2INSTALLATION AND START-UP
2.1 PRODUCT PLACEMENT
The installation instructions, and any other information supplied by Otis, provide only basic guidelines
relating to the properties of toxic gas and the effects of environmental conditions on the OI-6000K device.
Sensor placement should be determined in consultation with the site safety personnel, as well as those
knowledgeable of: (1) the site/facility where the equipment is being installed and (2) the potentially present
gas types and their dispersion. Otis strongly recommends that the end-user consults with the appropriate
third-party Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) and Industrial Hygiene (IH) professionals to determine
the final quantity and placement of your gas detection devices.
The primary purpose of the OI-6000K is to provide an early warning of the accumulation of toxic gas, in order
to minimize hazards to people and property. Proper placement of the device is paramount to achieving this
goal.
The following general guidelines should be considered when determining the placement of the OI-6000K:
◼The unit shall NOT be placed in an environment that is classified.
◼The unit shall be placed such that the position of the sensor housing is pointing downward to the
ground.
◼Avoid installing the unit in a location where airborne particles could cover or coat the sensor head.
◼The unit should be placed in an area that will produce the highest gas concentration. Enclosed corners
and stopping points of moving devices are two areas susceptible to a buildup of toxic gas.
◼In order to provide an accurate representative sample of a room, care should be taken to avoid locating
the unit near a room entrance, fresh air intake vent, or vehicle/generator exhaust point.
◼The unit should be placed as close as physically possible to the source of the potential toxic gas leak.
◼In consideration of possible ignition points, the unit should be placed between the potential leak
source and ignition point.
◼Consider placing the unit in a seldom used area, such as a warehouse, storage area, or other
unfrequented location.
◼Consider accessibility for regular calibration and other required maintenance.
◼When monitoring a ventilated gas cylinder storage area, the unit should be placed near the air return
vent.
◼When monitoring an outdoor or open-air area, the unit should be placed near the air intake of the
HVAC system of the building.
◼When monitoring for the potential presence of multiple toxic gas types, the unit should be calibrated
for the least cross-sensitive toxic gas.
NOTICE
These guidelines are ONLY intended as a general directive for the placement of the OI-6000K. This
information should NOT serve as a complete list when considering all potential parameters for the proper
location of the unit. It is STRONGLY advised that a third party Certified Industrial Hygienist, or other
Certified Safety Professional, conduct a site survey and annotate the location and quantity of detection
devices that should be installed for EVERY installation of EVERY site.

INSTALLATION AND STARTUP
7 OI-6000K-X-X-X-NXP-X OPS_GUIDE_REV 1.0
2.2 PRODUCT MOUNTING
It is recommended to mount the unit to a solid structure (such as a concrete wall, steel column, or angle
iron) where a minimum of vibration will be transmitted to the unit. Alternately, a pole may be used along
with a strap or a U-bolt, as long as it is rigid and of sufficient strength. Wooden structures are not
recommended for mounting, as they trap moisture (which could affect sensor performance) and their
mounting rigidity degrades over time (screws/bolts weaken and fall out or corrode).
Any style of bolt or screw may be used as long as it is steel and meets or exceeds the following:
◼Maximum ¼"-20 bolt or ؼ" screw (length varies with user need)
◼Flat washers for bolts/nuts/screws
◼Minimum Grade 5 (or better)
◼Corrosion protection for all hardware (paint, galvanize, zinc plating, etc.)
2.3 WIRING CONFIGURATIONS
The OI-6000K has several basic wiring configurations, dependent upon the desired usage and functionality
intended by the end-user. All OI-6000K units require +12 to +35 Volts of wired DC power to operate. Data
communication from the device, through either the 4-20 output or the RS-485 Modbus connection, to an
external location are optional. Consult the subsequent sections of wiring instructions for pertinent
information and guidelines pertaining to the installation of your device.
CAUTION
VERIFY that the power source is disabled before beginning the following wiring steps or performing
any maintenance inside the device enclosure.
The internal components can be static sensitive. Use caution when opening the enclosure and
handling internal components.
DO NOT use any metal objects or tools to remove the terminal board from the internal system.
VERIFY that the label and color combination of the control board terminal exactly matches the
corresponding label and color combination of the power terminal.

2.3.1 OPENING THE ENCLOSURE
To prepare the OI-6000K for installation, you must first open the device, exposing the control
board and its components for wiring.
1. Open the enclosure lid by unlatching the right-side enclosure latches.
2. Using your thumb and forefinger, loosen the front panel thumbscrews that secure the
faceplate and electronics assembly to the enclosure.
3. Open the faceplate to expose the internals of the electronics which allows access to the
wiring terminals.
NOTICE
Disconnecting the sensor connector plug from the digital sensor board will allow for the
faceplate and electronics assembly to swing open further. Disconnecting the digital sensor
board may provide ease in accessing the control board terminals for wiring. If this step is
performed, it is essential that all connections are rejoined before securing the faceplate and
electronics assembly back to the enclosure.
2.3.2 CONNECTING POWER
The AC model OI-6000K comes with a standard power cord that is plugged into a regular wall
outlet, you may skip the below DC wiring instructions and advance to the 4-20 wiring if that
functionality is desired. To provide DC power to the OI-6000K, you will need to connect the power
cable from the sensor terminal block on an Otis monitor, or alternate user supplied power source,
to the OI-6000K power terminal block located on the backplane of the enclosure. An electrician
will need to install the proper cord grip for the cabling being used. Refer to the following
instructions for how to wire your device:
On the GEN II Model OI-6000K Detector:
1. Feed the power wires through the electrician installed cord grip and into the enclosure.
2. Locate the power terminal block on the backplane and complete the following:
a. Connect the positive supply (RED) wire to the screw terminal opposite the
preinstalled RED wire on the terminal block that connects to the back of the control
board.
b. Connect the ground (BLACK) wire to the screw terminal opposite the preinstalled
BLACK wire on the terminal block that connects to the back of the control board.

Wiring power to the device is the ONLY requirement for the OI-6000K to operate. With the
provision of power, the unit will function normally, indicating the presence of toxic gas at the
sensor and providing the gas level reading on the display screen. To utilize the added
functionality of the device, additional wiring is necessary. If an Otis Monitor is not used, the OI-
6000K can be powered from any +12 to +35 VDC power supply that can supply at least 1.250
Amps.

2.3.3 CONNECTING 4-20 MA OUTPUT
To utilize the 4-20 mA wired analog output feature of the OI-6000K, you will need to connect the
signal cable from your monitoring device to the OI-6000K terminal block located on the backplane
as well as a common ground reference wire. Refer to the following instructions for how to wire
your device:
On the GEN II Model OI-6000K Detector:
1. Feed the signal wire through the electrician installed cord grip and into the enclosure.
NOTICE
The power and signal wires may be conjoined as a 3-wire cable, incorporating the power (RED),
ground (BLACK), and signal (GREEN) wires all into one jacketed cable.
2. Locate the terminal block on the backplane and complete the following:
a. Connect the signal (GREEN) wire to the “4-20 mA” terminal.
b. Connect the common ground reference wire to the DC power source ground terminal.
