Alarm Detail Screen The ALARM DETAIL SCREEN allows access to three buttons on the bottom of the screen: QUIT ñ Returns you to the ALARM SUMMARY SCREEN ACK ñ Acknowledges the alarm SETUP ñ Returns you to the ZONE SETUP SCREEN (From the ZONE SETUP SCREEN you can access the TREND SCREEN for that zone.) To acknowledge the alarm press the button below ACK. You will be returned to the ALARM SUMMARY SCREEN and the box associated with that alarm will no longer be blinking, indicating that the alarm has been acknowledged. Repeat this procedure for each active alarm. When all alarms are acknowledged the red alarm light will go out on the HGM300 and the alarm relays will de-activate. All pending alarms across the entire network must be acknowledged before the RDM800 returns to normal operation. Once this occurs, the RDM800 red alarm light will go out and its relays will de-activate. NOTE ñ If there is still sufficient refrigerant gas present the system will go back into alarm! LOG INTERVAL AND TREND SCREEN The HGM300 retains a data log of 100 measurements per zone, starting on the left and moving to the right. The log interval is the number of minutes from 0 to 1440 (1440 minutes is once every 24 hours) between each log point. This parameter can be changed from the ZONE SETUP SCREEN for each zone. (When 0 minutes are set the trend is recorded every time the zone is sampled.) Zone Setup Screen #1 The LOG INTERVAL setting is a useful tool to determine what is occurring in a mechanical room over time. Rev. 10/22/01 ...
Trend Screen From the ZONE SCREEN press the button adjacent to the zone that you wish to work with to go to the ZONE SETUP SCREEN, press the button below TREND to get to the TREND screen for that zone. The trend graph opens to the most current data point. Use the left/right keypad keys to move the cursor across the screen. As you move across the screen the date and time of the reading and the PPM level will be displayed. Use the ZOOM IN and ZOOM OUT buttons to adjust the vertical scale. Trend data is first in, first out basis. After 100 trend values have been stored the 101 value will replace the first stored value. 1) - Working with the fault screens WORKING WITH THE FAULT SCREENS A. From the ì SYSTEMî screen press the button adjacent to ì FAULTî . This takes you to the FAULT SCREEN. The information displayed on this screen is broken onto two categories ñ CRITICAL FAULTS and NON CRITICAL FAULTS. Rev. 10/22/01 HGM300/RDM800 mini manual.doc...
FAULT SCREEN CRITICAL FAULTS 1) NO FLOW ON ZONE ñ Go to SYSTEM SCREEN, the to ZONES. The zone screen will display a ì NO FLOWî message in each individual zone affected. Check for a blockage in the air sample line or at the line end filter. Once the blockage has been cleared, the HGM300 will return to normal operation after the zone has been sampled. Note - This can take some several minutes since it is dependent upon how many zones there are and their lengths. The HGM300 will clear the fault the next time it polls the effected zone and the RDM800 will return to normal operation the next time that it polls the HGM300. 2) NO FLOW ON PURGE ñ Check the purge line for a blockage. Verify that the length of the purge line and exhaust line do not exceed 100 feet in length. 3) NO FLOW DETECTED ñ Check for proper pump operation. Check the water trap ñ drain if necessary. 4) CLIPPING FAULT ñ The detector voltage may be out of tolerance. Check the DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN for the DET voltage, AVE voltage and ZERO voltage. Call the factory with this information at 1-800-888-6400 Ext. 5182, 5169 or 5403 for farther instructions. 5) REZERO VOLT TOL ñ The detector output voltage is out of tolerance. Check the DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN as in item 4 and contact the factory for assistance. 6) TRIGGER FAULT ñ No trigger from IR source pulser. Contact factory with all information from the DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN for farther instructions. DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN To get to the DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN ñ From the SYSTEM SCREEN press the button adjacent to the HGM300 that you wish to view, this takes you to the HGM SETUP SCREEN, from there press the button adjacent DIAG. NON CRITICAL FAULTS ...
Check the installation to verify that the monitor is not being subjected to extreme temperatures. Check the DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN for the ZERO temperature, BNCH temperature and BOX temperature. Call the factory with this information at 1-800-888-6400 Ext. 5182, 5169 or 5403 for farther instructions. 3) PRESSURE SENSOR ñ Manifold pressure is outside normal operating range (or sensor has failed). Check the DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN record ALL data and call the factory with this information at 1-800-888-6400 Ext. 5182, 5169 or 5403 for farther instructions. 4) LOOP FAULT ñ This would only be displayed if the dual 4-20mAdc option was installed and one or both current loops are open. Check the wiring to load/monitoring circuit on both 4-20mA loops. 5) CONFIG FAULT ñ There is an error in the ZONE SETUP SCREEN, Number of zones field. Check to verify that the actual number of zones installed in the monitor is equal to the number indicated in the Zone Setup Screen. Check to insure that the manifold solenoid cable connector is securely fastened to its terminal connector. Check for illegal parameter. Reset to factory default settings. Reset to factory default settings - Hold down the left most button inside the HGM300 ñ cycle the power off then on while holding that button down ñ listen for five beeps then release the button.

Working with the diagnostic screen Overview The Diagnostic Screen displays reference values for use by repair technicians. From the top level Zone Screen press the SYSTEM key to go to the System Screen. Press the Diagnostic key to view the reference values. Diagnostic Screen Overview The diagnostic screen contains sensor data and status information useful for trouble shooting various fault conditions. An explanation of each line is given below along with normal operating ranges. LINE 1: Detector Voltage ñ This is the peak to peak output of the IR sensor, in the absence of refrigerant this value can range from 3.900V to 4.500V. LINE 2: Average Detector Voltage ñ This is simply a running average of the values displayed in line 1. LINE 3: Zero Voltage ñ This is the IR sensor output that was stored during the last purge cycle and has the same range as line 1. LINE 4: Noise ñ This is a 16 point running average of the noise portion of IR bench output. This reading is valuable mainly when refrigerant is NOT present. LINE 5: Average Absorbency ñ This is the optical absorbency computed from the values in lines 2 and 3. In the absence of refrigerant the absorbency is approximately 0.000AU. When sampling refrigerants, itsí value varies proportionally with the refrigerant concentration. LINE 6: uMoles/L ñ This is the absolute concentration in micromoles per liter of refrigerant base on line 4 and the internal calibration. There are 2 figures given. The first (which is annotated by a B) is the actual measurement at the IR bench. The second is the calculated value corrected to ambient conditions (temperature + pressure). LINE 7: PPM ñ Parts Per Million is the volume concentration referenced to standard temperature and pressure and is computed from lines 5, 8 and 12. There are 2 figures given. The first (annotated by a B) is the actual PPM at the IR branch. The second is a PPM reading normalized to standard temperature and pressure. LINE 8: Zero Temperature ñ This line contains the sensor and enclosure temperature measured and stored during the last purge cycle in degrees C. LINE 9: Bench Temperature ñ This is the current IR sensor temperature in degrees C as well as the raw voltage coming from the temperature sensor itself. This value can range from ambient to ambient +15 degrees C. Rev. 10/22/01 HGM300/RDM800 mini manual.doc...
