Chapter 1 | Overview Purpose The OLCT 10N is a digital detector designed to detect a particular gas, depending on the type of sensor used. This range of digital detectors is compatible only with the Oldham MX 43 or MX32v2 controller.
Do not cover the detector Do not paint the detector Avoid dust The OLCT 10N may be used only with the OLDHAM MX 43 or MX 32v2 measurement and alarm controller. versions are not certified to use in ATEX area...
MX 32v2 controller. RS485 transmission The OLCT 10N has 2 cable glands that are used for the input cable and the output cable to the next module. The detectors must be connected using MPI-22A cable type, minimum core size is 0.22 mm²...

modules in the line and then to the corresponding line connector of the MX 43 or MX 32v2 controller. The cable shielding must be connected to a ground terminal. The 120 end-of-line resistor must be placed at the end of the line. This simply involves switch #8 being moved to the ON position on the last module (cf.

Remarks: ■ During module replacement, all the configuration switches of a new module must be positioned in the same configuration as those of the previous module. ■ Switch #6 (FRAME FILLING) must be set to OFF (unused option). ■ Switch #7 (DELAY) must be set to ON. End of line resistance For the last detector, set switch #8 (EOL RESISTOR) to ON.
Scope of use The OLCT 10N may be used only with the OLDHAM MX 43 or MX 32v2 measurement and alarm controller. The sensors have certain limitations; it is essential to fully recognize these limitations. Presence of specific components Vapor from components containing silicone or sulfur can affect the catalytic sensors and thereby distort measurements.
ATEX marking shall be observed (see Chapter 8). When first powered up or after a sensor replacement, wait for 1 hour before performing a calibration. It is impossible to calibrate an OLCT 10N within 10 minutes after a power cycle. Maintenance Frequency Gas detectors are safety devices.
1000 ppm NH Semi-automatic calibration While the OLCT 10N is calibrating, the MX 43 or the MX 32v2 inhibits alarms triggered by the detector and displays a maintenance code. Up to 32 sensors can be calibrated at the same time.

In order to comply with the ATEX rules, the sensor of LEL detectors is soldered to the card and cannot be changed separately. The entire OLCT 10N detector will need to be replaced. As the detector is factory calibrated, there is no point attempting manual calibration.
Ensure that the sensor is in clean air (in absence of O2 in the case of OLCT 10N O2). If not, inject zero air (Nitrogen in the case of an OLCT 10N O2) into the sensor at a flow rate of 1 l/min, then wait for voltmeter signal to stabilize (use the calibration gas kit: zero air cylinder, calibration cap, tube).

Directive 94/9/EC General comments OLCT 10N detectors comply with the requirements of European ATEX Directive 94/9/EC on Gas and Dust explosive atmospheres. OLCT 10N transmitter detectors are used to measure certain explosive or toxic gases or oxygen. They can be installed in ATEX zones 2 or 22 (except for CO versions which should be installed in safe area only).
Marking for toxic gas or oxygen detector versions (except CO versions) The marking will be as follows: OLDHAM Arras OLCT 10N TOX II 3 GD Ex nA IIC T4 Gc Ex tc IIIC T135°C Dc IP 65 Amb. Temp.: -20°C to +55°C INERIS 11ATEX3023X IECEx INE 11.0029X...
