Section 1 - Overview INTRODUCTION The B14 is an on-line monitoring system for the detection of hazardous gases in ambient air. It is designed to detect and alarm gas leaks from storage cylinders, process piping, or gas feed equipment in virtually any type of industrial plant environment.
B14 Alarm System Section 1 - Overview B12 Sensor/Transmitter Consists of an electrochemical gas sensor closely coupled to a NEMA 4X transmitter. This component measures gas concentration and converts the measurement to 4-20 mA current for transmission to a receiver module. It must be mounted in the area where gas leakage or buildup is expected, and can either be wall mounted or supported by electrical conduit carrying interconnecting wiring.
If AC power is lost, the battery insures that detection continues uninterrupted. B14 components allow simple assembly of either single or multipoint detection systems. Each point of detection requires one sensor/transmitter and one receiver. The sensor/transmitter is mounted in the hazard area, and the receiver is located anywhere within 1000 feet.
B14 Alarm System Section 2 – Mechanical Installation MECHANICAL INSTALLATION System enclosures, battery back-up units, and sensor transmitters are all designed for surface mounting using screws or bolts inserted through the recessed mounting holes at each corner of the enclosures. Included with each system enclosure is a template with mounting hole dimensions for two and three module system enclosures, battery back-up enclosure, and sensor/transmitter enclosure.

Figure 20 on page 36 shows a detailed terminal wiring drawing for the Power supply module. A B14 gas detection system will always contain a B14 Receiver and either a B12 Sensor/Transmitter, or an A12 UniSens 2-Wire Transmitter. Normally, an A17 Power supply module will also be included, and an A19 Battery Back-up Unit will often be used to provide standby power for the system.

B14 Alarm System Section 3 – Electrical Installation Sensor/transmitters contain a terminal block for receiver connection. Connection of the two wires from the receiver is not polarity sensitive. These wires can be connected without regard to terminal position. Multi-channel systems will duplicate the 2 conductor cable wiring between the Receiver and Sensor/Transmitter.

B14 Alarm System Section 3 – Electrical Installation Analytical Technology, Inc. Figure 14 - Typical System Wiring, A12-17 Combustible Transmitter (ATI-0355) The remainder of this manual is divided into sections that describe each component of the system. Mechanical and electrical installation are the only requirements to provide a workable system. Power supply modules and battery back-up units require no adjustments.
Section 4 – Receiver Module B14 RECEIVER MODULE Series B14 Receivers provide alarm relay and display functions for the gas detection system. Each receiver is connected to one 2 or 3 wire sensor/transmitter, and displays information on the gas concentration in the sensor area. Receivers are powered by a separate 12 VDC power supply (part no.
B14 Alarm System Section 4 – Receiver Module Factory Configuration All receivers are identical except for the gas symbol attached to the green power LED. Operating range, alarm relay configuration, and Fail setpoint are selectable using 6 banks of DIP switches located on the configuration circuit board inside the module.
B14 Alarm System Section 4 – Receiver Module Configuration Switches Figure 19 indicates the location of each bank of DIP switches labeled S1 thru S6 on the configuration P.C. board and Table 2-1 below, provides a description of the function of each switch on each bank.
B14 Alarm System Section 4 – Receiver Module Setpoint Selection The operating range and the Caution, Warning and Alarm setpoints can be changed, if desired, by using the configuration switches identified in Table 2-1 on page 2-5. The Caution setpoint is set using switches B2-B8 labeled (S2), the Warning setpoint is set using switches C2-C8, labeled (S3) and the Alarm setpoint is set using switches D2-D8, labeled (S4).
B14 Alarm System Section 4 – Receiver Module Range Selection Display range selection sets the full scale operating range of the receiver. Table 2-2 on page 2-6, provides the proper switch settings for the ranges available on each receiver. Range selection is made using switches A4-A8, labeled (S1).
Section 4 – Receiver Module External Horn Relay Relays in the B14 receiver provide an additional configuration option for external horn activation. Switches E1-2, E5-6 labeled (S5), and F1-2, labeled (S6), allows relays to be configured for “HORN” mode of operation. When a relay is configured for this mode, it will operate in parallel with the internal horn.
B14 Alarm System Section 5 – Receiver Operation OPERATION Receiver front panels contain four LED bar indicators and a 4 digit LED display. The digital display indicates gas concentration in either PPM, PPB, or percent. The green LED bar is marked with the gas symbol and units of measurement (PPM, PPB, % or % LEL) specified on the customer order.
In each case, a break in the loop wiring will cause a trouble alarm. If another brand of transmitter is connected to a B14 receiver, contact the transmitter manufacturer for information on available trouble signals.
B14 Alarm System Section 5 – Receiver Operation Remote Reset Receivers are provided with input terminals for connection of a remote reset switch. The remote reset input provides horn silence and alarm reset functions using a switch located at a remote point.
