Page 6: Overview Of The Chemdaq Gas Monitoring System
Up to eight Steri-Trac monitors can be connected to a central data acquisition computer (DAQ), and each Steri-Trac monitor can support up to three remote displays. The system has been designed to be fail safe, so that in the unlikely event that one component were to fail, the rest of the system will continue to operate normally.
Page 7: Steri-Trac Remote Display
Steri-Trac Remote Display If a monitor is in alarm indicating a gas leak, no-one should enter that area without adequate protective equipment until the gas leak has been rectified. In order to avoid the situation where a person must enter the hazardous location in order to read the display on the monitor, remote displays can be connected to the monitor and placed outside the room or immediate location.
Page 8: Chemdaq Data Acquisition System (Daq)
DAQ manual for further information. Remote Video Display The image from the PC monitor can be mirrored on an optional ChemDAQ supplied remote video display. This is beneficial for the employees working in areas such as Sterile Processing Wrap and Pack because they can see the exact same thing as the SPD manager where they are working.

Page 10: Display And Horn
 Horn – The Steri-Trac includes an 85 dB horn that produces a loud cycling horn to notify users that the gas concentration is above the first alarm threshold.
Page 11: Installation
Please refer to the Steri-Trac Installation Guide for a complete, step-by-step site-preparation instructions. Customer Site Preparation Responsibilities Environment The Steri-Trac monitor should be wall mounted in an environment that is between -20 to + 50 C, free from excessive vibration and away from condensing humidity. Power Supply Requirements 100 - 240 V, 0.75A, 50/60 Hz mains power must be supplied to the location where the wall box is to be...
Page 12: Relays
Connection to these relays is made via the terminal block in the Monitor Wall Box, as shown in Figure 1 above. Remote Display The remote display is wall mounted via the key holes in the back. See the Steri-Trac Installation Guide mounting instructions.
Page 13 The Steri-Trac monitor’s internal power supply can support up to three remote displays connected in a star or daisy-chain configuration. Power and data is transmitted from the monitor to the remote display through a single power/signal cable available from ChemDAQ. See Figure 2 for the wiring diagram.
Page 14: Daq
The DAQ requires external power (110/220 V, 60/50 Hz). Remote Mounted Sensor The Steri-Trac monitor is a small compact instrument, but for some applications an even smaller sensor device is required very near the source of the potential hazardous gas exposure. In these applications, the sensor can be remotely mounted and the monitor body can then by mounted nearby at a more convenient location.
Page 15: Chemdaq's Installation Responsibilities
Final installation of the monitors, remote display, and DAQ, initial configuration and verification of system operation will generally be performed by ChemDAQ authorized personnel in order to ensure that the gas monitoring system is installed and functioning correctly and operating to the customer’s satisfaction.
Page 16: Latch
The display will continue to show the real time gas reading whether the horn is acknowledged or not. Latch Enables configuration of the low level alarm and the High Level Alarm to latching or non-latching status. Latching means that once the alarm level is reached, the system will remain in alarm status even if the gas concentration subsequently drops below the alarm level.
Page 17 Note: Once you enter the configuration menu, if the monitor detects no button presses for five seconds, it will exit the menu and return to the main display. 1.
