  • Page 8: 2.0 System Specifications

    This Chapter provides detailed specifications for the model S800 Machine Mounted Methane Monitoring System. The system mechanical, electrical and environmental specifications present the Model S800 in Technical terms. The unit description is provided for insertion into other written specifications by architects and engineers.
  • Page 9: Electrical Specifications

    Electrical Classifications: the sensor is rated for use in Class I, Division 1, Groups B, C & D. The model S800 is designed for use in hazardous environments. Machine Cut-off Relay Output: 10A @ 120Vac SPDT, 5A @ 600Vac SPDT.
  • Page 10: System Description

    Model S800 System Description The monitor and sensor shall be MSHA approved and be capable of monitoring 0 to 5% Methane gas by volume or 0 to 100% LEL concentration. The monitor shall have an interface panel, providing magnetic switches for the following indications: 2-discrete alarm threshold level indicators, a fault or malfunction indicator, a calibration mode indicator and a 2-digit display.
  • Page 11: Installation

    S800 Installation Access must be provided for the cable to enter the right, left or back side of the S800 housing. Adequate clearance should be left for removal access of the electronics module. The location of the Model S800 should be protected by an overhanging part of the machine or a canopy provided for that purpose.
  • Page 12: S800 Terminal Connections

    S800 Terminal Connections All instrument wire connections to the Model S800 are made to the connector located in the base of the unit’s explosion proof (XP) housing. The connector accepts 14 or 16 AWG stranded wire. Recommended strip length of the wire inserted into the connector is shown in Figure 1.
  • Page 13: Sensor Locations

    Model S800 System power “ON” Test Ensure that all mining machine switches for main power, pumps, cutting heads, headlights, loading arms, etc. are “OFF” Energize mining machine cable main power and note the following. During a 20 second start-up, the digital display will show an increasing, then decreasing gas level as the sensor warms up and stabilizes.

  • Page 15: Sensor Poisons

    Model S800 Sensor Poisons Sensors may be adversely affected by prolonged exposure to certain atmospheres. The important contaminants are: • Silicones contained in greases or aerosols are the most common “coating” agents, which reduce sensor response. • Prolonged exposure to Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) gas.
  • Page 16: 4.0 Operation

    Electrical Inputs/Outputs The General Monitors catalytic bead sensor (field device) input is made to the terminal block at the base of the S800 XP housing (see chapter 3 for more detailed installation information). • The sensor connections consists of the following three leads; Black = Reference Bead, White = Active Bead, Red = Sensor power.
  • Page 17: Latch/Non-Latch Alarm

    The ramp test ramps up from the current gas level, and returns to the current gas level. Each alarm LED will light when the alarm set-point is exceeded. Fault Diagnostics In addition to the Fault LED, the Model S800 provides a fault code on the digital display whenever a fault condition occurs. •...
  • Page 18 If this fault continues to occur, replace the sensor and re-calibrate. • F6 – Low supply voltage. Make sure the supply voltage level at the S800 is 15Vdc ± 2Vdc. An unlatched F6 indicates momentary brown out or drop out of AC voltage. •...
  • Page 19: 5.0 User Interfaces

    This chapter discusses the user interfaces along with the Auto-Calibration Mode. Types of Interfaces User interfaces are provided so that the operator may interpret and direct the Model S800 in the performance of its various functions. User interfaces consist of (Figure 3): •...
  • Page 20: Figure 4: Entering Auto-Calibration Sepuence

    Model S800 Figure 4: Entering Auto-Calibration Sequence When the magnet is removed from the Calibration switch, the digital display will indicate a flashing “AC” (Figure 5). Figure 5: “AC” Auto-Calibration Display The unit is now setting a zero value. When flashing “AC” becomes a steady “AC”...
  • Page 21: Figure 7: "Cc" Auto-Calibration Display

    Model S800 Figure 7: “CC” Auto-Calibration Display If the unit does not see gas or the unit cannot calibrate within six minutes, an “F2” fault condition will be displayed. Activating the Reset/Test switch will reset the unit out of the “F2” fault. The unit will return to normal operation with the previous calibration levels restored.

    (Figure 8). Figure 8: Sensor Housing Drawing One end of the housing is tapped for use with a General Monitors sensor (3/4 NPT), while the other end is tapped for use with an MSHA approved packing gland. The set screws used to guard against vibration related loosening of both the sensor and packing gland nut most be in place during operation, otherwise the MSHA explosion proof approval is void.
  • Page 23: Dust Guard Assembly

    Model S800 The splash guard is recommended for reducing dust and rock damage to the sensor head. The S800 MUST be calibrated with the splash guard in place. Figure 9: Splash Guard, Picture Dust Guard Assembly The Dust Guard Assembly (UCISC #452328) is a simple, threaded stainless steel cylinder with a wire screen at one end.
