2. Installation
2.1Location of the FMK 9002
The following aspects must be taken into consideration before locating the FMK 9002:
-Location close to the hazardous area and for personal monitoring applications at head level
-Property of the target gas, e.g. lighter or heavier than air
-Protection against sunlight, spray water, rain, and dust
-Free access for maintenance personnel
For narrow monitoring locations a sensor extension is available as an option.
2.2Mounting the FMK 9002
As a standard accessory a wall mounting support is delivered with the FMK 9002. At the monitoring
point the wall mounting support is fixed to the wall with four screws (M5), with the black locking knob on
top and facing the FMK 9002.
Finally, the FMK 9002 is affixed to the wall mounting support.
Installation
2.3Connecting the FMK 9002
Connect the two wires of the cable fixed to the FMK 9002 with the two-wire cable leading to the
Central Controller FMS 8700 or FMS 8710.
If the FMK 9002 is connected to other 4 ... 20 mA Central Control Systems, the limit values for the
power supply (7.5 ... 15 V) must be observed.
Pay attention to the correct polarity of the two-wire cable !
A watertight junction box is recommended for connection. The maximum length of the two-wire cable
is subject to the technical specifications of the type of cable used as well as to the capacitance values
stated in the ex-proof certificate.
The following applies in combination with the Central Controller FMS 8700 or 8710:
VersionCable diameterDistance
standard 2 x 0.5 mm
intrinsically safe2 x 0.5 mm
With the intrinsically safe version of the Central Controller FMS 8700 and FMS 8710, the maximum
allowable capitance of 190 nF/km at the ex-separator must be observed.

3.Start-Up
Each FMK 9002 is factory tested and calibrated. These data are stated in the test certificate.
To prevent the Remote Sensor Head FMK 9002 from manipulations by unauthorized
personnel, settings like change of operation mode, functional tests, scaling of external control
systems, and calibration are only possible when the red test plug is inserted. After settings
have been performed, the test plug should be removed and preserved carefully.
3.1Setting the FMK 9002 to Operation
Connect the power cord of the Central Controller FMS 8700 or FMS 8710. The green operating
mode LED (MONITOR/CALIBR) will light. The gas concentration is indicated at the Digital Display.
If in target gas free atmosphere the indicated concentration value is not zero, perform zero
adjustment (see section 5.1).
3.2Locking the Alarms at the Central Controller FMS 8700
To prevent that alarm relays are activated and external alarms are released during electrical
or gas-technical checks, the "EXT ALARMS" key switch at the Central Controller FMS 8700 must be set
to the "OFF" position.
Start-Up
The "FAULT" LED at the Central Controller will be lit and the according relay will be activated. This additional precaution was taken to alert all parties concerned, f.i. operating personnel at external control
rooms, to the changed monitoring status of the FMS 8700.
3.3Operating Modes
There are two different operating modes for the FMK 9002. Insert test plug and select operating mode
by once pressing the "MONITOR/CALIBR" key. The operating mode LED changes from status on to
off.
(a) Monitor Mode (MONITOR)
- Green LED is lit with an intensity proportional to the gas concentration.
- The current passing the 4 ... 20 mA loop is proportional to the gas concentration.
(b) Calibration Mode (CALIBR.)
- The green LED is off.
- There is a constant current of less than 2 mA passing the 4 ... 20 mA loop.
Note:
After settings have been performed, the test plug should always be removed and preserved carefully.

3.4Functional Test and Scaling External Control Systems
For electrical checks of the 4 - and 20 mA-signals or scaling external Control Systems, put the red test
plug into the jack on top of the instrument. Thus, the test signal is passed on to the current loop with
4 mA representing a zero concentration and 20 mA representing a full scale concentration.
The selected operating mode is monitor and the green LED is lit.
3.4.14 mA Simulation (Zero)
-Press and hold button "4 mA/Zero"
-The current in the 4 ... 20 mA loop is 4 mA
-Zero is indicated at the FMK 9002 and FMS 8700/8710's displays
-Alarm is not activated at the FMS 8700 or FMS 8710,
except with instruments for oxygen deficiency
3.4.220 mA Simulation (full scale)
-Press and hold button "20 mA / CE Value"
-The current in the 4...20 mA loop is 20 mA
-The green LED will be lit intensively
-Full scale is indicated at the FMK 9002 and the display of the FMS 8700 or FMS 8710
-Both alarms are activated and indicated by the according LEDs at the alarm module, except
with instruments for oxygen deficiency
Start-Up
Note:
After terminating the functional test, the test plug should be removed in order to prevent eventual alarm
releases by unauthorized personnel. The test plug must be saved for regular checks.

5.Calibration
Gas for Tests and Calibration
Test Gas:
Calibration gas of a known concentration at or close to the TLV for the target gas
Zero Gas:
Fresh air or synthetic air
The test plug is inserted, the selected operating mode is calibration (CALIBR.), the green LED is off.
This operating mode does not apply for the FMK 9002 for oxygen (for O2 continue with section 5.3).
Note: Be sure to use a proper size screwdriver to prevent damaging the instrument.
5.1Zero Adjustment
(Does not apply to FMK 9002 for oxygen)
-Expose the FMK 9002 to Zero gas
-Allow the reading on the digital display to stabilize. If a new sensor has just been installed, it may
take a few minutes
-Press and hold the button "4 mA/Zero" while turning the adjustment (Zero) with a srewdriver until
the digital display reads all zeros
Calibration
Deviations however are acceptable, since the FMK 9002 automatically adjusts to a higher sensitivity.
5.2Span Adjustment with Calibration Gas
(Does not apply to FMK 9002 for oxygen)
-Place the calibration cap (P/N 8600-4002) over the sensor and start the calibration gas flow
(flow volume approx. 18 l/h or 300 ccm/min)
-Allow the reading on the digital display to stabilize
-Turn the span adjustment (SPAN) with a screwdriver until the reading on the digital display
matches the concentration of the calibration gas
-Remove calibration gas and calibration cap
-Allow several minutes for the sensor to "clear". Check and readjust the zero reading as required
(see section 5.1 above)
-Press the button "MONITOR/CALIBR" to return to the monitoring mode.
Note:
If a high degree of accuracy in monitoring is required, monthly calibrations with calibration gas of a
known concentration are recommended. The frequency of sensor tests should be determined by the
application and can be performed whenever required with test gas from lecture bottles, available at
major gas suppliers.
5.3Span Adjustment for Oxygen Sensors
-Selected FMK 9002 operating mode is monitor (MONITOR)
-The green LED is lit
-The FMK 9002 oxygen sensor can always be calibrated in fresh air (O2 - content 20.9 %-vol).
Turn the span adjustment (SPAN) with a srewdriver until the reading on the digital display shows
the concentration value of 20.9 %-vol.

5.4Span Adjustment with Calibration Current
Applicable for replacement sensors only.
The data label on each spare sensor shows the specific concentration value CE. This value states the
equivalent concentration to a certain constant calibration current.
This adjustment must be performed in gas free atmosphere.
-Selected FMK 9002 operating mode is calibrating
-Zero adjustment according to section 5.1
-Press and hold button "20 mA/CE Value" (calibration current will be fed)
-Turn the span adjustment with a screwdriver until the reading of the digital display matches the
CE concentration value.
Note:
After the requested tests and settings have been performed, the test plug should be removed
in order to prevent eventual manipulations by unauthorized personnel. The test plug must be saved for
regular checks.
