B5C Operation And Maintenance Manual 2. Installation 2.1 Enclosures Physical Dimensions The enclosure is a NEMA 4 rated enclosure and can be wall mounted with 4 screws. To maintain the NEMA rating, it is important that the conduit opening is sealed upon installation.
B5C Operation And Maintenance Manual protection is built in to the transmitter, excessive levels of interference may cause instability in the output signal. 2.3 Terminals B5C Terminals 2.3.1 Wire and Cable Terminal blocks TB1 to TB7 accept 12 AWG to 24 AWG wire. Use 16 AWG or 18 AWG wire for the power supply in long wiring runs, which can be up to 1km (1,000 meters) long.
Factory default setting is disabled terminator. The B5C supplies this resistor on the main board, and it is chosen using a jumper at J4. J4 1-2: Terminator Disabled / OFF (default) J4 2-3: Terminator Enabled / ON 2.3.3 RS-485 Driver Replacement...
These can be sources of noise that can affect signal quality. The B5C has a half wave rectifier on board. You will damage devices if you mix half wave and full wave rectifiers on the same AC source. Use extreme caution when sharing a common AC source.
1-3. 3.1.1 RS485-TX/RX: When the B5C is connected to a controller system via RS-485, the traffic of the communication can be monitored visually through the two RS-485 indicators. One is RX LED, which indicates the data stream received in from the controller. The other is TX LED, which indicates the data stream out of the B5C.
3.2.4 Reset MENU Password If you forgot the main menu password, you can reset the menu password to default password “4321” by entering a correct active code. For the active code, contact ACI. 3.2.5 Exit Tool Mode Press key [F3] to return to monitoring mode.
B5C Operation And Maintenance Manual 3.3 Main Menu Tree The main menu is password protected. Once the password is accepted, you are allowed into the main menu tree. Factory default password is 4321. Note: While in the menu tree, all normal monitoring operations stop. The alarm status does not change.
The system setup subdivision contains general settings for monitor operations, communications and 4-20mA calibrations. 3.4.1 System Settings Password: Default password is 4321. The B5C RS-485 address can be defined from 0 to 255. B5C default address is 126. Address: Object ID: BACnet Device Instance Number. Default is 4005.

Default is 21. Check The sensor board is equipped with a coin battery. This setting will enable or Battery disable the B5C to check the battery voltage and beep for a low battery level. Default is ON. Output Alarm output (BV) present_value and relay output (BO) present_value support command prioritization.
B5C Operation And Maintenance Manual 3.5 Menu “2_ZERO CAL” The B5C is calibrated using a two-point calibration process. First, use a “Zero Gas”, then use a “CAL Gas” containing a known concentration of a standard reference gas, to set the second point of reference.
B5C Operation And Maintenance Manual 3.6 Menu “3_SPAN CAL” “3_ SPAN CAL” 3_ SPAN CAL Press key [F3] and the device will ask for the CAL GAS, input the concentration of the calibration gas. CAL GAS: > Press key [F3] and the device will show the calibration notice and then show the flow rate for the span calibration.
B5C Operation And Maintenance Manual 3.7 Menu “4_OUT TEST” During system installation and testing, it may be necessary to force relays and buzzers on and off. The Relay Testing feature allows the user to force the actuation of each relay. This function forces an Actuate vs.
B5C Operation And Maintenance Manual 3.8 Menu “5_VIEW SETTING” This function is to verify the settings for the alarms, relays, buzzers and analog outputs. INPUT: INSTANT 1. VIEW VIEW : 25PPM ALARM SETUP ALARM 2 OFF : 23PPM NEXT ENTER...
B5C Operation And Maintenance Manual 3.9 Menu “6_ALARM SETUP” The B5C supports alarm 1 to alarm 8. Alarm is a programmable condition that can receive a selectable input and trigger relays and buzzers. Disabled or Each alarm may be individually set to be enabled or disabled. If the alarm is disabled, the alarm will not be used to calculate or trigger anything.
B5C Operation And Maintenance Manual 3.10 Menu “7_RELAY STYLE” Enabled: Each relay may be individually set to be enabled or disabled. If it’s disabled, the relay will always de-actuate no matter what the current gas concentration. Default is Enabled. Normally Each relay may be individually set to be normally energized or normally de-energized.
Any concentration between 0ppm and 9999ppm can be simulated. 3.14 Menu “C_SITE SERVICE” and “D_FACTROY SET” Factory service staff access only. The customer has no need to operate it. 4.
