Page 5: Description
Four independent sourcing 4-20mA current loop outputs are available. Bridge Interface: A separate AMR Bridge Unit creates a connection between a Wireless Multi-Gas Monitor and a wired RS-485 connection. This is very useful when the application requires monitoring in permissible areas, especially where cables may be inconvenient or impractical. -
Page 6: List Of Gasses Currently Supported
List of Gasses Currently Supported: Carbon Monoxide (CO) (can be corrected for diesel fumes and Hydrogen levels) Carbon Dioxide (CO (Infrared Sensor) Hydrogen (H Hydrogen Sulfide (H Methane (CH (Infrared Sensor) Nitric Oxide (NO) Nitrogen Dioxide (NO Oxygen (O Sulfur Dioxide (SO Ammonia (NH Methane content in Natural Gas* (Currently only available for the Industrial Gas Sensor) In addition to these, when populated with CO and NO, both the Carbon Monoxide (CO) reading and the Corrected... -
Page 7: User Interface
User Interface Internal Settings: On the inside of the enclosure door, is a PCB (printed circuit board) stack. The top board in this stack is the processor board and has three rotary switches and an eight position dip switch. There is also a “Configuration Module” plugged into this board. -
Page 8: Front Panel Controls
There are 5 button locations on the front panel, which can be identified as five circles with symbols in them to indicate up, down, left, right, and enter (in the center position). These buttons are actuated using a magnetic screwdriver provided by AMR with each instrument purchased. Keypad Layout The five panel buttons are shown in the following image, just below the display. -
Page 9: Operating Modes
Operating Modes: AUTO RUN (): The auto run mode is the default mode of operation and the instrument will return to this • mode when completing or timing out from any of the other modes. In auto mode, the unit cycles through the available gases (determined when first powered on). - Page 10 CONFIGURATION (): (continued) • SENSORS (): (continued) Special sub-menu options: Diesel Nullifying CO Options (under NO): • DNUL (.) – Create a Corrected CO value used for early fire detection in the presence of diesel fumes *Wi-Fi (): This section provides control over network settings for wireless communications.

Page 11: Menu System
Menu System: Maneuvering within the menu is relatively straight forward. Within any level, use the left and right buttons to step through the options for that level. Use the enter button to select the desired option (descends into the next level). On the bottom level, the enter button will temporarily store the selection and return to the previous level. -
Page 12: Installation
Installation Wi-Fi (Wireless) System Interface: Wi-Fi Configuration First, set the dip switches on the processor board (inside the unit on the door). Set dip switch (SW1) position 8 to the ON position and the rest to the OFF position. Setting number 8 switch to the ON position tells the unit to configure the Wi-Fi module for TCP packets. - Page 13 iii. The next values shown should be (by default) 0168 for the second value, 0001 for the third value, and 0029 for the fourth value. Follow the same steps as necessary to set each of the four values making up the IPv4 address. iv.

Page 18: Bridge (Wireless/Wired) System Interface
Bridge (Wireless/Wired) System Interface: Wired Connections: Refer to “RS-485 (Wired) System Interface” on Pg. 15. The Bridge unit is designed to connect multiple Wi-Fi enabled sensors to a wired interface such as Modbus. The Wi-Fi enabled sensors will not “hop” through each other so the Bridge will have to be within wireless distance of all the client sensors. -

Page 20: Calibration
Calibration Procedure: 1. Starting from the normal operating mode (), or the holding mode () hold magnet on center button for 4 or more seconds 2. Use magnet on right and/or left buttons to select the gas to be calibrated 3. -
Page 21: Maintenance
If a gas sensor is suspect, swap the sensor module out and send the suspect module to AMR Repair, with any pertinent notes or information. They will be able to diagnose and repair the module as necessary. -
