(1) the site/facility where the equipment is being installed and (2) the potentially present gas types and their dispersion. Otis strongly recommends that the end-user consults with the appropriate third-party Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) and Industrial Hygiene (IH) professionals to determine the final quantity and placement of your gas detection devices.
INSTALLATION AND STARTUP 2.2 PRODUCT MOUNTING It is recommended to mount the unit to a solid structure (such as a concrete wall, steel column, or angle iron) where a minimum of vibration will be transmitted to the unit. Alternately, a pole may be used along with a strap or a U-bolt, as long as it is rigid and of sufficient strength.
To provide DC power to the OI-6000K, you will need to connect the power cable from the sensor terminal block on an Otis monitor, or alternate user supplied power source, to the OI-6000K power terminal block located on the backplane of the enclosure. An electrician will need to install the proper cord grip for the cabling being used.
Page 14
To utilize the added functionality of the device, additional wiring is necessary. If an Otis Monitor is not used, the OI- 6000K can be powered from any +12 to +35 VDC power supply that can supply at least 1.250 Amps.
INSTALLATION AND STARTUP 2.3.3 CONNECTING 4-20 MA OUTPUT To utilize the 4-20 mA wired analog output feature of the OI-6000K, you will need to connect the signal cable from your monitoring device to the OI-6000K terminal block located on the backplane as well as a common ground reference wire.
The OI-6000K supports Modbus RTU over a RS-485 link. To integrate your device with RS-485 Modbus data communications, you will need to connect the Modbus cable from your Otis Monitor RS-485 input terminal block to the OI-6000 RS-485 output terminal block located on the control board of the unit.
Page 17
BROWN NOTICE If an Otis Monitor is not used, the OI-6000K can be connected to a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) for RS-485 Modbus data communications. For integration and setup, refer to the Modbus Register Map found in Appendix C of this manual.
INSTALLATION AND STARTUP 2.3.5 CONNECTING RELAYS/ALARMS The OI-6000K relays are used to power and control the included strobe light and dual-tone horn. The strobe light and dual-tone horn are prewired from the factory and require no wiring by the end user. The following instructions are for reference if the strobe light or dual-tone horn need to be replaced in the field.

PRODUCT SETTINGS AND CONFIGURATION 3.7 FAULT TERMINAL FAIL-SAFE SETTING The Fault Terminal Fail-Safe status behavior can be adjusted to either activate during a fault condition or deactivate during a fault condition. The default setting is to deactivate during a fault condition, this setting should only be adjusted if the opposite behavior is desired.
1 to 247 available for your device. The RS-485 Modbus communication parameters used in Otis devices is 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit; these parameters are fixed and cannot be changed. The floating point data values are presented with the least significant bytes first.
For successful communication, the baud rate setting of the OI-6000K MUST match the baud rate setting on the attached Otis Monitor, or other Modbus device. All Otis devices have factory default Modbus baud settings of 9600 bps. The RS-485 Modbus communication...
Setting the 4-20 mA offset allows the end-user to calibrate the sensor’s analog output. Upon installation of the device, if the detected gas reading on OI-6000K does not correspond to the reading on the Otis Monitor, or other monitoring device, the zero offset (4 mA) and the full-scale offset (20 mA) can be adjusted on the unit.
1. Use the ADD and SUB buttons to increase and decrease the full-scale offset, respectively, until the Otis Monitor reads the full scale value for that channel. 2. Press the MENU button to save the desired setting and to advance to the display screen contrast setting screen.

OPERATION SETTINGS 3. Press the ADD button to select “Yes” to confirm that the sensor is in clean air and to begin nulling the sensor. If the sensor is not in clean air, press the SUB button to select “No” to discontinue the null process and to return to the previous screen.
OPERATION SETTINGS 4.2.2 CALIBRATING THE SENSOR (MANUAL CAL) You should ONLY perform the calibration of the sensor after the null process has been completed. For best results, use 50% of the sensor scale of your target gas in an air balance with a flow rate of 0.25 to 0.5 LPM.
OPERATION SETTINGS 4.2.3 CALIBRATING THE SENSOR (AUTO CAL) You should ONLY perform the calibration of the sensor after the null process has been completed. For best results, use 50% of the sensor scale of your target gas in an air balance with a flow rate of 0.25 to 0.5 LPM.
Page 46
OPERATION SETTINGS 5. Affix a regulator to the calibration gas bottle. 6. Attach the tubing on the Calibration Adapter Kit to the regulator on the calibration gas bottle. 7. Ensure that the gas is flowing and press the MENU button to begin calibrating the sensor, the unit will automatically begin the calibration process, the amount of time on the timer will vary based on the gas type.
OPERATION SETTINGS 4.3 SENSOR ALARM SETTINGS The OI-6000K has two alarm settings: LOW alarm and HIGH alarm. All alarm set-points are field adjustable up to 60% of the full-scale gas concentration. The factory default setting on the OI-6000K for the LOW alarm is 10% of full scale and 15% of full scale for the HIGH alarm.
OPERATION SETTINGS 4.3.2 SENSOR LOW ALARM RISE/FALL SETTING 1. Use the ADD and SUB buttons to select between activation on a Rising or a Falling gas level, respectively. 2. Press the MENU button to save the desired setting and to advance to the sensor HIGH alarm setting screen.
OPERATION SETTINGS 4.3.4 SENSOR HIGH ALARM RISE/FALL SETTING 1. Use the ADD and SUB buttons to select between activation on a Rising or a Falling gas level, respectively. 2. Press the MENU button to save the desired setting and to advance to setting the radio address (if you have a radio module installed), otherwise you will return to Normal Operating Mode.
5 PRODUCT MAINTENANCE 5.1 SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE Otis recommends that our equipment be calibrated a MINIMUM of every 90 days, and STRONGLY advise that calibration be performed every 30 days. Without knowing the specific application, sensor assembly location, gas exposure, and other factors, the company recommends monthly calibrations – assuming no damage or potential damage has occurred to the sensor and that there has not been a power outage to the sensor assembly.
The sensor elements used in the OI-6000K detects gas in either % or PPM concentrations, this element must be fully functional in order for the system to operate correctly. Otis recommends replacing the sensing element whenever a slow response to gas is observed during the normal calibration process. After replacing the sensing element the device MUST then be nulled and calibrated for proper operation of the device.

PRODUCT MAINTENANCE 4. Plug in the new sensing element into the sensor housing board. Ensure that the pins on the sensing element align with the sockets on the sensor housing board. 5. Screw the sensor housing cap back onto the sensor housing base, ensuring that the sensor housing cap is only tightened hand tight.

A daisy chain is a wiring scheme in which multiple devices are wired together in a sequence, or in a ring. Daisy chains may be used for power, analog signals, digital data, or a combination thereof. For the purposes of Otis devices, the term daisy chain refers to multiple devices connected in a series to form a single long line of devices, connected via the wiring patterns embedded within each device.
