Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death. General The Model SMC 5100-02-IT Infrared Combustible Gas Sensor Module is a smart transmitter and member of the IT Series family and it offers a broad array of features including: •...
When the module is operated in conjunction with a Sentry controller, the alarm relay set-up (Section 4.3 Main Menu) should be set to “Sentry”, allowing the Sentry controller to manage alarm relay action rather than the SMC 5100-02-IT Gas Sensor Module. 1.4.2 Modbus Operation An RS-485 Modbus RTU serial interface allows direct connection to standard PLCs and DCSs.
1.5.1 Enclosure Standard on the SMC 5100-02-IT is a cast aluminum electrical housing with three ¾” FNPT conduit hubs. The SMC 5100- 02-IT-S has a 316 Stainless Steel enclosure. Both enclosure covers have a viewing window. The design of the enclosure allows 3-way mounting choices as shown below.
Power Requirements The modules operate on 24 VDC power between 10 VDC and 30 VDC. Filtered, regulated DC power must be supplied from a separate source or from an approved Sentry or IT controller. SMC 5100-02-IT Gas Sensor...
For instance, when the range of 0 to 100 %LEL has been selected, a current of 4 mA corresponds to 0 %LEL and a current of 20 mA corresponds to 100 %LEL. SMC 5100-02-IT Gas Sensor...
If the gas is heavier than air, the sensor module should be installed within 24 inches of the ground or floor. If it is lighter than air, move it above 6’. SMC 5100-02-IT Gas Sensor...
Installation and wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Voltage AC conductors are not to be run in the same conduit as voltage DC conductors. Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death. SMC 5100-02-IT Gas Sensor...
Sentry controller. Shield must be cut and dressed at the module end so that no part of it comes in contact with the conduit or ground. NOTE: Ensure all local electric code and safety requirements are followed when installing the SMC 5100-02-IT. SMC 5100-02-IT Gas Sensor...
3. For hazardous locations an Explosion poof seal fitting must be installed within 18" of the detector. NOTE: When enclosure earth grounding is required for the installation a grounding lug is located in the base of the enclosure. Install the earth ground under the green ground screw. SMC 5100-02-IT Gas Sensor...
** Trouble relay is a fail-safe so it is energized for normal operation, functions are labeled for normal operation. NOTE: The starting delay period normally takes approximately 3 minutes but under some circumstances can take longer. For optimum performance, a calibration should be performed after 24 hours of operation. SMC 5100-02-IT Gas Sensor...
Software Menu NOTE: Use selector switch to pick Sentry PSG addresses 1 through 8 only. If using Modbus output sensor, addresses 1-15 are available. Position 0 enables setting Modbus Address by software menu, in range 16-254. SMC 5100-02-IT Gas Sensor...

◦ User defined value • RS-485 – Use the [▲] or [▼] keys to select Address or Baud rate menu and press [E]. Note that the SMC 5100-02-IT has a rotary switch on the faceplate and it is used to select addresses 1-15. When connected to Sentry the user can select 1-8 and when using Modbus RS-485 the user can select addresses 1-15.
NOTE: The Key is the same as the function. Mode=M, Enter=E, Up=▲, and Down=▼. Maintenance Sub-Menu The maintenance menu enables the operator to view sensor and software versions. MSA Safety technical support has access to other values as needed. The maintenance menu operation is described in the table below.
