E Point to detect two gases in two separate locations. The E3Point network platform supports different protocols over an RS-485 link, such as Modbus or BacNet MS/TP master. It is well suited for commercial use in certain outdoor environments, and indoor environments, such as parking garages and mechanical rooms.
Installation Installation Locating the Sensor Since the E Point units are shipped with custom network diagrams that indicate best locations for installation, the remaining considerations are installation height and detection obj ectives. If the primary application is the fastest possible leak detection, mount the sensor near the potential leak sources.
Installation W ARNING: Some materials such as, but not limited to, tetraethyl lead, silicones, some sulfur, phosphorus, and chlorinated compounds, may have a poisoning e ect resulting in a loss of sensitivity. W all Mounting Mounting is usually done on concrete walls or columns, but the unit can be mounted on any vertical surface.

Installation Close the unit cover and tighten screws to 29.7 in-lb (3 Nm). Do not remove PC board when removing knockouts. Knockout on back is not for conduit entry. General Mounting Considerations: Must be easily accessible for calibration and maintenance. Mount the sensor close to the potential leak source for fastest possible leak detection.
Installation Duct Mounting Special Duct Mount Installation This option works best for airflows between 500–4000 ft./min. The E Point must be duct mounted using the custom box provided with the duct mount version. All of the components housed within the box are factory assembled.
W iring W iring Guidelines Electrical wiring must comply with all applicable codes. Operating conditions and site equipment that may be involved should be discussed with local operating personnel to determine if any special needs should be considered. Ground the shield at the main control panel. Connect the shield wire in the sensor terminal block labelled shield.

W iring Diagrams 120 VAC Connection The transformer is mounted under the PCB and connections to the power terminal are factory wired. Connect the live and neutral wires, as shown (ensure that power is off before attempting to connect the wires). Replace fuse with same type: 1A 250 VAC, T.
W iring Diagrams Connecting Main Sensor to Remote Figure 6. Connecting Main Sensor to Remote The OUT1 and OUT2 connectors on the remote sensor’ s terminal are not used. DO NOT connect any wires to these locations. W ire: Signal wiring should be done with #20-24 AW G shielded twisted pair cable Belden 9841 or similar.
Installation Test Installation Test Once the unit has been mounted and all wiring connections are complete, a test of the unit’ s functions is recommended. It is necessary to access the unit’ s programming menus to perform the test: Power up the unit and allow 5 minutes for the warm-up procedure to complete (allow 15 minutes for the O sensor).

Operation Operation The E Point gas detection system is factory configured to conform to specific standards. It is designed to be operational after physical installation and warm-up procedures. Start-Up Procedure Before applying power, check all wiring for continuity, shorts, grounds, etc.
Operation Sensor W arm Up W hen the unit is first powered up, sensors must go through a 5 minute warm-up (15 minutes for the O sensor), during which time the unit displays W arm-Up. The 4-20 mA is maintained at 4 mA for all sensors; however, the O sensor is maintained at (approximately) 17.4 mA (equal to 20.9%).
Simulates events for testing purposes without affecting the TestMode sensor readings. Used during installation. Memory Reserved for authorized Honeywell Analytics technicans only. Exits the programming menus and returns the device to Q uit? normal operation mode. Point Standalone Gas Monitor User Manual...
Using the Programming Menus Password Menu Access to the programming menus is password protected (password is HA). The Password screen displays after pressing the enter key. Password Press the arrow key (up or down) to change the first letter to H. Press enter and use the arrow keys to change the second letter to A.
Using the Programming Menus Relay Menu The Relay menu allows users to select Latch, Failsafe, or SetDelay. Press enter to access the Relay menu options, then scroll to select Relay #1 or Relay #2. * Menu * Relay Relay #1 Relay Use the arrow keys to scroll to the desired option and press enter to select one of the four following options:...
Using the Programming Menus Buzzer Menu The Buzzer menu allows users to select whether or not the built-in audible alarm can be silenced by pressing a keypad button and which events will activate the buzzer. * Menu * Buzzer Press enter in the main Buzzer menu screen. The Buzzer screen displays either Activate or Silence.
Using the Programming Menus Alarm Menu CAUTION: Only quali ed, knowledgeable personnel should use the programming functions of this unit. Factory settings conform to speci c standards (see Specifications). Any changes made to Alarm Levels may a ect manufacturer’ s stated standards compliance. The Alarm menu allows users to define different alarm levels than the factory settings.
Using the Programming Menus The Hyst(eresis) screen displays. This value, added to the alarm level, tells the unit at which level to deactivate the alarm (e.g. Alarm level A is 25 ppm, minus a hysteresis level of -05, gives a deactivation level of 20 ppm). Use the arrow keys to increase or decrease the value and press enter.
Using the Programming Menus Temp Menu The Temp menu allows users to define the maximum temperature for the device temperature alarm, which can be used to activate the device connected to the relay. * Menu * Temp Press enter to access the Temp menu, then select either Disable or Enable.
Using the Programming Menus Set Zero Menu Only use the Set Zero function when the unit no longer displays zero. See Periodic Inspection and Maintenance. This option allows users to set the sensor Zero. In the main Set Zero screen, press enter to begin. If there is a remote sensor connected, you must scroll to select Z1 (built-in sensor) or Z2 (remote sensor).

Using the Programming Menus Set Span menu W ARNING: If the calibration gas concentration exceeds alarm setpoints, alarms will be triggered. Either change alarm levels so the alarms are not triggered, or put the entire system in service mode so no external equipment (lights, fans, ventilators, buzzers) will be activated.
Using the Programming Menus Press enter to confirm and the screen displays the concentration during calibration. Set Span 198 ppm A success or failure message displays and the screen returns to the main menu option. TestMode Menu The TestMode menu performs a test of all functions on the unit. All outputs are activated according to their failsafe mode, relay setting, and buzzer setting.

Remote Sensor Installation Sensor Locations The following suggestions should be considered to ensure detection of the target gas. Select the most suitable location for each sensor. Air Currents: If there are fans, wind, or other sources of air movement, gases may rise or collect in certain areas of a facility. The local air currents should be assessed to aid in selecting the sensor location.
