6• Applications

WARNING: When using the 65-2380SS, you must follow the instructions and warnings in

this manual to assure proper and safe operation of the 65-2380SS and to

minimize the risk of personal injury. Be sure to maintain and periodically

calibrate the 65-2380SS as described in this manual.

Applications

The MPS combustible detector is most effective in the following applications:

• High concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) or silicones present where sensor

poisoning is a common problem

• High-humidity environments where catalytic or IR sensors may not hold up

• Environments more likely to have mixtures of hydrocarbons present

Description

The 65-2380SS combustible gas transmitter utilizes a Molecular Property Spectrometer (MPS)

sensor. The MPS sensor is immune to poisons, can be used in high humidity, and does not require

calibration as often as catalytic combustible sensors. It also responds accurately to 14 different

combustible gases.

This section describes the components of the combustible gas transmitter. The transmitter is a 4 -

20 mA type detector head. It consists of the combustible gas detector, amplifier, and junction box.

8• Description

MPS Detector

The MPS LEL detector is made up of the MPS combustible gas LEL detector housed and

encapsulated in a pipe nipple. The pipe nipple has 3/4 NPT threads on each end and a 1-1/4 inch

hex that allows removal or installation of the detector with a wrench. A porous flame arrestor

coated with a hydrophobic film that repels liquids is on one end of the detector and allows sample

gas to enter the detector. Four color coded leads, red, white, green, and black, extend from the

other end of the detector. Use the leads when connecting the detector to the terminal block in the

junction box.

Junction Box

The stainless steel, corrosion-resistant junction box allows you to install the detector at a

mounting site that is remote from a controller, and it protects the amplifier and wiring connections

made to the amplifier. An O-ring seals the interface between the junction box cover and the

junction box base. A locking set screw on the junction box cover allows you to secure the junction

box cover and prevent it from being removed.

Use the top 3/4 NPT conduit hub to connect wiring from the amplifier to the controller. Use the

cover on the front of the junction box to access the interior of the junction box. The detector and

amplifier are factory installed in the junction box.

Amplifier

The amplifier converts the electrical output from the detector to a 4 - 20 mA signal that

corresponds to the detection range and transmits the signal to a gas monitoring controller. A foam

gasket that orients the amplifier and keeps it from rotating is installed on the bottom of the

amplifier. A label on the amplifier indicates the detector drive current. The amplifier includes the

detector terminal strip, controller terminal strip, span pot, zero pot, and test points (see Figure 2).

Controller Terminal Strip

The controller terminal strip is a three position plug-in style terminal strip located near the top of

the amplifier. Use the controller terminal strip to wire the combustible gas transmitter to a

controller.

Detector Terminal Strip

The detector terminal strip is a four position plug-in style terminal strip located below the

controller terminal strip. Use the detector terminal strip to connect the MPS LEL detector to the

amplifier.

NOTE: The MPS LEL detector is factory-wired to the detector terminal strip. See “Wiring the

Combustible Gas Detector to a Controller” on page 11 for all wiring procedures related

to the transmitter.

Zero Pot

The zero pot is located in the upper left corner of the amplifier (see Figure 2). Use a small flat

blade screwdriver to turn the zero pot’s adjustment screw and adjust the amplifier’s zero (fresh

air) output during the start-up and calibration procedures. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to

increase the zero output and counterclockwise to decrease the zero output.

Span Pot

The span pot is located to the right of the zero pot (see Figure 2). Use a small flat blade

screwdriver to turn the span pot’s adjustment screw and adjust the amplifier’s gas response output

during the calibration procedure. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase the gas

response and counterclockwise to decrease the gas response.

CAUTION: The amplifier includes two additional potentiometers. They are factory-set. Do not

adjust them.

Test Points

The test points are on the left side of the amplifier (see Figure 2). The test points produce a 100

mV to 500 mV output that corresponds to the transmitter’s 4 to 20 mA output. Use the test points

and a voltmeter to measure the amplifier’s output during the start-up and calibration procedures.

The black test point in the lower left corner is the negative (-) test point and the red test point

below the zero pot is the positive (+) test point.

10 • Installation

Installation

This section describes procedures to mount the combustible gas transmitter in the monitoring

environment and wire the transmitter to a controller.

Mounting the Combustible Gas Transmitter

1. Select a mounting site that is representative of the monitoring environment. Consider the

following when you select the mounting site.

• Select a site where the transmitter is not likely to be bumped or disturbed. Make sure there

is sufficient room to perform start-up, maintenance, and calibration procedures.

• Select a site where the target gas is likely to be found first. For lighter gases, mount the

detector near the ceiling; for heavier gases, mount the detector near the floor.

Figure 3: Mounting the Combustible Gas Transmitter

2. At the monitoring site you select, hang or mount the junction box with the detector facing

down (see Figure 3).
