6 65-2649SS-CH4-4 M2A Transmitter Operator’s Manual

Chapter 1: Introduction

Overview

This chapter briefly describes the 65-2649SS-CH4-4 M2A Transmitter. This chapter also describes the 65-

2649SS-CH4-4 M2A Transmitter Operator’s Manual (this document). Table 1 at the end of this chapter lists the

specifications for the M2A.

About the M2A Transmitter

The M2A transmitter is a fixed mount, continuous-monitoring detector head. All user adjustable parameters may

be accessed using push button switches. In addition, calibration may be performed non-intrusively by use of a

magnetic wand accessory which activates magnetic switches through a window at the front face of the detector

head.

The M2A displays the current gas reading on an OLED display which is visible through the window in the cover

(front face) and provides a 4 - 20 mA signal which indicates the target gas reading for use by a gas monitoring

controller, recording device, or programmable controller. The M2A also provides an RS-485 Modbus output.

Three sets of relay contacts, two controlled by the gas alarms and one by the fail alarm, rated at 115 VAC 5 amps

are available for controlling devices such as lights or horns or for controlling higher rated relays.

Four operating modes allow you to display and change setup and calibration settings and change the gas type.

They are Calibration Mode, Configuration Mode, Gas Type Mode, and Modbus Mode.

Chapter 2: Description

Overview

This chapter describes the components of the M2A transmitter. The transmitter is a 4 - 20 mA type detector head.

It consists of the IR LEL detector, calibration adapter/splash guard, terminal PCB, the M2A junction box, and the

detector junction box. The two junction box configuration is intended for situations where the detector needs to

be installed at an inaccessible location. The detector junction box can be installed at the inaccessible location and

the M2A junction box can be installed in a more readily accessible area.

External Description

This section describes the junction boxes and all external components of the M2A transmitter.

M2A Junction Box

The M2A’s cast aluminum junction box protects the terminal PCB and wiring connections made to the terminal

PCB. Use the three 3/4 NPT conduit hubs to wire the remotely installed IR LEL detector and connect wiring

from an external device, typically an RKI controller. The top hub is shipped with a factory installed and sealed

conduit plug to avoid leaks into the junction box. If necessary, the conduit plug can be removed and the top hub

can be used for wiring.

WARNING: If the top conduit hub is used for wiring, be sure to seal the threads to ensure water does not

enter the junction box. See “Wiring the M2ATransmitter” on page 16 for complete wiring

instructions.

Use the junction box’s two mounting slots to mount the M2A to a vertical surface at the monitoring site. The

window in the cover on the front of the junction box allows you to view the OLED display and use the magnetic

wand to actuate the magnetic control switches so you can perform non-intrusive calibration. Removing the cover

allows you to access the interior of the junction box.

Detector Junction Box

The stainless steel, corrosion resistant detector junction box is intended to be installed remotely from the M2A

junction box. The IR LEL detector is factory installed in the bottom 3/4 NPT conduit hub. A terminal strip is

provided for wiring connections and the detector is factory wired to one side of this terminal strip. The other side

of the terminal strip is for user-supplied wiring to the detector terminal strip located in the M2A junction box.

This wiring should go through the top 3/4 NPT conduit hub. An O-ring seals the interface between the junction

box cover and the junction box base. Use the cover on the front of the junction box to access the interior of the

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

prevent it from being removed.

Infrared LEL Detector

The infrared LEL detector is made up of a miniature infrared 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” hex that allows

removal or installation of the detector with a wrench. A porous flame arrestor that is 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. The leads allow you to connect the

detector to the terminal strip.

Calibration Adapter/Splash Guard

A calibration adapter/splash guard is installed on the IR LEL detector. A fitting at the bottom of the calibration

adapter/splash guard allows a length of tubing to be connected for calibration and routed to a more easily

accessible location (near the M2A junction box is optimal for ease of calibration). The calibration adapter/splash

guard also protects the detector from splashing water or direct water spray.

Magnetic Wand

The magnetic wand is a short plastic rod with a magnet in one end. It is used to actuate the magnetic control

switches on the control PCB while the junction box cover is still installed so that non-intrusive calibration can be

performed.

Internal Description

This section describes the internal components of the M2A. The internal components of the M2A include the

terminal PCB which provides for all the wiring connections to the M2A and the control PCB which displays the

gas reading and has the control buttons.

Figure 2: M2A Internal Components

Terminal PCB

The terminal PCB is encapsulated in epoxy for protection against moisture and physical damage. It is mounted

into the rear of the junction box with three standoffs and rests on a thin layer of foam. A banana jack is screwed

into each of the standoffs and used for mounting the control PCB. The terminal PCB converts the electrical

output from the detector to a signal which can be displayed by the OLED display, a 4 - 20 mA signal (that is

proportional to the detection range), and an RS-485 Modbus output signal. The 4 - 20 mA signal may be used by

a recording device, gas monitor controller, or programmable controller. The Modbus output may be used to

connect the M2A to a Modbus network. The terminal PCB also controls three relays, one fail and two gas alarm

relays.

Two columns of plug-in style terminal strips are used to make all wiring connections to the M2A. The column on

the left consists of the power/signal, detector, and Modbus terminal strips. The column on the right consists of

the relay terminal strips. A 20 position connector at the bottom of the terminal PCB is used to connect the

terminal PCB to the control PCB with a ribbon cable. A 5 position connector on the left side of the terminal PCB

is used by factory or field service personnel to program the M2A. A factory adjust pot just above the

programming connector is used to set the detector current.
