Product Description
The Series S1501 system is a microprocessor based alarm, shutdown, and control system
with tachometer/hourmeter function. It tells in alphanumeric characters which protective device
has signaled an alarm or caused equipment shutdown. Application programming is completed
at Murphy and can be changed in the field.
The system consists of:
S1501 Head
Power Supply - explosion proof
Terminal Block Assembly, rail mount type, accommodates 32 sensors (2 needed for 64
sensor models)
Flat Ribbon Cable - 36 inch (914 mm) to connect the terminal block to the head.
The S1501 is powered from 120 VAC or 12/24 VDC. It is approved for Class I, Div. 1, Groups
C & D areas.
S1501 Head
The Head is the brain of the micro-controller system. It contains a microcomputer, an
alphanumeric display and keypad for operator access to field adjustable functions, and a
communication port: RS232 or RS485 (Modbus RTU slave). This port allows for remote
control functions such as Start/Stop, Load/Unload, etc., and for access to S1501 data
registers.
Alphanumeric Display
The S1501 Head displays each mode of operation. The display is a dot matrix alphanumeric
32-character display arranged in two lines (each with 16 characters). By observing the monitor,
the operator can determine the operating status of the control system.
Power Supply
An explosion-proof enclosure designed for Class I, Division 1, Groups C & D hazardous
locations contains the supply voltage conditioning circuits, head power supply, and the
intrinsically safe barriers for isolation between the power supply and the low energy head
circuits. The power supply accepts 120 VAC, 50-60 Hz and/or 12-24 VDC input power.
12-24 VDC power can be used as primary power or as a backup source of power when
120 VAC is used.
Section 50 00-02-0271
2018-10-23 - 1 -
Control Relays
The power supply has seven control relays to provide form “C” SPDT outputs for control
functions of either the engine or electric motor application.
Terminal Block Assembly
Each sensor input terminal block consists of a 64-position, 32 pair input rail-mount terminal
block for interface of panel or field-mounted end devices. For Class I Division 1 areas, end
devices must be non-energy storing devices, such as mechanical switches with dry contacts.
The terminal block is used for Normally Open sensors (one wire close to ground), and/or
Normally Closed sensors (two wires).
Ribbon Cable
A 36 in. (914 mm) flat ribbon cable is required for connection of the S1501 head and the
sensor input terminal block. The cable is supplied with two D-sub 37 PIN connectors at each
end of the cable.
Power and Control Cable
The S1501 is connected to the power supply via the Power and Control Cable
(15-conductor shielded cable, 72 in. [1.81 m] long). The cable is factory-sealed on the power
supply end, and has a 15-pin, D-sub connector on the S1501 Head end.
Sensor Inputs
User-selectable Sensor Input types (Shutdown or Alarm Only) are available for each sensor.
The sensor inputs are identified as follows:
Class A: Inputs are operative (armed) all the time.
Class B1: Inputs are enabled after the first preset Start-Run time period.
Class B2: Inputs are enabled after the second preset Start-Run time period.
Class C: Inputs are armed after the fault has been cleared for 2 seconds.
Class P: Armed after the Load Relay has exergized and the process time has expired.
Class ESD: Emergency Stop overrides the test lockout timer.
Permissive Function
This function was designed to monitor pre-lube pressure input. Terminal 32 of the sensor
terminal block is reserved for a permissive pre-lube input. The pressure signal can be obtained
from a pressure switch with normally open or normally closed contacts that indicates whether
or not sufficient oil pressure has been reached during pre-lubing. If permissive pressure has
not been reached, the system will not allow start-up. If the Permissive Function is not required,
install a wire jumper in Terminal 32 and set the Permissive Timer setting at zero.
Section 50 00-02-0271
2018-10-23 - 2 -
Opto-Isolated Tach/Run Input
The S1501 features an opto-isolated tach/run input located within the explosion-proof power
supply. This special input is used for Run Input Sensing from a CD ignition, Magnetic Pickup,
Motor Auxiliary Signal, or AC or DC run signals meeting the opto-isolated Tach/Run input
specifications (refer to the Specifications section of this manual).
NOTE: For tachometer sensing a magnetic pickup is recommended.
Built-In Barrier (within the Power Supply)
The S1501 power supply circuit is isolated from the Head by the intrinsically safe barrier
located on the printed circuit board (power supply enclosure), between the power supply
output and the power and control cable terminal block.
A fuse barrier mounted inside the Power Supply isolates the power output to the Head. Zener
diode shunt barriers isolate the seven control outputs from the Head.
Hourmeter
A hourmeter feature is available for the S1501 to record the engine or motor elapsed running
time.

Installation
WARNING: Perform the mounting operation with power source off.
The S1501 Head was designed to be mounted within a
weatherproof enclosure. It is intended for mounting in a flat panel.
First, cut a square mounting hole of 3-5/8 in. (92 mm) x 3-5/8 in. (92 mm).
Insert the Head from the front side of the panel and install the two mounting clamps, one on
each side of the case, (see mounting clamp detail).
Secure the unit to the panel by tightening the clamps with a blade type screwdriver.

Editing System Set Up
Timer Set Up Menu
There are a number of Timers that the S1501 system uses to carry out the start/stop
sequencing. With all shutdowns cleared, and the S1501 at the “Waiting On Start” prompt, press the ■ MODE key to gain access to the Timer Setup Menu.
TIMER SETUP
Permissive x:xx
This displays the timer preset in MM:SS format. Press ▲ UP/YES or ▼ DOWN/NO keys to
increase or decrease the time. Press ■ RESET to zero the timer. Press ■ ENTER to accept
and save the setting and advance to the next timer.
Repeat the procedure to preset all available timers.
NOTE: To bypass a particular function, zero out the corresponding timer.
For example, to bypass Prelube, zero out the Prelube timer.
Permissive x:xx
During the Prelube cycle, this is the preset time by which the Permissive input must be seen
closed (NC system) or ungrounded (NO system). If the Permissive input is not satisfied, when
the timer expires, a Permissive Failure fault shutdown will occur.
NOTE: Terminal 32 is dedicated for the Permissive Pressure Input. To
bypass this function, install a jumper at terminal 32.
Prelube x:xx
During the Prelube cycle, this is the preset time for which the Lube relay remains energized
after the Permissive input is satisfied, prior to starting.
Purge Delay x:xx
Timer to purge excess fuel out of the engine on a crank attempt. The Crank relay is energized
with the fuel valve relay de-energized and the ignition relay de-energized.
Fuel Delay x:xx
Timer to delay energizing the fuel valve relay on a crank attempt to burn unspent fuel. The
ignition relay is energized during this time.
Crank x:xx
Time duration for the crank attempt after energizing the crank, ignition, and fuel valve relays.
Rest x:xx
Time duration for the Crank Rest period after the Crank period expires. However, if the
specified number of Crank attempts is exhausted, an Overcrank Shutdown occurs.
Run Delay x:xx
Section 50 00-02-0271
2018-10-23 - 18 -
In Electric Motor applications (Pulses/rev = 0), this is the timer to gain the Motor Starter
Auxiliary Run signal, after energizing the motor relay. If this signal is not seen before this timer
expires, a “Motor Starter Failure” shutdown will occur.
In Engine applications (Pulses/rev > 0), this is the timer to gain RPM reading > 10 before the
Ignition and Fuel relays are energized. If this signal is not seen before this timer expires, an
“Engine Failure To Crank” shutdown will occur. If set to 0, this RPM permissive is ignored.
Class-B1 x:xx
This timer locks out sensor inputs configured as Class B1 on startup.
Class-B2 x:xx
This timer locks out sensor inputs configured as Class B2 on startup.
Load x:xx
This timer delays energizing of the Load relay after starting, and is typically used as a warmup
time.
Process x:xx
This timer locks out sensor inputs configured as class P after energizing the Load relay. This
is typically used for Process alarms and shutdowns which do not clear until the unit has
loaded.
Idle x:xx
This timer determines the length of time the system will run after de-energizing the Load relay
after a stop signal is received. This is typically used for a Cooldown time period for the
equipment.
Ign. Gnd. x:xx
In Engine applications (Pulses/rev > 0), this is the delay between de-energizing the fuel valve
relay and de-energizing the ignition relay. This allows remaining fuel in the line to be burned
off, prior to disabling the ignition system.
Postlube x:xx
After a stop or shutdown fault (non-ESD) this is the time for which the Lube relay will be
energized for a postlube cycle.
Cooler Dly x:xx
In Electric Motor applications ((Pulses/rev = 0), this timer delays energizing the cooler relay
after energizing the motor relay to reduce inrush current imposed on the power source for the
AC motors.

when the L-O-R switch is placed in the Local position and the Start-Stop key is pressed OR the
L-O-R is placed in the Remote position, and the Remote Start signal is seen. A valid Stop
occurs when the L-O-R switch is placed in the OFF position, OR of in the Remote position and
a Remote Stop is seen.
Remote Start-Stop
Jumper installed in TB31. A valid sequence occurs when a Remote Start signal is seen.
Likewise, a valid stop occurs when the Remote Stop signal is seen.
Maintain Start
Jumper installed in TB31. A valid sequence occurs when the Maintain Start signal is seen.

Typical Start/Stop Wiring
Modbus Start/Stop and Reset
The S1501 system can be started and stopped remotely through the
Modbus communications port (RS232/RS485 serial port). Writing a “1”
to the start/stop register (40010) will initiate a start. Writing a “Ø” to the
start /stop register will initiate a stop. Writing “Ø” to the shutdown status
register (40004) will cause a reset.

Troubleshooting
WARNING: Do NOT open power supply until operations have been
shut down and area has been rendered non-hazardous. Do NOT run
sensor wires in conduit with any other wire. Do NOT apply voltage
to any annunciator input terminals. Do NOT bundle sensor wires
with any other wiring. Make sure the voltage and current
requirements are within the S1501 system ratings.
Before going through the checklist below, refer to the connections and operation procedures.
Also check your system wiring schematic.
If any problems persist after you have made these checks, consult your nearest Murphy
facility.
Symptom: No display
Check that the Power & Control cable is firmly connected to the back of the S1501.
Check for damaged or broken wire.
Check for power failure or power input shutdown.
Check the 200 mA fuse within the S1501 power supply and replace if necessary.
NOTE: If after all of the above has been done, and there is still no display,
return the S1501 to Murphy for repair or replacement.
Symptom: Engine fails to start (Sensor switch fault display cannot be
cleared.)
Check that the Power & Control cable is firmly connected to the back of the S1501.
Check for damaged or broken wire.
Check that the sensor input cable connector (ribbon cable) is properly connected to
the back of the S1501.
Verify that the LED lights (within the power supply box) are lit indicating relays are
functioning.
Check that the wire leads on the terminal block under the Safety Barrier cover are
connected and tight. (See drawing at right.)
Measure the voltage between terminals 1 and 2 on the terminal block under the
Safety Barrier cover (voltage should read between 5 - 6 VDC). Do this with the
S1501 connected to the power supply, and with it disconnected. There should not be
more than a 0.5 V difference between the readings with the S1501 connected and
not connected.
Section 50 00-02-0271
2018-10-23 - 25 -
Check sensor wires with an ohmmeter and meg or high potential test only with wires
disconnected from sensor terminal block.
NOTE: If shutdowns still result, contact your nearest Murphy
representative/dealer.
