EMC Considerations
Your Honeywell Analytics monitor has been designed
tocomplywithapplicableElectromagneticCompatibility
(EMC)standards atthetimeofmanufacture.Thedesign
includes filtering, shielding and bypassing techniques.
At the time of certification, simulated customer Input/
Output (I/O) schemes were tested.
All methods used in your equipment for emission
suppression and reduction of susceptibility are
interactive.Modificationsto the instrumentcouldresult
inincreasedemissionsand higher vulnerabilitytoother
radiated fields.
Following the guidelines in this EMC Considerations
section will ensure your instrument maintains the
highest degree of EMC integrity.The guidelines listed
apply only to I/O emissions and do not apply to A.C.
and D.C. instrument power connections.
Cabling
At a very minimum, all cables should include a braided
shield. Ideal results have been obtained with twisted
pair cabling which has a foil shield surrounding each
pairplus foiland90% braidshieldingaroundthebundle.
In addition, ensure local electrical code requirements
are met.
The following cable parameters must be considered:
Braid Must have a minimum 90% coverage
Foil When used with braid, provides 100% coverage
Do not use foil alone.It has a tendency to break.
Twisted Pair Provides for cancelling of magnetic fields
Stranded Pair Provides the greatest surface area
Shield
Termination
Continuation of the shield to the cabinet earth
ground is most important. For discrete wire
terminations, pigtails to the cabinet (connector)
ground should be extremely short (absolutely no
greater than three inches). For multiconductor
connector terminations, only 360° shielded
shells should be used.
Note:
Honeywell Analytics product testing uses >90% braid
with foil (around the bundle);twisted pair;stranded 24
AWG (minimum wiring for all qualification and certifi-
cation testing.)
Connectors
Allqualificationandcertificationof HoneywellAnalytics
products were achieved with high quality connectors,
providing 360° shield coverage. These connectors
generally had metal shells.
Failure to properly secure the connector to the
equipment will result in high emission levels. Also,
poorlyconstructedorimproperlyassembledconnectors
can be a high source of radiated noise and provide a
path for external signals into the monitor.

1 Introduction

Vertex MTM 24-Point Continuous Monitor
Section 1 - Introduction 1-2
1.1 System Overview
The Honeywell Analytics Vertex M™ System
continuously monitors up to 24 remote locations
for toxic gases. It responds to gases that exceed
programmed levels by:
• Triggering alarms and opening event windows
to warn operators of high or low concentrations
• Triggering relays to external devices
• Displaying the location, gas type and gas
concentration
• Storing the alarm information in a database
TheVertex M System provides fast response to a wide
range of gases. Each location may be up to 400 ft
(122 m) from the Vertex M System.The system uses
one or more of Honeywell Analytics’ Chemcassette®
analyzers, with or without pyrolyzer, to provide a
monitoring system tailored to meet the requirements
of the facility.
TheVertexMSystemincorporatesarangeofredundant
and protective features for maximum uptime:
• Intelligent analyzer modules allow one to stop
monitoring with no effect on the remaining
modules
• Power supplies are redundant
• Pumps are redundant
• The system powers up in the same state as
when powered down
• Filters, Chemcassettes®and major
components in one of the analyzers can
be replaced while the remaining analyzers
continue to function
Operation can be through an LCD touch screen or
through a local area network (LAN).
Chemcassette®is a registered trademark of Honeywell Analytics, Inc.

1.4 Analyzer Modules
The Vertex M System is populated with one or more
types of analyzer modules. Each system may contain
Chemcassette®modules or Pyrolyzer modules.
Modules are installed in slots.
Tier 1 CC CC CC
PYRO
Slot 1 Slot 2 Slot 3
Table 1-1. Module Tier Structure
Chemcassette®modules occupy one slot each.
However,Pyrolyzer Chemcassette®modules are to be
installed in slots 1 and 2. Pyrolyzer configuration and
status information will appear in slot 2.

Examples of possible combinations in a Vertex M
System:
•One, Two or Three Chemcassette®modules
• One Pyrolyzer Chemcassette®module
• One pyrolyzer Chemcassette®module, one
Chemcassette®module
Your monitor will include only those modules specified
at time of ordering.
1.5 Sampling System
Each Analyzer module is a monitoring center for
sampling lines from sample locations.As they apply to
theVertexM System, the wordspoint,lineandlocation
require definition:
• A location is a place to be monitored
• Sample atmosphere runs from the location to
the Vertex M System via a line
• Each of the 24 sample tubing connections on
the Vertex M System corresponds to a point.
A sample line can be connected directly to
a single point or multiple points via a 4-port
manifold
Thesystemdrawsair simultaneouslyfrom alllocations.
Two different types of flow are:
• Transport flow: high-velocity, large-volume air
movement through the lines
• Sample flow: air admitted to the
Chemcassette®detection system
The high speed of transport flow allows rapid
monitoring and response time when using long lines
from monitored locations to the Vertex M System. A
small portion of the transport flow (sample flow) is
analyzed to determine concentration levels.
Thecomplete samplingandmonitoringsystemconsists
of the following components:
• Sample lines to all monitored locations
• Flow connections through quick-connect ports
in bulkheads on top of unit
• Moving cable and connectors
• Vacuum pumps
• Analyzers incorporating manifolds,
Chemcassette®and filters
• Flow controlling proportional valve
