    General Description Installation Locating the Entrance Monitor This manual covers the EM2-24 and EM2-120 entrance monitors. The EM2-120 includes an installed AC- The EM2 can be installed indoors or outdoors and DC power supply that allows for 120Vac input and should be installed for easy viewing and accessibility converts it to 24Vdc power for the EM2.
  • Page 5: Wiring

    Opening the enclosure Wiring Electrical wiring must comply with all applicable codes. The left and right hinges hold the top cover to the base. Wiring Guidelines: • Always use 3-conductor, insulated, stranded, Insert a small (0.12" (3 mm) or smaller) slotted shielded copper cable for all sensor cables.
  • Page 6 Stand-Alone and Feed-Through Sensor Wiring: • 4-20 mA, 261 Ohm input impedance. Applications • Refer to sensor manual for cable recommendations The EM2 terminates the gas sensor’s 4-20 mA signal, (typically 18/3 shielded cable (General Cable and re-transmits the 4-20 mA signal to another analog #C2535A or equivalent)).

    Operation 85300 Power-up Before applying power, make a final check of all wiring for continuity, shorts, grounds, etc. It is usually best to disconnect external alarms and other equipment from the EM2 entrance monitor until the initial start-up procedures are completed. Operator Interface ALARM All operator functions are performed from the pushbuttons on the front of the panel. Below is a list of the common key functions used for the LCD In some fields, the arrow keys can be held in to operations:...

    STATUS Inactivity of the operator interface after 5 minutes will return the LCD to the Home screen. SET DELAY (SEC): RESET DLY (SEC): Alarm condition Once the signal exceeds the alarm setpoint for the Set ALARM DIR: UPSCALE Delay time, ALARM will flash on the screen and the LATCHING: alarm relay will change states. Once the signal falls below the alarm setpoint for the Reset Delay time, the FAILSAFE: ALARM message will clear and the relay will return to...

Loss of power or an alarm condition setpoint. For example, a deadband setpoint of 5 on will cause the relay to change states. Default value is a range of 0-100 ppm would only display 0 ppm until the input reaches 5 ppm.

  • Page 18: Start-Up

    Start-Up Maintenance Start-up Test All gas detection systems should be calibrated with After setup and programming is complete, it is certified calibration gas once every six months. At this recommended to perform a functionality test of the interval, all alarm functions and outputs should be unit. Refer to sensor manual for proper warm-up time tested, verified and documented.
  • Page 19 1) Input and Output Signal Testpoints: These testpoints provide measurements of the in/out 4-20 mA (measured 40-200 mVdc). 2) Wiring Terminal: Make sure wiring is correct and securely fastened into terminals. If the entrance monitor lid is opened and closed often, cable wires can be prone to breakage where they connect at the wire terminals.
