  • Page 5: Installation

    Series C12-17 transmitters require connection to a DC power supply and connection of the 4-20 mA output to a receiving device such as a computer, recorder, or data logger. A 3-conductor cable may be used for this purpose and is made at the terminals marked TB1 on Figure 3.
  • Page 6: Sensor Location

    C12-17 Combustible Gas Transmitter SENSOR LOCATION Combustible gas sensors are used to detect a variety of gases or vapors. The proper sensor location will depend on what type of gas is expected. For gases that are lighter than air, such as methane, sensors should be located near the ceiling.
  • Page 7: Electrical Connections - Transmitter

    C12-17 Combustible Gas Transmitter ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS - TRANSMITTER External connections to the C12-17 transmitter can be made using 3 conductor cable. A 3- conductor cable uses a single conductor for the common of both the power supply and the output signal.
  • Page 8: Electrical Connections - Sensor

    C12-17 Combustible Gas Transmitter ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS - SENSOR Standard transmitters supplied with the sensor close coupled to the transmitter enclosure are factory wired as shown below. However, sensors can be supplied with up to 25 feet of cable for remote mounting.
  • Page 9: Dual Condulet System

    C12-17 Combustible Gas Transmitter DUAL CONDULET SYSTEM For some indoor applications, it is more convenient to mount the sensor toward the ceiling of the room while keeping the transmitter electronics down at a convenient elevation for making calibration adjustments. ATI's dual condulet system is designed for this purpose, and the interconnecting wiring is shown below.
  • Page 10: Operation

    C12-17 Combustible Gas Transmitter OPERATION Once installation is complete, the C12-17 combustible gas transmitter is ready for operation. After verifying that electrical connections have been made properly, put the transmitter into operation by simply applying DC power. As soon as power is applied, the unit will begin to stabilize. Once stabilized, alarm system inhibit can be turned off, and the system will be in normal operation.
  • Page 11: Transmitter Zero

    C12-17 Combustible Gas Transmitter LEL Transmitter Figure 7 - Sensor/Transmitter Connectors, Controls and Test Points (ATI-0143) TRANSMITTER ZERO The transmitter zero is adjusted with the sensor exposed to air that contains no combustible gas. Generally, the easiest method of zeroing the transmitter is to make the adjustment when you know that the area is free of combustibles.
  • Page 12: Transmitter Span

    TRANSMITTER FAULT INDICATION The C12-17 combustible gas transmitter is designed to detect certain fault conditions in the sensor and transmitter and to indicate the fault conditions by driving the 4-20 mA output to below 2 mA.
  • Page 13: Calibration For Other Combustible Gases

    C12-17 Combustible Gas Transmitter CALIBRATION FOR OTHER COMBUSTIBLE GASES As previously mentioned, a combustible gas sensor has a slightly different response to each combustible gas or vapor. In addition, the LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) represents different percent concentrations for different gases. For instance, the LEL for methane is 5% by volume while the LEL for butane is 1.9% by volume.
  • Page 14: Sensor Response Test

    C12-17 Combustible Gas Transmitter SENSOR RESPONSE TEST While zero and span adjustments are required only periodically, gas sensors should be checked regularly for proper response. The response check can be done quickly by simply aiming the outlet tube from the span gas cylinder at the face of the sensor and turning on the gas flow for 10-20 seconds. The sensor should begin to respond within 5 seconds.
  • Page 15: Display & Relay Option

    In normal operation, this version of the C12-17 will continuously display %LEL on the integral liquid crystal display. This display can be used for zeroing and calibration of the transmitter, eliminating the need for a separate DVM as described in the calibration section of this manual.

  • Page 17: Alarm Adjustment

    C12-17 Combustible Gas Transmitter ALARM ADJUSTMENT Units supplied with the optional display contain a single alarm setpoint and relay which may be used for local alarm functions. The SPDT internal relay is ideal for simple applications where only a local lamp or horn is needed when elevated gas levels are detected.
