This manual has been prepared to help in the use and installation of the Manning AirAlertTM96d Multi-Channel Gas
Monitoring System. This manual will convey the operating principles of the sensor, ensure proper installation, and
demonstrate start-up and routine maintenance procedures.
ATTENTION: This manual must be carefully followed by all individuals who have or will have the
responsibility for using or servicing the Manning AirAlert
Honeywell Analytics with respect to this equipment will be voided if the equipment is not used and serviced in
accordance with the instructions in this manual. If in doubt about a procedure, please contact Honeywell Analytics
before proceeding.
To ensure your personal safety, read “Safety
Information” (below) before you use the controller.
The Manning AirAlert
TM
96d system sets new
standards in gas detection and in the measurement
of environmental parameters.
Acting as the nerve center of a modular gas detection
network, the Manning AirAlert
TM
96d provides
continuous monitoring of up to 96 connected units on
three distinct channels.
The Manning AirAlert
TM
96d provides a full array of
displays. At a glance, it is possible to determine the
status of the entire network. Field modifications are
straightforward. A menu driven program allows for
minor fine-tuning of the sequence of operation all the
way to the reconfiguration of the entire network.
Since no two projects are alike, the Manning
AirAlert
TM
96d is designed to be highly customized.
Combined with ease of installation, this unit
represents the most affordable gas monitoring
solution for institutional, commercial and light
industrial applications.
For more advanced applications, the Manning
AirAlert
TM
96d controller provides datalogging
capacity within a cast aluminum enclosure. The
perfect solution for even the most complex of
industrial applications.
A Safety Information — Read First
Use the controller only as specified in this manual,
otherwise the protection provided by the controller
may be impaired.
• Warning: To prevent ignition of flammable
or combustible atmospheres, disconnect
power before servicing.
• Do not use the controller if it is damaged.
Before you use the controller, inspect the
case.
• If the controller is damaged or something is
missing, contact Honeywell Analytics
immediately.
To avoid possible damage to the controller:
• Do not expose the controller to electrical
shock and/or severe continuous mechanical
shock.
• Do not attempt to disassemble, adjust, or
service the controller unless instructions for
that procedure are contained in the manual
and/or that part is listed as a replacement
part. Use only Manning replacement parts.
The controller Warranty could be voided if customer
personnel or third parties damage the controller
during repair attempts.
B Getting Started
Intended Use
The Manning AirAlert
around the clock monitoring of the gas detection
network. Moreover, a log of all the sensors
concentrations and alarms will be created for analysis
with the datalogger option. Also, the grouping/zoning
capabilities will result in energy cost savings.

Read the Warnings and Cautions on the following
pages before using the controller.
Note: This instrument contains a lithium battery.
Do not mix with the solid waste stream. Spent
batteries should be disposed of by a qualified
recycler or hazardous materials handler.
These guidelines must be strictly observed to assure
that the equipment will work properly. If they are not
applied, Honeywell Analytics will not recognize any
liability in case of improper operation.
• Make sure to locate all units easily accessible
for proper service.
• Avoid any location where units could be
subject to vibrations.
• Avoid any location close to any electro-
magnetic interference.
• Avoid any location where there are large
temperature swings.
• Verify local requirements and existing
regulations, which may affect the choice of
location.
Warning
A cable with more than one pair of wires is
unacceptable for communication use.
B Mounting Installation
The suggested height for controller installation is
5 feet from the floor.
