Introduction
Introduction
The 301C controllers act as nerve centers for gas detection networks,
providing continuous monitoring for up to 96 connected units (plus 1
301ADI). Since the controllers are factory programmed to the owner’s
specifications, installation is limited simply to mounting and connecting
them. Once installed and connected, the controllers allow the user to
monitor, adjust, or reconfigure an entire network of units.
The 301C has a supplementary option of the wireless coordinator that
enables this controller to communicate with and manage up to 25
wireless gas detection devices in addition to its regular capabilities.
Intended Use
The controller is intended to monitor an entire gas detection network
around the clock. The unit offers logging capabilities, creating log files
of all transmitter concentrations and alarms for analysis. The unit is
also equipped with grouping or zoning capabilities that allow users to
query and monitor specific groups of transmitters or specific transmitter
zones.
Receiving and Unpacking
Upon receiving the controller unit:
•Check that the package is undamaged
•Carefully open the package.
•Locate the packing slip or purchase order and verify that all items
on the order are present and undamaged
Note: If the package or any of its contents are damaged, please refer to

Power Connections
The 301C requires a power range of 17-27 Vac, 50/60 Hz (8.64 VA),
18-36 Vdc, 350 mA @24 Vdc (8.4 VA). Polarization is not important in
either AC or DC mode. The system must be grounded on the
transformer and a dedicated circuit breaker must be used.
Communication Connections
Communication cables must be grounded using the shield terminal,
using twisted and shielded pair Belden 2-24 AWG #9841 cable (or
equivalent).
The network cabling can extend up to a limit of 2000 feet (609 m) per
channel.
The length of a T-tap can reach 65 feet (20 m), up to a maximum of 130
feet (40 m) for all T-taps.
All wireless devices associated to the controller will automatically be
detected and communicate with the controller using wireless
communication protocols.
Settings for Specific Transmitters
Honeywell Sensepoint XCD Transmitters must be configured for 9600
baud, no parity, and a unique address. Honeywell XNX Universal
Transmitters must be configured for 9600 baud and a unique address.

Relay Output
The relay output can withstand up to 5A at 30Vdc or 250Vac (resistive
load only). Relays can be used to activate horns and strobes. Although
each relay is programmed with a default setting (below), they can be
configured using the controller programming menu.
If relays are set to Normally closed, the relay is powered up with the
controller and the device linked to the relay is functioning. The relay will
shut down when the specified alarm condition is reached.
If the relay is set to normally open, the relay will remain off when the
controller is powered up and the device connected to the relay will only
be activated when the specified alarm condition is reached.
Note: These functions are reversed if the controller Failsafe mode has
been activated.

Jumper Use Instructions
The jumpers on the controller PCB allow a variety of operations to be
performed manually:
EOL 1-4: Enables the user to add End-Of-Line jumpers that improve
communication signals. Put the jumper in R position (as
shown on wiring diagram) to activate the End-of-Line
termination. (R provides a resistance termination and RC
provides resistance and condensator termination.)
SHDN:Enables the microcontroller to be reset or temporarily shut
down. This function is used mainly when system wiring
adjustments are needed (power off for safety).
Relays These jumpers allow the relay to be tested by activating it
J29-J32 without having any effect on Events.

Getting Started
The controller units are customized to the purchaser’s specifications but
they can be further programmed using the following menu options.
Initial Startup
Make sure that all wiring has been completed according to
specifications in the wiring details before powering up the unit. When
all is secure, remove the SHDN jumper to power-up the unit. It should
only take a few seconds until the unit is fully operative.
Datalogger (SDcard)
The DLC (Data Logger Card) option for the controller collects data and
stores it on a digital Flash memory card (SDCard). In the event that the
card memory becomes full:
•Information logging is stopped
•No SDcard flag is displayed on-screen
•The SDcard LED blinks
See the Acquisition section for more details on starting and stopping the
datalogging function.
