E3Point Remote Gas Sensor User Manual 1
Introduction
Description
The E3Point Remote Sensor is a toxic or combustible gas detection
sensor that is compatible with the E3Point Standalone sensor or with
the features offered in certain controller type products, such as the
301C. It provides continuous monitoring for one of the following gases
in ambient air: CO, H2S, O2, NO2, and combustible hazards.
The E3Point is designed to be mounted on an extra wide (2 3/8”)
electrical box.
The E3Point Remote Sensor is intended for use exclusively with the
E3Point Standalone unit. No other uses are supported by Honeywell
Analytics.
Safety Information
Users of the E3Point Remote Sensor require a full understanding of
the installation, operating, and maintenance instructions, otherwise
protection provided by the monitor may be impaired. Read the
following warnings before using the monitor.
!
WARNING:
Install according to local electrical regulations and codes.•
Installationshouldbeperformedbyqualiedpersonnel.•
Do not paint over the sensor screen.•
Ensure the sensor screen is free of dirt and debris.•
Ensure the sensor screen is not covered.•
Do not expose the monitor to electrical shock and/or continuous•
mechanical shock.
Do not expose the sensor to high pressure water spray.•
Do not use the monitor if it is damaged. Before use inspect the•
monitor. Look for cracks, missing metals, or plastics. If the monitor
is damaged, contact Honeywell Analytics immediately.
The warranty will be voided if the customer or any unauthorized•
service personnel attempts to repair the unit.

Installation
Sensor Locations
2 E3Point Remote Gas Sensor User Manual
Installation
Sensor Locations
The following suggestions should be considered to assure detection
of the target gas. Select the most suitable location for each sensor.
Air Currents: If there are fans, wind, or other sources of air
movement, gases may tend to rise or collect in certain areas of a
facility. The local air currents should be assessed to aid in selecting
the sensor location. Air convection can often be more important in
determining gas concentration areas than factors of Vapor Density.
Gas Emission Sources: As a rule, at least one sensor should be
located in close proximity to each point where an emission is likely to
occur.
!
Caution: Because each sensor can only “report” what it is
detecting at the moment, it is very important that the sensor be located
where leaks are most likely to occur.

Installation Height
Installation Height
Detected Gas Relative
Density Installation Height
(air = 1)
CO Carbon monoxide 0.968 1–1.5 m (3–5 ft.) from floor
H2S Hydrogen sulfide 1.19 30 cm (1 ft.) from floor
*NO2Nitrogen dioxide 1.58 (cold) 30 cm–1 m (1–3 ft.) from ceiling
O2Oxygen 1.43 1–1.5 m (3–5 ft.) from floor
COMB Most combustibles are heavier than air, with the exception of methane,
hydrogen, ethylene and acetylene. Sensors for gases that are heavier
than air should be installed approximately 30 cm (1 ft) from the floor.
For combustibles that are lighter than air, sensors should be installed
30 cm (1 ft) from the ceiling, close to the potential leak source.
* May differ in certain applications. Hot NO2from exhaust systems is
lighter than ambient air.
!
WARNING: Some materials such as, but not limited to, tetraethyl lead,
silicones, some sulfur, phosphorus, and chlorinated compounds may
have a poisoning effect resulting in a loss of sensitivity.

Installation
Mounting
4 E3Point Remote Gas Sensor User Manual
Mounting
The E3Point Remote Sensor is designed to be mounted in an extra
wide (2 3/8”) electrical box (not supplied) in the same way as a
faceplate. Suggested electrical boxes include T&B BC1110, Hubbell
1110, OZ-Gedney 18112, Appleton 18112, Bowers 10612-BW, or
Steel City 68371-12.
It does not fit on 4x4” steel boxes with a single gang mud ring, such
as T&B 52CO or 52C13.
Run the wires through the electrical box and connect to the•
remote sensor (as indicated in Figure 2).
Press the sensor (2) into the faceplate (1) and close and press•
the back cover (3) into the faceplate.You should hear a click.
Securely mount the unit to the extra wide electrical box (4) using•
the appropriate screws (5).

Figure 2. Connecting Main Sensor to Remote
The OUT1 and OUT2 connectors on the remote sensor’s
terminal are not used. DO NOT connect any wires to these
locations.
Wire: Signal wiring should be done with #20-24 AWG shielded
twisted pair cable Belden 9841 or similar. Network units should have
no more than 2,000 ft (600 m) of #22 AWG wire. Smaller gauge sizes
are limited by the same resistance limit. The LED on the faceplate
blinks to indicate communication with the main unit.

Sensor Overload
Sensor overload occurs whenever the gas concentration reading•
is higher than the full scale value, no matter how high the gas
concentration is.
Overload Warning state is latched when true. It stays activated•
indefinitely and independent of gas concentration reading.
