1.0 GENERAL
This device is for monitoring and communicating gas concentration levels for data collection or
record keeping and does not provide alarm signals.
Misuse of this device may cause explosion and/or personal injury. These instructions must be
thoroughly read and understood prior to installation of the device.
The end-user is responsible for maintaining the device in full, operational condition.
Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) is an extremely toxic gas, and exposure may result in
loss of consciousness or death.
Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas and is extremely flammable. Exposure in closed areas
may cause explosion, and result in loss of consciousness or death.
Avoid dropping the device as loosening of the threaded flame-proof joints or permanent damage
may occur.
New sensors must be calibrated after installation (see Section 3.2).
Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) sensors require a warm-up period. Do not calibrate a new Hydrogen
Sulfide (H2S) sensor immediately after installation or if the device had been powered down (see
Section 2.2).
When not in use, the device should be stored in a clean, dry area and within the temperature
range listed within the device’s environmental specifications.
1.1 Device Overview
The device is an explosion-proof and intrinsically safe, WirelessHART point gas detector used for the detection and monitoring of
harmful gases in air, in order to help maintain a safe environment. A field-interchangeable gas sensor module (see Figure 1) provides
detection of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) or methane (CH4) gas. Gas measurement readings in parts per million (ppm) or lower explosive
limit (%LEL) are communicated along with network and battery status (see Figure 2) via a local, digital display, and WirelessHART 7.2
communication protocol. The device seamlessly integrates with existing supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) or asset
management (AMS) systems.

2.2 Sensor Installation
Only FLEXsense™ sensors provided by United Electric Controls are compatible with this device.
Do not attempt to disassemble the sensor as this could damage the sensor and void hazardous location
approvals, and manufacturer warranty.
Sensors must be activated after installation.
Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) sensors require a warm-up period and must be allowed to stabilize prior to sensor
calibration. Calibration is not recommended at temperatures above 35°C (95°F).
Sensors are packaged fully assembled and require simple installation into the base unit. Toxic (H2S) sensors are comprised of an electrochemical
sensor packaged into a stainless steel housing. Combustible (CH4) sensors are comprised of an infrared sensor packaged into a stainless steel
housing. These are consumable, field replaceable parts (see Section 4.1, Sensor Replacement).
1. Remove the protective end cap cover from the sensor housing on the base unit.
2. Remove FLEXsense™ sensor from packaging.
3. Align the locating pins (see Figure 9) on the FLEXsense™ sensor to the keyed positions on the sensor housing (see Figure 10).
4. Insert the sensor. You will feel and hear a click that ensures the sensor has been inserted correctly.
5. Push button to activate sensor.
For Methane Sensor Only
6. Once the button is pushed, the base transmitter initializes the sensor activation process. During this activation, the screen in Figure 11 will be
displayed. This activation may take up to 2 minutes.

2.3 Sensor Placement Considerations
Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) is an extremely toxic gas, and exposure may result in loss of consciousness
or death.
Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas and is extremely flammable. Exposure in closed areas may
cause explosion, and result in loss of consciousness or death.
This device must be mounted vertically with the sensor pointing downward.
This device is suitable for Class I, Divisions 1 & 2, Groups C and D; or non-hazardous locations only.
-20 °C (-4 °F) ≤ Tamb. ≤ 60 °C* (140°F). Enclosure Type 4X and IP64**
8. If device detects a starting offset concentration for the methane sensor, the device will prompt the user to zero the offset. As shown in Figure
12.
A. To zero the offset, press and hold the calibration button until you see the following display in Figure 13. This takes about 10 seconds.
B. To ignore the offset, press and release the calibration button to skip the zeroing process to step 9.
For All Sensors
9. Once the sensor initialization process is complete, a “Sensor Active” message will show (see Figure 14). The message ‘Calibrate New
Sensors’ (see Figure 15) automatically follows to prompt user to perform a sensor calibration, before returning to home screen (Figure 8).
10. The sensor is self-configuring with the device and once booted up (see Section 2.8 Network Configuration) will display the proper gas con-
centration in ppm or %LEL.
NOTE: In the case of the H2S sensor, there is an associated warm up period to allow for sensor stabilization to 0ppm. Refer to table 2 below for
H2S stabilization time.
NOTE: If the sensor or battery are momentarily removed from the device, and the sensor had been powered prior to the interruption, the warm-
up period does not apply.
NOTE: To zero the methane sensor at any time, remove the sensor from the base transmitter. Wait until the display indicates a ‘Sensor Missing’
message. Reinstall the sensor and follow steps 6 through 9.
