Sierra Monitor Corporation 5100-02-IT, Catalytic Bead IT User Manual
Only FM Performance Approved
Catalytic Bead Combustible Gas
Sensor Module with 180 day
Calibration Interval, twice as long as
the industry standard resulting in half
the maintenance costs!
The 5100-02-IT Combustible Gas Sensor Module is a
key member of the powerful Sierra Monitor IT Series
family of gas sensor modules. The 5100-02-IT provides
the features needed by safety and instrumentation engineers including:
• 180 day calibration interval
• Integral scrolling LED display
• SIL-1 rated
• Integral alarm relays – High, Low, Trouble
• Aluminum or 316 Stainless S teel enclosure
• Non-intrusive calibration
• 4-20 mA output
• Modbus RTU RS-485 interface
• SMC Sentry digital bus interface
• Remote alarm reset capable
• Optional remote sensor
• Optional control relay pack
Model 5100-02-IT utilizes the proven, reliable, catalytic
bead technology to monitor for combustible gases (methane and others). Output range is 0-100% of Lower Explosive Limit (LEL). This detector has minimal maintenance
requirements and is Factory Mutual approved for six month
calibration intervals. Internal, continuous self-diagnostics
automatically detect and alarm any fault problems. The
5100-02-IT can be used as a 4-20 mA component or as a
Modbus RTU node. For higher level system capability the
module can interface directly to Sierra Monitor’s Sentry
Controller enabling system level Modbus serial communications, area and zone alarm management, extensive
system diagnostic features, WebServer interface, and multiplexing sensor connections.
Features
♦ Six-month calibration interval
♦ Non-intrusive calibration
♦ FM Approved for Performance and Hazardous
Areas
♦ Local scrolling display
♦ Network-compatible with Modbus, 4-20 mA,
Sentry bus and relay interface
♦ SIL Certified
Combustible Gas Sensor Module
Catalytic Bead
180 Day Calibration Interval
Factory Mutual (FM) Approval for performance, electrical
safety and environmental parameters including Class I, Div .
1, Groups B, C, D and Class I, Zone 1, Group IIB+H2 IP66.
With a NEMA-4X enclosure standard, approved multiplexing, and approved six month calibration interval, cost of
ownership is minimized at the acquisition, installation and
operating stages.
How It Works
Catalytic Bead gas sensors detect gas by comparing the
resistance of two heated elements. One element is
catalytic to enhance the burning of combustible gases, the
other element is passive. Electronic circuits are used to
compare the change in the catalytic bead resistance
relative to the passive bead. The relative change is
calibrated to determine the concentration of the gas of
interest.
Benefits
Longest rated and FM-approved calibration cycle for
any catalytic-bead gas detector - reduced maintenance
Able to calibrate module without declassifying the area
Proven and approved for installation in areas where
combustible gases are located
Ease of calibration and easy access to gas concentra-
tion, relay and alarm status and diagnostics
Easily meets users needs for access to critical plant
safety information
Meets long term reliability design standards

It is often necessary to sample the combustible gas at
some distance from the gas sensor module. The IT Series
enables the user to mount the sensor remotely from the
transmitter without the need for expensive and high-maintenance sample pumps. The Remote Sensor Option (5394-
51) provides a separate gas sensor that can be mounted
up to 50 feet from the transmitter and connected via a
cable.
Maximum distance from sensor to transmitter: 50 feet
