Introduction
The 301C controllers act as nerve centers for gas detection networks,
providing continuous monitoring for up to 96 connected units (plus 1
301ADI). Once installed and connected, the controllers allow the user
to monitor, adjust, or reconfigure an entire network of units.
Intended Use
The controller is intended to monitor an entire gas detection network
around the clock. The unit offers logging capabilities, creating log files
of all transmitter concentrations and alarms for analysis. The unit is
also equipped with grouping or zoning capabilities that allow users to
query and monitor specific groups of transmitters or specific
transmitter zones.
Receiving and Unpacking
Upon receiving the controller unit:
• Check that the package is undamaged
• Carefully open the package.
• Locate the packing slip or purchase order and verify that all items on
the order are present and undamaged
Note: If the package or any of its contents are damaged, please refer
to the Warranty section at the back of the manual for instructions.

Installation Instructions
Basic Guidelines
For proper operation of the controller, follow the instructions in this
manual carefully.
• Locate all units in areas easily accessible for service.
• Avoid locations where instruments are subject to vibrations
• Avoid locating units near sources of electromagnetic interference
• Avoid locating units in areas subject to significant temperature swings
Verify local requirements and existing codes that may impact choice
of location.
10

Surface Mount Installation
It is recommended that controllers be installed 5 feet (1.5 m) above the
floor, at approximate eye level.
Mark the holes as shown:
•Height markers 6 13/32” (16.3 cm) apart
•Width markers 10 9/16” (26.8 cm) apart
•Pre-drill 1/4” mounting holes as needed
•Securely mount the 301C using the appropriate screws
Wiring for the unit must be passed through the knock-outs provided at
the bottom of the unit.
11

Wiring Details
The diagram below provides the details required to connect the 301C
controller with power, transmitters, external relay loads, and BACnet.
Details concerning power supply, cables, capacities, etc., are provided
in the Specifications section at the back of this manual.
12

J22 Power Input: Connect the power supply to the controller
(see Wiring Details for cabling diagrams)
J23, J24 Communi-
cation inputs: Connect communication cables to channels 1
through 3.
Relay Outputs 1-4: Depending on the desired configuration,
connect the relay cables to either N.O. or N.C.
Relays 1 and 2 are commandable by either
internal events or by BACnet; relays 3 and 4
are driven only by internal events.
SHDN jumper Place the jumper over the Shutdown header
pins to reset or restart the system.
EOL Resistors 1-4: Place the jumper over the header pins to
include resistors to attenuate communication
echoes.
Power Connections
The 301C requires a power range of 17-27 Vac, 50/60 Hz (8.64 VA),
18-36 Vdc, 350 mA @24 Vdc (8.4 VA). Polarization is not important in
either AC or DC mode. The system must be grounded on the
transformer and a dedicated circuit breaker must be used.
Communication Connections
Communication cables must be grounded using the shield terminal,
using twisted and shielded pair Belden 2-24 AWG #9841 cable (or
equivalent).
The network cabling can extend up to a limit of 2000 feet (609 m) per
channel.
The length of a T-tap can reach 65 feet (20 m), up to a maximum of
130 feet (40 m) for all T-taps.
The 301C controller communicates with gas sensors over a Modbus
RS-485 network. This transmission line requires that 120Ω termination
resistors be fitted at both ends of each network segment to absorb the
13

signal and thus prevent reflections. Fortunately, the controller makes
network termination simple as resistors are included on the board.
These can be switched in and out of network by moving the “EOL”
jumpers as shown in the figure on page 12. More information on RS-
485 wiring is published by Maxim Integrated in the TUTORIAL 763
Guidelines for Proper Wiring of an RS-485 (TIA/EIA-485-A) Network .
Settings for Specific Transmitters
Honeywell Sensepoint XCD Transmitters must be configured for 9600
baud, no parity, and a unique address. Honeywell XNX Universal
Transmitters must be configured for 9600 baud and a unique address.
Information on configuring each transmitter is in the associated
technical manual.
Some sensors consume multiple addresses on the 301C. Specifically,
the 301EM consumes 4 addresses regardless of the number of
sensors connected. Additionally, the IAQPoint2 consumes 3
addresses if fitted with the optional temperature / humidity sensor.
Please allocate proper address spacing for applications utilizing a
mixture of sensors on a single system.
Relay Output
The relay output can withstand up to 5A at 30Vdc or 250Vac resistive
load. Relays can be used to activate horns and strobes. Although
each relay is programmed with a default setting (below), they can be
configured using the controller programming menu.
By default, the relays are normally de-energized and will go energized
when events occur. However the relays can be configured for
“failsafe” or normally-energized. If so, events will drive them to de-
energized.
14

If relays are set to normally closed, the relay is powered up with the
controller and the device linked to the relay is functioning. The relay
will shut down when the associated event is activated.
If the relay is set to normally open, the relay will remain off when the
controller is powered up and the device connected to the relay will only
be activated when the associated event is activated.
15

Jumper Use Instructions
The jumpers on the controller PCB allow a variety of operations to be
performed manually:
EOL 1-4: Enables the user to add End-Of-Line jumpers that improve
communication signals. Put the jumper in R position (as
shown on wiring diagram) to activate the End-of-Line
termination. (R provides a resistance termination and RC
provides resistance and condensator termination.)
SHDN: Enables the microcontroller to be reset or temporarily shut
down. This function is used mainly when system wiring
adjustments are needed (power off for safety).
CAUTION Power may still be present on the relay terminals even after
powering off.
Relays These jumpers allow the relay to be tested by activating it
J29-J32 without having any effect on Events.
16

Initial Startup
Make sure that all wiring has been completed according to
specifications in the wiring details before powering up the unit. When
all is secure, remove the SHDN jumper to power-up the unit. Within
sixty seconds the controller will be fully operational.
Datalogger (SD card)
The DLC (Data Logger Card) option for the controller collects data and
stores it on a digital Flash memory card (SDCard). In the event that
the card memory becomes full:
•Information logging is stopped
•No SDcard flag is displayed on-screen
•The SDcard LED blinks
See the Acquisition section for more details on starting and stopping
the datalogging function. SDHC cards are not supported; use only SD
cards.
CAUTION Always deactivate datalogging function before removing the
SDcard. Never remove the card when its LED is on.
17

Programming Interface
The front panel of the 301C provides a programming keypad (buttons)
and LEDs.
301C front panel keypad:
Keypad Functions
Each unit has 7 keypad keys, or buttons:
Arrows: Used to move the cursor through the various programming
fields (Up, Down, Left and Right), or to adjust the display
contrast (press and hold the up or down arrow until desired
contrast is reached and release).
ESC: Used to exit the programming menu or to cancel a change
or input.
Enter: Used to access the programming menu and to modify
programming fields.
Silence: Turns off the controller’s buzzer.
18

LED Definitions
The controller is equipped with 7 LEDs that provide a status for each
function related to that indicator:
Alarm A: A blinking red light indicates that an event has been
activated. A constant red light indicates that one or more
transmitters has reached Alarm A or Alarm 1.
Alarm B When the red indicator is on, one or more transmitters has
reached Alarm B or Alarm 2.
Alarm C When the red indicator is on, one or more transmitters has
reached Alarm C.
Power: Green indicates that the unit is powered up and functional
Fault: When the amber LED is on, it indicates a fault (i.e. a
communication, maintenance or device problem)
Tx: When the amber LED is blinking, it indicates that the
controller is sending information or requests on the
communication channel.
Rx: When the green LED is blinking, it indicates that the
controller is receiving information.
Each of these functions is linked to parameters programmed in the
control unit, which we will discuss in the following section.
System Operation
The system operates in four different modes that allow it to use,
analyze, debug, and simulate the actions that the system can perform.
These modes are: Normal, Single Tx, Debug and Simulate. The
default system operation mode is Normal. The other modes are
available through the Tests menu (option 8 from the Main Menu).
Note: Systems services may be disrupted by some menu operations.
Specifically, viewing the “events” dialogue may inhibit event
operation.
19

System Programming
The system’s Normal programming mode offers several menu options
that are accessible from the main menu screen:
1. Tx Info:
Allows transmitter parameters to be programmed
2. Groups:
Allows sets of multiple transmitters to be aggregated
for simpler programming of a common response.
3. Events:
Facilitates creation of logical terms which respond to
transmitters or events. These Boolean outputs can
respond to concentration, alarm, or fault status. These
events facilitate voting within a group and can drive
relay outputs.
4. Acqui:
Allows the datalogging feature to be activated or
deactivated
5. Copy:
Allows data or parameters to be copied from the
(controller) configuration to parameters
6. Config:
Allows system parameters and password to be set
7. Network:
Allows actions on the network to be performed,
communication statistics to be consulted, and remote
calibrations to be performed
8. Tests:
Allows each device to be tested sequentially (inputs,
outputs, communications, events, etc.) and operation
of various parameters to be validated
9. BACNet:
Allows a device’s BACNet parameters to be set
10. Wireless:
Not supported.
Note: Access to the programming functions is password protected.
The default password is 2967.
The screen display shown below appears initially. This display can be
configured to scroll among the information screens for each device
connected to the controller.
If one or more of the connected devices is in an alarm mode, the
controller will only scroll between the main information screen and the
screens for device(s) in alarm mode. In this case, you must scroll
manually to view screens for other devices.
