EAR99 Technology Subject to Restrictions Contained on the Cover Page 1. Introduction 1.1 Description Teledyne Detcon Model TP-624D hydrogen sulfide sensors are non-intrusive “Smart” sensors designed to detect and monitor H S in air. Ranges of detection are 0-20ppm, 0-50ppm, and 0-100ppm. The sensor features an LED display of current reading, fault, and calibration status.
The sensor response is reversible and results in continuous monitoring of ambient air conditions. 1.2 Modular Mechanical Design The Model TP-624D Sensor Assembly is completely modular and is made up of four parts: 1) TP-624D Plug-in Transmitter 2) Field Replaceable H...
PCB, and unthreading the sensor from the junction box. The Teledyne Detcon solid state H S sensor has an infinite shelf life and is supported by a 10 year, industry-leading warranty.
1.3 Relay Outputs The TP-624D includes three 5A Form C relay outputs. Two of these relays are dedicated to alarm outputs, and the third is used to indicate when the sensor is in fault. The common and normally closed contacts on the alarm relays are connected when the gas concentration is below the alarm threshold.
NOTE: It is mandatory to bump test or span calibrate the detector following field situations where exposures to IP 66 level ingresses from dust or water have been presented. TP-624D Instruction Manual Rev. 0.9 Page 5 of 41...
Painting sensor assemblies is prohibited. Although the sensor is designed to be RFI resistant, it should not be mounted in close proximity to high-powered radio transmitters or similar RFI generating equipment. TP-624D Instruction Manual Rev. 0.9 Page 6 of 41...
Ethanol 500 = 5 NOTE: The Teledyne Detcon MOS Sensor Cell can be damaged to the point of non-functioning if the unit is left off power and in the presence normal air levels of moisture for periods exceeding 8 hours.
The TP-624D should be vertically oriented so that the sensor points straight downward. The explosion-proof enclosure or junction box would then typically be mounted on a wall or pole (See Figure 7). Teledyne Detcon provides a selection of standard junction boxes in both Aluminum and Stainless Steel.

3. Operation 3.1 Programming Magnet Operating Instructions The Operator Interface of the TP-624D gas sensors is accomplished via two internal magnetic switches located above and below the LED display (Figure 11). The two switches, labeled “PGM1” and “PGM2”, allow for complete calibration and configuration, thereby eliminating the need for area de-classification or the use of hot permits.

NOTE 4: Span gas bottles contain 0% humidity and this ultra-low humidity condition will cause inaccurate readings when used to calibrate a sensor. To prevent this error, Teledyne Detcon prescribes the use of a 24” flexible In-Line Humidifying Tube, which adds the relative humidity to the span gas.

“Fault Detected” message will be displayed alternately with the sensor’s current reading. The 4-20mA output will be taken to 0mA. The “Range Fault” bit in Modbus register 40005 will be set. TP-624D Instruction Manual Rev. 0.9 Page 17 of 41...

Set Heater Power is used to set each H S sensor to the optimum operating temperature. This function is performed during factory calibration of each TP-624D sensor assembly, and is not necessary during installation. However, it is necessary to perform in the field if the plug-in H S sensor is replaced, mounted remotely from the Transmitter Module, or if the Restore Factory Defaults function has been executed.
Move to another menu item by executing a momentary hold, or, return to Normal Operation via automatic timeout of about 15 seconds. 3.5.6 Restore Factory Defaults TP-624D Instruction Manual Rev. 0.9 Page 22 of 41...
NOTE: The default settings on the TP-624D are not restored until power is cycled on the sensor. Following the execution of “Restore Defaults” and a power cycle of the sensor, the TP-624D will revert to its factory default settings. The default settings are: NOTE: The following must be performed in order before the sensor can be placed back into operation.
This is the most common mode of operation for the TP-624D. The alarm relays can also be activated in descending mode. In this mode, the alarm relays will activate when the concentration is below the alarm threshold.
3.5.9 Fault Settings The TP-624D contains a single Form C fault relay output. This relay can be configured to change state when the sensor experiences a fault condition. This relay can be configured to operate in either energized or non-energized mode.
3.6.2 Fault Diagnostic/Failsafe Features Fail-Safe/Fault Supervision Model TP-624D MicroSafe™ sensors are designed for Fail-Safe operation. If any of the diagnostic faults listed below are active, the sensor display will scroll the message “Fault Detected” every 60 seconds during normal operation. At any time during “Fault Detected” mode, holding the programming magnet over PGM1 or PGM2 for 1 second will display the active fault(s).

Fault” will cause the “Fault Detected” message to scroll once a minute on the sensor display. If an AutoSpan Reminder Fault occurs, the 4-20mA signal remains operational, but the “Sensor Fault” bit will be set. TP-624D Instruction Manual Rev. 0.9...
A master controller up to 4000 feet away can poll up to 256 different TP-624D sensors. This number may not be realistic in harsh environments where noise and/or wiring conditions would make it impractical to place so many devices on the same pair of wires. If a multi-point system is being utilized, each sensor should be set for a different address.
