Page 4: Introduction
• Smoke (MOS) (NOT Recommended) **Although the P50 can be fitted with a MOS sensor we do not recommend this options for the P50, we therefor recommend a dedicated MOS sensor such as our S16 monitor. The P50 is South African manufactured and is certified to the International Standards and Compliance IEC (SANS) 10086-2:2006.

The P50 operates as a user friendly device with real time data available to the user. All the measurements and data are available on the 16x2 OLED display, audio/visual indicator and RS485 network. All parameters are adjustable via personal computer.
Page 6: Best Installation Practice
BEST INSTALLATION PRACTICE This section of the manual is intended as a guideline only for the installation of the P50 environmental sensor as shown in a typical underground operation. This guideline does not supersede local authority or rules for your environment as installations are required to be approved by the authoritative person responsible for the ventilation/environmental monitoring where the device is to be located.
Page 7 Figure 2 – Path Position The P50 should not be mounted to close to either side of the ventilation path, or where cross flows could influence the reading. Figure 3 – Installation Attitude When the P50 is hung it should be hung as level as possible.
Page 8 Figure 4 – Directional Position For optimal Velocity readings the P50 should be positioned ensuring the Sensor indicated is positioned in the airflow Sensor to remain in the airflow Air Flow P a g e...

Page 18: Communications
COMMUNICATIONS The P50 utilises an Isolated RS485 communication setup standard on all models. The Modbus RTU protocol is used for all real time data and configuration settings. Modbus RTU All sensor readings and configuration settings are available via the RS485 Modbus RTU network.
Page 19 The alarm trigger register is a bitwise register indicating if the P50 is in an alarm condition, zero indicating no alarm condition. The alarm register bits are only active when the alarm levels has been set on the P50.
