1.2 PRODUCT CONFIGURATION
Various module configuration options are available. Where applicable, these options are factory configured
prior to shipment. Options which can be re-configured by the installer or field technician are fully described in
this manual.
1.3 THEORY OF OPERATION
Electrochemical sensors are fuel cell-like devices consisting of an anode, cathode and electrolyte. The
components of the cell are selected so a subject gas, allowed to diffuse into the cell, will cause a chemical
reaction and generate a current. The cells are diffusion limited so the rate the gas enters the cell is solely
dependent on the gas concentration. The current generated is proportional to the rate of consumption of the
subject gas in the cell.
1.4 MODES OF OPERATION
1.4.1 SENTRY INTERFACE
IT gas sensor modules can be installed on Sierra Monitor Sentry Model 5000 controllers. The gas sensor
module communicates as a toxic gas sensor module (Type 4 – communication) and are automatically
detected by the Sentry controller. When it is installed in a Sentry system the IT module must have a unique
address which can be established by setting an address between 1 and 8 on the Module Address Switch

accessible from the cover plate as illustrated in Figure 3-1. Figure 3-6 in this manual provides the wiring
terminations for connections to the Sentry controller.
When the module is operated in conjunction with a Sentry controller, the alarms outputs in the module can
both be set to “Sentry”, allowing the Sentry controller to manage alarm acknowledge and reset rather than
the sensor module. The alarm relay outputs are triggered by the alarm values established in the module,
and can be independent of the settings in the Sentry controller.
The Sentry configuration allows daisy chain installation using the Sentry multiplex capability, thus reducing
costs by avoiding the requirement for wiring junction boxes. The connector card has two sets of
connections, allowing for a continuous run to the next module.
1.4.2 MODBUS OPERATION
An RS-485 Modbus RTU serial interface allows direct connection to standard PLCs and DCSs. The
Module Address Switch (section 3.5) allows the user to select up to 16 different Modbus addresses. Also,
an additional 238 Modbus addresses (for a total of 254 different Modbus Addresses) are available via
menu selection. Figure 3-6 in this manual provides the wiring terminations for Modbus connections. The
5100-XX-IT provides the additional terminal connectors to enable the user to connect In/Out terminations of
a RS-485 connection.
1.4.3 ANALOG OPERATION
The 4-20 mA interface allows direct connection to standard analog controllers or PLCs. The 5100-XX-IT 420 mA connection can be wired as a Type 3 (3-wire) or Type 4 (4-wire) circuit as described by ANSI/ISA-
50.00.01-1975 Standard (see figure 3-5).
1.4.4 REMOTE SENSOR AND DISPLAY (APPENDIX D)
The Remote Sensor and Display option (5394-52) can be used to remotely mount the sensor up to 100’
from the transmitter.
An input is available for connection of remote alarm reset/acknowledge. Figure 3-4 provides the wiring
termination for connecting the remote alarm reset. This only resets local alarms, not Sentry alarms. This
input can be wired as supervised or non-supervised.
Note that when the Remote Alarm Reset is operated in a supervised mode that both the switch and resistor
must be present as outlined in Figure 3-7.
1.4.6 OPTIONAL INTEGRAL RELAYS
The optional relays are integral to the gas sensor module and are rated as SPDT, 250VAC, 8 Amps for the
High Alarm and Low Alarm relays and SPDT, 250 VAC, 2 Amp for the Trouble relay.
If the gas sensor module is provided with the optional relays, it will include Terminal P4 on the interface
board (Figure 3-2). Relay output connections are on P4.
MECHANICAL
The sensor module of comprised of the following three primary components:

delivery fitting.
1.5 INTERCONNECT WIRING
Not supplied with the sensor module, but necessary to the installation and operation is the multi conductor
wiring which connects the module to its power source and controller. Before this wiring is installed it is
important to read and understand the control system installation instructions to determine wiring requirements
and alternatives.
1.6 POWER REQUIREMENTS
IT modules operate on DC power between 10 VDC and 30 VDC. Regulated DC power must be supplied from
a separate source, or from an approved Sentry or IT controller.

2. CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
2.1 INTRODUCTION
Although IT Transmitter Modules are designed and constructed for installation and operation in industrial
applications including "hostile" environments, caution should be taken to insure that the installation is made in
compliance with this instruction manual and that certain procedures and conditions are avoided. This chapter
discusses the necessary cautions. Read the entire chapter prior to installation of the equipment.
2.2 IT MODULES - GENERAL
Avoid installing sensor modules where they will be unnecessarily exposed to wind, dust, water (esp. direct
hose down), shock, or vibration. Observe temperature range limitations.
Sensors may be adversely affected by prolonged exposure to certain materials. Loss of sensitivity, or
corrosion, may be gradual if such materials are present in low concentrations. These materials include:
Halides (compounds containing chlorine, fluorine, bromine, iodine), acid vapors, caustic liquids or mists.
Care has been taken by the manufacturer to ship your modules in protective packaging to avoid contamination
prior to installation. It is recommended that the modules remain protected during installation and that the
covering be removed immediately prior to system start-up.
During normal use the sensor is protected from dirt and oil contamination by a sintered metal cover. If this
cover becomes clogged, the response of the sensor will be reduced. Protect the sensor from contamination
by careful placement, or by use of rain and dust shields.
Sensor modules must not be painted. Paint may contain compounds which will contaminate the sensor. Paint
will cause clogging of the sintered metal cover and will cause difficulties during attachment of the calibration
head or other maintenance activity. It is recommended that the module be tagged
2.3 WIRING
"DO NOT PAINT".
The manufacturer recommends that extra caution be taken where the installation is near any sources of
electromagnetic or radio frequency interference. Precautions include:
• Avoid running sensor module cable close to high power cables, radio transmission lines, or cables
subject to pulses of high current.
• Avoid running cables near large electric motors or generators.
• When the sensor module is to be operated in analog (4-20mA output) mode shielded cable is required.
• When the risk of interference is present use shielded cables. In conduit installations the shield should
be connected to the conduit. In cable applications the shield should be connected to the cable
connector.
•All splices must be via either a termination hardware system or soldered. Improperly spliced cable can
result in corrosion, resistance changes and system errors.
Installation and wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
AC Voltage conductors are not to be run in the same conduit as DC voltage
NOTE
conductors.

3. INSTALLATION
All modules are tagged to indicate the configuration including the sensor module number.
All IT modules are factory are pre-configured and calibrated.
Identify all components during unpacking and install using the factory configuration.
3.1 SENSOR MODULE LOCATIONS
NOTE
Select locations for each sensor modules based on the following:
• Modules should be placed close to the potential source of gas.
• Modules should be placed in areas accessible for calibration.
• Sensors should be pointed down and the conduit should include an inverse trap to reduce moisture
(condensation) from accumulating in the electronics enclosure.
• Remote calibration fitting (5360-00) should be used to facilitate calibration gas delivery. Run
polyurethane tubing (1/4” O.D. x 1/8” I.D.) from fitting to an accessible location.
3.2 WIRING
3.2.1 ANALOG 4-20 mA OPERATION
The 4-20 mA output for the 5100-XX-IT can be either 3-wire or 4-wire operation. If using 3-wire operation,
use a minimum of 18 AWG, shielded, 3-conductor cable up to 2000’. For 4-wire operation, use a minimum
of 2 each, 18 AWG, twisted, shielded, pair up to 2000’.
3.2.2 MODBUS OPERATION USING RS-485 CONNECTION
Use a minimum of 18 AWG, 2 conductor for DC power connection. No shield required. In addition use a
minimum of 24 AWG, low capacitance, shielded data cable for RS-485 half duplex communication. The
installation may be planned in a manner which provides up to 32 sensor modules on a single home run.
Refer to Figure 3-3 units ship with BIAS jumpers connected. For all installations, except very long cable
runs, these jumpers connected. The TERM jumpers should be installed in the last (furthest) module of
every loop.
3.2.3 SENTRY OPERATION USING SMC SENTRY CONNECTION
Wire shall be rated as 600 volt tray cable, such as Belden (or equivalent) 27331 or 27331 AS (shielded). If
high RFI or EMI levels exist wiring should be protected by conduit or shield. The installation may be
planned in a manner which provides up to 4 sensor modules on a single home run to a Sentry controller.
NOTE:
Be sure to follow all local electric code and safety requirements when installing the 5100-XX-IT Gas Sensor Module
3.2.4 GENERAL
Install conduit as required by local code or construction specifications. When sensor modules are to be
multiplexed for Sentry or RS-485 communication two alternatives may be planned:
• Install splice boxes above each sensor module. Use multi-position positive contact terminals to
connect daisy chain wiring and provide a pigtail to connect to the sensor module transmitter board.
Page: 7
Page 12
NOTES
The drain wire of shielded cable must NOT be used as one of the conductors.
Installation and wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Temperature
rating of cable wire must be at least 75oC. If cable runs through higher temperature
environments, it must be specified for that environment.
3.3 ENCLOSURE INSTALLATION
To protect the transmitter and sensor assembly they should be removed from the enclosure and preserved
until final installation and wiring termination.
Prior to installation and wiring.
1. Remove the transmitter from the module housing by:
• Unscrew the two captive panel screws in the face plate.
• Lift the transmitter out of the housing.
• Unplug the sensor cable from transmitter connector P2.
• Remove the sensor assembly from the enclosure hub.
2. Install the module housing onto the end of the supply conduit and/or bolt into position as required.
NOTES
When housing earth grounding is required for the installation a grounding lug is located in the
base of the enclosure. Install the earth ground wire under the green lug.
When installing the enclosure be sure to mount the FM Approved plate near the sensor
enclosure. This plate states “Caution: this area must be known to be free of flammable
concentrations prior to opening the enclosure.”
3.4 TRANSMITTER AND SENSOR INSTALLATION
When all pre-wire is complete:
1. Install sensor assembly in the open hub on the module enclosure. The sensor assembly thread
must be fully seated into the hub and tightened to maintain explosion proof assembly.
2. Connect the wires which return to the controller to interface board connectors P1, P2, P3 and P4
according to Figure 3-2.
3. Connect the sensor assembly cable to top transmitter board connector P2.
4. Align the headers between the top transmitter board and the lower interface board and push
together.
5. Turn rotary switch to correct sensor address.
The interface board should be wired to remote controllers first before installing the front

5. CALIBRATION
5.1 CALIBRATION FREQUENCY
The 5100-XX-IT has been calibrated in the factory prior to shipment. It is recommended that the user check
calibration before placing in service. The toxic sensor module must be calibrated every six months. Periodic
functional tests are advisable for critical applications and hostile environments.
The sensor module microprocessor software includes high level self checking algorithms which provide
continuous sensor diagnostic and self adjustment. Users may elect to increase calibration periods based on
low drift experience during the first two calibration periods.
5.2 CALIBRATION PREPARATION
Calibration of the Toxic Gas Sensor Module is accomplished by simple menu based steps and application of
span gas.
If an error is made during any stage of the calibration process, hold the magnet stick at the
Switch [M] for 10 seconds. A scrolling display will indicate “Calibration aborted” and the
sensor module will exit the calibration activity and return to normal operating mode. The
calibration procedure can then be restarted
NOTE
Calibration must be performed only when the area is known to be clear of the applicable toxic gas. If
necessary, use a portable instrument to confirm that there is no background toxic gas.
For compliance with Factory Mutual (FM) Apparatus, the Sierra Monitor Model 1250-01, 1256-01, 1260-XX are
the only FM Approved calibration gas delivery device. Use Model 5358-00 or 5358-01 Calibration Adapter or
Model 5360-00 Gas Delivery Fitting.
5.2.1 CALIBRATION GAS DELIVERY METHODS
Calibration gas is can be delivered to the sensors via the following delivery devices:
Model 5358-00: Calibration Adapter - used with portable calibrators. See 5-1.
Model 5360-00: Calibration Gas Delivery fitting - permanently installed fitting which
allows tubing to be run to a convenient delivery location
5.3 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Table 5-1 shows the step by step process of the calibration procedure.
The procedures requires that the menu “keys” be activated using the magnet stick.
Each key press steps through the process of setting the zero value for clean air and
then setting the span value.
At each of these steps, apply calibration gas of the value corresponding to the
setting accepted on the sensor module display.

6.2 ENCLOSURE REPLACEMENT
Figure 6-1
Module Components
Page: 26
Page 31
Model 5100-XX-IT Toxic Gas Sensor Module
The enclosure should be replaced if the cover threads or conduit threads have been damaged, or if the
enclosure has been damaged sufficiently that it no longer meets the required NEMA classification.
To replace the enclosure follow the transmitter and sensor assembly removal instructions, remove the
damaged enclosure from its conduit, install a new enclosure and replace the transmitter and sensor assembly.
6.3 TRANSMITTER REPLACEMENT
The transmitter assembly should be replaced when it is determined that it is unreliable, noisy or cannot be
adjusted for calibration. This may occur due to age, corrosion or failed components.
To replace the transmitter assembly:
a. Remove the cover of the main enclosure
b. Unscrew the two thumb screws in the top of the cover plate, lift the assembly and rotate 90
wiring service loop
c. Unplug the sensor connector from the transmitter
d. Plug connector into new transmitter (be sure to match numbers between connector and socket).
e. Restore power and allow a minimum of 3 hours for stabilization before re-calibration
6.4 SENSOR REPLACEMENT
The gas sensor which is located inside the sensor assembly housing can be replaced without replacement of
the housing. The gas sensor needs replacement when:
The “CAL-FAIL” message appears after calibration
The sensor output signal is noisy, causing erroneous gas level readings
To replace the sensor:
a. Confirm that system power has been removed
b. Remove the gas sensor module enclosure cover,
c. Unscrew the two thumb screws in the top of the faceplate, lift the transmitter assembly and rotate 90
relieve the wiring service loop.
d. Unplug the sensor connector from the transmitter
e. Unscrew the old sensor assembly from the enclosure conduit hub. Remove the sensor assembly with its
harness
f. Unscrew sensor housing cover from the sensor (be sure to loosen the set screw first)
g. Carefully pull the old sensor straight up from the socket
h. Press the new sensor into the socket.
i. Reverse the preceding steps to install the sensor assembly.
j. Allow the new sensor to stabilize for a minimum of 3 hours and then calibrate using the procedure in
Section 6.
