OVERVIEW Pem-Tech model PT902M is a microprocessor based single channel monitor that utilizes the latest digital design techniques in instrumentation. The monitor uses an 8-bit high speed RISC processor with a highly accurate analog to digital logic. The control module receives signal from the remote gas transmitter, displays the gas concentration, and generates 4-20mA analog output.

INSTALLATION AND START UP Model PT902M Control Module is suitable to mount in a PT900-12R Series Rack assembly with card guides for main circuit board mounting. On the front panel a captive screw is provided to secure the control module to the rack.
Setting Unit Address ID ***** Skip this section if RS485 or Remote annunciator are not used ****** On PT900-12R Termination board two jumper J1 and J2 located on upper left corner are used for extended module address. Proper jumpers are requied if remote annunciators are connected or RS485 Port is used.
DC Power Input A two (2) pin wire terminal is provided on the rear termination board for DC power input. The terminal is clearly labeled DC IN. Connect the external DC power to this terminal. Nominal DC power is 24 Volts Refer to figure 3 for the location of the DC IN terminal.

Start Up Complete the following procedures for the normal unit operation. 1. Complete the mounting and wiring procedures described in earlier sections. 2. Follow gas sensor & transmitter operation manual for proper wiring of sensors with the monitor. 3. Verify all the wiring connections to be correct and secure. 4.
NORMAL OPERATION AND ALARMS Normal Operation During normal operation each control module will display the current gas concentration on the display. If the sensor reading is below alarm level then all the alarm relays and the visual alarm LED indicators on the front panel should be off.
Alarm Bypass In the Alarm Bypass mode the monitor will not activate the alarm relays if any of the sensor reading exceeds the programmed alarm level. However, the visual alarm LED indicators will be activated. To put the alarms in bypass mode move the ALARM toggle switch on the front panel of the control module to BYPASS position.

Programming Alarm Levels 1. Move the toggle switch on the front panel to BYPASS position. 2. Press and hold the pushbutton switch (above the toggle switch) until the Low alarm LED starts flashing. Release the switch. 3. While the LED is flashing the display will show the current alarm level. To change the level press and hold the pushbutton switch until the display reads the desired alarm setting.
RELAYS LATCHING NON−LATHING 1 2 3 4 Setting alarm contacts as Normally Open or Normally Closed To set the alarm contacts as normally open or normally closed set the jumpers for each relay located right above the relay on the control module. See figure 6.
The malfunction also occurs if wires connecting the sensors are broken. The fault relay is always non-latching and has a common alarm contact on the PT900-12R termination board. The relay however, can be programmed as normally open or normally closed.
