2.1 Display
The TG5000 utilizes an Organic LED (OLED) display which is capable of being seen from a
distance of up to 50 ft (15 m) depending on conditions. The OLED display provides clear and
crisp information in a variety of languages. The gas reading gauge, which wraps around the live
reading area, mimics the reading as a percent of full scale and is also used as a progress bar
during operations which require a countdown.
Fig. 1 OLED Display
In addition to the OLED display, the TG5000 also employs green, yellow and red LEDs on the side
and lower middle of its face. These are used to signal normal operating conditions, fault conditions
and alarm conditions.
The TG5000 will go into “Eco-Mode” after 3 minutes of no interaction and if not in an alarm
condition. While in Eco-Mode, the main display will power down and the status LED's will remain
illuminated to determine that the device is not in an alarm condition. The OLED display can be
powered up by touching either of the two EZ touch buttons on the front display.
US

Description
2.2 No Tool Interface
The TG5000 does not require any tools or third-party devices to change settings, reset alarms or
perform any maintenance feature. The EZ touch buttons work through the label and do not require
opening the general-purpose enclosure. The EZ touch buttons work with bare fingers or with
gloved hands, so long as the gloves are not black. The down arrow is used for scrolling, while
the right arrow is used for selecting options. See section 4 for more information on navigating the
menu with the EZ touch buttons.
Fig. 2 TG5000 Interface
2.3 Bluetooth
®
Wireless Technology
The TG5000 can be ordered with Bluetooth communication. Using the X/S Connect App on an
appropriate smart phone or tablet, you are able to interface with the TG5000 in a larger and more
user friendly setting. Connecting via Bluetooth enables communication with transmitter up to 70
feet (21 m) away.
WARNING!
Bluetooth Operation is dependent upon signal availability of the wireless service(s) necessary to
maintain the communication link. Loss of wireless signal will prevent communication of alarms and
other information to linked devices. Take appropriate precautions in the event a loss of wireless
signal occurs.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.
If the device was not ordered with Bluetooth it cannot be upgraded.
If ordered with Bluetooth, the device will be shipped with Bluetooth enabled. See
section 4 for instructions on disabling Bluetooth.
The TG5000 and user provided communication device will need to be paired. This requires both
devices to be in range and for a pairing sequence inputting a 6-digit pairing code. The instructions
will be displayed on both the TG5000 and communication device.
There are communication devices capable of being used in classified areas. Please
contact your MSA representative for additional information.
2.4 Dual Sensing
The TG5000 is capable of communicating with and displaying information for two sensors at a
time. There are no restrictions to the type of sensors connected to the device.
The TG5000 Gas Monitor generates two discrete analog outputs; one for each sensor connected
to the transmitter. The analog output associated with Sensor 1 also has the digital HART
(Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) communication superimposed on the analog signal.
If two sensors are connected, the digital HART communication carries information for both
sensors.

Description
2.5 XCell Sensors Optimized for Fixed Gas Applications
XCell toxic and combustible cat bead sensors are developed and manufactured by MSA. Now
optimized for fixed gas applications, the XCell sensor platform is available in the TG5000 and
provides multiple benefits, including a standard 3-year warranty on all XCell sensors.
One important optimization for fixed gas was incorporating the GM catalytic bead into the XCell
sensor.
The XCell Oxygen sensor does not use lead, but rather a non-consuming reaction chemistry. The
XCell Oxygen sensor is expected to last well over 3-years and can be safely stored on the shelf
for at least 1 year without sensor performance degradation.
2.6 TruCal Sensing Technology for CO and H
2
S Electrochemical Sensors
Using patented pulse check technology and proprietary Adaptive Environmental Compensation
(AEC) algorithms, all XCell sensors with TruCal verify operation by actively adjusting the sensor
output for changes in sensitivity. Some XCell sensors with TruCal also include Diffusion Supervi-
sion, which monitors the sensor inlet for obstructions that could prevent gas from reaching the
sensor.
Every six hours, an electrical pulse stimulates the XCell sensor similar to having actual calibration
gas applied, providing a snapshot of the sensor’s sensitivity at the time of the pulse. Using this
sensitivity snapshot, the sensor can diagnose sensor failures like electrode poisoning, electrolyte
leaking, or electrical connectivity issues.
AEC uses the sensitivity snapshots provided by the pulse check to adjust sensor output, compen-
sating for environmental impacts on sensor accuracy. If the AEC adjustment is greater than
expected based on typical environmental impact variations, the transmitter LED’s will slowly flash
GREEN, alerting users that the sensor should be calibrated to reset the AEC cycle. Users can also
enable a Calibration Alert function that will send a milli-amp signal on the analog output to the
control room. The result is a sensor that actively self-monitors for operation and accuracy, with far
fewer manual calibrations.
Diffusion supervision actively monitors the sensor inlet for obstructions. If an obstruction is
detected, the sensor will go into a fault mode to alert users and the control room that it is not seeing
gas due to an obstruction. Objects residing directly on or in the sensor inlet that result in a signif-
icant impact to the gas path are very likely to be detected by Diffusion Supervision. Examples
include paint, tape, water, and dirt. Small amounts of these materials can be visible on the inlet
while not impacting the gas path enough to trigger a Diffusion Supervision Fault. A fault signal will
only be sent out when the system determines that the amount of material that has accumulated
on or inside the sensor inlet is negatively affecting the gas path.
Actual TruCal sensor performance will depend on the application, background gas exposure, and
environment. To validate XCell sensors with TruCal, it is recommended that users follow their
regular calibration cycle and record the “as found” and “as left” values. This data can be used to
extend the time between calibrations depending on the required specification of the application.

Description
2.7 SafeSwap
The TG5000 comes with patented SafeSwap technology, which allows users to change or replace
XCell sensors without needing to power down the instrument. For added convenience, the TG5000
comes with Swap Delay enabled by default; a feature that gives users a 2-minute window to change
sensors without triggering a fault condition. For more information on SafeSwap and Swap Delay,
see section 4.2.1.

3.3 Mounting
WARNING!
Some toxic gases are provided in a fritless remote sensor housing. The fritless remote sensor
housing is labeled as Div 2 or Zone 2 and is approved for Div 2 or Zone 2 installations only. The
protection method is Non-incendive or Type n respectively. Ensure all components are
approved for the wiring method being used and in accordance with the National Electrical Code
of the country of use, any applicable local regulations, this manual and the addendum to the
manual.
Failure to follow the above warnings can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.
3.3.1 Remote Sensor Mounting Location
The best location for the transmitter and the sensor may not be the same location. Sensors should
be placed in a location where a gas leak is most likely to be detected. When the best sensor place-
ment would not allow the transmitter display to be easily viewed or accessed, a remote junction
box can be used to mount the sensor remotely from the transmitter, allowing both to be installed
in the optimum location.
Two main factors should be considered when choosing a sensor location. The first is the density
of the target gas relative to the air. Gases, such as propane, that are heavier than air should be
placed near ground level while gases that are lighter than air should be placed above potential
leak sources.
Optimum sensor placement will depend on the surrounding processing equipment, such as pipes,
valves, or turbines. MSA offers a gas and flame mapping service that systematically evaluates
potential sources of leaks and recommends detector quantity and placement to create the most
effective detection system.
3.3.2 TG5000 Mounting Location
Mount the TG5000 with the front panel display at or slightly above eye level. View of display must
remain unobstructed.
US

16
Installation
3.3.3 Sensor Orientation
WARNING!
Mount the XIR PLUS with the sensor inlet fitting extended horizontally from the junction box
(Fig. 7) to prevent the build-up of particulate or liquid matter on the monitor's optical surfaces.
Mount the digital sensor with the sensor inlet fitting (Fig. 8) pointed downward; otherwise, the
inlet may become clogged with particulate matter or liquids.
Failure to follow the above warnings may result in serious personal injury or loss of life.
Sensor orientation will depend on the sensor type. When mounting an ULTIMA XIR PLUS
sensor via remote junction box, the sensor should be mounted horizontally. If the ULTIMA XIR
PLUS sensor is not mounted horizontally, the sensor will be prone to more frequent beam
blocking issues due to accumulated dust and condensation on the surface of the ULTIMA XIR
PLUS sensor. Fig. 7 shows the correct and incorrect mounting orientations for the ULTIMA XIR
PLUS.
Fig. 7 Correct and Incorrect Mounting Orientations for ULTIMA XIR PLUS Sensor
All other sensors including electrochemical, combustible catalytic bead, and oxygen sensors
should be mounted vertically, with the gas inlet pointed downward. If the sensor is not mounted
with the gas inlet facing down, it is more likely to become clogged with particulate matter or liquids.
Fig. 8 shows the correct and incorrect mounting orientation for digital sensors.

3.3.6 Installing a Remote Sensor Junction Box
Sensors mounted remotely must use either a XP or GP junction box. Only one sensor can be
connected to each junction box. The instructions for connecting the sensor to the TG5000 are
outlined in sections 3.3.4. The XP junction box is available in 316 Stainless Steel and the GP
junction is available in polycarbonate plastic.
Sensors can be remoted up to 328 ft (100 m) from the transmitter housing, as long as the
TG5000 transmitter is mounted within maximum distance from the power supply, see Ultima
X5000 Gas Monitor Manual (P/N 10177361) for wire lengths. The junction box does not have an
illuminated display and has two connectors: a single sensor input and an output connecting to
the transmitter. A 16 AWG (1.31mm2) 4 element cable with a braided shield should be used for
the electrical connection between the junction box and the TG5000 transmitter. Specific cable
recommendations are Alpha wire 3248 or equivalent.
The X5000 junction box must be used for remote XIR PLUS sensors. The use of third
party junction boxes may void product warranty.
