SENSOR VIABILITY TEST
can provide a linear 4/20 mA or Modbus RS485 signal input into PLC’s or SCADA systems. Can also be
used with Honeywell controllers to create a complete gas detection system that includes visual/audible
notification and relay outputs to activate ventilation.
In units without the optional LCD module, status is indicated by LEDs installed on the PCB. In units with
the optional LCD, two external push buttons, “Accept” and “Scroll” are used to navigate test functions and
operating modes.
2 Isolated 4/20 mA, 700 ohms max. at 24 VDC. Signal output reduces to 0.5 mA to indicate a fault
condition. RS485, Modbus RTU protocol.
50°F to +120°F (45°C to +49°C), ATMOS equipped enviro-adaptive technology required for refrigerated
areas or outdoors
4/20 mA output: #18/3 shielded cable (Belden 8770 or equal), cable runs < 1,500 ft. RS485: for
communication cable, use 24 AWG twisted pair, shielded (Belden #9841 or equal), cable runs up to 2,000
ft. For power cable use 14 AWG (Belden #5100UE or equal), cable runs up to 1,000 feet.
NEMA 1, gasketed, #16 gauge steel (standard). Stainless steel, including modified enclosures for low
temperatures, ventilation ducts, etc. are available. Weight: 3 lbs.
SensorCheck: an internal microprocessor determines the sensor’s electrical viability every 24 hours. If the
viability test fails, a 0.5 mA signal will indicate a fault. An internal LED will indicate if the sensor is at the end
of its operational life or disconnected.
CAUTION: EC-FX is designed for operation in a wide range of environments and harsh conditions. However, it is important that exposure to high concentrations of solvent vapors is avoided,
both during storage, fitting into instruments, and operation. EC-FX is designed to be used in safety critical applications. To ensure that the sensor and/or instrument in which it is used, are
operating properly, it is a requirement that the function of the device is confirmed by exposure to target gas (bump check). Failure to carry out such tests on a regular basis may jeopardize
the safety of people and property.
