6• Chapter 1: Introduction 65-2658XL-CH4-4 M2A-XL Transmitter Operator’s Manual

Chapter 1: Introduction

Overview

This chapter briefly describes the 65-2658XL-CH4-4 M2A-XL Transmitter. This chapter also

describes the 65-2658XL-CH4-4 M2A-XL Transmitter Operator’s Manual (this document).

Table 1 at the end of this chapter lists the specifications for the M2A-XL.

About the M2A-XL Transmitter

The M2A-XL 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-XL 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-XL 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-XL transmitter. The transmitter is a 4 - 20 mA

type detector head. It consists of the IR CH4detector, calibration adapter/splash guard, terminal

PCB, the M2A-XL 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-XL

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-XL transmitter.

M2A-XL Junction Box

The M2A-XL’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

CH4detector 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 M2A-XL Transmitter” on

page 17 for complete wiring instructions.

Use the junction box’s two mounting holes to mount the M2A-XL 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 detector junction box is intended to be installed remotely from the M2A-XL junction box.

The IR CH4detector 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-XL junction box. This wiring should go through the top 3/4 NPT conduit hub. Three

spacers installed on the back of the junction box controls the distance of the junction box from a

mounting surface.

Infrared CH4Detector

The infrared methane (CH4) detector is made up of a miniature infrared CH4detector 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 CH4detector. 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-XL 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-XL. The internal components of the

M2A-XL include the terminal PCB which provides for all the wiring connections to the M2A-XL

and the control PCB which displays the gas reading and has the control buttons.
