6.2 Use in hazardous areas
The ALMS EX model series may only be con-
nected to the pressure sensors of the compa-
nies BD-Sensors and Siemens (others on re-
quest).
These notes indicate hazards which cause
with high probability injuries or even death if
they are not avoided..
The ALMS monitoring system may only be in-
stalled in non EX zone.
6.1 Function
The ALMS is a permanent, continuously operating control
unit for transmitter to monitor the contents of pressurized
containers. In conjunction with the pressure transmitters
mounted at the relaxation stations or cylinder scales with a
signal output of 4 - 20mA, up to 4 channels (optionally 8 chan-
nels) can be displayed. In addition, two preset thresholds
trigger alarms; crossing threshold 1 changes the color of the
channel concerned from green to yellow, threshold 2 chang-
es the color from yellow red to with additional flashing. Also
at threshold 2, an acoustic signal is sounded by the built-in
horn.
Alarm output for use as a connection to further signaling
systems such as sirens, flash lamps, or alarm messages to
upstream systems.
Contact indicates a violation of the alarm limits or a broken
cable in the sensors.
Floating switchover contact: Contact load
max. 240V / 2A.

power supply is made to
the designated terminals.
The printed voltage rating (see type label) must
match with the local voltage.
The mains connection may only be conducted
by qualified personnel with the appropriate
specialist knowledge.
The protective conductor must never be inter-
rupted. It is important to ensure that only
standard cable can be used with the protective
conductor.
7.4 Sensor connections for non Ex models
Connection of the pressure transducer takes place directly
at plug-in terminals that are identified corresponding to the
gas bottles.
S1 – S… (Different amount of sensors).
When connecting, switch off (disconnect power
supply).
For electrical connections, use shielded cable with a conduc-
tor cross section of 0.5 mm² to 2.5 mm².
Pin assignment: V+ Sensor +, V- sensor -, screen
The pressure transmitter may only be con-
nected by qualified personnel appropriate spe-
cialist knowledge. Installation instructions for
the pressure transmitter must be adhered to.
7.5 Sensor connection for Ex models
The monitoring system ALMS may only be in-
stalled in non-explosion hazard area!
The pressure transmitters are connected di-
rectly to the Zener barriers. The connections
are marked with sensor (S1 – S...) and corre-
spond to the gas cylinders (1 – x).
To comply with ATEX
standards and thus to
observe safety require-
ments, it is imperative
that the cable feeds
from the hazardous
area are laid out
through the provided
blue cable feed-
throughs. For devices
which additionally of-
fer the possibility of
cable leads from the
non-hazardous area
with gray cable feed-
throughs, only these
feedthroughs may be used. The installed plate for the Zener
barriers are to be considered a separation point.
The pressure transmitter may be connected
only by qualified personnel with the appropri-
ate specialist knowledge. The installation in-
structions of the pressure transmitter must be
adhered to.
If you use electrical equipment in installations and under en-
vironmental conditions requiring higher safety
standards, this should observe applicable laws and regula-
tions.
When connecting, shut down power
(disconnect power supply).
The approved maximum cable length
is 410 m. The cable cross-section
must not be lower than 0.5 mm2.
Connection:
Mishandling (improper connection
and installation) will invalidate the Ex
approval and any guarantees.

After tapping, a selection field of all possible gas types that
are shown. Use your finger or the stylus to select and confirm
the gas type. The designation is displayed in the main menu
on the left, vertically next to the gas cylinder and the gas
cylinder changes to the color code of the gas type.
Additional information
This text is displayed vertically, to the right of the cylinder
e. g. “right cylinder”.
Sensor type
In the Type field, enter the max. pressure of the connected
sensor. The value can be found in the data sheet or on the
type plate of the sensor, e.g. “400 Bar”.
Size
Enter nominal capacity of connected cylinder. E.g. 50 l for a
single cylinder or 600 l for a bundle.

13
Cyl. pressure
Enter the pressure of the cylinder or bundle as specified by
Air Liquide.
Example: Enter “300 bar”, then the max. bottle content is cal-
culated to 300 bar. The pressure inside the bottle is set to
300 bar for 100 % and is displayed according to the cylinder
content. In the field below the cylinder, the current absolute
pressure is displayed.
Warning
When the warning limit is reached, the cylinder content are
highlighted in yellow.
