1 System Description
The Manning EC-F9-NH3 Sensor is a three-wire,
4/20 mA sensor, with optional RS-485 Modbus RTU
communication, designed for low-level ammonia
detection available in ranges of 0—100 ppm,
0—250 ppm, 0—500 ppm, and 0—1,000 ppm.
The unit exhibits excellent accuracy and precision,
with negligible response to common interference
gases and dramatic changes in relative humidity.
Reliable trip levels as low as 25 ppm can be
expected with the 0—100 ppm sensor. The unit
exhibits extremely high reliability with no moving
parts.
Monitoring equipment must be configured to indicate
a fault if the signal is less than 1.5 mA. All signals
over 20 mA must be considered a high gas
concentration.

Ranges: 0—100 ppm (standard)
0—250 ppm
0—500 ppm

Output: Isolated 4/20 mA, 700 ohms max at 24
VDC. Signal output reduces to 0.5 mA to indicate a
fault condition.

Cable Recommendations:
4/20 output: #18/3 shielded cable (Belden #8770 or
equal), cable runs <1,500 feet.
Modbus RTU (RS-485)
: For communication cable,
use 24 AWG twisted pair, shielded (Belden #9841 or
equal), cable runs up to 2,000 feet. For power cable,
use 14 AWG (Belden #5100UE or equal), cable runs
up to 1,000 feet, for each power supply. Larger power
cable and/or additional power supplies may be
required for longer cable runs and/or increased
number of sensors. Due to variables such as sensor
current draw, line loss, and cable size, contact
Honeywell Analytics for help with power requirements.
Gas Sampling: Diffusion method is standard.
Enclosure: NEMA 1, gasketed, #16-gauge steel
(standard). Stainless steel or explosion-proof
designs, including modified enclosures for low
temperatures, ventilation ducts, etc., are available
(contact Honeywell Analytics).
NOTE: The standard EC is for use in nonclassified areas only.
