Freedom 5000 Universal Analog Toxic Gas Detector Instruction Manual Environmental Influences to the Scott Safety Sensor Although the Freedom™ 5000 transmitter is designed to operate at temperatures from -40° to 140°F (-40° to 60° C), the operating temperature is dictated by which gas sensor has been installed. The GasPlus Sensor Operating Parameters Addenda (see back of manual) show the operating temperature ranges for each sensor type.
Page 19
Freedom 5000 Universal Analog Toxic Gas Detector Instruction Manual Sensor Oxygen Requirements Scott Safety “traditional” (not Rock Solid) gas sensors require a minimum of 5% oxygen for continuous operation under ambient conditions (except the Model 80 Oxygen sensor). Sensors operating in conditions of less than 5% oxygen will provide erroneous or unstable concentration data.
Freedom 5000 Universal Analog Toxic Gas Detector Instruction Manual Series 5000 Transmitter General The General Purpose loop powered universal transmitter measures the sensor output current, conditions it, and converts it to a 4 – 20 mA current output. The Freedom™ 5000 requires a minimum of 3mA to operate and thus this is the lowest output the transmitter can output.

Freedom 5000 Universal Analog Toxic Gas Detector Instruction Manual Figure 5 Dimensional Drawing (with optional wall mount bracket) Freedom™ 5000 Installation Location Considerations Prior to installing the Series 5000 system, consideration should be given to the following items when choosing its location.
Freedom 5000 Universal Analog Toxic Gas Detector Instruction Manual 5. Vibration - Mount the transmitter and sensor in a manner that minimizes vibration. 6. Accessibility - When determining mounting location, consider future maintenance and calibration requirements. 7. Avoid water - Droplets adhering to the outer membrane of the sensor will reduce or negate sensor performance.
Freedom 5000 Universal Analog Toxic Gas Detector Instruction Manual Figure 6 L Mounting Bracket Installation is as follows: STEP 1 - Make all physical connections (i.e., conduits, pipes, enclosure, plastic spacer block, junction box, etc.) STEP 2 - Loosen transmitter screws and pull down front panel lid.
Freedom 5000 Universal Analog Toxic Gas Detector Instruction Manual provide the force. This prevents the possibility of pulling the screw sockets out of the housing. STEP 5 – Install the sensor into the sensor housing. Make sure the elastomeric pad is between the sensor and the sensor housing concentric rings.

Freedom 5000 Universal Analog Toxic Gas Detector Instruction Manual Remote Sensor Mounting Many applications require that the sensor be mounted remote from the transmitter, e.g., duct mount application. In these applications, it is important that the sensor be separated from the transmitter no more than 50’. Scott Safety provides three different remote mount installations.
Freedom 5000 Universal Analog Toxic Gas Detector Instruction Manual 1/4 Turn Twist and Lock Accessories Designed for quick, easy installation and removal from your GasPlus sensor, Twist-and- Lock accessories connect directly to the standard end cap and help make your gas detection system easier to use.
Freedom 5000 Universal Analog Toxic Gas Detector Instruction Manual Start – Up Front Panel Operations and Indications Initial System Start - Up Once all transmitters (sensor, rain shield, etc.) have been assembled and installation ™ has been completed, the DC supply to the Freedom 5000 Transmitter may be energized.
Freedom 5000 Universal Analog Toxic Gas Detector Instruction Manual At this time the loop output automatically goes to 4 mA. 3. Hold the magnet over either the “Up” or “Down” magnetic switch and adjust to the desired level. 4. Hold the magnet momentarily over the “S”- Enter switch.

Freedom 5000 Universal Analog Toxic Gas Detector Instruction Manual Remote Sensor Calibration ™ The Freedom 5000 is designed so the sensor may be removed from the transmitter and calibrated at a remote location. Fixed gas detection installations using this feature should utilize a documented calibration log (see “Calibration Frequency”) to determine...
Freedom 5000 Universal Analog Toxic Gas Detector Instruction Manual Zero Calibration The transmitter’s zero is set by adjusting the loop output to 4 mA while the sensor is exposed to air which is free of the gas being detected (and any interferent gases which may be present).
Page 35
Freedom 5000 Universal Analog Toxic Gas Detector Instruction Manual Step 3 – If spanning the instrument, proceed to “Span Calibration STEP 2”. Observe the LCD indicates the “IHB” function is deactivated (the transmitter will automatically deactivate inhibit mode after 9 minutes).
Page 36
Freedom 5000 Universal Analog Toxic Gas Detector Instruction Manual The transmitter should begin to respond to the calibration gas within 30 seconds. The indicated gas concentration should slowly level off to a value (usually close to that of the span gas concentration) and remain stable. Once this value has reached equilibrium it is time to span the transmitter/sensor.

Freedom 5000 Universal Analog Toxic Gas Detector Instruction Manual has to do with some internal makeup of the sensor, which can deteriorate over time. Although not normally expected, it is possible. It is mandatory that any HF or Rock Solid Acid Gas sensor calibrated with chlorine also be bumped tested with a acid gas.
Page 38
Freedom 5000 Universal Analog Toxic Gas Detector Instruction Manual A Fail indication is usually a result of either a removed or poor sensor-to-housing electrical connection or sensor failure discovered by the self-diagnostic routine. The self- diagnostic routine interrogates transmitter and sensor memory transfer integrity and is continuously performed by the Series 5000 transmitter.
Freedom 5000 Universal Analog Toxic Gas Detector Instruction Manual oFF: Turns off SST function. This also clears the self test fault. On and or 01d: Immediately turns on the SST function and it will continue to activate every 24 hours from that point.
Freedom 5000 Universal Analog Toxic Gas Detector Instruction Manual b. The inhibit (Ihb) and Sensor Self Test (SST) indicator flags appear in the display. 3. After successfully measuring a concentration of 10%FS or more, the instrument turns off the gas generator and enters a recovery period while maintaining the inhibit state.
Freedom 5000 Universal Analog Toxic Gas Detector Instruction Manual System Maintenance General For maximum safety, perform a sensor response test weekly; see “Making Operational Check Gases” in this section. The only other maintenance requirements are that the unit be zeroed and calibrated at regular intervals.
Page 42
Freedom 5000 Universal Analog Toxic Gas Detector Instruction Manual The following methods can be used during operational response checks of the transmitter: For GasPlus sensors detecting: Cl , ClO , Br Place a teaspoon of powdered calcium hypo chlorite in a small plastic bottle and cap tightly.
Freedom 5000 Universal Analog Toxic Gas Detector Instruction Manual Troubleshooting The elastomeric pad is often the source of problem transmitters and can be easily checked by substituting a new pad. General Should a problem in the operation of a Freedom™ 5000 occur, the first step is to isolate the problem to the component which has failed.

Freedom 5000 Universal Analog Toxic Gas Detector Instruction Manual STEP 6 – Set the voltage calibrator to input 0.550 mV. Using the magnetic tip of the screwdriver, touch the magnet to the “S” span point on the transmitter body and hold it there. After four seconds the bar graph will disappear and the reading will begin to flash.
