General Monitors provides extensive documentation, white papers, and product literature for the company’s complete line of safety products, many of which can be used in combination with the TS4000. Many of these documents are available online at the General Monitors website at http://www.generalmonitors.com.
WARNING: The TS4000 is rated Explosion Proof (XP) and Intrinsically Safe (IS) for use in hazardous locations. WARNING: Conduit seals must be used to preserve the explosion proof safety of the TS4000 and help prevent ingress of water from the conduit systems.
DO NOT install the electrochemical cell into the TS4000 until you are ready to apply power to the system. Since the TS4000 is not factory calibrated to a specific cell, an initial field calibration must be completed when installing this unit.

To ensure safety, install cabling from the TS4000 to DC Ground on the power supply first, then the MODBUS and Analog device wiring connections. The +24VDC signal on the power supply must be connected last.
1. Connect the Base Unit terminal block TB1-8 to the power supply Common (OVDC). 2. If the TS4000 is being used with a +24V power supply and an industrial analog to digital (A/D) converter, you must connect the negative supply (COM) of all three devices.
3.5.4 Connecting Control Room Devices to the TB1 Block The TB1 terminal block supports the connection from the TS4000 Base Unit to a power supply. It also has several types of output signal connections that can be forwarded to readout modules, display devices, and other control room equipment.
Refer to the device documentation 3.5.5 Connecting to the +24VDC Power Supply The TS4000 operates on +24 VDC power. You must connect the TS4000 to a primary DC power source. For Information on the maximum distance between the TS4000 and the control room equipment, refer to Section 9.5.

TS4000 NOTE: If the TS4000 is ordered without relays or MODBUS communications, changing the relay or MODBUS settings will have no effect on the operation of the unit. 4.3 User Menu Display The following table explains the User Menu abbreviations displayed on the 3-digit 7-segment...
Calibration Modes, refer to Sections 4.8 and 4.9, respectively. NOTE: During power-up, the Base Unit may briefly display “F1” after displaying the software revision letter. NOTE: A new sensor may take up to sixty minutes to stabilize once installed in the TS4000.
TS4000 4.5 Using the Selection Magnet To navigate the User Menu, you must use the supplied General Monitors magnet. It allows the user to access the built-in magnetic switch without compromising the explosion proof integrity of the Base Unit. Figure 13: Selection Magnet To Use the Magnet 1.
2. Apply and remove the magnet. Wait until “CO”, “nH3“ or “CL2” displays. Apply the magnet once again to select and configure the TS4000 for the installed sensor type. The user will then have the following sensor ranges to choose from (depending on the installed sensor): •...
TS4000 NOTE: When the Sensor Range is changed, the Warning and Alarm set points are automatically scaled to the new range. The unit must now be calibrated to the new range. Refer to Section 4.9. CAUTION: If the user does not complete the menu cycle a fault occurs. For more information about faults and fault codes, refer to Section 7.1.

The current format is then displayed. If another data format is required, apply and remove the magnet until the required data format displays.
3. The relays can be reset using the Remote Reset input terminals on TB2. Connect a normally open switch between terminal TB2-7 and TB2-8. Closing the switch momentarily resets the relays. General Monitors explosion proof switch, P/N 30051-1 can be used for this purpose and installed in one of the unused ¾” conduit entries on...
Figure 17: Gas Check The sensor’s response can be checked without activating external alarms by placing the TS4000 in Gas Check Mode. In this mode, the alarm relays are inhibited and the analog output is fixed at 1.5mA. NOTE: Gas Check Mode is not accessible when either an O sensor or no sensor is installed in the TS4000.
NOTE: It is not possible to abort or end the Gas Check Mode once gas is applied. 4.8.1.3 Transferring from Gas Check Mode to Calibration The TS4000 can be transitioned directly from Gas Check Mode to Calibration Mode by reapplying the magnet to the GM logo, after applying gas and allowing for the sensor reading to stabilize.

FS and will eventually drop to “0”. If a unit time out occurs the user receives a calibration fault. The TS4000 is now calibrated and the sensor calibration constants are stored in the non- volatile memory (EEPROM).
NOTE: It is not possible to abort calibration once gas is applied. 4.10 Remaining Sensor Life The TS4000 provides an estimate of remaining sensor life, in percent remaining, to provide the user with an early warning of the need for sensor replacement. The remaining sensor life is updated each time the unit is calibrated.

The display changes from “CC” to indicate a few ppm and then drops to “0”. The unit is now calibrated and the new calibration constants are stored in the EEPROM. For calibration accessories from General Monitors, refer to Sections 9.5.4 and 9.7.
The TS4000 provides the ability of communicating via the industry standard MODBUS protocol, while acting as the slave device in a typical master / slave configuration. Upon receiving an appropriate query from the master, the TS4000 will respond with a formatted message as defined below.
TS4000 5.5 MODBUS Read Status Protocol (Query / Response) A master device reads registers from the TS4000 by sending an 8-byte message as described in Table 17. Table 17: MODBUS Read Register(s) Request Byte MODBUS Range Referenced to TS4000 Slave Address...
TS4000 5.6 MODBUS Write Command Protocol (Query / Response) A master device writes to a TS4000 register by sending a properly formatted 8-byte message as described in Table 19. Table 19: MODBUS Write Register Request Byte MODBUS Range Referenced to TS4000...
An abnormal communication between the two devices produces one of four possible events: 1. If the TS4000 does not receive the query due to a communications error, then no response is returned from the TS4000 and the master device will eventually process a timeout condition for the query.
Exception Code Field: In a normal response, the TS4000 returns data and status in the response data field. In an exception response, the TS4000 returns an exception code (describing the TS4000 condition) in the data field. Below is a list of exception codes that are supported by the TS4000:...

TS4000. 6.2 Storage The TS4000 should be stored in a clean, dry area and within the temperature and humidity ranges specified in Section 9.5. For long-term storage, remove the electrochemical cell and re-install the shorting wire. Place the electrochemical cell in the original container and close the lid.
0mA, the Fault relay de-energizes, and a Fault Code is displayed. Table 33 lists the ten fault conditions monitored by the TS4000, along with suggestions for resolving these faults. If repeated attempts to resolve the faults are unsuccessful, return the TS4000 to the factory or authorized service center for repair.
NOTE: The recommended power cable resistance for the TS4000 is 20 Ω per conductor (40 Ω loop), at +24VDC. NOTE: These faults are not overridden by an alarm or warning condition, and always have higher priority over all other faults.
