Section 2: Plan
2.1 Locate controller / sensor
Prior to the installation process, a location plan for placing the
controller and sensor should be developed. Although there are no
absolute rules determining the quantity and location of a sensor or
controller, the following points should be considered when planning
the installation.
 Locate the controller where it will be accessible and visible.
 Carefully locate sensor in an area where gases may potentially
accumulate.
 Use redundant systems to enhance protection and reliability.
 Light gases tend to rise; heavy gases tend to accumulate in low
areas.
 Consider the air movement patterns within the facility.
 Consider the construction of the facility (such as trenches where
heavy gases may accumulate or peaks where light gases may
accumulate).
 Seek advice from experts knowledgeable about the primary gas to
be detected.
 Use common sense and refer to the regulatory publications that
discuss guidelines for your industry. The two most common
installations options are as follows.
2.2 Option 1
Locate the sensor separate from the controller using a Certified
Junction Box. If the Net Safety Multi-Purpose Junction Box is being used,
refer to MAN-0081 for terminal designations.
The controller is located near eye level. The conduit is run from the
controller to the sensor. A calibration cup (CCS-1) can be attached to
the sensor. Tubing can be run from the CCS-1 to a convenient location
accessible for calibration gas to be injected.
2.3 Option 2
The sensor is attached directly to the controller. See Figure 2-1 for
details. The CCS-1 and tubing is used to facilitate calibration.
TIP: The calibration cup (CCS-1) allows for tubing to be affixed to a
sensor mounted in remote locations. The tubing is directed to a level,
usually close to the controller, for easy injection of calibration gas. The
calibration cup can also act as a splash guard, protecting sensors
mounted low to the ground.

3.2 External equipment
It is necessary that reliable monitoring and indicating devices or
systems be connected to the detector. These devices must be designed
to produce clear visual and audible danger signals when high signal
levels occur.
3.3 Mount
The controller should be mounted near eye-level and be easily
accessible for calibration and maintenance purposes. The sensor should
be placed where gas is likely to accumulate and mounted pointing
downwards as shown in Figure 3-1.
Ensure all devices are securely mounted, taking into consideration all
requirements.
If necessary, use the face rotation option to mount the Millennium
Controller at a different orientation. Refer to Face rotation option for
detailed instructions.

Section 4: Wire
4.1 Field installation
Wiring codes and regulations may vary. Wiring must comply with
applicable regulations relating to the installation of electrical
equipment in a hazardous area and is the responsibility of the installer.
If in doubt, consult a qualified official before wiring the system. See
some wiring considerations below.
 If the 4–20 mA signal is not used, connect a jumper between the
4–20 mA terminal and the common terminal.
 The use of shielded cable is highly recommended for signal, input,
output, and power wires to protect against interference caused by
extraneous electrical or electromagnetic noise.
 In applications where the wiring cable is installed in conduit, the
conduit must not be used for wiring to other electrical equipment.
 The maximum distance between sensor and controller is limited
by the resistance of the connecting wiring, which is a function of
the gauge wire being used. See Appendix B: Resistance table.
 When developing a RS-485 chain of devices, the last device in the
chain requires end of line termination.
 RS-485 connection 2-wire, multipoint serial line.
4.2 Seal
The use of seals is recommended to further protect the system against
any unwanted water ingression, and equipment should be installed
according to applicable local electrical codes and per the seal
manufacturers recommended guidelines. Seals are especially
recommended for installations that use high-pressure or steam
cleaning devices in proximity to the transmitter and/or sensor.
 Water-proof and explosion-proof conduit seals are recommended
to prevent water accumulation within the enclosure.
 Seals should be located as close to the device as possible and not
more than 18 inches (46 cm) away.
 Explosion-proof installations may require an additional seal where
conduit enters a non-hazardous area. Ensure conformity with local
wiring codes.
 When pouring a seal, use a fiber dam to ensure proper formation
of the seal. Seals should never be poured at temperatures below
freezing.
 The jacket and shielding of the cable should be stripped back to
permit the seal to form around the individual wires. This will
prevent air, gas, and water leakage through the inside of the
shield and into the enclosure.
 It is recommended that explosion-proof drains and conduit
breathers be used. In some applications, alternate changes in
temperature and barometric pressure can cause breathing which
allows moist air to enter and circulate inside the conduit. Joints in
the conduit system are seldom tight enough to prevent this
breathing. Connecting wires
 Use a small screwdriver to gently press down and hold the spring
connector open.
 Insert appropriate wire into open connector hole.
 Release screwdriver to secure wire.
Boards are susceptible to ESD. Refer to Appendix A: Electrostatic
sensitive device (ESD).
Figure 4-1 Securing wires

Operations Manual

4.3 Board assembly
There are three different user-allowed removable boards: relay board
(solid state or electromechanical), option board, and Modbus board.
These boards are field replaceable. Simply loosen the locking standoffs,
remove one board, insert the other board, and tighten screws.
Depending upon requirements, either an electromechanical or solid
state relay board module can be used.
4.4 Sensor and controller
Power to the unit must be OFF before wiring.
Also ensure area is de-classified before removing housing cover.
Note: The sensor may be factory installed to the controller. If so, you
need only connect the power terminals.
 Remove the controller’s housing cover.
 Connect the sensor to the sensor terminals (if necessary) and the
power terminals to power and output signal wires.
 Turn controller on (put On/Off Switch in On position).
 Replace controller’s housing cover. Apply power to unit.
 Ensure display reads Start Delay, status LED is red slow flash, and
current output displays 3.0 mA. This is the start-up delay
sequence which will last approximately 90 seconds.
Refer to Table 4-1 and Table 4-2 along with Figure 4-3 for wiring.

4.4.1 Relay board
Refer to Figure 4-2 Millennium module boards for relay board
location and termination.
4.4.2 RS-485 communication
Connect devices in a chain via the Modbus terminals. The last device in
the chain requires end of line termination. Refer to Modbus
termination.
4.5 Sensor separation
Since the sensor must be located where gas is likely to accumulate and
the controller where it can be easily reached, it is often necessary to
separate the controller and sensor. This is done with the aid of the
sensor separation kit. The sensor separation kit is composed of a Net
Safety Multi-Purpose Junction Box and terminal strip. For terminal
definitions refer to the Multi-Purpose Junction Box manual (MAN-0081).
Shielded copper instrument wire (minimum 18 AWG) should be used
for separations up to 75 feet. Shielded copper instrument wire
(minimum 16 AWG) should be used for separations up to 150 feet.
Factory default for sensor separation is 0–75 feet.
The actual physical distance between the sensor and controller must be
defined. See confirms the selection.
Extend sensor separation for instructions on setting the sensor
separation distance.
If the 4–20 mA signal is not being used, connect a jumper between the
4–20 mA terminal and the COM terminal on the terminal board.
4.6 Current output
To set the current output, simply move the jumper located on the
terminal board near the power terminals, to the isolated or non-
isolated current position. Refer to Figure 4-4.
Figure 4-3 Wiring - controller and sensor

Operations Manual

Unless otherwise specified, all models ship with this jumper in the non-
isolated current position (Pin 2 and Pin 3 jumpered). Refer to
Figure 4-4.
4.7 Non-isolated and isolated
power configurations
For current source using non-Isolated configuration, the jumper must
remain in the default position (Pin 2 and Pin 3 jumpered). The jumper is
placed over Pin1 and Pin 2 for current sink using non-isolated
configuration.
For Isolated configuration using a separate power supply to isolate the
current loop, the jumper must be placed over Pin 1 and Pin 2 for source
and sink. See Figure 4-4 and Figure 4-5.
Note the jumper position for each configuration.
Figure 4-5 Current source and sink drawing
4.8 Remote reset
If the Millennium relays are set for latching, a remote reset can be done
to reset the relays. This is done with a normally open push button
switch connected between the RST and COM terminals on the terminal
board. See Figure 4-6.
