IRIS WATCHDOG III USER MANUAL

INTRODUCTION
The Watchdog III Flare Stack Pilot Monitoring System consists of two components, the Model S256B
viewing head, and the Model P222 signal processor.
The Watchdog III Flare Stack Pilot Monitor electrooptically detects the presence or absence of a ame
at the are tip.
Continuous monitoring of the are pilot is critical to
ensure no unburned toxic or waste gases are released
into the atmosphere. The Watchdog IIIs ultraviolet
sensor dependably and reliably monitors the amount
of ultraviolet energy being emitted by the ame.
When ultraviolet (UV) energy from the ame is
detected, the Watchdog III indicates that the pilot is
present. When no UV energy is received, one of the
two independent relays in the signal processor can
be adjusted to de-energize within one minute, providing a preliminary ame loss alarm. The second relay also de-energizes but only after a longer
adjustable time-delay. Consequently, it provides a
nal ame out alarm.
The Watchdog III is ground-mounted up to 1000 feet
from the stack tip. This allows the system to be installed and made operational without interrupting the
operation of the are stack or shutting down the plant.
This also allows maintenance personnel easy access to
the instrument should servicing be required.
Other features include security and eld upgradeable
ash programming.
POWER REQUIREMENTS
The P222 can be powered from an AC Line Voltage
between 85 to 264VAC at 47 to 440 Hz., or from an
external 24VDC power supply. A 30W power supply,
such as the IRISPS030, is sufcient to power both
the signal processor and viewing head.
The viewing head is powered by the P222 signal
processor via a 0.25A self-resetting fuse. The power
to the signal processor itself is via a 0.75A self-resetting fuse. These self-resetting fuses are re-set when
power to the signal processor is removed.
SIGNAL PROCESSOR WIRING
The P222 signal processor should be mounted in a
suitable weatherproof enclosure that is approved for

the conditions for the area.

Refer to Figure 1 on the following page, and proceed
to wire the signal processor as follows:
AC Powered:
Connect AC Line power to terminal AC1
Connect AC Neutral to terminal AC2
Connect Ground to terminal GND
DC Powered:
Connect +24VDC power to +24V IN
Connect -24VDC power to GND
Relay R1 (Early Indication)
Relay R1 will energize when ame is detected, and de-energize when ame has not been
detected for R1 Time Delay seconds. When
energized, the R1 RELAY ON Led on the
front panel will be illuminated. Typically, this
relay would be used to trigger an ignition system to attempt to re-ignite the ame. It could
also serve to trigger an alarm as a warning of
loss of ame. So two sets of Form C contacts
are provided (DPDT).
Connections to this relay are made on the top
right terminal connectors.
R1A COM and R1B COM are the common
terminals, with R1A ON and R1B ON being
closed for Flame On, and R1A OFF and R1B
OFF being closed for Flame Off.
Relay R2 (Delayed Indication)
Relay R2 is a time delayed Flame Off alarm
relay. The time delay serves to provide a Denite FLAME OUT indication. When the pilot
ame is detected, the relay energizes immediately and provides a FLAME ON indication.
The R2 RELAY ON LED on the front panel
will be illuminated. When a ame is no longer
detected, this relay has a delayed response and
only de-energizes after its (adjustable) delayed
amount of time. (The time delay for Relay R2
must be longer than the delay for Relay R1)
Connections to this relay are made to the top
center terminal connector. One set of Form C
Page 3

IRIS WATCHDOG III USER MANUAL

contacts are provided (SPDT).
R2 COM is the common terminal, with R2 ON
being closed for Flame On (Delayed), and R2
OFF being closed for Flame Off (Delayed).
Viewing head connections
Connections to the viewing head are made to
the connector on the bottom right.
For wiring, see the diagram in Figure 2.
Ensure that the viewing head signal wire and
the signal ground (braided shield in the four
conductor cable) are both connected, since
this ground connection is the only return path
for the signal and self checking circuit.
Verify that the terminating resistor is connected between SC and SIG GND.

Remote Meter
The pair of terminals designated RMT METER
(to the left of the CHAN SEL terminals) is for
the remote meter connection. This output is
a current-driven signal that ranges from 0 to
20mA for remote meters, and can be switched
to a range of 4 to 20mA for DCS (distributed
control system) applications (refer to section Gain Set button (adjusting 4 to 20 mA
output).
Connect the terminal marked positive to the
positive meter terminal. This current signal
can be used with a volt meter by feeding the
signal to a resistor connected to the ground.
The voltage developed across the resistor
will follow Ohms law V = IR. (for accurate

FIGURE 1: P222 TERMINAL LABELING

Page 4

IRIS WATCHDOG III USER MANUAL

reading a maximum resistance of 360 ohms is
required)
For example: a 3-volt meter can be used with
a resistor of 3/.02 = 150 ohms, which will
result in a full-scale reading of 3 volts for a
20mA output.
The four terminals labeled +TX, -TX, +RX,
and -RX (to the left of RMT METER terminals) are used for the serial communication
link. Serial communication is achieved by using Modbus RTU binary code transmission at
4800, 9600, 19200 or 38400 baud through the
RS232 com ports on the host computer with
odd, even or no parity. (default settings are
9600 baud with no parity.)
The P222 uses RS-422 data transmission over
two, twisted pairs that are differentially transmitted and received, allowing long wire runs
to be used through noisy environments. An
RS-232 to RS-422 converter must be used to
communicate with the P222, and the connections are made to the terminals marked +TX,
-TX, +RX and -RX. The transmitting, twisted
pair goes to the TX terminals, and the receiving, twisted pair goes to the RX terminals.
Note: the terms transmit and receive used
here with respect to the P222 will be reversed
with respect to the RS-232 connection on the
host computer.

Channel Select
A second set of conguration parameters can
be stored and used in circumstances where
ame characteristics and/or delay times
changes at a known time.
To set channel B conguration parameters
press hand hold the B button until it begins
to ash quickly (the P222 is now in B channel
adjust mode and all congurations for viewing
head gain , time settings and ame off level
can now be adjusted.
NOTE: Whenever Channel A or Channel B
parameters are being adjusted the appropriate
channel light will ash quickly.
To Use Channel B conguration, switch a
voltage (12 to 24 VDC) to the CHAN SEL
pins on the lower terminal strip (There is also
a register available using Modbus to switch
over if using computer control)
Manual Clear
In manual mode, (HAnd), the Signal processor will not automatically respond (energize
the relays) after a loss of ame until manually
acknowledged (cleared)
Manual mode is indicated by the Auto/Manual
(yellow LED) being off. In this state the
processor will respond to ame detection.

Once a ame is detected the unit will energize
the relays and monitor the ame. If the ame
signal is absent for a period equal to the longest delay (relays de-energized) the processor will enter the Manual Mode Tripped state
(yellow led ashing). In this mode the relays
will not be energized if the ame is detected
unless the manual mode is cleared by either
a remote switch on the MAN CLEAR Terminal to Ground, or by pressing the RESET
button. Note that pressing the RESET button
in Manual mode will toggle between Tripped
and back to ready states (indicated by the yellow LED ashing or off).
Remember: If the yellow LED is ashing, the
relays will NOT be energized even if ame is
detected.
WIRING THE VIEWING HEAD
Wiring of the viewing head is made to the terminals
located on the lower right side of the P222 signal
processor.
These terminals are described as follows:

Signal Ground

Figure 2 shows a four-conductor cable connected

to the viewing head. Note that the ame signal wire
going to terminal SIG is shielded, and the shield is
terminated at both ends of the cable to SIG GND.
A source impedance resistor is required on the P222
signal processor when attached to the P256 viewing
head. This resistor should be 330 ohms (factory installed) for viewing head cable runs up to 500 feet,
and it should be 150 ohms for cable runs of 500 feet
to 1000 feet. The resistor should be installed across
the SC and SIG GND terminals on the signal processor. A 1/4 watt resistor is suitable.
It should be noted that the ame signal wire is
shielded, and that the shield is terminated at both
ends. The shield must be a braided type for this ap-

plication in order to maintain an electrical path. For

this reason, a foil type shield should not be used. This
signal ground shield is also the self-checking circuit
return path. It is recommended that IRIS C328 cable
be used for all applications.
Connection of the IRIS type C328 cable to the viewing head plug is in Figure 3, Connector Wiring, and
should be done as follows:
Remove the cable entry nut from the plug housing.
Remove the rubber grommet and at sealing washer.
With a pair of long-nosed pliers remove the center
ring only of the rubber grommet.
1. Strip 2 inches of the cable outer cover from the
cable removing any cellophane wrap or ller
material. Strip the insulation from the shielded
wire (if insulated over shield) a full 2 inches to
expose the shield.
2. Slide the shield back until a bulge develops
close to where the wire exits the cable outer
covering.
3. Carefully spread a few strands of the shield
at the bulge (making sure not to break any
strands) to create an opening and pull the wire
out of shield through opening.
4. Carefully return shield to original shape and
length by pulling gently, then cover the shield
with heat shrink tubing to insulate it.
5. Slide the nut (with threads toward the cable
end), the washer and the grommet approximately six inches onto the cable.
6. Slip the cable through the bottom opening of
the connector making sure that the cable outer
jacket is secure under the cable clamp and tighten the two screws on the cable clamp.
7. Reassemble the grommet, at washer, and cable
entry nut and tighten.
8. Strip each wire 3/8 as shown in the assembly
drawing gure 2 on the following page.
9. Proceed to wire the connector as follows: (Refer to the wiring diagram gure 1 for terminal
locations.)
Page 7

IRIS WATCHDOG III USER MANUAL

Connect the viewing head signal wire (the
shielded wire) WHT to terminal No. 1 by
inserting into opening and then tightening the
retaining screw.
Connect the self-checking signal wire BLK to
terminal No. 2.
Connect the signal ground shield from WHT
wire with shrink tubing to terminal No. 3.
Connect the + 24VDC power wire RED to
terminal No. 4.
Connect the power ground wire GRN to terminal No. 5.
Assemble the back of the plug and insert the
jackscrew through plug assembly.
The cable at the signal processor end should be prepared
in a similar way to the plug end, particularly the shield
from the WHT wire. Follow the wiring connections as
shown in the wiring diagram gure 1, making sure that
the shield does not touch the other adjacent terminals.
SELF-CHECKING FUNCTION
When energized, the self checking function indicates
that both the P222 signal processor and the viewing
head are functioning properly. The software in the
P222 signal processor will cause the SELF CHECK
LED on the front panel to ash at the rate of once per
second, indicating normal operation.
Any component failure will cause a lockout condition
that will de-energize the ame relays. The SELF
CHECK light on the P222 will indicate this condition
with a steady on or off illumination requiring a reset
to return to normal ame monitoring mode.
A reset can be achieved only if the lockout condition
has been corrected, and can be performed from the
front panel (by pressing the RESET button), or remotely through the serial communication.
FRONT PANEL LED INDICATIONS
The following describes the functions of the Led
indicators on the front panel of the P222 signal processor:

S256B Viewing Head Aiming

A good level of aiming accuracy can be

achieved by sighting down the top or bottom
of the Viewing Head hood to see the center
of the ame.

For ne adjustments use the ashing rate of

the right hand decimal point to maximize
the speed of its ashing. If the Right hand
decimal is illuminated steady then use the
ashing rate of the left hand point decimal
point.

high temperatures may reduce the life of the

viewing head. The P222 will display a high
temperature warning by ashing the viewing
head temperature if the internal viewing head
temperature exceeds recommended limits.
MODULE COMMUNICATIONS
The P222 communicates with any host computer
that can be connected to a serial RS422 or RS485
converter running appropriate Modbus protocol software (such as Flame tools for the PC or Palm). The
baud rate is displayed with the module address in
the current versions (see SETTING ADDRESSES,
section). The data transmitted to and from the P222
is over two twisted pairs that are differentially driven
and received according to the RS-422 standard. (it
can also be congured to communicate over a single
shielded twisted pair using the RS-485 standard) The
differential mode allows long wire runs in harsh,
electrical environments.
Communication Setting (Setting Addresses)
The P222 can communicate in Modbus RTU mode,
with the following conguration:
4800, 9600, 19200 or 38400 baud (adjustable)

8 data bits (xed)

none, odd or even parity (adjustable)

1 stop bit (xed)

The Right hand decimal point ashes at the

extreme highest resolution possible and is
only usable if ame counts are low.

The factory default of a P222 station number is 0.

It is important to change the station number so that
there are no duplicate stations.

The left hand decimal will ash at a low

resolution according to signal strength and
Gain

To change or check the station number of the P222,
