1.1 GENERAL The Model 4501-XX Toxic Gas Sensor Module is a 2-wire transmitter with 4-20 mA output and it offers a broad array of features including: 2-wire loop powered 180 day calibration interval Selectable ranges (if appropriate for gas type) ...
Sierra Monitor electrochemical sensors provide improved reliability by allowing the gas to diffuse into the sensor through a capillary port, rather than diffusing through membranes. The result is an extremely stable sensor with very low temperature and pressure coefficients and the capability to monitor gas as ppm. 1.4 MECHANICAL The sensor module is comprised of the following three primary components: 1.4.1 ENCLOSURE...

2.1 INTRODUCTION Although the 4501-XX Gas Sensor Module is 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.
3.1 OVERVIEW The gas sensor module has been supplied factory calibrated and ready for immediate installation and operation. An installer familiar with installation and operation of gas detection products can use this section to begin immediate use of the module. 3.2 WIRING Provide two conductor twisted shielded wiring from the power supply/control device to the sensor module location.
4.1 SENSOR MODULE LOCATIONS The gas sensor module utilizes a diffusion type sensor which should be located close to either the expected source or destination of the gas hazard. If the gas is heavier than air, the sensor module should be installed within 24 inches of the ground or floor.
4.2 WIRING Wire should be 18 AWG minimum at a maximum distance is 5,000 feet. Install conduit as required by local code or construction specifications. See figure 4-2 for typical 2 terminal and 4 terminal connections. 4.3 ENCLOSURE INSTALLATION To protect the transmitter and sensor assembly they should be removed from the enclosure and preserved until final installation and wiring termination.
4.4 TRANSMITTER AND SENSOR INSTALLATION When all pre-wiring 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.
5.1 INTRODUCTION The 4501-XX Toxic Gas Sensor Module utilizes a visual menu system operated by means of a magnet with the cover in place. A magnet stick is supplied for this purpose. Access the menu system to calibrate the sensor module, and for maintenance and diagnostic procedures. The following adjustments can be made to the sensor module: ...

5.4 SETUP SUB-MENU The sensor module set-points menu is used to initially set-up the range and 4-20 mA calibration. Range: Once the Set-up menu is selected, press key [▼] twice and press [E] to activate the Range Set- up menu. Use the [▲] or [▼] keys to select Range menu and press [E]. When “Range” is selected menu provides any choices of ranges available for the gas type selected.

5.5 MAINTENANCE SUB-MENU The maintenance menu enables the operator to view sensor and software versions. Sierra Monitor technical support has access to other values as needed. The maintenance menu operation is described in Table 5-4. Function Display Mode Default Display(example 4501-05) XXX PPM ...
6.1 CALIBRATION FREQUENCY The sensor module must be calibrated every 180 days at a minimum. 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. 6.2 CALIBRATION PREPARATION Calibration of the sensor is accomplished by simple menu based steps and application of span gas.
6.5 CALIBRATION SUB-MENU Function Display XXXPPM Default Display Mode Mode Function - Calibrate CALIB:-- Enter Banner: Apply zero gas, enter <E> when done Cal Zero Operation: Confirm area clear of gas, or apply zero air to sensor.
SENSOR MODULE CONFIGURATION The gas sensor module is comprised of the following sub-assemblies (Figure 7-1): 4501-XX SPL27077 SPM27071 XXXXXXX XXXXXXX There are no field serviceable components below the sub assembly level. Area must be determined to be non-hazardous before opening enclosure. ENCLOSURE REPLACEMENT 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.
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.
7.5.4 MOISTURE TRAPS AND RAINSHIELDS Conduit seals and drains installed to avoid moisture build up in electronics enclosure. Water accumulation in sensor module enclosures is a major cause of damage and system failures - take precautions to seal electrical conduits and provide moisture traps and drains to avoid water damage. ...
