1.0 Quick Setup Guide / Check List
Follow step by step instruction below for quick setup of the system. Details are
outlined in the section number referred in the right column.

1
If the unit is to use Alarm Text messaging function then an active SIM
Card must be installed in order for onboard Cell Module to activate.
See Section on SIMCardInstallation for details.

2
Install PT2000 Series Wireless Controllerin safeand indoor.
3
Inside the Controller move the AC Circuit Breaker (Next to AC/DC Power
supply) in OFF position (downward). Connect AC Power to the Unit as
per local Electrical codes.

4
For proper wireless communication antenna must be installed at an
elevated level connected to the controller with the coax cable. Use the
antenna and the coax cable supplied with the controller. Using
antenna and or cable other than the one supplied by Pem-Tech could
result in inefficient data communication between the detectors and the
controller.

If Hardwired Audio/Visual Alarm Station is tobe used then follow the
wiring diagram for the Alarm station referred later in the manual.
If Wireless Remote Alarm RelayModule is used then refer to Wiring
Diagram Drawing # B2013138 in Appendix A

Verify AC Power Connection and then apply AC power to the unit.
Move the Circuit Breaker to UPWARD position to turn the unit ON.

Unit is shipped with default setting for H2S and LELalarmlevels and 12
wireless detectors as Active (for a 24 Channel Unit). The Controller is
ready to receive the data from wireless detectors if installed. However, if
the detectors are not installed then after 2-5 minutes each detector
data block on the display screen will indicate CommFail. Once
detectors are on-line this message will clear andthe sensor reading will
appear in the data block of the main display screen.

For Short and clear Line of sight distance a dipole antenna can be
simply installed on top of the Detector. Always use the protective
polycarbonate antenna cover to protect the antenna and the connector
against the environment.
For Long distance use the Coax Cable and the Yagi Directional Antenna
supplied.

Powering the Wireless Detectors:
If Solar Powered then simply connect the solar Panel power
cable to the receptacle on the left side of the Detector Enclosure
For Battery Powered units.
Remove the glass cover. Unscrew the 2 Thumb screws on
the top panel of the detector to remove the panel
Verify the batteries are installed and secured in the
battery holder.
Re-Connect the Display board with connection board
inside with short ribbon cable. DonotTwistandTurnthe

position with a magnet to activatethe internal switch to
turn ON the Unit. The switch is located right underneath
the cover plate above the LCD. If the magnet is weak
due to the enclosure wall thickness it may not be able to
activate the internal switch. Simply remove the cover
half way and then touch the internal wall of the
enclosure body (threaded side) to activate the switch.

Once the detector has been powered up a proper Unit ID/Address must
be assigned to identify itself to the main wireless controller. All
detectors must have consecutive numeric ID number. For example
with 12 Detectors in use UnitID/Address must be from 1thru 12. Refer
to section on Unit Id for details

2.0 Introduction
Model PT2000/H is a PLC Based Gas Monitor & Controller designed tointerface to wide
range of Wireless Toxic and Combustible gas detectors. This unit comes in standard
with GPRS Cell Modem for Alarm Text messaging and internal flash memory for
historical data logging. Also onboard are 4 programmable Relay Contacts that can be
interfaced with Audio/Visual Alarm Devices. Additional Relay Modules can be added if
needed.

3.0 Setting Up PT2000 Controller
3.1Installing SIM Card for GPRS Cell Phone Module
The unit is shipped from the factory without any SIM card. User must install a valid SIM
card acquired from the local cell phone provider. This procedure is performed only
once upon receiving the brand new unit from the Pem-Tech. SIM Card does not need
to be removed from the controller when the system is not in use for extended period
of time.
Before installing the SIM card be sure that the power is completely removed. Also
extra care need to be taken when opening the back cover of the screen display. Avoid
opening the unit in dusty environment and avoid any static damage to the unit.
Following is the step by step procedure to install the SIM Card.
Remove Power from the unit if currently ON
Disconnect the power, USB Extension
Cable and RJ45 cable from the bottom of
the PLC Display screen. Remove the
screws (5 each) in order to remove the
back cover.
Lift to cover gently to avoid any damage
to the flex cables inside the unit.
Unplug power and Data Cables
Remove Screws to loosen the cover

GPRS Cell Module is locatedon the right
side of the Display. Slide the SIM card
under the small metal frame. Note that
the angled-notch on the SIMcard must
be facing down as shown in picture.
Push the SIM card gently all the way
under the metal bracket to secure. At
any time do not apply excessive force.
Now replace the back cover with care. Make sure the ribbon cable on top of the
display does not get pinched between the cover and the frame.
Secure the back cover with the mounting screws.
Reinstall power plugs, RJ45 data cable and any other cables/wires as were
originally installed.
