Page 5: Safety Information
Installation in any hazardous area must comply with all applicable restrictions, requirements, and guidelines for said hazardous areas. It is the end user customer’s final decision to ensure that the PROTECTOR P32 System Controller is suitable for the intended use. -
Page 6: Overview
PROTECTOR P32 User’s Manual, Revision 1.1 OVERVIEW The GDS Corp PROTECTOR P32 System Controller is designed to provide power for and monitor gas values from up to 32 wired gas monitors via industry-standard 4-20mA analog inputs. The PROTECTOR P32 features a 10” diagonal high-contrast, sunlight-readable color LCD display... -
Page 7: Installation
INSTALLATION POWER INPUT CONNECTION The PROTECTOR P32 is designed to operate on a clean source of 110VAC / 60 HZ or 220VAC / 50 Hz. Gas detection systems operate most efficiently when the AC supply is provided by an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). This ensures stable and reliable power and keeps the system from going offline for several minutes in the event of a short power loss. -
Page 8: Figure 3-2: Analog Input Wiring Connections
PROTECTOR P32 User’s Manual, Revision 1.1 ANALOG INPUT CONNECTIONS The PROTECTOR P32 has either sixteen or thirty-two analog inputs with associated +24V excitation and ground connections for easy connection to three-wire devices with 4-20mA analog outputs. The normal zero-to-full scale input range is 4-20mA; however, values between 0mA and 4mA are also monitored to recognize FAULT conditions and sensor diagnostic outputs. -
Page 9: Figure 3-3: Analog Output Wiring Connections
PROTECTOR P32 User’s Manual, Revision 1.1 ANALOG OUTPUTS The PROTECTOR P32 can support sixteen or thirty-two analog outputs. These are configured to output any value between 0 mA and 20 mA and mirror the inputs associated with that channel. Each output has a nominal resolution of 12 bits and a max loop voltage of 10V and max loop resistance of 500 ohms. -
Page 10: Figure 3-4: Modbus Serial Interface
Figure 3-4: MODBUS Serial Interface MODBUS TCP HOST INTERFACE The PROTECTOR P32 also includes a MODBUS / TCP host interface located on the back of the HMI screen. To configure the host interface, set the IP address, net mask and gateway values in the Communications Menu and use PORT 502 to access the MODBUS data. -
Page 11: Figure 3-6: Relay Output Wiring Connections
PROTECTOR P32 User’s Manual, Revision 1.1 ALARM RELAYS The PROTECTOR P32 has six programmable dry-contact SPDT relays that can be used to control external lights, horns, or other warning devices. Each relay has a COMMON, NORMALLY OPEN and NORMALLY CLOSED contact. When the relay is NOT energized, a connection exists between COMMON and NORMALLY CLOSED. -
Page 12: Figure 3-7: Remote Alarm Ack Interface
PROTECTOR P32 User’s Manual, Revision 1.1 REMOTE ACKNOWLEDGE The PROTECTOR P32 supports a remote Alarm Acknowledge pushbutton that can be installed up to 100 ft from the enclosure. The button should be MOMENTARY, NORMALLY OPEN. In electrically noisy environments, GDS Corp recommends running the wiring in metallic conduit for maximum reliability. -
Page 13: Programming & Setup
Channels are programmed using the CHANNEL CONFIGURATION MENU, while global settings for the entire controller are programmed using the SYSTEM SETUP MENU detailed later in this chapter. After power-up, the PROTECTOR P32 will display a start-up screen followed by the Primary Display. PRIMARY DISPLAY After power-up, the PRIMARY DISPLAY screen is activated (See Figure 4-1). -

PROTECTOR P32 User’s Manual, Revision 1.1 RELAY CONFIGURATION MENU The RELAY SETUP MENU (Page 1) and RELAY SETUP MENU (Page 2) allow the user to program the six dedicated alarm relays. Page 1 and page 2 are identical except for the relay numbers. -
Page 19: Figure 4-6: Communications Menu
PROTECTOR P32 User’s Manual, Revision 1.1 COMMUNICATIONS MENU The PROTECTOR P32 SYSTEM CONTROLLER features an RS-485 serial communication port that is configured as a MODBUS serial slave. External MODBUS masters can access the controller’s data and status by reading predefined registers from the P32. See Chapter 6 for a list of MODBUS registers and data formats. -

Page 23: Figure 4-10: Output Override Menu (Relays)
Confirming proper operation of alarm systems connected to the PROTECTOR P32 is critical. To support that need, the PROTECTOR P32 has an OUTPUT OVERRIDE menu that allows the user to manually trigger alarm relays and preset analog outputs to fixed values. -
Page 24: Figure 4-11: Output Override Menu (Analog Outputs)
Pressing “4mA”, “12mA” or “20mA” will cause the output from each channel to switch to the appropriate zero value, half-scale value or full-scale value. This makes it easy to calibrate or test remote analog inputs being fed by the PROTECTOR P32. NOTE: USE EXTREME CAUTION when forcing outputs to operate in a manner not consistent... -
Page 25: Modbus Register Map
MODBUS REGISTER MAP MODBUS OPERATION If the MODBUS serial interface is enabled (See Fig. 4-6), the PROTECTOR P32 will respond to MODBUS data read requests with integer, floating point and binary status information on each of the 32 channels.
