INTRODUCTION
Building on the outstanding legacy of the Millennium Series, Net Safety’s latest innovation in this line of continuously
evolving industrial transmitters and sensors, the Millennium II, pushes the boundaries of what you can expect from
your detection system. Combined with state of the art “Smart” sensors, users will receive a detection system which is
both versatile and reliable for fast, accurate and continuous monitoring of gases in extreme environments.
THE PRODUCT
TRANSMITTER/CONTROLLER
A Millennium II gas detection system is composed of a field mounted transmitter\controller and Millennium II
series sensors which may be integrally mounted to the controller or remotely mounted as far as 2000 feet away.
The transmitter is certified for use in hazardous locations and is available as a single or dual sensor system. All
operator controls including configuration and calibration can be accessed without opening the enclosure by using other
communication devices and the attached magnet to actuate reed switches. If the area is non-hazardous and the
enclosure (housing) is open then the operator may choose to use push-button switches and analog output test jacks on
the face of the electronics module. Available outputs are: conventional 0.0 to 20mA analog, Analog/HART,
electromechanical relays, solid-state relays or Modbus RTU digital.
A dual channel transmitter is available with "peak picking" functionality where there is only one analog output and this
analog output follows the signal from the sensor that is responding to the highest gas concentration. This is useful in
conserving analog input capacity on connected user equipment.
THE MANUAL
This manual has been designed to guide users through each procedure, ensuring that transmitters and sensors are
configured, operated and maintained properly. Guidelines and warnings are included to ensure safe and proper
functioning of the equipment. The manual gives the overall operational and functional features of transmitters
with sensors and may not have sensor specific information. Refer to sensor manuals for information specific to
each sensor including detailed calibration instructions. If you encounter any problems, see the troubleshooting
section of this manual or contact factory.

SECTION 2: Wiring and installation
2.1 Field Installation
Warning Wiring codes and regulations may vary. ATEX requires that supply connection wiring must be rated
at least 5°C above the maximum ambient temperature of 85°C. Wiring must comply with all applicable regulations
relating to the installation of electrical equipment in a hazardous area and is the responsibility of the installer. If in
doubt, consult qualified personnel before wiring the system.
Warning Do not open the transmitter enclosure in a classified area (Do not open when an explosive
atmosphere may be present).
Guidelines
•The safety ground connection of the transmitter is a Green screw found in the enclosure. See Figure 4 for
Ground screw location. Note: The electronics module has to be removed to access Ground screw. Follow steps
1-7 under Section ‘1.2.3 Rotating electronics module relative to enclosure and conduit entries,’ when
removing electronics module.
•If the 4-20mA signal is not used, connect a jumper between the 4 – 20mA terminal and the Common terminal
to allow analog current levels to be monitored at the Test Jacks on the faceplate.
•The use of shielded cable is highly recommended for signal, input, output and power wires. Refer to Section
‘2.1.2 Cable choice and guidelines’ for recommended cable to help eliminate interference caused by
extraneous electrical or electromagnetic ‘noise’. To meet IEC 61000-1 and IEC 61000-4 EMI requirements,
follow the recommendations listed under Section ‘2.1.2 Cable choice and guidelines.’
•In applications where wiring is installed in conduit, conduit must not be used for wiring to any other electrical
equipment.
•For effective communication, Net Safety limits sensor separation to 2000 feet using 16AWG wires.
•Modbus RS-485 connection 2-wire mode, multipoint serial line available. Up to 247 addresses allowed.
•When developing a RS-485 chain of devices, the last device in the chain requires an end of line termination
resistor (120 Ohms).
•Transmitter connector terminals accommodate wire from 14 to 20 AWG.
2.1.1 Seals
Warning The use of conduit wiring seals is recommended to protect the system against water ingression, and
equipment should be installed according to local electrical codes. Seals are especially recommended for installations
that use high-pressure or steam cleaning devices in proximity to the transmitter and/or sensor. The cementing material
used on the Millennium II sensors is suitable for an operating temperature range of (-55°C to +85 °C).
Guidelines
•It is recommended that explosion-proof drains and conduit breathers be used. In some applications, alternate
changes in temperature and barometric pressure can cause ‘breathing’ which allows moist air to enter and
circulate inside the conduit. Joints in the conduit system are seldom tight enough to prevent this ‘breathing.’
•Threaded connections on the enclosure between the enclosure and conduit pipe need to be sealed with thread
tape, such as Teflon tape, or something similar.
•Hydrophobic filters (IPF-001) may be used to protect sensors from water.

11
MAN-0076 Rev 4 Millennium II
August 25, 2010
Net Safety Monitoring Inc
•It is the responsibility of the installer to install conduit seals where necessary, and to design conduit runs to
ensure that condensation does not accumulate and collect inside the enclosure.
2.1.2 Cable choice and guidelines
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) can be caused by nearby electrical devices (transformers, high voltage equipment)
as well as handheld communications devices/radios, which when activated, may impede the proper functioning of the
transmitter and sensor. Selecting the right instrumentation cable and making proper grounding connections within the
junction box will reduce or eliminate interference. Visible symptoms of Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) include
inconsistent, incorrect and erratic LEL and PPM readings.
Important Wiring Guidelines
Fire and gas detection instruments are an important part of a safety alarm and shutdown system. The system is
composed of:
•detection instruments
•customer connected equipment
•wiring
Net Safety designs and manufactures its detection equipment under rigid quality control management systems and
makes every effort to design for the harshest of industrial environments. The other components of the system – the
customer-connected equipment and wiring – are also important contributors to the overall quality and performance of
the safety system.
It is important to implement wiring that ensures the reliability and integrity of the safety system. Field wiring practices
and the choice of cable type specified vary from project to project. Poor practices and choices are often found to be the
source of unwanted system disruptions. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI)
are usually very powerful disruptive forces in industrial facilities and these forces act upon the system through the
wiring.
Follow the wiring specifications and guidelines in this manual carefully. The cable used should be a very high quality
instrument grade, certified for the application conditions, consisting of a rugged protective outer jacket, an overall
electrical shield of fine braided copper or metallic foil, and internal pairs or triads of foil shielded copper wire of
suitable gauge for the power conducted over the specified length.
The shields must be electrically continuous from the instrument junction box through other junction boxes and finally
to the connected equipment. The shield must be connected to a suitable ground sink as specified in the instrument
manual in order to protect the system from electrical disturbances.
Recommended cable and guidelines
The type of cable and shielding practices are especially important when sensor is separated from transmitter via
junction box. Net Safety recommends using CSA armored instrumentation cable (ACIC 2PR 16AWG, 300V, ISOS,
PVC) when rigid (steel) conduit is not used. See Figure 5. This cable should be used between the PLC/PANEL/DCS
and the Millennium II Transmitter, as well as between the Millennium II Transmitter and junction box.
Additional notes:
In general, communication cables and power cables should not run in parallel for any significant length, and should not
be carried in the same cable tray. Through inductance, high currents in power cables can induce significant ‘noise’ in
communication cables running parallel alongside power cables.
See cable preparation procedure on next page.

Net Safety Monitoring Inc
Armored Cable preparation procedure:
1. Prepare the armored instrument cable as illustrated in Figure 5 and follow all assembly and/or preparation
instructions provided by the cable and/or cable gland manufacturer.
2. Install cable gland and reducer onto the cable.
3. Ensure four (4) inches of wire length is available for connecting to terminals inside the junction box.
4. Use a small flat head screw driver when connecting wires to connector terminals. See Figure 6.
5. Connect sensor wires to the appropriate terminals. See Figure 5C, Figure 9, Figure 12 and Figure 13.

Warning Before wiring, ensure that power to transmitter is switched off. 
When connecting cable wires, use a small screwdriver to gently press down and hold the spring connector open. Insert
the appropriate wire into the open connector hole, releasing the screwdriver to secure the wire. See Figure 6.
Figure 6: Connecting wires
Warning Avoid touching electronic components, as they are susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Refer to Appendix A, “Electrostatic Sensitive Device (ESD)”.
2.1.3 Analog output, isolated supply, non-isolated supply and jumper configuration
The analog output may be powered from the main instrument power supply or a separate, independent power supply in
which case an isolated wiring configuration is necessary.
To set a Non-isolated or Isolated current output, simply move the Jumpers/shorting jacks (JP3 and JP4) to either the
Non-isolated or Isolated current position. For Non-isolated current output, ensure pins 3 & 2 at JP3 & JP4
location on the main terminal board are jumpered (shorted). Factory standard models ship with jumpers at JP3 &
JP4 in the Non-isolated current output position (default position).
For Isolated current output, pins 1 & 2 at JP3 & JP4 should be jumpered (shorted). Note that JP3 is for
configuring channel 1 and JP4 is for configuring channel 2. Jumpers and pins are located next to the power and 4-
20 output terminals on the main terminal board. See Figure 7, also Figure 12 & Figure 13 for reference.
Figure 7: Non- Isolated and Isolated current jumpers
Warning Always ensure that JP3 and JP4 jumpers are in the correct position depending on the current output
configuration chosen.

2.1.4 Remotely mounted sensors jumper configuration
Sensor separation from the transmitter may extend up to 2000 feet in which case a junction box is required.
When mounting sensor remotely (separating sensor from transmitter), Jumpers JP1 and JP2 should be installed over
the pins. Jumpers and pins are located on the main terminal board near the sensor terminals. JP1 is for channel 1 and
JP2 is for channel 2. Refer to Figure 8.

2.1.6 Remote Reset
If the alarm relays are configured for latching operation it may be desirable to reset latched alarms from a remote
location. In this case a normally open, momentary push-button switch may be connected across terminals RST and
COM.
Figure 10: Remote Reset wiring
2.1.7 Sensor Separation/ Remote mounting of sensor
When necessary to mount sensor remotely (separated from transmitter) by way of junction box and conduit, it is
important that the installer follow the necessary requirements and guidelines relating to sensor separation and cable
selection. See Figure 11 for typical remote mounting of sensor. Also refer to Section ‘2.1.2 Cable choice and
guidelines,’ for cable selection and wiring guidelines.
When sensors are being mounted remotely, consult the multi-purpose junction box manual (MAN-0081) for wiring
instructions. Always ensure that the transmitter is supplying 10.5 - 32Vdc across the sensor power terminals of Net
Safety junction box (JB-MPD-A/S).
The maximum distance between the sensor and transmitter is limited by the resistance of the connecting wiring, which
is a function of the gauge of the wire being used. For effective communication, Net Safety limits the separation
distance between sensor and transmitter to 2000ft using 16 AWG wire. See Appendix B for information on wire gauge
and resistance.

SECTION 3: Transmitter and faceplate description
3.1 Transmitter Power Up
After power is applied to the transmitter, a warm-up routine will begin, the duration of which depends on the sensor
type. The display will indicate the sensor warming up and the Status LED will flash Slow Red and current output will
be 3.0mA. After the warm-up period, the transmitter will enter normal operation and the screen will display:
“Channel 1 00 %LEL (or PPM), Channel 2 00 %LEL (or PPM).” For dual channel models either channel can
be disabled if not in use. If a channel is disabled, the screen will display: “Disabled” for that particular channel. The
enabled channel analog output will be to 4.0 mA during normal operation.
Figure 14: Faceplate description
Note: A slow flash is defined as the Status LED being ‘ON’ for 50 milli-seconds and ‘OFF’ for 1 second, while a fast
flash is the LED being ‘ON’ for 250 milli-seconds and ‘OFF’ for 250 milli-seconds and a very fast flash is the LED
‘ON’ for 50 milli-seconds and ‘OFF’ for 50 milli-seconds.
3.2 Display
The Millennium II is equipped with an Organic LED (O LED) display. It allows the user to see the concentration of
gas present for each individual channel and the various options offered. The display has a wide temperature rating and
will operate well in lowly lit conditions. In order to extend the life of the display, a screen saver is enabled if the menu
is not in use. To exit the screen saver mode, move the magnet close to any of the three Reed switch locations (8 o’
clock, 6 o’ clock or 4 o’ clock position). See Figure 14 and Figure 15.
