1.0 Introduction

1.1 Warnings and Cautions

The MX-2100 gas detectors are designed to detect hazardous atmospheric conditions. An indication of life threatening hazards should be taken very seriously. NEVER ignore an alarm condition.

Read this manual completely before engaging in field use of this instrument.

ARNINGS

OTE

• Any rapid upscale combustible gas reading followed by a declining or erratic reading may indicate a gas concentration

beyond the upper-scale limit. This may indicate a flammable concentration.

• Off-scale readings may indicate a flammable concentration.

• Electromagnetic interference (EMI) signals may cause incorrect operation.

• Before each day’s usage, instrument sensitivity should be tested on a known concentration of methane between 25-50%

LEL. Accuracy must be within –0 to +20% of the actual concentration applied. Accuracy may be corrected, if necessary, by performing sensor calibration.

• Oxygen deficient conditions can cause lower combustible gas readings than actual concentrations.

• Oxygen enriched conditions can cause higher combustible gas readings than actual concentrations.

• The instrument batteries should only be charged in a non-hazardous location.

• The instrument should only be connected to a computer in a non-hazardous location.

AUTIONS

Any sensor that fails calibration procedures should be replaced and recalibrated immediately. Users may refer to ANSI/ISA RP12.13 or an equivalent international recommended practice for guidance in the use of

combustible gas detection equipment.

MX-2100 instruments have an approval for Intrinsic Safety and are suitable for use in Hazardous Location environments.

• In case of an atmospheric alarm condition, follow your organization’s established procedures for such a situation.

Evacuating the affected area is usually the first course of action, followed by ventilation and re-testing of the environment prior to re-entry.

• Do Not store the instrument with the calibration cover, part number 02612-003, attached. Damage to the sensor may

occur.

• Silicone compound vapors may adversely affect the MX-2100 instrument’s standard combustible sensor causing lower

readings than actual concentrations. If the instrument has been exposed to silicone vapors it is strongly recommended that the instrument be recalibrated prior to its next use. Repeated exposure to silicone compounds will prematurely destroy the standard combustible sensor.

• The sensor sampling area must be kept clean. Contamination of this area can prevent proper operation of the sensors.

• Never start the calibration procedure unless the corresponding cylinder of gas is available. Scrolling through the

calibration menu without applying corresponding gas will cause the installed sensor to be out of calibration and showing a Fault condition. If instrument is new or otherwise in proper working order, this problem can only be corrected by performing the complete calibration procedure with proper calibration gas.

: All specifications stated in this manual may change without notice.

AUTION

: The instrument must be turned off when removing and inserting sensors. Failure to do so may cause damage to the

instrument or sensor.

This removable, interchangeable and intelligent cell unit can detect explosive gases in the range 0 to 100% LEL. It must be positioned in the MX-2100 as indicated in Figure 2 below. These removable, interchangeable and intelligent cell units are fitted with an electrochemical cell and electronic components, including an EEPROM memory which stores the cell's specific characteristics (measuring range, various correction coefficients, STEL and TWA alarms, date of manufacture, serial number, etc.). Another item of data called the "wear rate" is used by the MX-2100 to automatically determine the optimal time to replace the cell. These types of cell unit are therefore also referred to as "Smart Block". They are positioned as indicated in Figure 2 The MX-2100 is power-supplied by a rechargeable battery pack (NiMH) or nonrechargeable AAA alkaline batteries. Under normal operating conditions, battery life varies according to the configuration (sensors) and the power supply (rechargeable or non-rechargeable batteries).

Typical battery life is approximately 14 hours. The MX-2100 is supplied with an intelligent battery charger. Average charging time is

about 2 hours and 30 minutes. See Section 3.9 for more information on the battery charger.

The MX-2100 is supplied with charge base with a charge jack to attach the battery charger. That attaches to the top of the instrument

The MX-2100 is supplied with calibration cover with a quick release fitting for attaching calibration adapter. See Sections 4.3 and 4.4 for calibration information.

AUTION

: Do Not leave the calibration cover attached to the instrument when not in use. Doing so may cause damage to the

sensors.

the display in the last position will alternate. If there are no toxic sensors, the Oxygen and Combustible measurements will be displayed at the top of the display.

3.1 Turning On MX-2100

AUTION

: Before turning on the MX-2100, check that the necessary sensors are connected.

When you turn the instrument on, you have a choice of two procedures:

•

A standard procedure used in most cases,

•

A procedure allowing you to select a reference explosive gas, this procedure being useful when checking for a specific gas

methane, butane, ethane etc.

3.1.1 Turning on in standard mode

Briefly press the "Enter" switch. The instrument carries out a visual, audio and vibration self-test phase for a few seconds and indicates:

 The ENMET logo,  Current measurements.

Standard Instruments CO, H2S, O2, CH4 (Methane)

OTE

: During normal operation, a visual and audio signal indicates that the MX-2100 is operating correctly. This signal

interval can be modified or disabled, as required, using COM2100 software program.

3.1.2 Selection of Combustible Gas Display During Power-Up

1. Hold down the Audio or Backlight Switch.

2. Switch on the instrument by pressing the Enter Switch.

3. Release the Audio/Backlight Switch.

The display shows the ENMET logo for a few seconds while it performs its self-tests. It then displays the list of preprogrammed gases, with the currently selected gas in the dark field.

4. Choosing a new reference gas:

•

Each time you press the Audio switch, the list scrolls downwards and, each time you press the Backlight switch, the list scrolls upwards. Thirty-one reference gases are preprogrammed in the range 0-100% LEL (or 0-5% volume CH4). A thirty-second (32) "Other" lets you select a gas according to your specific requirements. The data specific to that gas are entered in the workshop.

•

Confirm the choice: when the chosen gas is displayed, press the ENTER switch. The instrument advances to "Testing" mode, as described in the previous section, before going on to the working phase.

The instrument is ready to use.

If you do not confirm any gas, after a certain time, the MX-2100 switches to the test phase and to the normal scanning phase without changing the reference gas.

•

If the tests are unsatisfactory, the instrument switches to alarm mode (rapid pulsating audio signal and flashing light).

OTE

: The chosen “reference gas” will be retained as the chosen gas until a different reference gas is chosen.

3.2 Turning Off MX-2100

The instrument is turned off by holding down the ENTER switch for 3 seconds. During this time, the countdown Stop, 3, 2, 1 is shown on the display, at the bottom, while the instrument is shutting down. When the instrument is turned off, the stored values (sensor adjustment data, alarm thresholds, histogram, etc.) are not lost. The theoretical storage time for these values is two years (provided that the main batteries are never discharged). When the instrument is returned to the workshop, it is useful to recharge the batteries or to print out the exposure histograms.

3.3 Display Backlight

Measurements can be read in dark places by pressing the Backlight switch. The display is then lit up in so the data can be read easily. This backlight is automatically deactivated after 30 seconds. The lighting function can be used in hazardous locations, i.e. containing explosive gases, as the MX-2100 is intrinsic safe. The display backlight is automatically activated in case of alarm or fault.

This is the access to the MX-2100 maintenance mode. To enter the maintenance mode See Section 4.0 If code entered is incorrect the instrument will return to normal operating mode.

To exit the list before the end: press the Audio switch to return to the normal operation mode.

3.5 Alarms

Visual alarms: messages in uncoded mode on the display, indicator lights Audio alarms: buzzer and vibrator.

Types of alarms:

• Alarm 1: two-tone slow

• Alarm 2: two-tone fast

• Fault: single-tone

3.5.1 Gas Alarms

Depending on the programming used and the type of gas, the "gas alarms" can be triggered on exceeding a preset value:

•

2 instantaneous thresholds per channel for Combustible, Toxic or Oxygen. These thresholds are adjustable.

See Table 4 for factory settings

•

High and low thresholds on Oxygen channel (2 low thresholds on option),

•

1 instantaneous threshold on the Catharometric channel, if installed,

•

Exposure limit (STEL) corresponding to a sliding average over 15 minutes for each channel equipped with a toxic gas sensor,

•

Mean exposure (TWA) corresponding to a sliding average over eight hours for each channel equipped with a toxic gas sensor.

As soon as the predefined alarm thresholds are exceeded on at least one channel, the MX-2100 triggers an audio and light signal. The alarm message or messages (FAULT, ALARM, TWA, STEL, min., etc.) and the measurement value in the corresponding field appear on the display.

3.5.2 Fault Alarms

Faults can be classified into two categories:

•

Faults concerning sensors: out of range, worn sensor, request for calibration in case of a major deviation during auto-

adjustment. These faults generate individual messages shown on the relevant quadrant of the display, a visual alarm and a continuous audio alarm.

•

Faults concerning the instrument itself (discharged batteries or electronic fault). The corresponding fault message appears at

the bottom of the display. It takes priority over all other messages concerning the sensors.

Table 1: Examples of Fault Alarms

•

The batteries must be charged.

•

The remaining battery life is about 20 minutes after which the instrument will

automatically shut down.

•

This alarm cannot be acknowledged, only the audio signal can be cancelled.

•

This can only occur on the combustible channel.

outside range"

 The display in the quadrant concerned is frozen,  It is impossible to acknowledge the continuous audio signal,  The general alarm indicator lights come on in steady mode.

•

Normal operating conditions can be restored by stopping

and restarting the MX-2100, in a clean environment.

•

This occurs when the level of combustible gas exceeds 100%LEL. Extreme care must

be taken. Follow appropriate safety precautions under these conditions.

•

Readings are more then 20% of scale in a negative direction,

•

Readings are more then 120% for toxic gas and oxygen.

•

Automatic adjustment of the zero is impossible owing to, for example, excessive

deviation of the zero on the sensor.

•

Replace the sensor concerned.

3.5.3 Acknowledging Alarms

Acknowledging Gas Alarms:

This does not cancel the gas alarm but only the audio signal. When the Audio switch is pressed: The fast audio alarm is stopped but the alarm indicator light continues flashing until the measurement is lower than the

programmed alarm threshold. The visual signal is automatically disappears as soon as the measurement returns within the defined limits.

A function to re-activate the audio alarm, if the alarm condition persists for a given time, is available with COM2100 software.

Acknowledging Fault Alarms:

It is impossible to acknowledge a fault alarm. Fault alarms are cleared automatically as soon as the fault has disappeared.

Page 12

MX2100 ENMET Corporation

3.6 Measurements

All the instantaneous measurements regarding gases are displayed simultaneously and continuous. The display is divided into four separate fields (quadrants). See Figure 3. The following information can be read:

• Measurement which is displayed continuously,

• The measuring unit preceding the gas symbol.

In normal operation mode in ambient air, measurement is continuously displayed.

OTE

: Due to cross sensitivities some types of toxic gas sensors are not compatible or reading may be affected.

Example: • Non-compatible: H2S & NO2, and NO2 & SO2.

• Cross sensitive: CL2 & NO2, and NO & NO2. For further information contact you local ENMET Corporation distributor or ENMET Corporation.

3.6.1 Using the MX-2100 in Diffusion Mode

ARNING

3.6.2 Using the MX-2100 in Remote Sampling Mode

MX-2100 sensors must always be unobstructed in order to be able to carry out the measurements correctly.

If obstructed, gas readings could be underestimated and could be fatal to the user.

The persons using the instrument can:

•

Use MX-2100 as a stationary monitor by placing the MX-2100 in the vertical position.

According to the type of gas to be detected or liable to be present, the instrument should be placed:

On the ground in order to detect heavy gases (H2S),

At mid-height (about one meter above the ground) or at the outlet of a ventilation port for general detection of a maximum gas

level or monitoring of oxygen,

In a high position for the detection of light gases (hydrogen, methane etc.).

•

Use MX-2100 as portable instrument, taking measurements at various locations with a sampling system.

The MX-2100 is fitted with a belt clip or an optional harness can be used. These accessories avoid the sensors being placed against clothing, so that the gas exchange openings are unobstructed.

OTE

: The detection of some types of gases requires, or are enhanced by, the use of a motorized sampling pump module.

Example: CL2 requires a sampling pump module while HCL, SO2 and NO2 responses are enhanced. For further information contact you local ENMET Corporation distributor or ENMET Corporation. Consult ENMET Corporation regarding monitoring of HF and Ozone.

The MX-2100 can be equipped with a sampling system to measure gas concentrations either in normally inaccessible locations or before entering places which may be contaminated by gas (such as tanks, sewers or tunnels).

When using Sampler systems:

•

Wait for the measurements to stabilize. There may be either overestimated (combustible gases) or underestimated (oxygen)

during sampling because of the movement of air.

•

When an electric pump is used, wait a few seconds before reading the measurement. Approximately 1 second for every foot

of tubing or sampling wand. Any fault in the pumping system will be indicated by an audio alarm and the display.

When using a manual pumping systems:

Before taking a reading, wait for the measurements to stabilize. They may be inaccurate while using a hand aspirator due to pressure fluctuations during each squeeze of the bulb, either overestimated (explosive gases) or underestimated (oxygen) during manual pumping (with bulb) owing to the movement of air and the bleeding of the system.

AUTION

: If fluids are a possibility in the area to be sampled it is recommended that a hydrophobic filter be added to the sample

pump to prevent fluid from entering the instrument.

3.6.3 Storing histogram measurements

The MX-2100 can store measurements so they can be restored later on a computer. The Histograms function in the COM2100 software program can be used to output values and events stored by MX-2100

during its operating period to a computer. Resetting of the data contained in the histogram memory can only be performed with a computer. Turning off the MX-2100 has no effect on stored data.

Operating principle:

To make the best possible use of the data output when histograms are printed, you must understand the operating principle of data storage.

Page 13

MX2100 ENMET Corporation

Items Stored

The MX-2100 stores sets of data when it is turned on and then as it cycles measurements in normal operation mode. Each of these data sets has the same structure and contains the following:

•

The average measurement of concentrations on each sensor in operation over a preprogrammed duration (one sampling

operation per second);

•

The events on each channel:

- resetting,

- fault,

- instantaneous or average alarms,

- types of maintenance requested (programming, calibration, sensor replacement),

- date and time,

- battery in discharged state,

- auto-adjustment request,

- maintenance function request.

Memory Capacity:

As the physical memory of the MX-2100 is limited, the number of measurements that can be stored is also limited and, therefore, so is the operating time.

If the quantity of data to be stored exceeds the MX-2100 storage capacity, the oldest data are lost. In other words, the memory freed is used to store new data. First in – First out.

Readable items The instrument calculates a mean value over a one-minute period for each channel in service and for each second. These averaged data are stored in memory. The MX-2100 serial port can be used to connect:

•

A PC type computer to read the measurement mean values.

Data Storage Time

The data stored by the MX-2100 are stored even if the instrument is not used for a long time (out of service).

3.7 Optional Functions Via COM 2100 Software

This software is used to supervise and maintain the MX-2100:

- display, in uncoded mode, of measurements and parameters on channels,

- diagnostic assistance in case of failure,

- programming of the instrument and measuring channels,

- management of options,

- calibration of channels by automated dropdown menu,

- output of status and check sheet,

- management, display and printout of events and measurements stored,

- protection by password. See Section 5.0

The MX-2100 can be connected to a computer via a cable equipped with an infrared port that is plugged into the charger module.

3.7.1 Printing Data

The data stored in memory can be printed on a printer connected to a computer. MX-2100 connected directly to a computer by a cord equipped with an infrared link: a "charger or pumping" module can be

used to hold the infrared system on the instrument.

3.7.2 Location Function

If the instrument is equipped with optional "Location" function, a list of names can be preprogrammed using the COM 2100 software and it can be consulted manually via the pushbutton switches.

In the list of parameters, when displaying Current location and the name used, you can then confirm another name, as follows:

- Current location / name,

- Enter,

- Scrolling through preprogrammed list downwards or upwards with Audio and Backlight switches:

- Enter (to confirm the new name),

- Acknowledge (to return to normal mode).
