Sentry 5000-32-IT Controller SAFTEY NOTES Introduction Although the Controller is designed and constructed for installation and operation in industrial applications including "hostile" environments, caution should be taken to ensure that the installation is made in compliance with this instruction manual and that certain procedures and conditions are avoided. This chapter discusses the necessary cautions.
Sentry 5000-32-IT Controller Sensor Modules – General Avoid installing sensor modules where they will be unnecessarily exposed to wind, dust, water (esp. direct hose down), shock, or vibration. Observe temperature range limitations. Sensors may be adversely affected by prolonged exposure to certain materials. Loss of sensitivity, or corrosion, may be gradual if such materials are present in low concentrations.
Sentry 5000-32-IT Controller INSTALLATION Site Planning Prior to installation of the controller a site plan should be prepared to indicate the location of all system components including the controller, sensor modules and annunciators. The site plan must also provide cable, conduit or wire tray locations and routing. The scope of this manual covers installation and wiring of the controller.
Sentry 5000-32-IT Controller Figure 14 provides the external dimensions of the controller. Figure 14: Sentry IT Controller External & Mounting Dimensions Wiring 4.4.1 Stack Connections Figure 15 Figure 21 through provide generic wiring guides for each stack type. Project specific wiring drawings are generally supplied in the project submittals or data pack.
Sentry 5000-32-IT Controller 4.4.2 Power Connections Figure 22 Figure 23 provide the locations of the terminals for connecting primary power to the controller. • Controllers that have an AC to DC power supply installed on the upper wall of the enclosure require external AC power supply.
Sentry 5000-32-IT Controller COMMISSIONING Overview Controllers purchased from Sierra Monitor as part of a fully engineered system are factory configured and tested prior to shipment. In this case Sensor discovery and Module Configuration may not be necessary. It is recommended to inspect and power up the system and move directly to the functional test phase.
Sentry 5000-32-IT Controller Configure Modules The process to configure the discovered modules is dependent upon the method of communication between the controller and the modules. If the controller was set up in the factory discovered modules will default to factory configured parameters.
