Setting up a pre calibrated Transmitter
(Cell replacement)
New sensors are supplied ready to connect to the system with all jumpers
inserted. This procedure shows how to recalibrate as part of a routine
maintenance or cell replacement.
1. If bench testing the PCB see section B3
2. Using a digital mV meter measure across test pins TP2/3 and
adjust Zero pot RV2 until LED D9 goes green for 4mA (zero) = 4mV
(sensor bridge zero) see B9
3. Apply a known test gas to the sensor (e.g. 100ppm CO) for 1
minute at a flow rate of 1 litre to give a 13mA = 11mV across test
pins TP2/3, adjust gain pot RV4 for correct mV reading.
Power supply
15 to 30Vdc 24v nominal

Requires USB A to USB micro B cable

GDS Terminal (download from GDS website)
Setting up a new transmitter utilising
GDS Terminal (download from GDS website)
1. Insert jumpers J10 and J9 position SO for 4-20mA source
output.
2. Connect sensor to J14 terminal W-white Y-yellow P-pink.
3. For bench setup only – connect 24V + and 0V to J2, connect
jumper to J1 (4~20mA output test load) remove after set up.
4. Rotate Gain pot fully anti-clockwise (minimum span.)
5. When in clean air the sensor bridge is zeroed by adjusting
zero pot until LED D9 is Green.
6. Connect PC to sensor via GDS terminal using USB-A to USB
Micro-B cable at 4800 baud connected to J11. The terminal
output screen shows continuous data output/ commands and
allows input from the PC keyboard.
7. Select COM Port – Note each new sensor connected to
requires a new COM Port to be connected to.
8. Press ‘Space Bar’ loads sensor information. Ensure jumper J17
is fitted before programming. Press (C) to enter Calibration
Mode, and Press ($) to initialize the sensor.
To update firmware contact GDS.
Press W to set 4-20mA parameters, use (L) and (H) to adjust
4mA, Press ‘Space’ to set, use (L) and (H) to adjust the 20mA,
press ‘Space’ to set.
9. Then press (Z) on the PC to zero the reading.
10. Apply a known test gas to the sensor (e.g. 100ppm CO) for
1 minute at a flow rate of 1 litre to give (e.g 12mV = 12mA)
across test pins TP2/3, adjust gain pot for correct mV reading.
11. When using a PC press (S) to enter span mode and using (H)
or (L) adjust the reading. Note – This adjusts the mA reading on
TP2/3 when adjusted.
12. Press (space) to exit span and then (X) to exit the calibration
mode.
13. Connect the sensor to a Combi alarm panel and ensure that it
reports in correctly. Note: Fit the end of line (EOL) link J3 if the
sensor is to be installed at the end of the sensor cable.
14. If the sensor is fitted with a display – adjust the contrast using
‘VR1’ pot.
15. Remove J1 test link for normal operation, (this does not need to
be removed when used as an Addressable sensor)
16. Ensure J17 address link is removed (this is only used when
changing address from the alarm panel).
17. On completion and when used as an addressable sensor,
future calibrations may be carried out at the Combi alarm
panel.
NOTE: Oxygen cells only use the P+ and Y terminals J14.
To adjust for the ‘Zero’ it is normal practice to disconnect the green
connector on J14 and adjust the Zero pot until LED D9 is green and
4mA across TP2/TP3. When the cell is reconnected in air at 20.9%Vol
oxygen the span can be adjusted for 17.4mA reading across the same
test pins using the gain pot.
If an LCD option is fitted then calibration and other settings using
magnets instead of a PC can be achieved. See over.

Using magnets or push buttons (set up)
continued
Removing both magnets as instructed on the LCD presents the first part of
this multi menu which is ZERO. With no gas present use the left magnet
to increase the reading and the right magnet to decrease to achieve a
zero reading on the display. A timer is displayed on the LCD and when
this reaches 0, the next menu is displayed. This timer is 15 seconds
approximately and is reset back each time a magnet is near, timeout can
be speeded up by placing a magnet near to the centre position.
SPAN is the next part of the menu and gas should be applied to the sensor
at this time.
The left magnet increases the gain and the right magnet reduces gain.
The actual sensor value can be seen on the display to rise or fall respectively.
LOW ALARM is the next menu and left and right magnets increase and
decrease this value.
HIGH ALARM is next followed by OVER RANGE alarm.
The direction of the alarms is displayed as ^ for rising and v for falling but
these can be changed using left and right magnets together.
Using magnets or push buttons (set up)
The Combi sensors which have an LCD display fitted also incorporate 3 reed
switches which can be activated using external magnets through the glass
window of the flameproof XDIwin enclosure. These magnets do not
act instantly and have to be in close proximity to L, M and R on
the front display for a few seconds to activate a software setup
function.
The left magnet enters the Auto zero ON or OFF menu.
This allows small drift changes in the sensor to be compensated for but is
not operational when the sensor readings are greater than 5% of full scale.
Therefore auto zero is inactive when a larger gas reading is present. When the
remove magnets message appears, move the left magnet away and then the
display shows if auto zero is ON or OFF. The left magnet puts auto zero ON
and the right magnet turns it OFF. With no magnets present, the display will
return to normal after a few seconds timeout.
The right magnet allows the CAN address of the sensor to be changed.
When the ADDRESS menu is displayed with a prompt to remove the magnet,
and then the display shows the address and that the right magnet decreases it
whilst the left magnet will increase it. This is then stored in internal non volatile
memory and the display will automatically revert to normal operation.
The centre magnet is used to inhibit the sensor. As with the left and right
magnet functions the display requests that you remove the magnet and then
the state of the inhibit appears on the LCD. The left magnet then puts the sensor
into inhibit whilst the right magnet removes it. An amber LED on the front panel
under the LCD flashes when the sensor is inhibited. When all magnets are
removed, the display will revert to normal operation.
The left and right magnets together allow the calibration menu to
be used.

An example of continuous data output to the PC from a Flammable
sensor is shown below and is the format for all gas types.

under the OHLthe ^ ^ v represent the direction of the alarms. Lis falling
and Hand Oare rising. A(*) under the letter(s) OHLDFI represents a
detected state so in this example the sensor would be in high alarm and
a fault present.
‘Gas val 35.6’ represents the value of the gas present at the sensor head.
Pressing (R) on the PC causes a reset to occur. Gas type with address
and serial number are then output to the PC together with alarms and
calibration date. A full command list via PC is available by pressing the
letter (P) which will relist on the PC.
