1. Introduction
The Midas®gas detector is an extractive gas sampling system that draws a sample locally
or from a remote point to a sensor cartridge that is located inside the detector’s chassis. A
wide range of toxic, flammable and oxygen gas sensor cartridges are available that enable
detection of gases used or generated in the Semiconductor and other manufacturing
industries.
The Midas®gas detector (MIDAS-T-001) is comprised of 4 main parts: the main chassis, the
mounting bracket assembly, the sensor cartridge and the unit cover. Diagram 1 details the
Midas®general arrangement. Additionally there are optional Pyrolyzer modules required
for the detection of NF3and PFCs and an optional LonWorks®interface is available.
This Quick Start Guide provides basic installation, setup and operation information for the
main detector unit. For more detailed information on other features and options, please
refer to the Midas®Operating Manual part number MIDAS-A-001.

2. Mounting Details
The Midas®gas detector has an integral mounting bracket assembly that is easily mounted
to a suitable vertical surface such as a wall, tool housing, mounting plate on a pole etc.

Note
When reproducing this diagram, be sure to check dimensional
accuracy before drilling.

2. Mounting Details (cont’d)
The following steps and diagrams show how to separate the mounting bracket
assembly from the main chassis and mount it on a vertical flat surface.
Unscrew the thumbscrew located on the front panel.
Remove the cover by pulling it forwards off the main chassis. On new Midas®
units, be sure to remove the internal packing card securing the pump. Failure
to remove this packing will result in damage to the Midas®unit. (See diagram
below)
Unscrew the two retaining screws located at the bottom front of the chassis.
Holding the mounting bracket assembly with one hand use the other to
carefully pull the main chassis forward to disconnect it from the mounting
bracket assembly.
Using the drill template provided drill two holes 2.3 in (58.50mm) vertically apart
for 2 x round head M4 screws.
Partially screw the fixings into the mounting surface.
Place the mounting bracket assembly over the screws so they pass through the
mounting holes and then slide down to locate in the slots.
Tighten the screws to secure the mounting bracket assembly.

3. Electrical Installation
Access for the electrical wires to the terminal module is made via the PG16 cable
gland located at the bottom of the mounting bracket assembly. The cable gland can be
removed and replaced with a suitable conduit fitting if required. The wire routing of a
typical installation is shown in the diagram below.

The terminals used are suitable for conductors of 24 to 14 AWG (0.5 to 1.8mm Dia.).
The use of 16 AWG (1.5 mm Dia.) conductors is recommended.
If Power over Ethernet (PoE) is used to power the device, then 24 VDC power must not
also be connected to the device, (or conversely if 24 VDC is used to power the Midas®,
then electrical power via the Ethernet port must not be applied). Failure to observe this
requirement may cause damage to the gas detection system and will not be covered by
the standard warranty.
When connecting the wires ensure that the power switch is in the off position.

4. Retting the Main Chassis
The main chassis can be refitted to the mounting bracket assembly using the following
steps.
Align the PCB at the top rear of the main chassis with the connector located at
the top of the mounting bracket assembly
At the same time align the two tubes at the bottom rear of the main chassis
with the two tubes located on the bottom of the mounting bracket assembly.
Slide the chassis backwards on the mounting bracket assembly so that the
PCB and connector and tubes engage simultaneously. (See diagram below).
Ensure the PCB, connector and tubes are fully engaged by firmly pushing the
main chassis horizontally backward on the mounting bracket assembly
(WARNING: DO NOT PUSH ON THE LCD AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE).
Align the two fixing screws located at the bottom of the chassis with the screw
threads on the mounting bracket assembly.
Tighten the screws to secure the chassis to the mounting bracket assembly.

5. Installing the Sensor Cartridge
The Midas®sensor cartridge is supplied separately and needs to be fitted to the
detector’s main chassis. The following steps and diagrams detail the procedure for
installing the sensor cartridge for the first time. This procedure is carried out with the
power off and the detector cover removed.
Verify the part number and type of sensor cartridge is correct for your
application, then remove sensor cartridge from packaging.
Remove cap from cartridge.
Add label for secondary gases (if necessary).
Align pins at the top of the sensor cartridge with the socket in the sensor
cartridge chamber.
Carefully push the sensor cartridge into the sensor cartridge chamber until fully
seated.
Lock the sensor cartridge in place using the tabs on either side of the sensor
cartridge to secure the cartridge to the main chassis.
Switch the power switch on the terminal module to the ‘on’ position.
Reattach the detector cover by aligning the slots on either side with the locating
tabs on the mounting bracket assembly.
Push the cover horizontally until fully seated.
Tighten the thumbscrew on the front panel.
Diagram 6. Installing the sensor cartridge
Note:
In a rst-time start up, an F49 or F88 fault code may be displayed; there is no actual fault and the fault
message can be cleared by depressing the ‘X’ button for a few seconds.
To properly activate the Midas® with a cartridge for the rst time:
When “ChAngE gAS” or “FIrSt CELL” scrolls on the display, hit the ‘✓’ on the Midas® front
panel.
When the “reboot” completes then press and hold the “X” to clear any latched fault(s).
Conrm that the green LED is ashing.
Conrm that the yellow and red LEDs are off.
Conrm the display shows a concentration of zero (as appropriate).
The cartridge has now been accepted by the Midas® as the correct type.
If the above steps were not performed at initial start-up, then remove the cartridge and cycle power. Once the
Midas® has completed the “reboot” process, install the cartridge to be used and repeat the steps above.
