BASIC OPERATION - CONTROLLER
FACEPLATE DESCRIPTION
The controller faceplate provides a number of LEDs for identifying status conditions, two digital
displays and a bar graph display for indicating the sensor inputs, as well as MENU/SET and
SELECT/RESET magnetic reed switches for programming, calibrating and resetting the system.
Refer to Figure 2.
S Digital Displays - Two digital displays are used to display the sensor inputs in both the
Normal and Calibrate Modes; one display indicates the channel and one display indicates
the corresponding sensor input. In the event of a fault, it identifies the nature of the fault
using an alphanumeric code. In the Normal Operating Mode, each channel is sequentially
displayed for 5 seconds. In other operating modes, the digital displays show the alarm
set-points and programmed calibration gas concentration. A negative zero drift condition
is indicated by a minus sign in the left-hand digit. Since at least one display is always lit, it
also functions as a power indicator.
S Bar Graph Display - The common 10-segment bar graph display provides readings of
the four sensor inputs in 5% of full range increments (ie. for a 50 ppm controller each
segment represents 2.5 ppm, which is 5% of the full range of 50 ppm), from 0% to 50% of
full range; all 10 segments are illuminated for 50% of full range and higher gas
concentrations.
S High Alarm LED (HI) - Flashes in response to a sensor signal that exceeds the high
set-point.
S Low Alarm LED (LOW) - Flashes in response to a sensor signal that exceeds the low
set-point.
- 3 -
S Calibrate LED (CAL) - Illuminates when the controller is in the Calibrate Mode.
S Fault LED (Fault) - Illuminates upon detection of an overall system fault or a channel
related fault.
S Channel LEDs - illuminated when status on the corresponding channel is displayed on
the common indicators (digital displays and bar graph). During power-up, a channel LED
is on if the channel is selected for operation.
S MENU/SET reed switch - Changes the menu display as well as other system
programming and calibration functions.
S SELECT/RESET reed switch - Menu selection and other system programming and
resets the controller.

OUTPUTS
Relay Outputs:
The relay outputs have SPDT contacts rated at 5 Amperes at 30 V dc or 250 V ac The four relays
include an Area 1 low alarm (channels 1 and 2), an Area 2 low alarm (channels 3 and 4), one
common high alarm, and a fault alarm.
RECOMMENDATION
The fault relay output should not be used to activate an automatic shutdown procedure.
The fault output indicates a potential problem with the controller, not an alarm condition.
Current Outputs:
Two 4-20 mA dc current outputs for transmitting system information to other devices are also
included. The current outputs can be wired for isolated or non-isolated operation by changing the
positions of jumpers, as shown in Figure 3. Refer to Table 1 for a description of the current output
signal levels.

PROGRAMMING OPTIONS
A set of dip-switches, located on the circuit board, can be used to ‘program’ various options and
set-points, including:
-the channels selected for operation
-low and high alarm settings
-calibration gas concentration
-power-up delay time (either 45 or 90 seconds)
-latching / non-latching selection
-energized / de-energized selection
- 5 -
The alarm outputs are DIP-switch programmable for either normally energized or normally de-
energized operation (programmable as a group only, not individually). The fault output is normally
energized. The low alarm outputs are programmable for either latching or non-latching operation.
The high alarm output is always latching and the fault output is non-latching. Refer to Table 2.

EXTERNAL RESET
A normally open, momentary closure switch can be connected between the external reset terminal
and the negative power terminal to provide remote reset capabilities.
AUTOMATIC DIAGNOSTICS AND FAULT IDENTIFICATION
The microprocessor-based controller features self-testing circuitry that continuously checks for
problems that could prevent proper system response. W hen power is applied, the microprocessor
automatically tests memory. In the Normal Operating Mode, it continuously monitors the input
signals from the sensor/transmitter to ensure proper functioning. In addition, a ‘watchdog’ timer is
maintained to ensure that the program is running correctly. The timer resets the micro-controller if
it enters erroneous processor states within a reasonable period of time.
If a fault is detected, the Fault LED illuminates, the digital display identifies that a fault has
occurred, the fault relay output becomes de-energized, and the current output drops to 1 mA. The
nature of the fault can be identified by a numeric code, which can be viewed in the Error Message
Display mode.
OPERATING MODES
The controller can operate in any of the modes discussed in this section. Operating modes other
than Normal are selected by activating the appropriate MENU/SET and SELECT/RESET reed
switches located on the controller front panel. Refer to Figure 2 for a diagram of the controller
front panel.
NOTE
This section provides an overview of the basic operation of the controller. Refer to ‘Unit
III’ for detailed instructions and description.
Normal Operating Mode:
- 6 -
If no alarms or faults are occur, the module will be in a Level 1 Display Mode; the bar graph and
digital display sequentially indicate the sensor inputs for 5 seconds on each channel, and all LEDs
are off except the appropriate channel LEDs. Relay outputs are in their normal state, and the
current outputs correspond to the sensor inputs.
If a low alarm condition occurs on any channel, the module will be in a Level 2 Display Mode; the
bar graph and digital display will display only the channel that is in alarm. If more than one
channel is in alarm, the channel with the highest alarm will be displayed and the channel LED for
any other channel(s) in alarm will flash. The low alarm LED will flash, the low alarm relay(s)
change state, and the current outputs change to indicate the alarm. If the signal(s) decreases
below the low set-point again, the corresponding alarm relays return to their normal state if
programmed for non-latching operation and remain unchanged if programmed for latching
operation. The current outputs will return to the normal output level. The low alarm LED will still
illuminate whenever the channel which had the alarm condition is displayed.
If a high alarm condition occurs, the module will be in a Level 3 Display Mode; the bar graph and
digital display will cycle through all channels with a high alarm condition. W hile one channel is
displayed, the channel LED for any other channel in a high or low alarm state will flash.
NOTE
When 1 or more channels are in a high alarm condition and 1 or more channels are in a
low alarm condition, only the channels in the high alarm condition will be cycled on the
display. The channel LED for any channel in the low alarm condition will flash.
Reset Mode:
The Reset Function is entered by activating the SELECT/RESET reed switch located on the front
panel of the controller (refer to Figure 2). W hen the SELECT/RESET reed switch is activated
momentarily, all LEDs turn off and all outputs return to their normal condition if no alarms or
faults are occurring (basic reset).
Forced Reset Mode:
If any of the channels receive a reading beyond 100% of full scale, a reset will not clear the
alarms, even if the channel has returned to levels below the low alarm set point. The error
resulting from this occurrence must be cleared and a forced reset applied. To apply a forced
reset, activate the SELECT/RESET reed switch for 1 second, the LEDs turn off and the outputs
return to their normal condition. The remote reset performs a forced reset.
NOTE
The remote reset performs a reset function only. It cannot be used for other controller
functions.
Forced Display (FdP):
This mode forces a sequential display of all the active channels. It can be used during alarm
situations when the digital and bar graph display normally remain on the channel with the highest
alarm condition. This function is also useful while in menu functions that do not show the sensor
readings.
Sensor Replacement Mode (SrP):

This mode inhibits all controller outputs to allow replacement of the sensor(s) without removing
power from the controller. Alarm set-points and calibration gas concentration are not affected. The
left display will show ‘SrP’ while in the sensor replace mode. The right display will show the status
of the sensor being replaced (‘NoS’ means no sensor is connected). The fault LED is on and the
fault relay is de-energized. The channel LED will be on for the sensor being replaced.
All other sensors remain active during sensor replace mode. If an alarm condition occurs on one
of the active channels while in this mode, the appropriate channel LED will flash and relays and
current outputs will act accordingly. All other display features will be inhibited. In order to exit this
mode the SELECT/RESET reed switch must be activated. The controller will perform a power-up
countdown (45 or 90 seconds) for the sensor that was replaced and the affected current output
will be 1 mA during this time.
Sensor Calibration Mode (CAL):
The Uni-Trol Controller uses a fully automatic calibration procedure that requires no adjustments™
by the operator. The controller displays ‘Air’ on the left display and the channel status on the right
display while automatically performing the zero adjustments. Next the controller will signal the
user to apply the calibration gas by alternating ‘gAS’ and ‘in’ on the display. W hen the controller
detects that the gas has been applied to the sensor, the display will read ‘gAS’. Once the
controller has finished the gain adjustments it will alternate ‘Cut’ and ‘gAS’ on the display, telling
the user that it is time to remove the calibration gas. Upon completion of the calibration the
controller will automatically return to the normal operating mode.
If the operator fails to complete the calibration procedure, if an error in the calibration procedure
occurs, or if a successful calibration cannot be completed, the microprocessor will automatically
return to the Normal Operating Mode and continue to use the previous calibration data. A fault
indication will be displayed until a reset occurs. If the microprocessor determines that the sensor
is approaching the end of its useful life, a fault code will indicate this.
W hile in the calibration mode, all controller outputs for the affected channel are inhibited, the
current output is 3 mA, and the ‘Cal’ LED is illuminated. All other channels remain active,
however, if an alarm condition occurs, the only display indication will be a flashing channel LED;
all other display features will be inhibited.
Set-Point Display (Spd):
In this mode, the digital display sequentially shows the programmed low and high alarm set-points
and calibration gas concentration. Each value is displayed for approximately 2 seconds.
Address Set (Adr Set) (Do not use):
Do not use the communication addresses.
Error Message Display (Err Chc):
The microprocessor-based controller features self-testing circuitry that continuously checks for
problems that could prevent proper system response. As a diagnostic and troubleshooting tool,
identifiable faults are displayed on the digital display, using error codes, during the Error Message
Display Mode. The controller will also display an error message after the last channel in the
cycling routine.
Channel Display (Chd):
In this mode, the displays can be forced to monitor only one channel, as long as no alarms are
occurring on other channels. If an alarm occurs on the channel that is being monitored, the
controller will remain in the manual display mode. If an alarm occurs on any other channel the
controller will automatically return to the Normal Operating Mode.

INSTALLATION
SENSOR LOCATIONS
Proper location of the sensors is essential for providing maximum protection. The method for
deciding the most effective number and placement of sensors varies depending on the conditions
at the job site. The individual performing the installation must rely on experience, common sense,
and knowledge of plant operations to determine the number of sensors needed and the best
controller locations to adequately protect the area.
The following factors are important and should be considered for every installation:
< Sensors should be located where they are safe from potential sources of contamination.
< Refer to sensor application manuals and follow guidelines for sensor installation.
< Sensors must be accessible for testing and calibration.
< Exposure to excessive heat or vibration can cause premature failure of electronic devices,
and should be avoided if possible.
GENERAL WIRING REQUIREMENTS
NOTE
The wiring procedures in this manual are intended to ensure proper functioning of the
device under normal conditions. However, because of the many variations in wiring codes
and regulations, total compliance to these ordinances cannot be guaranteed. Be certain
that all wiring complies with applicable regulations that relate to the installation of
electrical equipment in a hazardous area. If in doubt, consult a qualified official before
wiring the system .
The use of shielded cable is highly recommended for any signal wires to protect against
interference caused by extraneous electrical 'noise'. This includes power and current outputs;
relay outputs do not require shielded cable. In applications where the wiring cable is installed in
conduit, the conduit must not be used for wiring to other electrical equipment.
W ater will damage electronic devices. Moisture in the air can condense within electrical conduit
and drain into the enclosure, therefore, water-proof and explosion-proof conduit seals are
recommended to prevent water accumulation within the enclosure. Seals should be located as
close to the device as possible and not more than 18 inches (46 cm) away. Explosion-proof
installations may require an additional seal where conduit enters a non-hazardous area. Conform
to local wiring codes.
W hen pouring a seal, use a fibre dam to assure proper formation of the seal. The seals should
never be poured at temperatures below freezing.
The jacket and shielding of the cable should be stripped back to permit the seal to form around
the individual wires. This will prevent air, gas and water leakage through the inside of the shield
and into the enclosure.
It is recommended that explosion-proof drains and conduit breathers be used. In some
applications, alternate changes in temperature and barometric pressure can cause 'breathing'
which allows moist air to enter and circulate inside the conduit. Joints in the conduit system are
seldom tight enough to prevent this 'breathing'.
The maximum distance between the sensor and controller is limited by the resistance of the
connecting wiring, which is a function of the gauge of the wire being used. Refer to the manuals
- 9 -
on the sensors used (and transmitters if used) for maximum wiring distances and wiring
instructions.
CONTROLLER WIRING
NOTE
The controller contains semiconductor devices that are susceptible to damage by
electrostatic discharge. An electrostatic charge can build up on the skin and discharge
when an object is touched. Therefore, use caution when handling, taking care not to touch
the terminals or electronic components. For more information on proper handling, refer to
the Appendix A.
The Uni-trol™ controllers can be wired for isolated or non-isolated current outputs by changing the
positions of ‘J12' and ‘J18', as shown in Figure 3. Figures 4a, 5a and 6a show the proper wiring of
the controllers for non-isolated current outputs with 2 and 3 wire sensors. Figures 4b, 5b and 6b
show the proper wiring for isolated current outputs with 2 and 3 wire sensors.
NOTE
If local wiring codes permit, and if a ground fault monitoring system is not being used, the
minus side of the DC power source can be connected to chassis (earth) ground.
Alternatively, a 0.47 microfarad, 100 Volt capacitor can be installed (-ve to ground) for
best immunity against electromagnetic interference.

DIP SWITCH SETTINGS
NOTE
See Table 4 for a list of the standard factory settings.
It is essential that the controller be properly programmed before applying power to the system.
There are three banks of dip switches located on the controller. Each switch bank has eight
individual switches that can be set to an on or off position.
NOTE
The dip switches are located on the circuit board. The switch banks are numbered from
bottom to top as numbers SW3, SW4, and SW5. Refer to Figure 7a. Individual switches
are referenced as ‘X.Y’, where ‘X’ refers to the bank number and ‘Y’ refers to the switch
number on ‘X’ bank. For example, switch 3.4 (SW3.4) is switch number four on bank
number three.
Switches are set as either OFF or ON. Refer to Figure 7b.
Figure 7a - Dip Switch Position
NOTE: TO MAKE DIP SWITCH CHANGES
TAKE EFFECT, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT POWER TO THE CONTROLLER IS CYCLED
OFF AND ON AFTER ANY DIP SWITCH CHANGES!
ACTIVE CHANNELS
Switches for setting the active channels (the channels that are to have sensors/transmitters
attached) can be found on Switch Bank 3, switches 1 to 4 (SW 3.1 through SW 3.4). Set the
designated switch to OFF if the channel is to be connected (sensor attached), and ON if the
channel is not to be used.
SW 3.1: OFF channel 1 connected
ON channel 1 not connected
SW 3.2: OFF channel 2 connected
ON channel 2 not connected
SW 3.3: OFF channel 3 connected
ON channel 3 not connected
SW 3.4: OFF channel 4 connected
ON channel 4 not connected
CALIBRATION GAS CONCENTRATION
- 17 -
Calibration gas concentration for all channels are set together using the dip switches on the circuit
board. To select the calibration gas concentration of 50% of full scale, set SW 3.5 to OFF. If a
selectable value (from 20% to 99% of full scale) is required, set SW 3.5 to ON; SW 4.1 through
SW 4.7 must then be used to select the calibration gas concentration.
SW 3.5: OFF calibration gas set to 50%
(ignore SW 4.1 - SW 4.7)
ON calibration gas selectable
(set SW 4.1 - SW 4.7)
NOTE
If SW3.5 is set to ON’, it is very important to accurately set SW4.1 to SW4.7.
If the selectable option is chosen, the calibration gas concentration must be set. This is done on
Switch Bank 4, switches 1 through 7 (SW 4.1 to SW 4.7). The required calibration gas
concentration must be set with these switches using the binary counting system. ON selects the
value listed below; OFF selects a zero.
SW 4.1: ON 1%
SW 4.2: ON 2%
SW 4.3: ON 4% calibration
SW 4.4: ON 8% gas
SW 4.5: ON 16% concentration
SW 4.6: ON 32%
SW 4.7: ON 64%
The switches can be used in combination to select concentrations from 20% to 99% of full scale.

NOTE
If a calibration gas concentration greater than 99% or less than 20% of full scale is
programmed, the controller will give a configuration error (E90) when power is applied.
POWER-UP TIME DELAY
SW 3.6 is used to select the power-up time delay.
SW 3.6: OFF 45 seconds
ON 90 seconds
NOTE
SW3.7 and SW3.8 are not used.
ALARM SETTINGS
- 19 -
Switch bank 4, switch 8 (SW 4.8) is used to set the low and high alarm to a default or selectable
value. If SW 4.8 is OFF’ the low alarm will be set to 20% of the full scale and the high alarm to
40% of full scale. If SW 4.8 is ON, the low and high alarm are selectable, using SW 5.3 to SW 5.8.
SW 4.8: OFF low alarm @ 20% full scale
high alarm @ 40% full scale
(ignore SW 5.3 - SW 5.8)
ON selectable alarm
(set SW 5.3 - SW 5.8)
NOTE
If SW4.8 is set to ON, it is very important to accurately set SW5.3 to SW5.8.
If the selectable option is chosen, the alarms must be set with SW 5.3 to SW 5.8. The low alarm
can be set from 5% to 40% of full scale and the high alarm is automatically set at twice the low
alarm value. The low alarm value is set using the binary counting system. ON selects the value
listed below; OFF selects a zero.
SW 5.3: ON 1%
SW 5.4: ON 2%
SW 5.5: ON 4%
SW 5.6: ON 8%
SW 5.7: ON 16%
SW 5.8: ON 32%
The switches can be used in combination to select low alarm settings from 5% to 40% of full
scale. If a low alarm level less than 5% or greater than 40% of full scale is programmed, the
controller will give a configuration error (E90) upon power up.

START-UP PROCEDURE
1 Output loads that are normally actuated by the system should be secured.
Remove power from all of the output devices to prevent undesired activation.
2 Check all external wiring for proper connections. Be sure that the sensor has
been wired properly.
3 Before installing the controller, inspect it to verify that it has not been physically
damaged in shipment. Check the dip switches on the controller for proper
programming.
4 Apply power to the system.
NOTE
The controller has a 45 or 90 second delay (as programmed), before beginning normal
operation, after power is applied to the system. During this time the outputs are inhibited,
- 25 -
the Fault LED is illuminated, the left digital display cycles through the active channels, and
the right digital display counts down from 45 or 90. This delay allows time for the sensors
to stabilize before beginning normal operation.
5 Put the controller in the Set-point Display Mode to check the present alarm set-
points and calibration gas concentration. If changes are required, refer to the ‘Dip
Switch Setting’ section of the manual.
6 Calibrate the sensor(s); refer to the Sensor Calibration Procedure.
7 Remove mechanical blocking devices (if used) and restore power to the output
loads.
MAIN MENU SELECTIONS
ERROR CHECK MODE (Err Chc)
The microprocessor-based controller features self-testing circuitry that continuously checks for
problems that could prevent proper system response. As a diagnostic and troubleshooting tool,
identifiable faults are displayed on the digital display during the Error Message Display Mode.
Two types of faults are identified: system faults and channel faults. Table 7 lists the codes and
the corresponding conditions.
If a fault should occur:
- the normally energized fault output is de-energized,
- the Fault LED is illuminated, and
- if no alarm is occurs and the controller is sequentially displaying each sensor input, the message
‘Err’ ‘Fnd’ (left and right displays) will be displayed after each sequence.
To view the fault code, enter the Main Menu and then momentarily activate the SELECT/RESET
reed switch when ‘Err’ is displayed on the right digital display. Next, activate the MENU/SET reed
switch repeatedly; the left digital display will sequentially show:
‘SYS’ - system faults
‘CH1' - channel 1 faults
‘CH2' - channel 2 faults
‘CH3' - channel 3 faults
‘CH4' - channel 4 faults
‘Clr’ - clear faults
NOTE
If no errors exist, this function is hidden and can not be accessed.
To select the fault to be displayed, momentarily activate the SELECT/RESET reed switch when
the required fault is displayed on the left digital display. The left digital display will show the
channel (or system) and the right digital display will show the fault code (for 5 seconds) then move
to the next channel.
NOTE
Faults that affect the actual function of the controller (50, 60, 70, 9X) can impair the ability
of the controller to maintain an alarm output.
All faults automatically reset except the 9X, 20, and 10 faults. After the fault condition has been
corrected, the fault output automatically switches to the normal (energized) state, the DC current
output returns to normal, and the Fault LED turns off. Clearing 9X faults requires removing
- 26 -
operating power from the controller for approximately one second. Clearing 20 and 10 requires a
reset.
CAUTION
The fault detection circuitry does not monitor the operation of external response
equipment or the external wiring to these devices. It is important that these devices be
checked periodically to ensure that they are operational.
SET-POINT DISPLAY MODE (SPd)
1 In this mode, the digital displays sequentially display the low and high alarm and
calibration gas concentration automatically. This function is used to check the
present alarm and calibration gas set-point values.
2 To enter the Set-point Display Mode, enter the Main Menu, activate the
MENU/SET reed switch repeatedly until ‘Spd’ is displayed on the right digital
display, then momentarily activate the SELECT/RESET reed switch.
3 The Low LED goes on, ‘LoA’ is shown on the left digital display, and the low
alarm set-point is shown on the right digital display for 2 seconds.
4 The Low LED goes out, the High LED goes on, ‘HiA’ is shown on the left digital
display, and the high alarm set-point is shown on the right display for 2 seconds.
5 The High LED goes out, the Cal LED goes on, ‘CAL’ is shown on the left display,
and the calibration gas concentration (in percent LEL) is shown on the right
display for 2 seconds.
6 The Cal LED goes out, ‘Adr’ is shown on the left display and the right digital
display shows the communication address for the Digital Communication for 2
seconds. Address setting is not used.
7 Finally, the controller returns to the normal operating mode (it is no longer in the
main menu).
8 If adjustments to the set-points are required, the settings on the programming dip
switches must be changed; Refer to ‘DIP SW ITCH SETTINGS’ in the ‘SYSTEM
INSTALLATIONS’ section of this manual for instructions. W hen the set-point
levels are acceptable, record this information for future reference and proceed to
‘CALIBRATION.’
NOTE
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT POWER TO THE CONTROLLER IS RECYCLED
AFTER ANY DIP SWITCH CHANGES, TO MAKE THE CHANGES TAKE EFFECT!

SENSOR CALIBRATION (CAL)
General Information
- 28 -
Various factors affect the interval between periodic calibrations. Exposure to certain contaminants
in the air, accumulation of contaminants on the filter, or an extended period of normal operation
can cause changes in sensitivity. Since each application is different, the length of time between
regularly scheduled calibrations can vary from one installation to the next. In general, the more a
system is checked, the greater the reliability. A calibration must be performed:
- when a new system is initially put into service,
- when the sensor is replaced, or
- when a controller is replaced.
IMPORTANT
To ensure adequate protection, the detection system must be calibrated on a regularly
scheduled basis.
The Controller uses a fully automatic calibration procedure that requires no adjustments by the
operator. The controller performs the zero adjustments, then signals the operator when to apply
and when to remove the calibration gas.
W hile in the Sensor Calibrate Mode, all controller outputs are inhibited, the current output is 3 mA,
and the Cal LED is illuminated.
NOTE
If the sensor is being replaced, refer to the 'Sensor Replacement' section (under
'Maintenance') in this manual for information regarding replacement and calibration of the
sensor.
Calibration Procedure
1 The sensor should be allowed to stabilize for a minimum of 4 hours, although it is
best to allow 24 hours for the sensor to stabilize.
2 Be certain that the controller is properly programmed for the gas concentration
being used for calibration. (Refer to ‘SET-POINT DISPLAY MODE’ to check
programmed value.) Reprogram the controller if required. (Refer to ‘DIP SW ITCH
SETTINGS.’) Failure to do so will greatly impair system response.
NOTE
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT POWER TO THE CONTROLLER IS RECYCLED
AFTER ANY DIP SWITCH CHANGES, TO MAKE THE CHANGES TAKE EFFECT!
3 Be sure that only clean air is present at the sensor. The microprocessor begins
taking zero readings immediately upon entering the Calibrate Mode. If the
possibility of background gases exists, purge the sensor with clean air to assure
an accurate calibration.
4 Enter the Main Menu, activate the MENU/SET reed switch repeatedly until ‘CAL’
is shown on the right digital display, then momentarily activate the
SELECT/RESET reed switch.
5 Once in the sensor calibrate mode, the right digital display will continue to show
‘CAL’ and the left digital display will show ‘Chn’. Activate the MENU/SET reed
switch repeatedly until the desired channel is shown on the left digital display,
then momentarily activate the RESET/SELECT reed switch.
- 29 -
6 Once the required channel has been selected, the controller will automatically
start taking zero readings. The left digital display will show ‘Air’ and the right
display will flash a value close to zero. W hen the zero calculations are complete
(30 seconds minimum), the right digital display stops flashing and reads '00'; the
left display will now alternately display ‘gAS’ and ‘in’.
7 Apply the calibration gas to the sensor. The right digital display starts to flash, and
the value indicated on the display rises. The bar graph display also indicates the
level of gas at the sensor, but does not flash. The left display will show ‘gAS’.
8 W hen the microprocessor has completed the gain adjustments (30 seconds
minimum), the right digital display stops flashing and the left display will
alternately display ‘Cut’ and ‘gAS’.
9 Remove the calibration gas. W hen the gas level falls to half the low alarm
set-point, the controller automatically returns to the normal operating mode.
10 If another sensor must be calibrated, return to step 1.
If the operator fails to complete the calibration procedure or if the sensitivity of the sensor has
deteriorated to the extent that calibrations cannot be successfully completed, a calibration fault
(‘E2X’ status) will be generated. The system will automatically revert to the former calibration
settings (after 10 minutes or when the gas level drops below the lowest set-point). If a successful
calibration cannot be accomplished, replace the sensor and calibrate (refer to the
transmitter/sensor manual, as some transmitters will have gain jumpers which need to be
changed and the sensor may still be useful).
If the microprocessor determines that the sensor is approaching the end of its useful life or the
gain jumper on the transmitter needs to be changed, ‘E10' will be indicated on the digital display.
This does not indicate a system malfunction, but is intended to notify the operator of this condition.
A successful calibration can still be performed, but the operator should be prepared to change the
sensor at the time of the next calibration. Activate SELECT/RESET after completing calibration to
clear the display.
SENSOR REPLACEMENT MODE (SrP)
This mode inhibits all controller outputs to allow replacement of the sensor(s) without removing
power from the controller. Alarm set-points and calibration gas concentration are not affected. The
left display will show ‘SrP’ while in the sensor replace mode. The right display will show the status
of the sensor being replaced (‘NoS’ means no sensor is connected). The fault LED is on and the
fault relay is de-energized. The channel LED will be on for the sensor being replaced.
All other sensors remain active during sensor replace mode. If an alarm condition occurs on one
of the active channels while in this mode, the appropriate channel LED will flash and relays will act
accordingly. All other display features will be inhibited. In order to exit this mode the
SELECT/RESET reed switch must be activated. The controller will perform a power-up count
down (45 or 90 seconds) for the replaced sensor, and the affected current output will drop to 1
mA.
SPECIAL FUNCTION MENU SELECTIONS
FORCED CURRENT OUTPUTS (FoP)
- 30 -
The forced current output mode is used to check the current output calibration and the operation
of any devices connected to the current outputs.
To enter the forced current output mode, enter the special function menu. W hen ‘FoP’ is shown
on the right display, activate the SELECT/RESET reed switch. Upon successful entry into this
mode the left display will flash ‘gPn’. Activate the MENU/SET reed switch until the desired area
output is reached (‘GPA’ = Area 1 and ‘GPb’ = Area 2), then activate the SELECT/RESET reed
switch.
W hen an area has been chosen for forced current output, the left display will alternate between
‘GPX’ and ‘FoP’ and the right display will show what type of current output (in gas concentration)
is being placed on the current output line.
The push-button switches are used to change the current output. To exit this function, hold the
SELECT/RESET reed switch down until ‘rtn’ is shown on the right display. Release the reed
switch, and the controller will return to the normal operating mode in 10 seconds if no reed
switches are pushed.
CURRENT CALIBRATION MODE (CuC)
The next selection in the special function menu is the current calibration mode. This mode is
selected to calibrate the current outputs. The Area output to calibrate is chosen as in the Forced
Current Output Mode. Once an area has been selected, the left display will alternate between
‘CuC’ and the area that is being calibrated (‘GPX’). The right display will show a constant which
will rise and fall as the current is adjusted (does not show the current on the outputs). Place a
milliamp meter between the Area current output and system common. Use the magnetic reed
switches to raise and right the current. Once the current measured is as close to 4 mA as
possible, do not activate any reed switches for 10 seconds and the constant shown on the right
display will change to a much higher number. This tells the operator that it is time to calibrate the
higher end of the current output range. Use the magnetic reed switches to bring the current level
as close as possible to 20 mA. Do not activate any reed switches for 10 seconds and the constant
shown on the display will change to a lower number. Now it is time to calibrate the current output
to 3 mA for when the controller is in the calibration mode. Once this current level is set, do not
activate any reed switches for 10 seconds and the controller will return to the normal operating
mode.
ADDRESS SET MODE (Adr Set) (Do not use)
Do not use the next selection in the special function menu. It is the address set mode, used
to set the controllers address for the Digital Communication system. W hen the left display shows
‘Adr’ and the right display shows ‘SEt’ activate the SELECT/RESET reed switch. The left display
will alternate between ‘Adr’ and ‘SEt’ and the right display will show the current address. Use the
magnetic reed switches to raise and lower the address. Once the address is correct, do not
activate any reed switches for 10 seconds and the controller will return to the normal operating
mode.
CHANNEL DISPLAY(Chd)
- 31 -
In this mode, the displays can be forced to monitor only one channel, as long as no alarms are
occurring. If any alarm occurs, the controller will return back to the Normal Operating Mode for the
situation when an alarm is occurring.
Enter the Special Function Menu, activate the MENU/SET reed switch repeatedly until ‘Chd’ is
displayed on the right digital display, then momentarily activate the SELECT/RESET reed switch.
The left digital display will show ‘Chn’. Activate the MENU/SET reed switch repeatedly to toggle
through the channels (CH1, CH2, CH3, or CH4). To select a channel, momentarily activate the
SELECT/RESET reed switch when the required channel is displayed, on the left digital display.
The displays will now only display the information for the chosen channel.
To return to the normal operating mode, enter the manual display mode again and instead of
selecting a single channel, select ‘ALL’.
BYPASS (bPS)
The bypass mode is entered through the special functions menu. Enter the special functions
menu and activate the MENU/SET reed switch repeatedly until ‘bPS’ is shown on the right digital
display, then momentarily activate the SELECT/RESET reed switch. The right digital display will
still show ‘bPS’ and the left display will show ‘gPn’. Select the group to put in bypass mode by
activating the MENU/SET reed switch repeatedly until the desired group is shown, then activate
the SELECT/RESET reed switch momentarily.
W hile in bypass mode, the alarm outputs for the selected group(s) are inhibited. The HIGH alarm
relay is common to both groups, and is inhibited even if the unselected group has an alarm
condition. CAUTION SHOULD BE USED WHILE IN BYPASS MODE.
To exit the bypass mode, activate the SELECT/RESET reed switch momentarily.
OPERATING MODES
RESET MODE
The Reset Function is entered by activating the SELECT/RESET reed switch located on the front
panel of the controller (refer to Figure 2). W hen the SELECT/RESET reed switch is activated
momentarily, all LEDs turn off and all outputs return to their normal condition if no alarms or
faults are occurring.
FORCED RESET MODE
If any channel gets a reading beyond 100% of full scale, a reset will not clear the alarms, even if
the channel has returned to levels below the low alarm set point. The error resulting from this
occurrence must be cleared in the error check mode and then a forced reset must be applied. To
apply a forced reset, activate the SELECT/RESET reed switch for 1 second, the LEDs turn off
and the outputs return to their normal condition. Remote reset performs a forced reset.
NOTE
The remote reset performs a reset function only. It cannot be used for other controller
functions.
NORMAL OPERATING MODE
In the Normal Operating Mode with no alarm:
- 32 -
C The digital and bar graph displays are on and indicate the sensor(s) input(s). If only one
channel is active, then the displays will stay on that channel; if two or more channels are
active, the displays will sequentially display the channels, for 5 seconds each. The left
digital display will indicate the channel (CH1, CH2, CH3, or CH4) and the right digital
display will indicate the sensor reading.
C The Channel LEDs will indicate which channel the digital display is referring to.
C All other LEDs are off.
C Alarm relays are in their normal state, energized or de-energized as programmed.
C Fault relay is energized.
In the Normal Operating Mode with a low alarm(s) condition occurring:
C Digital and bar graph displays indicate the sensor input(s) as outlined above.
C If one channel is in alarm, the system will stay at that channel.
C If more than one channel is in alarm, the channel with the ‘highest’ alarm condition will be
displayed. The channel LED of other channels will flash to notify that an alarm condition
exists. To force the display of a channel with a ‘lower’ alarm, go into the Forced Display
Mode, as outlined in the next section.
C Low LED flashes.
C Low alarm relay changes state.
C Fault relay is energized and fault LED is off.
W hen the signal decreases below the low set-point:
C The digital display and bar graph display continue to track the sensor input.
C W ith latching operation programmed, low alarm relays will not change.
C W ith non-latching operation programmed, low alarm relays will return to their normal
state.
C Low Alarm LEDs are on steady, while the affected channel is displayed, until reset.
If a high alarm condition occurs, the module will be in a Level 3 Display Mode; the bar graph and
digital display will cycle through all channels with a high alarm condition. W hile one channel is
displayed, the channel LED for any other channel in a high or low alarm state will flash.
NOTE
When 1 or more channels are in a high alarm condition and 1 or more channels are in a
low alarm condition, only the channels in the high alarm condition will be cycled on the
display. The channel LED for any channel in the low alarm condition will flash.
If one or more channels reach an ‘over-range’ (>100% of full scale) condition, the error
must be cleared in the error check mode and then a forced reset must be performed once
the channel has returned to normal. A basic reset will not clear an over-range error.
FORCED DISPLAY (FdP)
In the normal operating mode with no alarms occurring, the digital and bar graph displays will
sequentially display each of the channel sensor readings. If an alarm condition occurs, the
displays will remain on the channel with the alarm (or ‘highest’ alarm if more than one channel is
- 33 -
in an alarm condition). In this situation, the forced display mode can be used to temporarily view
the sensor readings of the other channels.
To enter the Forced Display Mode, activate the MENU/SET reed switch for 2 seconds, until the
right digital display shows ‘FdP’. Momentarily activate the SELECT/RESET reed switch to select
this function. The digital displays will then sequentially display each of the active channels once
before automatically returning to the Normal Operating Mode.
Unit IV SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
To ensure reliable protection, it is important to check and calibrate the detection system on a
regularly scheduled basis. The frequency of these checks is determined by the requirements of
the particular installation.
MANUAL CHECK OF OUTPUT DEVICES
Fault detection circuitry continuously monitors for problems that could prevent proper system
response. It does not monitor external response equipment or the wiring to these devices. It is
important that these devices be checked initially when the system is installed and periodically
during the ongoing maintenance program.
SYSTEM CHECK IN NORMAL MODE
The system must be checked periodically in the Normal Operating Mode to ensure that those
items not checked by the controller diagnostic circuitry (such as output relays) are functioning
properly.
**CAUTION**
Be sure to secure all output devices actuated by the system to prevent unwanted acti-
vation of this equipment, and remember to place these same output devices back into
service when the checkout is complete.
SENSOR REPLACEMENT
The area must be declassified or power to the sensor must be removed prior to replacing the
sensor in a hazardous area.
- 34 -
1 Enter the Main Menu; momentarily activate the SELECT/RESET reed switch
once the message ‘SrP’ appears on the right digital display.
2 Once in the sensor replace mode, the right digital display will continue to show
‘SrP’ and the left digital display will show a channel selection: CH1, CH2, CH3, or
CH4.
If the channel that is first displayed corresponds to the senor to be replaced,
momentarily activate the SELECT/RESET reed switch to select that channel. If
the first channel displayed is not the required channel, activate the MENU reed
switch; the left digital display will sequentially display the operational channels
each time the MENU/SET reed switch is activated. Activate the SELECT/RESET
reed switch, once the required channel is displayed.
3 Once the required channel has been selected, the display reads '00' and the
Channel LED and Fault LED are illuminated. The controller is in the Sensor
Replacement Mode.
Once in the Sensor Replacement Mode follow the instructions in the sensor manual for
replacement.
NOTE
If power was removed from the controller during the sensor replacement procedure, the
controller will automatically return to the Normal Mode when power is restored (after a 45
or 90 second time delay). To prevent the possibility of alarms, allow the system to warm
up in the Sensor Replacement Mode.
An adequate supply of spare sensors should be kept on hand for field replacement. For maximum
protection against contamination and deterioration, they should not be removed from the original
protective packaging until the time of installation.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
The Uni-Trol Controller is not designed to be repaired by the customer in the field. If a problem™
should develop, first carefully check for proper wiring, programming and calibration. If it is
determined that the problem is caused by an electronic defect, the device must be returned to the
factory for repair.
NOTE
When replacing a controller, remove power before removing the device from the
enclosure or installing the replacement unit.
The sensor is not intended to be repaired. W hen calibration can no longer be properly performed,
the sensor must be replaced. The frequency of replacement will be determined by the amount and
type of contamination present at the particular installation. An adequate supply of spare sensors
should be kept on hand for field replacement. Always calibrate the sensor after it has been
replaced.

Appendix A Electrostatic Sensitive Device HandlingProcedure
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the transfer, between bodies, of an electrostatic charge caused
by direct contact or induced by an electrostatic field. The most common cause of ESD is physical
contact. Touching an object can cause a discharge of electrostatic energy— ESD! If the charge is
sufficient and occurs near electronic components, it can damage or destroy those components.
In some cases, damage is instantaneous and an immediate malfunction occurs. However,
symptoms are not always immediate—performance may be marginal or seemingly normal for an
indefinite period of time, followed by a sudden failure.
To eliminate potential ESD damage, review the following guidelines:
• Handle boards by metal shields—taking care not to touch electronic components
• W ear grounded wrist or foot straps, or ESD shoes or heel grounders to dissipate
unwanted static energy
• Prior to handling boards, dispel any charge in your body or equipment
• Ensure components are transported and stored in static safe packaging
• W hen returning boards, carefully package in the original carton and static protective
wrapping
• Ensure ALL personnel are educated and trained in ESD Control Procedures
In general, exercise accepted and proven precautions normally observed when handling
electrostatic sensitive devices. A warning label is placed on the packaging, identifying product
using electrostatic sensitive semiconductor devices.
