OLCT 700/710 TP 1. Introduction 1.1 Description Oldham OLCT 700 TP hydrogen sulfide gas transmitters are non-intrusive “Smart” detectors designed to detect and monitor S in air. Ranges of detection are 0-20ppm, 0-50ppm, 0- 100ppm, and 0-200ppm. The detector features an LED display of current reading, fault and calibration status.

OLCT 700/710 TP 2. Installation 2.1 ATEX Operational Guidelines for Safe Use OLCT 700/710 conforms to the requirements of European Directive ATEX 94/9/CE relating to explosive Gas atmospheres. The information given in the following sections should be respected and taken into account by the manager of the site where the equipment is installed.
OLCT 700/710 TP 2.2 Functional Safety (SIL 2) Refer to safety user manual NP700TPSMEN 2.3 Detector Placement Selection of detector location is critical to the overall safe performance of the product. Six factors play an important role in selection of detector locations: (1) Density of the gas to be detected (2) Most probable leak sources within the industrial process (3) Ventilation or prevailing wind conditions...
Isopropanol Ethanol NOTE: The Oldham MOS Sensor can be damaged to the point of non-functioning if the unit is left off power and in the presence normal air levels of moisture for periods exceeding 8 hours. NOTE: Always protect the sensor with the Oldham Sealing Cap and a fresh desiccant packet when the detector is powered off, this will avoid permanent sensor damage and help preserve the span calibration.
Figure 6: Outline and Mounting Dimensions When mounting on a pole, secure the Junction Box to a suitable mounting plate and attach the mounting plate to the pole using U-Bolts (Pole-Mounting brackets for Oldham J-box accessories are available separately). Page 8 of 45 Rev.
Figure 7: Typical Installation NOTE: The Oldham Warranty does not cover water damage resulting from water leaking into the enclosure. However, since the electronics are 100% epoxy encapsulated, only the wire terminations could get wet. Moisture could cause abnormal operation and possibly corrosion to the terminal connections, but permanent damage to the detector would not be expected.
Modbus™ RS-485 A (+), and B (-). Maximum wire length between detector and 24VDC source is shown in the Table below. Maximum wire size for termination in the Oldham J-Box accessory is 14 gauge. Max loop load resistance between green and black wire (analog signal output) is 500 ohms. Minimum loop load resistance between green and black wire is 100 ohms.

Remove test gas and observe that the display decreases to “0”. Initial operational tests are complete. Oldham H2S gas detectors are factory calibrated prior to shipment, and should not require significant adjustment on start up. However, it is recommended that a complete calibration test and adjustment be performed 16 to 24 hours after power-up.
The momentary contact is generally used to move between menu items and to modify set-point values. Arrows (◄ and ►) are used on the LED display to indicate when the magnetic switches are activated. LED Display detcon inc. OLDHAM OLCT MODEL TP-700 Program Switch #1...
OLCT 700/710 TP 3.2 Operator Interface The operating interface is menu-driven via the two magnetic (PGM1 and PGM2) program switches located under the target marks of the detector housing. The menu list consists of three major items that include sub-menus as indicated below (refer to the complete Software Flow Chart in Figure 11).

200 to 500cc/min. NOTE 3: Span gas bottles contain 0% humidity and this ultra-low humidity condition will cause inaccurate readings when used to calibrate a detector. To prevent this error, Oldham prescribes the use of a 24” flexible In-Line Humidifying Tube.
OLCT 700/710 TP Assuming acceptable sensor signal change, after 3 minutes the reading will auto-adjust to the programmed AutoSpan level. During the next 30 seconds, the AutoSpan sequence checks the sensor for acceptable reading stability. If the sensor fails the stability check, the reading is re-adjusted back to the AutoSpan level and the cycle repeats until the stability check is passed.

OLCT 700/710 TP 3.5.5 Set Serial ID Oldham OLCT 700/710 TP detectors can be polled serially via RS-485 Modbus™ RTU. Refer to Section 4.0 for details on using the Modbus™ output feature. Set Serial ID is used to set the Modbus™ serial ID address. It is adjustable from 01 to 256 in hexadecimal format (01-FF hex).

OLCT 700/710 TP 3.5.7 Signal Output Check Signal Output Check provides a simulated 4-20mA output and RS-485 Modbus™ output. This simulation allows the user to conveniently perform a functional system check of their entire safety system. This signal output simulation also aids the user in performing troubleshooting of signal wiring problems. From the “Signal Output Check”...
OLCT 700/710 TP 3.6 Program Features Oldham OLCT 700/710 TP H S gas detectors incorporate a comprehensive set of diagnostic features to achieve Fail-Safe Operation. These Operational features and Failsafe Diagnostic features are detailed below. 3.6.1 Operational Features Over-Range When gas greater than the full-scale range is detected, the OLCT 700/710 display will continuously flash the full-scale reading (20, 50, 100ppm, 200ppm).

OLCT 700/710 TP Stability Fault - AutoSpan If the sensor fails the signal stability criteria during AutoSpan sequence (Section 3.4), the “Stability Fault” will be declared. A “Stability Fault” will cause a “Fault Detected” message to scroll once a minute on the display and drop the mA output to 0mA.
Page 32
OLCT 700/710 TP Temperature Fault If the OLCT 700/710 is currently reporting an ambient temperature that is outside of the –40°C to +75°C range, a “Temperature Fault” is declared. A “Temperature Fault” will cause the “Fault Detected” message to scroll once a minute on the display. The Modbus™ fault register bit for Temperature Fault will be set and will not clear until the fault condition has been cleared.
OLCT 700/710 TP 4. RS-485 Modbus™ Protocol OLCT 700/710 gas detectors feature Modbus™ compatible communications protocol and are addressable via the program mode. Communication is two wire, half duplex 485, 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, with the detector set up as a slave device. A master controller up to 1200 meters (4000 feet) away can theoretically poll up to 256 different detectors.

Test results should be recorded and reviewed to determine a suitable calibration interval; however, it must not exceed one year. The general manager should put safety procedures in place on-site. OLDHAM cannot be held responsible for their enforcement. 5.2 Visual Inspection The Detector should be inspected annually.

OLCT 700/710 TP a) Remove power to OLCT 700/710 TP detector by lifting the + 24VDC wire in J-Box. NOTE: It is necessary to remove power while changing the plug-in H S sensor in order to maintain area classification. b) Use a M1.5 Allen wrench to release the locking setscrew that locks the ITM and bottom housing together (One turn will suffice - Do not remove setscrew completely).

Check for obstructions through stainless flame arrestor (including being wet, blocked, or corroded). • Evaluate area for presence of any contaminating gases as listed in Section 2.4. • Note the sensor’s serial # and report repetitive problems to Oldham’s Repair Department. • Replace plug-in H S sensor. Unstable Output/ Sudden spiking Possible Causes: Unstable power supply, inadequate grounding, or inadequate RFI protection.
