1 System Description 1.1 The Tunnel Tech 500 Series Concept Tunnel Tech 500 Series is an all-new tunnel atmosphere monitoring system designed exclusively for road tunnel applications. It offers a family of monitors that provide all the essential measurements necessary to...
Operation and Maintenance Manual The monitoring stations, Figure 1, provide all required measurements and outputs at each monitoring location within the tunnel. Figure 1: Tunnel Tech 500 Series - Monitoring Station 1.2 CO, NO, and NO CO, NO and NO are measured using electrochemical cell technology.
The PSU is required to convert the mains (90-263V AC) supply to the 24V DC required to power the TunnelTech 500. mains input connections Figure 2: Tunnel Tech 500 Series - power supply unit 24V DC Issue : A Rev. : 3 Date : 13/11/2018 Ref.
CODEL Operation and Maintenance Manual 2 Principles of Operation 2.1 Electro Chemical Cell – CO/NO/NO In order to measure the level of gas (CO/NO/NO ), the Tunnel Tech 500 uses an electro chemical cell to convert the gas in to readable data. The gas diffuses in to the sensor and interacts with the electrode within the cell.
CODEL Operation and Maintenance Manual 4 Installation Be sure to observe all necessary safety precautions at all times during installation. All cable gland entry holes are drilled and tapped M20 x 1.5 and are fitted with blanking plugs. Cable glands are to be supplied by the customer according to the cables used during installation.

After checking all the cable connections against the connection schedule, switch on the mains power and wait for power-up sequence to complete and Data validity LED (green) to come on. When powered on, the display unit will come on displaying CODEL – FM (manufacturer’s name) and TunnelTech 500 (instrument’s name).
CODEL Operation and Maintenance Manual NOTE: If the display unit is unable to communication with the attached peripheral the screen will display a communications fault. This will show an “E-Cell Comm Fault” or “Vis Comm Fault” respective of where the fault resides.

CODEL Operation and Maintenance Manual 5.3.2 Detector levels From the menu position below the detector levels can be observed. In zero conditions the E-Cell detector levels should be: Approx. 26215 for CO (cell 1) Approx. 26215 for NO (cell 2) Approx.
CODEL Operation and Maintenance Manual 5.4 mA Output Setup The mA output menu allows the user to configure the measurand, zero and span information for the attached mA boards. In addition, the menu allows the user to simulate a given value on any attached board to test each individual channel.
Page 27
CODEL Operation and Maintenance Manual Using the keys, manipulates the onscreen value with the key moving to the next available location or setting the entered value if all 5 fields are complete. 5.4.3 mA Span Value When setting the Span value on the mA board, the menu system uses the measurand to determine how to handle the requested information.
CODEL Operation and Maintenance Manual 5.5 Relay Output Setup The relay output menu works in conjunction with the mA output menu, allowing the user to independently configure the relay measurand, direction and trigger level for each individual channel. 5.5.1 Relay Trigger Measurand The first menu accessible Is the measurand selection menu, this menu displays the measurand on which the alarm should trigger.
Page 29
CODEL Operation and Maintenance Manual 5.5.2 Relay Direction The relay system allows the user to configure if the relay channel is set to normally open or normally closed. This option is useful in fail-safe environments where power outages are common, forcing the connected relays to switch in case of power failure.
CODEL Operation and Maintenance Manual 5.6 Time and Date The TunnelTech 500 contains a real-time clock and calendar. Allowing the system to keep up to date with maintenance. On entering the RTCC setup menu, the user is presented with the device’s current time and date Press the keys to cycle between the time and date.

Replacement of the electrochemical cell board is required every 18 months. The replacement cells will be supplied from CODEL pre-calibrated complete with card. Failure to replace cells will invalidate the warranty and performance of the analysers after this time cannot be guaranteed.
Operation and Maintenance Manual 6 Maintenance The Tunnel Tech 500 Series system is designed for low maintenance. The sensors utilise the latest microprocessor technology. The TunnelTech 500 sensor uses an infrared source that has a life expectancy of over 3 years.
Page 33
When the date elapses the alarm LED illuminates to warn the user that the E-Cells are due to be replaced. Every 18 months it is required to replace the electrochemical cell. The replacement cells will be supplied from CODEL pre-calibrated complete with PCB. To check the maintenance due date for the E-Cell, refer to section 5.3.1 Ensure the device is disconnected from the power before performing any internal maintenance To remove the electrochemical cell, open the TT700 casing and locate the E-Cell.

9 Appendix 1: MODBUS Communication & RS485 Connection The MODBUS protocol output of the Tunnel Tech 500 Series AQM is taken via the 4-way plug. RS485 connection is also available and the following wiring schematic and photograph illustrate the connections for this feature.
Page 42
Using standard MODBUS protocol function 03 allows a host to obtain the contents of one or more holding registers in the CODEL MODBUS Air Quality Monitor (AQM). The request frame from the host (typically a DCS or SCADA) defines the relative address of the first holding register followed by the total number of consecutive registers to be read.
