IMPORTANT For best fault isolation performance, the maximum LON wiring length should not exceed 1600 feet (500 meters).
  • Page 53 CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION Configuration of the EQP LS2000 is accomplished using Det-Tronics Safety System Software (S that is running on the EQP Operator Interface Station (OIS). The LS2000 should be configured as a Line-Of-Sight Gas Detector (LS2000). 95-8714...
  • Page 54 Supported gas types for the LS2000 include Methane (Default), Propane, and Butane. The range for LS2000 high and low alarms is 0.5–3.0 LFL-m. The beam block delay time can be set from 60–3600 seconds. Alarms can be set for latching or non-latching operation. The real time clock in the LS2000 receiver is automatically set by the LON network approximately once per hour.
  • Page 55 ONBOARD HART INTERFACE The on-board HART interface is functional on the EQP LS2000, however, it should not be used to select the gas type, alarm levels, or the beam block delay time because the LON will overwrite these values. All EQP device configuration should be performed using the S program.
