and other sensor status on a continuous basis when polled.
If the Modbus™ communication between the HART-RAM and the 700 Gas Sensor is not functioning the HART-RAM will display “COMM” and the ‘FLT’ LED will be illuminated.
NOTE: The 700 Gas Sensor must be set to Serial ID = 01 for proper communications set-up with the HART-RAM.
3.1 View Sensor Status
View Sensor Status displays all current configurational and operational parameters from the 700 Gas Sensor
attached to it. These typically include sensor type, software version number, detection range, AutoSpan level, days since last AutoSpan, estimated remaining sensor life, sensor diagnostics, input voltage, 4-20mA output, and sensor ambient temperature.
To access the View Sensor Status menu, hold the magnet over PGM2 (ª) until the arrow prompt appears and then hold continuously for 3 seconds. This will display the View Sensor Status text scroll. From the View Sensor Status text scroll, hold the magnet over PGM1 (©) or PGM2 (ª) until the arrow prompt appears and then hold continuously for an additional 3 seconds. The display will scroll the complete list of sensor status parameters sequentially:
Current Software Version (of the HART-RAM) Sensor Model Type Range of Detection Serial ID address AutoSpan Level Days From Last AutoSpan Remaining Sensor Life Sensor Diagnostics (varies by sensor type) 4-20mA Output Input Voltage Supply Operating Temperature Alarm 1 Settings Alarm 2 Settings Fault Settings
When the sensor status list sequence is complete, the HART-RAM will revert to the “View Sensor Status” text scroll. The user can then choose to either: 1) review list again by executing another 3 second hold, 2) move to another menu item by executing a momentary hold, or 3) return to Normal Operation via 5 second automatic timeout.
700 HART-RAM I.M. Rev. 0.0 Page 7 of 24
700 HART-RAM I.M.
3.2 Set AutoSpan Level
Set AutoSpan Level is used to set the span gas concentration level that is being used to calibrate the sensor.
This level is adjustable from 10% to 100% of range. The current setting can be viewed in View Sensor Status.
The menu item appears as: “Set AutoSpan Level
From the Set AutoSpan Level text scroll, hold the magnet over PGM1 (©) or PGM2 (ª) until the arrow prompt appears and then hold continuously for an additional 3 seconds. The display will then switch to “XX“ (where XX is the current gas level). Swipe the magnet momentarily over PGM2 to increase or PGM1 to decrease the AutoSpan Level until the correct level is displayed. Hold the magnet over PGM1 or PGM2 for 3 seconds to accept the new value. The display will scroll “AutoSpan Level Saved”, and revert to “Set AutoSpan Level” text scroll.
The user can then choose to either: 1) move to another menu item by executing a momentary hold, or 2) return to Normal Operation via 5 second automatic timeout.
3.3 Set Serial ID
The HART-RAM can be polled via the Modbus™ interface. The HART-RAM Serial ID # should be set as a slave device to a master polling device. The Serial ID # of the HART-RAM is independent of the Serial ID # of the Model 700 Gas Sensor.
NOTE: The Serial ID # of the Model 700 Gas Sensor connected to the HART-RAM must be set to ID = 01 for proper communication between the two devices.
Set Serial ID is used to set the Modbus™ serial ID address of the HART-RAM. It is adjustable from 01 to 127 in hexadecimal format (01-7F hex). The current serial ID can be viewed in View Sensor Status using the instruction given in Section 3.1 View Sensor Status.
The menu item appears as: “Set Serial ID
From the “Set Serial ID” text scroll, hold the programming magnet over PGM1 (©) or PGM2 (ª) until the arrow prompt appears and then hold continuously for an additional 3 seconds. The display will then switch to “XX“ (where XX is the current ID address). Swipe the magnet momentarily over PGM2 to increase or PGM1 to decrease the hexadecimal number until the desired ID is displayed. Hold the magnet over PGM1 or PGM2 for 3 seconds to accept the new value. The display will scroll “New ID Saved”, and revert to “Set Serial ID” text scroll.
The user can then choose to either: 1) move to another menu item by executing a momentary hold, or 2) return to Normal Operation via 5 second automatic timeout.
3.4 Set-up for Relay Outputs
The user interface allows for the setting and configuration of the three relay contacts of the HART-RAM. The three relays can be optionally configured as follows:
Alarm 1: 1) gas level, 2) ascending/descending, 3) latching/non-latching and 4) energized/de-energized Alarm 2: 1) gas level, 2) ascending/descending, 3) latching/non-latching and 4) energized/de-energized Fault: 1) latching/non-latching and 2) energized/de-energized
700 HART-RAM I.M. Rev. 0.0 Page 8 of 24
700 HART-RAM I.M.
The three menu items for relay output set-up are Alarm1 Settings, Alarm2 Settings, and Fault Settings. They are used to set the gas alarm levels and relay status for ascending/descending, latching/non-latching, and energized/de-energized. The gas concentration level for alarms can be set between 1-95% of the full­scale range of the 700 Gas Sensor. The current relay configurational settings can be viewed in View Sensor Status menu.
Ascending/Descending - In ascending mode, the alarm will trigger when the gas concentration detected is greater than or equal to the alarm set point. In descending mode, the alarm will trigger when the gas concentration detected is lesser than or equal to the alarm set point.
Latching/Non-Latching - In latching mode, the relay remains active when the alarm status has cleared. In non-latching mode, the relay is deactivated when the alarm status is cleared.
Energized/De-Energized - In energized mode, the normally open contact is closed if the alarm level has not been reached. In non-energized mode, the normally open contact is open if the alarm level has not been reached. Energized mode provides for fail-safe operation since a loss of power or cable failure will cause the contact to be open.
The menu item appears as: “Alarm1 Settings
From the “Alarm1 Settings” text scroll, hold the magnet over PGM1 (©) or PGM2 (ª) until the arrow prompt appears and then hold continuously for an additional 3 seconds. The display will switch to “Set Level“ followed by XX (where XX is the current set-point level). Swipe the magnet momentarily over PGM2 to increase or PGM1 to decrease until the correct level is displayed. Hold the magnet over PGM1 or PGM2 for 3 seconds to accept the new value. The menu will then scroll “Saved”.
The display will then scroll “Set Ascending” and show “Yes” or “No”. Use a swipe of PGM1 to select choice (yes = ascending and no = descending). Use PGM1 for a 3 second hold to accept the selection. The menu will then scroll “Saved”.
The display will then scroll “Set Latching” and then show “Yes” or “No”. Use a swipe of PGM1 to select choice (yes = latching and no = non-latching). Use PGM1 for a 3 second hold to accept the selection. The menu will then scroll “Saved”.
The display will then scroll “Set Energized” and then show “Yes” or “No”. Use a swipe of PGM1 to select choice (yes = energized and no = non-energized). Then use PGM1 for a 3 second hold to accept the selection. The menu will then scroll “Saved”.
At this point, configuration settings for Alarm1 are complete and the menu will shift back to “Alarm1 Settings”. The user can then choose to either: 1) move to another menu item by executing a momentary hold at the end of the text scroll, or 2) return to Normal Operation via 5 second automatic timeout.
Follow the identical instructional sequence for the menu function “Alarm2 Settings”. The menu function for “Fault Settings” is similar except that it does not have a selection for gas level and ascending/descending. It only has choice selections for latching/non-latching and energized/de-energized).
NOTE: The Fault relay is typically set-up as energized so that it will change states during an unexpected power loss.
NOTE: The relay contacts can be wired at the HART-RAM’s connector PCA for either Normally Open or Normally Closed.

3.5 Signal Output Check
Signal Output Check provides a simulated 4-20mA output. The simulation allows the user to conveniently
perform a functional system check of the entire safety system, and can be initiated at the HART-RAM. This signal output simulation aids in performing troubleshooting of signal wiring problems.
This menu item appears as: “Signal Output Check” . From the “Signal Output Check” text scroll, hold the magnet over PGM1 (©) or PGM2 (ª) until the arrow prompt appears and then hold continuously for an additional 3 seconds. Once initiated, the display will continuously scroll “Simulation Active” until the function is stopped. During simulation mode, the 4-20mA value will be increased from 4.0mA to 20.0mA (in 1% of range increments at a 1 second update rate) and then decreased from 20.0mA to 4.0mA.
NOTE: Signal Output Check stays active indefinitely until the user stops the function. There is no automatic timeout for this feature.
To end simulation mode, hold magnet over PGM1 or PGM2 for 3 seconds. The display will revert to the “Signal Output Check” text scroll.
The user can then choose to either: 1) move to another menu item by executing a momentary hold, or 2) return to Normal Operation via 5 second automatic timeout.
4. HART Interface
The HART-RAM module provides an interface for a Model 700 gas sensor to a HART-enabled Network. HART technology is a master/slave protocol which allows a HART Master, such as a control system, to monitor the operation of the HART-RAM, and the Model 700 sensor attached to it. The HART-RAM functions as an intelligent HART Slave on the Network.
The HART-enabled host interfaces with the mA output of the HART-RAM which contains the HART signal. Power is provided through the 6-pin terminal block (labeled IN) located on the terminal board. (Figure 9).
NOTE: The 4-20mA signal from the HART-RAM must be connected to a load resistor to operate properly. If this signal is not terminated properly, the HART-RAM and the HART Interface will fail to work properly. Normal termination is accomplished by connection to the host device, which will have the correct load to terminate the signal properly.

5. HART Operation
When power is applied to the HART-RAM with the Model 700 sensor attached, the HART interface will go through a boot up sequence that will last for approximately 30 seconds. During this time, the 4-20mA line will be held at 1mA. After the boot up sequence the HART interface will enter normal operation, and communication with the Host will begin. A red LED (D7) labeled “HART” on the HART Bridge PCA will illuminate when the PCA is communicating with the HART Host.
The 4-20mA signal from the HART-RAM must be connected to a load resistor for HART communication to operate properly. If this signal is not terminated properly, the HART-RAM and the HART Interface will fail to work. Normal termination for the 4-20mA signal is accomplished by connection to a Host device, which will have the correct load to terminate the signal properly.
If the HART-RAM senses a fault in the sensor, it will take the 4-20mA signal down to 1mA. This 1mA signal will signify to the Host that a sensor fault has occurred, and the Host should, in turn, flag an error with the associated sensor.
The HART-RAM communicates with the Model 700 sensor through the Modbus™. The HART-RAM reads the appropriate Modbus™ register and creates the 4-20mA signal from the register reading. This allows the HART-RAM complete control of the HART Communications. A red LED (D6) labeled “MODBUS” on the HART Bridge PCA will blink when communication with the sensor occurs.
The HART interface has the ability to take the sensor into calibration. If the sensor is taken into calibration via the HART interface, the HART Communication Protocol will inform the Host that the sensor is in calibration mode, and will not set a fault. The 4-20mA signal will be set at 2mA. Starting a calibration using the sensor interface and magnetic tool will also cause the 4-20mA to be set to 2mA.

6. HART Operator Interface
The HART-RAM provides the ability to interface with the sensor via the HART Interface. The HART interface Host can be a PC, a Laptop, or several handheld devices such as the Emerson 375 Field Communicator. Although the displays on each device may be different and the menu names may change, the information provided should be the same. The HART Interface consists of three basic Menus, each with a subset of menus or screens:
Device Variables Menu Primary Variables Identification Diagnostics Menu Device Status Sensor Status Device Status Menu Configuration Setup Calibration HART Setup
Note: The screen shots shown below are taken from the HART Communication Foundation SDC625 Reference Host. The user’s screen appearance may be different depending on the HART host used.
6.1 Device Menu
6.1.1 Primary Variables
The primary Variable Screen contains the basic information from the sensor and is broken into four basic sections. None of these variables are changeable, and are directly read from the sensor.

6.3.2 Calibration
The Calibration screen displays the days since the last calibration, and the auto span level. This screen also allows the user to calibrate the sensor by performing an Auto Zero Calibration and an Auto Span Calibration. Calibration of the sensor using this feature also notifies the Host that the sensor is in calibration mode.
Figure 14 FP Calibration Screen
6.3.2.1 Sensor Calibration using the HART-RAM
Calibration of a sensor using the HART-RAM follows the same principle as calibrating the sensor via the magnetic interface. Since most of the calibration information can be found in the associated sensors manual, it is important to have the sensor manual on hand when performing sensor calibration.
Each sensor type has different criteria that need to be met before calibration of the sensor should be performed. Refer to the appropriate sensor manual for specific information on gas to be used, flow rates, interference gas, cross calibration gas, and other sensor specific criteria.
NOTE: The TP sensor does not perform an Auto Zero function. Although the menu may provide this option, the test is invalid, and is not performed.
700 HART-RAM I.M. Rev. 0.0 Page 18 of 24

Auto Zero
Auto Zero function is used to zero the sensor. Local ambient air can be used to zero most sensors as long as there are no traces of target or interference gases. If this cannot be confirmed, then a zero air or N used. N
must be used for zero calibration of O2 deficiency sensors.

Auto Zero consists of entering “Autozero Cal” and following the menu-displayed instructions.
1. If applicable install the Calibration Adapter or Splash Guard Adapter with integral Cal Port.
2. If applicable connect zero gas to the cal port.
3. Select “Autozero Cal” from the Sensor Calibration section of the screen.
4. Upon entering Auto Zero Calibration the procedure will prompt to begin Auto Zero Calibration. If zero
gas is to be applied to the sensor, apply the gas.
NOTE: Upon entering calibration the 4-20mA signal drops to 2mA and is held at this level until the program returns to normal operation.
5. The procedure will prompt to verify that no gas is present, and the sensor will perform Auto Zero.
NOTE: The sensor will scroll “Zero Cal . . . Setting Zero . . . Zero Saved” twice.
6. After successfully setting Zero Cal the sensor and the HART Interface will return to Automatic Mode.
7. Remove the zero gas and calibration adapter if applicable.
Auto Span
The Auto Span function is used to calibrate the sensor. Unless otherwise specified by the associated sensor manual, span calibration is recommended at 50% of range.
Material Requirements:
Handheld Communicator or PC and interface for HART-RAM.
Detcon PN 613-120000-700 Model 700 Splash Guard with integral Cal Port. -OR-
Detcon PN 943-000006-132 Threaded Calibration Adapter
Detcon Span Gas (See Detcon for Ordering Information). Recommended span gas is 50% of range with
target gas. Other suitable span gas sources containing the target gas in air or N
balance may be

acceptable.
NOTE: Refer to the appropriate sensor manual for information regarding Span Gas, flow rates, cross interference, or other sensor specific criteria.
700 HART-RAM I.M. Rev. 0.0 Page 19 of 24
700 HART-RAM I.M.
Auto Span consists of entering “Autospan Cal” and following the display. The procedure will ask for the application of span gas. The applied gas concentration must be equal to the Autospan gas level setting. The factory default setting and recommendation for span gas concentration is normally 50% of range. If a span gas containing the recommended concentration is not available, other concentrations may be used as long as they fall between 5% and 100% of range. However, any alternate span gas concentration value must be set in the “Auto Span Level” field before proceeding with “Autospan cal”.
CAUTION:
Verification that the calibration gas level setting matches the calibration span gas concentration is required before executing “Autospan Cal”. These two numbers must be equal. Refer to the appropriate sensor manual for more information.
1. If applicable install the Calibration Adapter or Splash Guard Adapter with integral Cal Port.
2. Verify that the Auto Span Level is equal to the calibration span gas concentration. If the Auto Span
Level is not equal to the Calibration span gas concentration, adjust the Auto Span Level.
3. Connect the Cal Gas to the sensor, but do not apply the gas.
4. Select “Autospan Cal” from the Sensor Calibration section of the screen.
NOTE: Upon entering calibration the 4-20mA signal drops to 2mA and is held at this level until the program returns to normal operation.
5. Upon entering the procedure the procedure will prompt to begin Auto Span Calibration.
6. The procedure will prompt to apply span gas. Apply span gas from the attached cal gas cylinder and
respond to the prompt.
NOTE: The sensor reading will respond to the gas and will switch to displaying a flashing “XX”.
NOTE: Assuming acceptable sensor signal change, after 1 minute the reading will auto-adjust to the
programmed Auto Span level. During the next 30 seconds, the Auto Span sequence checks the sensor for acceptable reading stability. If the sensor fails the stability check, the reading is re-adjusted back to the Auto Span level and the cycle repeats until the stability check is passed. Up to three additional 30-second stability check periods are allowed before the unit reports a “Stability Fault” twice and the sensor will return to normal operation, aborting the Auto Span sequence. The sensor will continue to report a “Stability Fault” and will not clear the fault until a successful Auto Span is completed.
NOTE: If the sensor passes the stability check, the sensor reports a series of messages: “Span OK” Sensor Life XXX%” Remove Span Gas”
NOTE: When calibrating O2 deficiency sensors, there is no requirement to clear to <5% of range. The sensor will return to normal operation immediately after span adjustment.
7. When the sensor passes calibration the procedure will prompt to remove the span gas. Unsuccessful
completion of the span calibration will create a Global Fault, and “Autospan Cal” will be aborted with a change to the HART Sensor Status (refer to section 6.2.2 Sensor Status).
8. After successfully setting span cal the sensor and the HART Interface will return to Automatic Mode.
9. The Auto Span Calibration is complete
10. Remove the cal gas and calibration adapter if applicable.
NOTE 1: If the sensor fails the minimum signal change criteria, a “Range Fault” will be declared and a “Fault Detected” message will be displayed alternately on the sensor with the current reading. The HART Sensor Status will change to reflect a Range Fault.
700 HART-RAM I.M. Rev. 0.0 Page 20 of 24
700 HART-RAM I.M.
NOTE 2: If the sensor fails the stability criteria, a “Stability Fault” will be declared and a “Fault Detected
message will be displayed alternately on the sensor with the current reading. The HART Sensor Status will change to reflect a Sensor Fault.
NOTE 3: If the sensor fails the clearing time criteria, a “Clearing Fault” will be declared and a “Fault Detected” message will be displayed alternately on the sensor with the current reading. The HART Sensor
Status will change to reflect a Clearing Fault.
6.3.2.2 Loop Test Calibrate
The Calibration Screen contains a Loop Test Calibration section. This section displays the loop current reading and allows the user to perform D/A trim and Loop Test. D/A trim is used to calibrate the 4mA and 20mA set points in the Digital/Analog converter. Loop test allows the user to set the mA output to any level within range; this can be a good troubleshooting tool for line degradation. A DVM capable of reading milliamps and a 100~250 Ohm resistor are required to perform D/A trim and/or Loop test.
