1.1Correct Use
The S5000 Gas Monitor, hereafter also called device, is a gas monitor for measuring toxic and combustible gases as well
as oxygen. Using sensors, the device tests the ambient air and triggers the alarm as soon as the gas exceeds a specific
concentration level.
WARNING!
Do not use silicone-type lubricants in assembling the device and do not allow silicone vapors to be drawn into the flow
system while in operation. Silicone can desensitize the combustible gas sensor, thereby giving erroneously low readings.
Use only genuine MSA replacement parts when performing any maintenance procedures provided in this manual. Failure to
do so may seriously impair sensor and gas monitoring performance, alter flameproof/explosionproof characteristics or void
agency approvals.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
WARNING!
As with all gas monitors of this type, high levels of, or long exposure to, certain compounds in the tested atmosphere could
contaminate the sensors. In atmospheres where an S5000 Gas Monitor may be exposed to such materials, calibration
must be performed frequently for dependable operation and to confirm that display indications are accurate.
These effects include, but are not limited to:
•Passive MOS sensors may be adversely affected by prolonged exposure to certain substances. Loss of sensitivity or
corrosion may be gradual if such agents are present in low concentrations or it may be rapid at high concentrations.
Examples of these substances are as follows:
–Halides: compounds containing fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine
–Heavy metals, e.g. tetraethyl lead
–Caustic and Acidic liquids and vapors
–Glycol
•The H2S Digital Sensor may be adversely affected by the following substances:
–Alcohols (methanol, ethanol, isopropanol)
–Nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
–Chlorine (Cl2)
–Paint solvents (acetone, turpentine, toluene, mineral spirits, etc.)
•The CO Digital Sensor may be adversely affected by the following substances:
–Alcohols (methanol, ethanol, isopropanol)
–Paint solvents (acetone, turpentine, toluene, mineral spirits, etc.)
•
The O2 Digital Sensor may be adversely affected by the following substances:
–Long term exposure to low levels of Acetylene
–Paint solvents (acetone, turpentine, toluene, mineral spirits, etc.) in high concentrations larger than 1000 ppm or
prolonged exposure to lower concentrations
General Monitors S50007
US
1 Safety Regulations
•Prolonged exposure of the H2S Digital Sensor to humidity levels of 5% RH or lower will result in gas measurement
readings of H2S that are greater than the actual gas concentration present.
•It is not recommended to expose the O2, H2S and CO Digital Sensors to environments containing oxygen levels above
30% (v/v) or below 5% (v/v). The O2sensor will operate at concentrations below 5% (v/v) but not for prolonged periods
of time.

The S5000 utilizes a dot matrix LED display, capable of displaying four alphanumeric characters at a time. The display will
scroll words that exceed four letters. Most of the messages scroll twice across the screen before moving onto next
selection.
Figure 1 S5000 Main Display
In addition to the red LED display, the S5000 uses six icons to indicate status. Green LED indicates power supply status.
A yellow triangle and red bell indicate fault and warning or alarm conditions respectively. The Bluetooth®icon indicates that
the Bluetooth®wireless technology is enabled on the device. Yellow "1" and "2" icon indicate which sensor gas reading is
being displayed, or during configuration which sensor's options are being accessed.
2.2No Tool Interface
The S5000 does not require any tools or third party devices to change settings, reset alarms or perform any maintenance
operation. The EZtouchbutton works through the glass and does not require opening the explosion proof enclosure. The
EZtouchbutton works with bare fingers or with gloved hands, so long as the gloves are not black. See 4 Operation for more
information on navigating the menu with the EZtouchbutton.
General Monitors S500010
US
2 Description
Figure 2 Interface
The user menu can also be accessed using the round GM magnet on the General Monitors logo.
2.3Bluetooth®Wireless Technology
The S5000 comes by default with Bluetooth communication. Using the X/SConnectApp on an appropriate smart phone or
tablet, users are able to interface with the S5000 menu options in a larger and more user friendly setting. The Bluetooth
communication can interact with the device within a maximum transmission distance of 70feet (21m).
WARNING!
Bluetooth operation is dependent upon signal availability of the wireless service(s) necessary to maintain the
communication link. Loss of wireless signal will prevent communication of alarms and other information to linked devices.
Take appropriate precautions in the event a loss of wireless signal occurs.
Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
If ordered with Bluetooth, the device will be shipped with Bluetooth enabled. See 4 Operation for instructions on
disabling Bluetooth.
If the device was not ordered with Bluetooth it cannot be upgraded.
The S5000 and user provided communication device will need to be paired. This requires both devices to be in range and for
a pairing sequence inputting a 6digitpairing code. The instructions will be displayed on both the S5000 and communication
device.
There are communication devices capable of being used in classified areas. Please contact your MSA
representative for additional information.
2.4Dual Sensing
The S5000 supports two Digital Sensors, or one IRSensor point IR detector and one Digital Sensor simultaneously with
four wire connections. However, the device will only support one passive sensor, either combustible catalytic bead or
metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensors, based on the ATO configuration. Passive catalytic bead uses three wires,
passive MOS uses four wires.
The S5000 Gas Monitor generates two independent analog outputs; one for each sensor connected to the transmitter. The
analog output associated with Sensor1 also has the digital HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer)
General Monitors S500011
US
2 Description
communication superimposed on the analog signal. If two sensors are connected, the digital HART communication carries
information for both sensors.
2.5Retrofit Installations
The S5000 has the conduit entries located in the exact same orientation and distance from the wall and the mounting holes
for attaching to a wall are identical to the S4000Series detectors. Users will be able to re-use the existing wiring for the
remotely mounted sensors.
2.6XCell Sensors Optimized for Fixed Gas Applications
XCell toxic and combustible catalytic bead sensors are developed and manufactured by MSA. Now optimized for fixed gas
applications, the XCell sensor platform is available in the S5000 and provides multiple benefits, including a standard 3-year
warranty on all XCellsensors.
One important optimization for fixed gas was incorporating the GM catalytic bead into the XCell sensor.
The XCell Oxygen sensor does not use lead, but rather a non-consuming reaction chemistry. The XCell Oxygen sensor is
expected to last well over 3years and can be safely stored on the shelf for at least 1 year without sensor performance
degradation. Changes in barometric pressure across the range of 86 kPA - 108 kPA have a negligible effect on the
operation of the sensor.
2.7TruCal Sensing Technology for CO and H2S Electrochemical Sensors
Using patented pulse check technology and proprietary Adaptive Environmental Compensation (AEC) algorithms, all XCell
sensors with TruCal verify operation by actively adjusting the sensor output for changes in sensitivity. Some XCell sensors
with TruCal also include Diffusion Supervision, which monitors the sensor inlet for obstructions that could prevent gas from
reaching the sensor.
Every six hours, an electrical pulse stimulates the XCell sensor similar to having actual calibration gas applied, providing a
snapshot of the sensor's sensitivity at the time of the pulse. Using this sensitivity snapshot, the sensor can diagnose
sensor failures like electrode poisoning, electrolyte leaking, or electrical connectivity issues.
AEC uses the sensitivity snapshots provided by the pulse check to adjust sensor output, compensating for environmental
impacts on sensor accuracy. If the AEC adjustment is greater than expected based on typical environmental impact
variations, the transmitter LED’s will slowly flash GREEN, alerting users that the sensor should be calibrated to reset the
AEC cycle. Users can also enable a Calibration Alert function that will send a milli-amp signal on the analog output to the
control room. The result is a sensor that actively self-monitors for operation and accuracy, with far fewer manual
calibrations.
Diffusion supervision actively monitors the sensor inlet for obstructions. If an obstruction is detected, the sensor will go
into a fault mode to alert users and the control room that it is not seeing gas due to an obstruction. Objects residing directly
on or in the sensor inlet that result in a significant impact to the gas path are very likely to be detected by Diffusion
Supervision. Examples include paint, tape, water, and dirt. Small amounts of these materials can be visible on the inlet
while not impacting the gas path enough to trigger a Diffusion Supervision Fault. A fault signal will only be sent out when
the system determines that the amount of material that has accumulated on or inside the sensor inlet is negatively affecting
the gas path.
Actual TruCal sensor performance will depend on the application, background gas exposure, and environment. To validate
XCell sensors with TruCal, it is recommended that users follow their regular calibration cycle and record the "as found" and
"as left" values. This data can be used to extend the time between calibrations depending on the required specification of
the application.
General Monitors S500012
US
2 Description
2.8SafeSwap
The S5000 comes with patented SafeSwap technology, which allows users to change or replace XCellsensors without
needing to power down the instrument. Swap delay is enabled on the S5000 by default; a feature that gives users a
2minute window to change sensors without triggering a fault condition. SafeSwap and Swap Delay are only applicable for
XCellsensors. For more information on SafeSwap and Swap Delay, see 6 Maintenance.

components are approved for the wiring method being used and in accordance with the National Electrical Code of the
country of use, any applicable local regulations, and this manual.
Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
3.4.1 Sensor Mounting Location
The best location for the transmitter and the sensor may not be the same location. Sensors should be placed in a location
where a gas leak is most likely to be detected. When the best sensor placement would not allow the transmitter display to
be easily viewed or accessed, a remote junction box can be used to mount the sensor remotely from the transmitter,
allowing both to be installed in the optimum location.
Two main factors should be considered when choosing a sensor location. The first is the density of the target gas relative
to the air. Gases, such as propane, that are heavier than air should be placed near ground level while gases that are lighter
than air should be placed above potential leak sources.
Optimum sensor placement will depend on the surrounding processing equipment, such as pipes, valves, or turbines. MSA
offers a gas and flame mapping service that systematically evaluates potential sources of leaks and recommends detector
quantity and placement to create the most effective detection system.
3.4.2 Transmitter Mounting Location
The transmitter display should be mounted so that the screen is visible and easily accessed after installation. The
electronics assembly inside the enclosure have one orientation inside the cylindrical housing. Take care to position the
conduit entries and display so that the display is read in the correct orientation.
3.4.3 Sensor Orientation
WARNING!
Mount the IR Sensor with the sensor inlet fitting extended horizontally from the main enclosure (see Figure 10 ) to prevent
the build-up of particulate or liquid matter on the monitor's optical surfaces.
Mount the digital sensor with the sensor inlet fitting (see Figure 11 ) pointed downward; otherwise, the inlet may become
clogged with particulate matter or liquids.
Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
Sensor orientation will depend on the sensor type. If mounting an IRSensor, whether locally on the transmitter or via
remote junction box, the sensor should be mounted horizontally. If the IRSensor is not mounted horizontally, the sensor
will be prone to more frequent beam blocking issues due to accumulated dust and condensation on the surface of the
IRSensor. Figure 10 shows the correct and incorrect mounting orientations for the IRSensor.
General Monitors S500019
US
3 Installation
Figure 10 Correct and Incorrect Mounting Orientations for IR Sensor
All other sensors, including electrochemical, catalytic bead, oxygen, passive catalytic bead, and passive MOS should be
mounted vertically with the gas inlet pointed downward. If the sensor is not mounted with the gas inlet facing down, it is
more likely to become clogged with particulate matter or liquids. Figure 11 shows the correct and incorrect mounting
orientation for digital sensors. Passive catalytic bead and MOS sensors come already installed on the transmitter housing.
Figure 11 Correct and Incorrect Mounting Orientation for Digital Sensors
3.4.4 Connecting Sensor to Transmitter Housing or Remote Junction Box
Digital and IRSensors are shipped attached to the main enclosure. The main sensor input is provided via a four-terminal
connection that provides a digital interface for all sensor modules. Up to two sensors (excluding passive sensors) can be
connected to a single transmitter with two analog outputs capable of representing the readings of the individual sensors.
Passive sensors are shipped already attached and electrically wired to the device. Only one passive sensor can be used
on a single S5000, and they are not interchangeable with other passive sensors or digital sensors.
Consider the sensor dimensions when choosing a mounting location for the transmitter or junction box.
To connect the sensor:
(1)Loosen the set screw located on the lid using a 1.5mm Allen wrench.
(2)Turn the lid counter-clockwise to remove.
(3)Pull out display module to expose terminal connections.

Diffusion Supervision must be disabled when using the SM5000.
3.5Installing a Remote Sensor Junction Box
Sensors mounted remotely must use the S5000 junctionbox. The junction box housing is the same construction as the
transmitter. The mounting options and instructions for connecting the sensor are the same for sensors connected directly
to the S5000 transmitter housing. The junction box is available in 316StainlessSteel.
Sensors can be remote mounted up to 100m from the transmitter housing, as long as the S5000 transmitter is mounted
within maximum distance from the power supply, as indicated in Table 1 .
The junction box does not have an illuminated display and has two connectors for attaching a single sensor input and an
output connects to the transmitter. A 16AWG 4element cable with a braided shield should be used for the electrical
connection between the junction box and the S5000 transmitter. Specific cable recommendations are available upon
request.

3.6.1 Electrical Warnings - Read before Connecting Power
WARNING!
•Before wiring the S5000 transmitter, disconnect the power source supplying the transmitter and ensure no hazardous
atmosphere present; otherwise, electrical shock or ignition of hazardous gases could occur.
•Install wiring in accordance with the electrical code of the country in use, the local authority having jurisdiction and
these installation instructions, as applicable.
General Monitors S500027
US
3 Installation
•Do not make any connections to the S5000 main board or junction box input, output, and relay connections while under
power. Making connections under power could lead to electrical shock or ignition of a hazardous atmosphere.
•Ensure that water and dirt are not able to enter the unit via the wire or conduit. If the unit is installed in a location known
to be wet or damp, it is good practice to loop or bend the entry into the unit that prevents water incursion.
•The internal grounding terminal (located on the interior metal board stack plate) must be used for equipment grounding.
The external grounding terminal is only to be used as a supplemental bonding connection where local authorities permit
or require such a connection.
•As part of the product certification, it was verified that optional communication functions of this gas detection
instrument while operating at the maximum transaction rate do not adversely affect the gas detection operation and
functions of the instrument. The product certification, however, does not include or imply approval of the SafeSwap
feature, communications protocol or functions provided by the software of this instrument or of the communications
apparatus and software connected to this instrument.
•Follow the warnings below when removing or replacing sensors. Reference Figure 3 for component overview.
–Never remove or replace a sensor body assembly or an IRSensor while under power or when explosive hazards
are present.
–Confirm that the area is free of explosive hazards before removing or replacing an XCell Sensor under power.
–To remove an XCell Sensor, unscrew XCell Sensor three full turns, wait 10 seconds, and then remove the XCell
Sensor completely.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
3.6.2 Retrofit Applications with S4000CH, S4000TH, or TS4000H
The S5000 was designed to be easily retrofitted with existing S4000CH, S4000TH, and TS4000H wiring. When replacing
an existing S4000CH, S4000TH, or TS4000H with the equivalent S5000 sensor technology, the following items need to be
checked in order for the S5000 to operate:
(1)Wire gauge needs to be 18-14 AWG
(2)Sufficient power must be supplied to the S5000 in accordance with the maximum wire lengths. (See the tables in
3.6.4 Power Load Requirements and Maximum Mounting Distances)
If these requirements are met, performance of the S5000 should meet the noise immunity standard equivalent of the
S4000CH, S4000TH, and TS4000H using the existing wiring; However, the installation may not meet the latest EMC
EN50270 noise immunity standard that the S5000 meets with the grounding and wiring scheme as indicated in this manual
and corresponding I/O drawing.
3.6.3 Electrical Hardware Requirements
Braided shielded, twisted pair, instrument quality wire or cable should be used to minimize the possibility of noise
interference and contact with other voltages. Selection of shielded cable must comply with local requirements.
Conduit, in addition to braided shielded wire, may also be needed in areas where a large amount of electrical noise is
expected. All cable shields should be terminated to earth ground at one end only.
The S5000 has a four-wire power terminal, one four-wire communication terminal, and three four-wire sensor terminals.
Relays can be added as an option. Terminals for power and relays can take wires up to 12AWG while all other terminals
take wires up to 14AWG. Four conductors are also required for the S5000 remote junction boxes.
General Monitors S500028
US
Incoming power and signal cables should be a braided shield cable such as AlphaWire3248 or equivalent. The braided
shield must be terminated to the board stack as shown in Figure 27 , or alternatively, the earth ground at the user’s power
source location.
An external Class2 power supply is required to supply 12-30VDC to the S5000. Incoming power and signal cables should
be a braided shield cable such as AlphaWire3248 or equivalent.
3.6.4 Power Load Requirements and Maximum Mounting Distances
Consider future needs when selecting cable size and power supply. The maximum distance between the S5000 transmitter
and the power supply depends on the sensor configuration (sensing technology and one or two sensors), wire gauge, and
the power supply voltage. The table below outlines the maximum transmitter mounting distances. First determine if the
sensor(s) will be locally or remotely mounted. Then choose sensor type(s). The corresponding maximum power and
mounting distances by wire gauge are shown.
