Net Safety Monitoring Inc.

INTRODUCTION

The Millennium series is Net Safety's latest innovation in a line of continuously evolving industrial gas detectors. The microcontroller based system provides fast,
accurate and continuous monitoring of gases in extreme environments.

THE PRODUCT

The Millennium Basic is an analog output, explosion-proof, Class 1, Division 1 for hazardous areas, combustible gas detector for use with the SIR100 sensor
(methane/propane or methane/butane).

THE MANUAL

The manual has been designed to make installation of the Millennium product easy. To ensure proper installation, follow the 7 simple steps outlined in the following
pages. Throughout this manual are tips and warnings to make your installation experience more efficient. If you encounter problems during operation, consult the
troubleshooting section or contact your sales representative.

STEP 1 — PLAN

LOCATE CONTROLLER/SENSOR

Figure 1: Locate Sensor/Controller

Prior to the installation process, a location plan for placing the Controller and
Sensor should be developed. Although there are no absolute rules for
determining the quantity and location of a sensor or controller, the following
points should be considered when planning the installation.

• Locate the Controller where it will be accessible and visible.

• Carefully locate the sensor in an area where gases may potentially
accumulate.

• Use redundant systems to enhance protection and reliability.

• Light gases tend to rise; heavy gases tend to accumulate in low areas.

• Consider air movement patterns within the facility.

• Consider the construction of the facility (such as trenches where heavy gases
may accumulate or peaks where light gases may accumulate).

• Seek advice from experts knowledgeable about the primary gas to be
detected.

• Use common sense and refer to various regulatory publications that discuss
general guidelines for your industry.

The two most common installation options are as follows:

Option 1

The Sensor is attached directly to the Controller. A calibration cup is slipped
onto the bottom of the Senor and the gas is attached to the side calibration
fitting.

See "Wiring—Controller and Sensor" on page 9 for detailed instructions.

Option 2

Locate Sensor separate from Controller using a Junction Box.

The Controller is located at eye-level, while the Sensor is located where gas is
most likely to accumulate (for example, high up for a light gas). Conduit then
connects the two devices. A calibration cup is slipped onto the Sensor to
concentrate the gas and the calibration gas.

TIP:

The Calibration Cup prevents air circulation affecting the calibration
process and concentrates the gas during calibration. If the Calibration
Cup is not used, the area must be free of drafts or wind and the flow
rate of calibration gas must be 3.0 liters per minute or greater.

See "Wiring—Sensor Separation" on page 10 for detailed instructions.

STEP 2 — INSTALL

UNPACK

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Check components
against the enclosed packing list and inspect all components for obvious
damage such as broken or loose parts.

If you find any components missing or damaged, notify the distributor or Net
Safety Monitoring immediately.

THE CONTROLLER HOUSING

4.850

The Housing is explosion-proof, Class 1, Division 1, Groups C, D for hazardous
applications.

It is designed a 1-man, intrusive calibration.

The Sensor can be attached directly to the Housing or separated using a junction
box.

To remove the cover, simply screw the cover counter clockwise.

THE SENSOR

There are two types of SIR 100, combustible gas sensors; 0-100% LEL for
methane/propane or methane/butane detection.
