2-Wire Toxic Smarter Transmitter Description: The model TA-2102 smarter Transmitter provides remote detection of a specific toxic gas using Mil-Ram’s patented no false alarms electrochemical sensor technology. transmitter is two-wire loop powered and transmits a standard 4-20mA signal. The smarter transmitter operates on 10-30 VDC.
III. Installation: The sensor is provided with ¾’ NPT external threads opposite the sensing end of the device. The sensor screws into an explosion-proof junction box which houses the smarter electronics. The sensor/smarter electronics/junction box assembly constitutes the transmitter. Install transmitter as follows: 1.

2. Remove LCD display/main circuit board assembly by pulling up on face plate at two locations marked PULL (banana jacks secure the assembly in the junction box). Carefully lift assembly from junction box. 3. Carefully guide brown sensor cable connector through opening in bottom of junction box.
Run two wires from the controller 4-20mA Input and signal common to the power/signal terminals located on the bottom of the main circuit board. The power/signal terminals are non-polarized. NOTE: The two power/signal wires must be isolated from other wires and should therefore be shielded or run in metal conduit to avoid electrical pick-up.
The switches are designated as follows: ENTER: A magnetic switch used to enter the main Information Routine to view Peak Value, Remaining Sensor Life, 15-Min. TWA (Time Weighted Average) and Ambient Temperature (degrees C). ENTER switch is also used to escape Loop Test in progress. A magnetic switch used to enter Zero Calibration mode and increment span calibration gas concentration.

Note: While Peak Value is displayed, the value can be reset by momentarily holding magnet directly over RESET switch. A successful reset provides the following message on the LCD display Following Peak Value the LCD will automatically proceed to Remaining Sensor Life Page 7 22May2002...
Page 10
Next, the LCD will proceed to 15-Min. TWA (Time Weighted Average) Next, the LCD will proceed to Ambient Temperature After approximately 5 sec. LCD display will return to normal operating mode to provide gas readings Page 8 22May2002...
Loop Test The smarter transmitter provides a built-in loop test whereby the transmitter outputs 4/8/12/16/20 mA on demand. The generated output signal can be used to verify readings/alarms at the Controller electronics and loop integrity. To enter loop test, hold magnet directly over RESET switch until LCD display shows Page 9 22May2002...
Page 12
To escape loop test without generating any output, hold magnet directly over DOWN switch until LCD display returns to normal operating mode To proceed with loop test, hold magnet directly over UP switch until LCD display shows To increment Signal Output, hold magnet directly over UP switch until LCD Increments Output Value.
To decrement Signal Output, hold magnet directly over DOWN switch until LCD display decrements Output Value. When Output reaches 4 mA the next decrement will roll-over to 20 mA. To exit LOOP TEST, hold magnet directly over ENTER switch to return to normal operating mode.
below alarm set point, relay automatically resets to original state. Latching: when alarm set point is reached and exceeded, relay is activated (i.e. open contacts close and closed contacts open). When gas concentration falls below alarm set point, relay does not reset to original state. The relay must be manually reset using a switch.
Position lower portion of housing (cylinder) around sensor. Push upper edge of cylinder over upper housing. Tighten four set screws to secure cylinder. VIII. SENSOR CALIBRATION: NOTE: A routine program of calibration should be employed to ensure proper operation/performance of the sensor and system. Although the sensors are normally quite stable, it is generally recommended that calibration be performed monthly in the interest of safety.
Zero Calibration: In clean gas-free air, momentarily hold magnet over ZERO CAL switch until LCD display shows When zero calibration is complete, the transmitter will return to normal operation to provide meter readings. Note: If ambient air is not known to be gas-free, apply zero air (cylinder) using calibration Page 14 22May2002...
Span Calibration: Momentarily hold magnet over SPAN CAL switch until LCD display shows Note: To exit span calibration mode without performing calibration, momentarily hold Magnet directly overt RESET switch. Momentarily hold magnet directly over UP or Down switch to increment or decrement calibration gas concentration.
Apply span calibration gas of exact concentration shown on LCD display using calibration cup. When span calibration is complete, the transmitter will return to normal operation to provide meter readings. Note: during span calibration and for a period of 5 minutes after calibration, the smarter transmitter outputs 4.0mA to prevent activation of alarms at the controller electronics.
Off-Site Sensor Calibration: The smarter transmitter Toxic gas sensors include an EEprom encapsulated inside the sensor housing. The EEprom retains all set-up parameters (alarm set points, relay operation/function, etc.) and sensor calibration factors. Therefore, the sensors can be calibrated in the instrument shop (i.e. off-site) with Mil-Ram Remote Calibration Electronics (contact factory) and the sensors re-installed in the field without further calibration.
