I. SPECIFICATIONS Model: SEC 3100 Transmitter For use with: SEC Millenium and SEC Signature series infrared sensors and SEC 3000 Toxic and Oxygen gas sensors. Part Number: SEC 3100100 Output (analog): 4-20 mA (Source type), max. 1000 Ohm load at 24 VDC supply voltage...
The first step in the installation process is to establish a mounting location for the SEC 3100 transmitter and gas sensor. Select a location that is typical of the atmosphere to be monitored or close to the anticipated source of a dangerous gas.

Warm-up When power is applied to the SEC 3100, it enters a one (1) minute warm-up mode. The output current will be 0.8 mA during the warm up time period. At the end of the warm-up period with no faults present, the SEC 3100 automatically enters the normal operating mode (4.0 mA with no gas present).

The 4 to 20 mA output of the SEC 3100 sensor is a non-isolated current source. Current Output and Corresponding Status Current Output Status 0-20 mA Normal measuring mode 0.0 mA Unit Fault 0.2 mA Reference channel fault 0.4 mA Analytical channel fault 0.8 mA...
IV. MAGNETIC SWITCH OPERATION The SEC 3100 has three (3) magnetic switch pickups on the Display PCB. The picture below shows the location of the magnetic switches labeled UP, DOWN and ENTER. Placing a magnet in close proximity to one of the switches will cause the following operations to occur.

DATE TIME Selecting Enter for the Self Test will make the sensor generate a 4-20 mA input into the SEC 3100 from 4 mA to 20 mA (0-fullscale). In the self test mode the SEC 3100 outputs are fully functional. The SEC 3100 will display the rising gas level, the 4-20 mA output will increase to 20 mA, the relays will actuate and the RS485 information will be transmitted to the control system.
