 Description

2.4 Dual Sensing

The S5000 supports two Digital Sensors, or one IR400 point IR detector and one Digital Sensor
simultaneously with four wire connections. However, the device will only support one passive
sensor, either combustible catalytic bead or metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensors, based on
the ATO configuration. Passive catalytic bead uses three wires, passive MOS uses four wires.
The S5000 Gas Monitor generates two independent analog outputs; one for each sensor
connected to the transmitter. The analog output associated with Sensor 1 also has the digital
HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) communication superimposed on the analog
signal. If two sensors are connected, the digital HART communication carries information for both
sensors.
2.5 Retrofit Installations
The S5000 has the conduit entries located in the exact same orientation and distance from the
wall and the mounting holes for attaching to a wall are identical to the S4000 Series detectors.
Users will be able to re-use the existing wiring for the remotely mounted sensors.
2.6 XCell Sensors Optimized for Fixed Gas Applications
XCell toxic and combustible catalytic bead sensors are developed and manufactured by MSA.
Now optimized for fixed gas applications, the XCell sensor platform is available in the S5000 and
provides multiple benefits, including a standard 3-year warranty on all XCell sensors.
One important optimization for fixed gas was incorporating the GM catalytic bead into the XCell
sensor.
The XCell Oxygen sensor does not use lead, but rather a non-consuming reaction chemistry. The
XCell Oxygen sensor is expected to last well over 3 years and can be safely stored on the shelf
for at least 1 year without sensor performance degradation.
2.7 TruCal Sensing Technology for CO and H2S Electrochemical Sensors
Using patented pulse check technology and proprietary Adaptive Environmental Compensation
(AEC) algorithms, XCell sensors wtih TruCal verify operation.
Automated pulse checks are the muscle behind the TruCal technology. Every six hours, an elec-
trical pulse stimulates the XCell sensor similar to having actual calibration gas applied, providing
a snapshot of the sensor's sensitivity at the time of the pulse. Using this sensitivity snapshot, the
sensor can diagnose sensor failures like electrode poisoning, electrolyte leaking, or electrical
connectivity issues. The sensitivity snapshots are mapped over time to provide an overall Life &
Health status as either "Good" or "Fair" if the sensor is approaching end of life.
But that's not all. The brains of the TruCal technology lie within the proprietary Adaptive Environ-
mental Compensation (AEC) algorithms. AEC uses the sensitivity snapshots provided by the
pulse check to adjust sensor output, compensating for environmental impacts on sensor accu-
racy. If the AEC adjustment is greater than expected based on typical environmental impact vari-
ations, the transmitter LED’s will slowly flash GREEN, indicating that the sensor should be
calibrated to reset the AEC cycle. The result is a sensor that actively self-monitors for operation
US
and accuracy, with far fewer manual calibrations.
Actual TruCal sensor performance will depend on the application, background gas exposure, and
environment. To validate XCell sensors with TruCal, it is recommended that users follow their
regular calibration cycle and record the "as found" and "as left" values. This data can be used to
extend the time between calibrations depending on the required specification of the application.

 Description

2.8 SafeSwap
The S5000 comes with patented SafeSwap technology, which allows users to change or replace
XCell sensors without needing to power down the instrument. Swap delay is enabled on the
S5000 by default; a feature that gives users a 2 minute window to change sensors without trig-
gering a fault condition. SafeSwap and Swap Delay are only applicable for XCell sensors. For
more information on SafeSwap and Swap Delay, see section 6.

3.4 Mounting
WARNING!
Refer to section 9 "Appendix: General Certification Information" before installation.
Some toxic gases are provided in a fritless sensor housing. The fritless sensor housing is labeled
as Div 2 or Zone 2 and is approved for Div 2 or Zone 2 installations only. The protection method
is Nonincendive or Type n respectively. Ensure all components are approved for the wiring
method being used and in accordance with the National Electrical Code of the country of use, any
applicable local regulations, and this manual.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.

3.4.1 Sensor Mounting Location

The best location for the transmitter and the sensor may not be the same location. Sensors should
be placed in a location where a gas leak is most likely to be detected. When the best sensor place-
ment would not allow the transmitter display to be easily viewed or accessed, a remote junction
box can be used to mount the sensor remotely from the transmitter, allowing both to be installed
in the optimum location.
Two main factors should be considered when choosing a sensor location. The first is the density
of the target gas relative to the air. Gases, such as propane, that are heavier than air should be
placed near ground level while gases that are lighter than air should be placed above potential
leak sources.
Optimum sensor placement will depend on the surrounding processing equipment, such as pipes,
valves, or turbines. MSA offers a gas and flame mapping service that systematically evaluates
potential sources of leaks and recommends detector quantity and placement to create the most
effective detection system.
3.4.2 Transmitter Mounting Location
The transmitter display should be mounted so that the screen is visible and easily accessed after
installation. The electronics assembly inside the enclosure have one orientation inside the cylin-
drical housing. Take care to position the conduit entries and display so that the display is read in
the correct orientation.

 Installation

3.4.3 Sensor Orientation

WARNING!
Mount the IR400 with the sensor inlet fitting extended horizontally from the main enclosure (Fig.
10) to prevent the build-up of particulate or liquid matter on the monitor's optical surfaces.
Mount the digital sensor with the sensor inlet fitting (Fig. 11) pointed downward; otherwise, the
inlet may become clogged with particulate matter or liquids.
Failure to follow the above warnings may result in serious personal injury or loss of life.
Sensor orientation will depend on the sensor type. If mounting an IR400 point IR sensor, whether
locally on the transmitter or via remote junction box, the sensor should be mounted horizontally.
If the IR400 sensor is not mounted horizontally, the sensor will be prone to more frequent beam
blocking issues due to accumulated dust and condensation on the surface of the IR400 sensor.
Fig. 10 shows the correct and incorrect mounting orientations for the IR400.

Fig. 10 Correct and Incorrect Mounting Orientations for IR400 Point IR Sensor
All other sensors, including electrochemical, catalytic bead, oxygen, passive catalytic bead, and
passive MOS should be mounted vertically with the gas inlet pointed downward. If the sensor is
not mounted with the gas inlet facing down, it is more likely to become clogged with particulate
matter or liquids. Fig. 11 shows the correct and incorrect mounting orientation for digital sensors.
Passive catalytic bead and MOS sensors come already installed on the transmitter housing.

3.4.4 Connecting Sensor to Transmitter Housing or Remote Junction Box

Digital and IR400 sensors are not shipped attached to the main enclosure. The main sensor input
is provided via a four-terminal connection that provides a digital interface for all sensor modules.
Up to two sensors (excluding passive sensors) can be connected to a single transmitter with two
analog outputs capable of representing the readings of the individual sensors.
If planning to install the sensor attached to the transmitter or remote junction box, connect the
sensor before selecting the final mounting location so that the dimensions of the sensor can be
considered.
Passive sensors are shipped already attached and electrically wired to the device. Only one
passive sensor can be used on a single S5000, and they are not interchangeable with other
passive sensors or Digital Sensors. Consider the sensor dimensions when choosing a mounting
location for the transmitter or junction box.
To connect the sensor:
(1) Loosen the set screw located on the lid using a 1.5 mm Allen wrench.
(2) Turn the lid counter-clockwise to remove.
(3) Pull out display module to expose terminal connections.

3.5 Installing a Remote Sensor Junction Box

Sensors mounted remotely must use the S5000 junction box. The junction box housing is the
same construction as the transmitter. The mounting options and instructions for connecting the
sensor are the same for sensors connected directly to the S5000 transmitter housing. The junction
box is available in 316 Stainless Steel.
Sensors can be remote mounted up to 100 m from the transmitter housing, as long as the S5000
transmitter is mounted within maximum distance from the power supply, as indicated in Tab. 1.
The junction box does not have an illuminated display and has two connectors for attaching a
single sensor input and an output connects to the transmitter. A 16 AWG 4 element cable with a
braided shield should be used for the electrical connection between the junction box and the
S5000 transmitter. Specific cable recommendations are available upon request.

3.6 Electrical Power Connections

3.6.1 Electrical Warnings - Read before Connecting Power
WARNING!
 Before wiring the S5000 transmitter, disconnect the power source supplying the transmitter
and ensure no hazardous atmosphere present; otherwise, electrical shock or ignition of
hazardous gases could occur.
 Install wiring in accordance with the electrical code of the country in use, the local authority
having jurisdiction and these installation instructions, as applicable.
 Do not make any connections to the S5000 main board or junction box input, output, and relay
connections while under power. Making connections under power could lead to electrical
shock or ignition of a hazardous atmosphere.
 Ensure that water and dirt are not able to enter the unit via the wire or conduit. If the unit is
installed in a location known to be wet or damp, it is good practice to loop or bend the entry
into the unit that prevents water incursion.
 The internal grounding terminal (located on the interior metal board stack plate) must be used
for equipment grounding. The external grounding terminal is only to be used as a supplemental
bonding connection where local authorities permit or require such a connection.
 As part of the product certification, it was verified that optional communication functions of this
gas detection instrument while operating at the maximum transaction rate do not adversely
affect the gas detection operation and functions of the instrument. The product certification,
however, does not include or imply approval of the SafeSwap feature, communications
protocol or functions provided by the software of this instrument or of the communications
apparatus and software connected to this instrument.
 Follow the warnings below when removing or replacing sensors. Reference Fig. 3 for compo-
nent overview.
- Never remove or replace a Sensor Body Assembly or an IR400 while under power or when
explosive hazards are present.
- Confirm that the area is free of explosive hazards before removing or replacing an XCell
Sensor under power.
- To remove an XCell Sensor, unscrew XCell Sensor three full turns, wait 10 seconds, and then
remove the XCell Sensor completely.

Failure to follow the above warnings can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.

3.6.2 Retrofit Applications with S4000CH, S4000TH, or TS4000H

The S5000 was designed to be easily retrofitted with existing S4000CH, S4000TH, and TS4000H
wiring. When replacing an existing S4000CH, S4000TH, or TS4000H with the equivalent S5000 US
sensor technology, the following items need to be checked in order for the S5000 to operate:
1) Wire gauge needs to be 18-14 AWG
2) Sufficient power must be supplied to the S5000 in accordance with the maximum wire lengths.
(See tables 1-6)
If these requirements are met, performance of the S5000 should meet the noise immunity stan-
dard equivalent of the S4000CH, S4000TH, and TS4000H using the existing wiring; However, the
installation may not meet the latest EMC EN50270 noise immunity standard that the S5000 meets
with the grounding and wiring scheme as indicated in this manual and corresponding I/O drawing.

General Monitors S5000 24

 Installation

3.6.3 Electrical Hardware Requirements

Braided shielded, twisted pair, instrument quality wire or cable should be used to minimize the
possibility of noise interference and contact with other voltages. Selection of shielded cable must
comply with local requirements.
Conduit, in addition to braided shielded wire, may also be needed in areas where a large amount
of electrical noise is expected. All cable shields should be terminated to earth ground at one end
only.
The S5000 has a four-wire power terminal, one four-wire communication terminal, and three four-
wire sensor terminals. Relays can be added as an option. Terminals for power and relays can take
wires up to 12 AWG while all other terminals take wires up to 14 AWG. Four conductors are also
required for the S5000 remote junction boxes.
Incoming power and signal cables should be a braided shield cable such as Alpha Wire 3248 or
equivalent. The braided shield must be terminated to the instrument housing with a 360 degree
connection to earth ground as shown in Fig. 33, or alternatively, the earth ground at the user’s
power source location.
An external Class 2 power supply is required to supply 12-30 VDC to the S5000. Incoming power
and signal cables should be a braided shield cable such as Alpha Wire 3248 or equivalent.

3.6.4 Power Load Requirements and Maximum Mounting Distances

Consider future needs when selecting cable size and power supply. The maximum distance
between the S5000 transmitter and the power supply depends on the sensor configuration
(sensing technology and one or two sensors), wire gauge, and the power supply voltage. The
table below outlines the maximum transmitter mounting distances. First determine if the sensor(s)
will be locally or remotely mounted. Then choose sensor type(s). The corresponding maximum
power and mounting distances by wire gauge are shown.

3.6.6 Relay Electrical and Power Connections

Relay Board Stack Overview
The S5000 can be purchased with three relays. Two of the relays can be configured for either de-
energized (default) or energized and latching or non-latching. The third relay is a dedicated fault
relay.
All electrical connections to internal relays can be made directly on the PC board. The board is
labeled for Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) de-energized state.

Tab. 8 Relay Specifications

If using AC power, the relay wires should not be run within the same conduit or cable tray as the
DC power supplied to the S5000 or the S5000 junction box. A separate wire entry on the device
should be used for AC power connected to the relays. The S5000 is built with an additional wire
entry to allow this.

Exceeding the volt-amp rating of the relay can cause damage to the switching contacts.

General Monitors S5000 33

 Installation

Relay Connections to Inductive Loads

If connecting the relays to motors, fluorescent lighting, or other inductive loads, it is necessary to
suppress any sparks or inductive feedback that may occur at the relay contact. These effects may
render the unit inoperative.
One way to reduce these effects is to install a Quencharc® (Part Number 630413) across the load
being switched.
Fault Relay Wiring and Configurations
The Fault relay state in non-fault operating condition is Energized and terminal connections are
supplied for Normally Closed and Normally Open.
The energized fault relay setting provides an electrical path for fail-safe relay operation. In the
event of any failure, including loss of power, the relay will change to the de-energized state to indi-
cate a fault condition.
The Fault relay state cannot be reconfigured.
Relay Energy State and Terminal Connections
The S5000 relay states are labeled for the default De-Energized state. The alarm/warning relay
energy state can be changed on the device, which will exchange the normally open and normally
closed terminals. The preferred relay energy state should be determined before making connec-
tions. Tab. 9 shows the terminal connections by energy state and is applicable to both relay 1 and
relay 2.

 Operation

4 Operation
WARNING!
Refer to section 9 "Appendix: General Certification Information" before installation and operation.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.
The S5000 Series gas monitor is factory calibrated and shipped with the most common default
options to minimize set up effort. Using sensors, the device tests the ambient air and triggers an
alarm as soon as the gas exceeds a specific concentration level.
4.1 Startup
4.1.1 Initial Startup
The first time the S5000 is powered on, the following will appear on the display:
• S5000
• Software Version No.
• Sensor Warm-up
• Wait
The S5000 will remain in Start-up mode in which the fault relay is de-energized and the analog
output is 3.5 mA by default. The time the S5000 stays in Start-up mode depends on the sensor.
Oxygen and Carbon Monoxide sensors require a 30 minute warm-up time before being fully func-
tional. The device will be in fault during the 30 minute start-up time. All other sensor start-up times
vary, the unit will be in fault for the first 2 minutes of the start-up time and the analog output signal
will be at the maintenance level (3.5 mA default).
A full calibration is recommended after one hour of a sensor being installed and acclimated to the
environmental conditions. See section 5 for calibration details.
4.1.2 Sensor Warm Up Times
WARNING!
For optimal sensor performance, allow sensors 24 hours to acclimate to application conditions
before performing an initial calibration
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.
IR400: < 10 min
H2S: < 5 min
Cat Bead: <5 min
Passive MOS: <5 min
Passive Cat Bead: <5 min
US
CO: 30 min (see note)
O2: 30 min
Carbon Monoxide sensor gas codes D10, D11, D12, and D14 may require initial warm-up periods
longer than 30 minutes. If the 30-minute warm up is over, the sensor may show a positive reading
that exceeds alarm levels. In the event of a short-term power outage, the warm-up time for carbon
monoxide gas codes D10, D11, D12, and D14 will be significantly less. See the table below to esti-
mate required warm-up time.
Reading Level < 10ppm1 < 1ppm
Time left unpowered Time to warm up

8 hours <30 min <30 min
5 days <30 min 2-4 hrs
1 month <2 hrs 6-10 hrs

Tab. 10 Warm Up Times CO

1 The minimum alarm level of all three CO senors is 10ppm. Below this level would not cause an
alarm on the device.

 Operation

4.1.3 Startup after Power Failure

If the S5000 loses power, all of the settings are saved to the internal memory. When power is
restored to the device, it will go back to the same settings as before the loss of power. To check
the settings, go through the menu or view on the X/S Connect App.
4.2 Settings
The S5000 is a tool free transmitter. The infrared EZ touch button on the face of the display can
be used to navigate through the menu structure. The button is designed for use with fingers with
a “press” and “release” action, and works best without gloves.
The button works the same as the magnet does with the S4000 menu.
Changing a value
(1) Press and hold EZ Touch button.
(2) Wait for relevant menu to scroll (each menu scrolls twice).
(3) Release to enter menu while it is scrolling.
(4) Use Press and Release function to change values.
The EZ touch interface can be disabled, but will require a password. Menu settings can also be
activated using a magnet on the General Monitors logo.
Values that are changed in the menu are saved after main setup loop “Finished”, except for sensor
range selection under sensor setup. Each menu ends with "Finished?" scrolling twice on the
display. If the button is not touched during "Finished?", the menu will begin at the start again and
scroll through the options and values again. The new values that were entered will be displayed
on the first pass.
When user exits a menu by touching "Finished?" and there isn't a second sub menu, the previous
menu will be displayed starting at the menu that had just been used.

Some instrument settings are only configurable through Bluetooth® X/S Connect App,
Modbus, or HART. See section 4.4.

Disable Sensor
When removing a sensor from the transmitter while under power, the S5000 will enter a Sensor
Missing fault condition after the two minute Swap Delay period has expired (if enabled). If
Swap Delay is disabled, the transmitter will go into Sensor Missing fault immediately after
removing the sensor from the transmitter. If the system is off at the time a sensor is removed, the
transmitter will go into fault after its startup sequence. This fault condition can be removed by
disabling the affected sensor position.
Disabling a sensor removes the fault and stops communications with the sensor, the sensor’s
reading on the display is removed, and the mA channel for that sensor position is set to 0 mA. By US
default, the S5000 has the Sensor 2 position disabled. If at any time a sensor is connected to a
position that is disabled, the device will automatically enable that sensor position.
To disable the sensor after removal:
(1) Go to Sensor Setup menu.
(2) Touch button when Disable appears on screen.
(3) Select Sensor 1 or Sensor 2.

If two sensors are installed, "Sensor Selection" will be displayed.
(3) Select the desired sensor (Sensor 1 or Sensor 2) and touch button when "Finished?" is
displayed.
The Life and Health information reports the general health of the sensor. The sensor Life and
Health can either be "Good" or "Fair". When sensor status turns to "Fair", the remaining sensor
life is approximately 2-3 months, and a replacement sensor should be ordered to ensure conti-
nuity of gas detection.
XCell sensors with TruCal (Hydrogen Sulfide and Carbon Monoxide) calculate remaining sensor
life using automated pulse checks. The pulse stimulates the sensor with a response similar to US
having actual calibration gas applied. The stimulated response is compared to the last calibration
and will make adjustments to sensitivity to match the last calibration. When the required adjust-
ment is greater than the accuracy of the algorithm's adjustment, the sensor will call for a calibra-
tion. The pulse check tracks the overall degradation in sensitivity and will adjust the Life and
Health status from "Good" to "Fair" when loss of sensitivity is due to overall sensor health. TruCal
pulse checks will also detect when the sensor is no longer capable of sensing gas, resulting in a
Fault condition.

Catalytic bead and Oxygen sensors will show life health status as 'Good' or 'Fair' with
the following calculation:
Good condition occurs when the current calibrated span sensitivity is greater than 50%
of the way between the initial calibration sensitivity and the end of life span sensitivity.
Fair condition occurs when the current calibrated span sensitivity is less than 50% of the
way from the initial calibration sensitivity and the end of life span sensitivity.

NOTICE
Using expired calibration gas or the incorrect calibration gas can result in a premature "Fair"
status.

tooth®/HART.
The alarm direction setting for all other sensors can only be changed through Modbus/Bluetooth®/
HART.
4.4.5 Alarm Enable/Disable
Users can disable alarms by changing this setting.
Default value is Enabled for this setting.
Users can change this setting to Enabled or Disabled.
5 Calibration
Calibration is the process of applying a known quantity of gas to the transmitter so that the trans-
mitter can adjust the precision and accuracy of the measurements made in normal operating
mode. This process ensures that gas measurements are as accurate as possible.
Calibration Warnings - Read before Calibrating
Although S5000 sensors are factory calibrated, another calibration is recommended once the unit
is installed in its final environmental destination.

WARNING!
Use zero gas when zeroing the S5000 transmitter if there is any possibility of background gas.
Otherwise, improper calibration could occur.
For optimal sensor performance, allow sensor to acclimate to application conditions for 24 hours
before performing an initial calibration.
Perform calibrations 24 hours after initial start up and at a frequency identified in Section 5.2 and
5.3.
Failure to follow the above warnings can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.

5.1 Calibration Equipment

A gas cylinder with a known concentration of gas appropriate for the range of measurement is
needed. Sensors come with preset span gas values appropriate for the measurement range.
All of the calibration hardware for XCell sensors is included in a convenient calibration kit. It US
includes a carrying case that can fit two cylinders, a 1 L/min regulator, tubing, and any other
accessories required for each sensor type. The calibration kit can be ordered separately
(CALKIT1) or as a single line item with the gas cylinder. See Tab. 19 for a complete list of calibra-
tion cylinders.
The Digital Toxic, Oxygen, and Catalytic Bead sensors share the same sensor body design and
use the same calibration hardware. The calibration kit for IR400 sensors is ordered separately
(1400270-2) and contains a regulator, tubing, and other calibration accessories specific to the
IR400.
Passive sensors use different calibration hardware to accommodate the different sized sensor
housing. Passive MOS sensors can be calibrated with either calibration gas cylinders or ampules.
See Tab. 19 for part number details.

The sensor guard and rubber calibration cap should be removed after calibration.

5.2 Calibration Frequency
The frequency of calibration gas testing depends on the operating time, chemical exposure, and
type of sensor. Especially in new installations or applications, it is recommended that the first
sensors be calibrated more often to establish the sensor performance in this particular environ-
ment.
For this, record the "as found" and "as left" values and track the percent adjustment over time.
Then, gradually extend calibration intervals until the percent adjustment is greater than the
expected accuracy of the sensor.

General Monitors S5000 57

 Calibration

5.3 Calibration Frequency for XCell Sensors with TruCal (H2S & CO only)
XCell sensors with TruCal actively self-monitor for operation and accuracy with fewer manual cali-
brations required in order to maintain the equivalent level of performance. When the sensor
detects a change in sensitivity outside what is typical for a six hour time interval, the sensor will
call for a calibration. The transmitter LED status indicators slowly pulse green, alerting the user
that a calibration is recommended to maintain optimum performance. There are no changes to the
analog output when TruCal calls for a manual calibration.
Actual TruCal sensor performance will depend on the application, background gas exposure, and
environment. To validate XCell sensors with TruCal, it is recommended that users follow their
regular calibration cycle and record the “as found” and “as left” values, tracking the percent adjust-
ment over time. Once a baseline is established, the calibration intervals can be extended until the
percent adjustment is greater than the expected accuracy of the sensor.
5.4 Calibration Types: Zero vs. Span
There are two types of calibration; zero and span calibration.
The zero calibration resets the baseline level reading to zero. If the target gas is suspected to be
occasionally present, it is best to also use a zero gas cylinder during the zero calibration. If the
target gas is not present in the atmosphere, an additional calibration cylinder is not required.
The span calibration is a process that involves first zeroing the baseline reading, then applying a
known amount of target gas so that the accuracy and precision of the transmitter can be adjusted
to the known value. The known concentration of gas is called a "Span Value" because it
represents the span or reach of the calibration curve from zero to that value.

In the event that a calibration cannot be completed, the user can acknowledge the FAIL
by pressing the EZ touch button or applying magnet to the GMI logo area until "Reset"
is displayed and then release. The unit will revert to the settings of the last successful
calibration.

WARNING!
The regulator used with the zero gas cylinders should not be the same as the regulator used for
the target gas. The zero gas regulator can be contaminated with the target gas over time, and thus
raise the detection baseline and make the sensor less sensitive to the target gas.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.

If there is no target gas in the atmosphere around the sensor, using a zero gas cylinder
is optional.

To zero calibrate the sensor:

(1) Screw the sensor guard to the bottom of the sensor housing.
(2) Place the green calibration cap over the sensor guard inlet so that it is flush with the bottom
of the sensor guard and completely covers the sensor guard inlet.
(3) Attach the tubing to the plastic stem protruding through the green calibration cap.
(4) Screw the regulator onto the top of the zero gas cylinder.

If a password is enabled, you will need to enter it to access the menu system.

(5) Press EZ touch until Zero is displayed, and release.

(6) Once the screen displays Zero in Progress, turn on zero gas flow by turning knob on the US
regulator.
(7) Wait while the device displays Zero in Progress.
(8) Once the zero calibration is complete, a Zero PASS or FAIL is displayed.
If PASS displays, the procedure is complete.
If FAIL displays, the procedure was unsuccessful (see section 6.4).
(9) Remove the zero calibration equipment from the device including the sensor guard and cali-
bration cap.

WARNING!
The green Calibration Cap must be removed from the sensor after a zero calibration. Failure to
do so could restrict gas flow to the sensor and result in erroneously low readings.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.

5.7 How to Calibrate an Oxygen XCell Sensor

An oxygen span gas cylinder is not needed if the sensor is in an area that maintains ambient air
conditions. Follow the same process for XCell sensors as described in section 5.6. When the
display prompts "Apply Span Gas", simply allow the countdown to occur without applying gas.
If the sensor is located in an area of normally low or enriched oxygen, then a 20.8% oxygen
sample must be applied.
5.8 How to Calibrate an IR400 Sensor
A full span calibration is not required for the IR400 sensors. Any degradation of the sensor's
performance is associated with slight drifts in its zero response. Restoring the sensor's zero is
typically sufficient.
See section 5.5 for zero calibration instructions.

If a full calibration of the IR400 sensor is required, a larger calibration cap is used and
covers the entire sensor guard during calibration. The calibration cap must be removed
after completing the zeroing and/or spanning procedure.

5.9 How to Calibrate a Passive Sensor (Catalytic Bead or MOS)

WARNING!
The sensor calibration cup must be removed from the sensor after calibration. Failure to do so
could restrict gas flow to the sensor and result in erroneously low readings.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.

If a password is enabled, you will need to enter it to access the menu system.

If the sensor is fitted with a sensor guard, calibration must be performed with the sensor
guard in place.

If it is suspected that gases are present, it will be necessary to purge the sensor envi-
ronment with zero air.

To calibrate sensor:
(1) Attach a regulator to the zero air cylinder (if using) and the calibration cylinder.
US
(2) Attach the plastic calibration cup (P/N 1400152-1 or 1400154) to the bottom of the sensor if

 Maintenance

(13) Turn off the calibration gas regulator. Remove the calibration equipment from the device,
including the sensor guard and calibration cap. Unit will return to normal operation.
If “Cal Fail” and fault code displayed, the procedure was unsuccessful. See section 6.4.
5.10 XCell Catalytic Bead Failsafe
Catalytic bead sensors require the presence of oxygen in order to sense combustible gas. In the
event of very large combustible gas leaks that exceed 100 % LEL, enough oxygen can be
displaced so that the sensor's response to gas is no longer proportional to the calibration profile.
The XCell catalytic bead has a locking fail safe mechanism that prevents the false reporting of a
safe condition while the % LEL concentration is still above 100 % LEL. When the gas concentra-
tion exceeds 100 % LEL, the sensor will go into LOC over range.
To clear the LOC over rage, the user needs to acknowledge and calibrate the sensor. To acknowl-
edge LOC over range, press the EZ touch button or apply magnet to the GMI logo area until
"Reset" is displayed and then release. This will allow a recalibration of the sensor to clear the LOC
condition.

WARNING!
Ensure that the area has been cleared of gas before acknowledging the LOC Over Range and
recalibrating the sensor.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.

5.11 Calibration Confirmation

The S5000 Series Monitor records the date of the last successful calibration. This date can then
be displayed via the Status Menu.

 Maintenance

6.1 IR400 Cleaning Procedure

The presence of particulate matter, oil films, liquid water, or the residue from water drops on the
two monitor windows can adversely affect its performance. The sensor guard is designed to
prevent foreign solids or liquids from reaching the monitor's optical system. Additionally, heating
elements are incorporated into the device to prevent water condensation. Under severe condi-
tions, however, some material may collect on these surfaces and it may be necessary to occa-
sionally check and clean the windows.
While both windows are made of a highly durable material that is not easily scratched, avoid
excessive pressure when cleaning them. Clean, cotton-tipped applicators are the most convenient
tool to remove material collected on the windows.
(1) Remove the sensor guard.
(2) Use a dry applicator or one moistened with distilled water to wipe the window and remove
dust.
(3) Use an additional clean, dry applicator to remove any residual water.
(4) Use an applicator moistened with isopropyl alcohol to remove heavy deposits of solids,
liquids or oil films. Clean the window again with a second applicator moistened with distilled
water; then, dry the window with a final applicator.
Avoid using excessive amounts of water or alcohol in the cleaning procedure, and inspect
the window to ensure that the entire surface is clean.
(5) The device will go into a “Cleaning required” fault with an analog output of 2.0 mA when
cleaning is needed.
The S5000 analog output may go down to 1.25 mA while the optical path is blocked, and
display will indicate “Beam Block”.

While in "Beam Block" fault, the sensor will not respond to the presence of gas.

(6) When cleaning is done and the objects are removed from the sensor window, the device
returns to normal operation. If water or isopropyl alcohol was used, allow the device to
operate for 15 minutes to completely dry before replacing the sensor guard continuing to
monitor for combustible gas.
(7) Replace the sensor guard.

When the cleaning process is complete, be sure to remove all objects from the light US
path. It is recommended to check the sensor’s response to zero and calibration gas after
cleaning.

WARNING!
Do not place foreign objects in the sensor's analytical region (except per the “S5000 IR400
Cleaning Procedure” as described above); otherwise, the infrared beam can be partially blocked,
causing the sensor to generate false readings. All objects must be removed from the sensor's
analytical region for it to function properly.
Failure to follow the above warning can result in serious personal injury or loss of life.

General Monitors S5000 63

 Maintenance

6.2 Replacing an XCell Sensor

The only routine maintenance item is the sensor, which has a limited lifetime. The S5000 sensors
with TruCal technology will indicate when the sensor is near end of life through the Status Menu.
When the Sensor Life & Health status is "Fair", there is approximately 2 month time frame to
replace the sensor before it will no longer function. Actual time between “Fair” status and sensor
end of life depends on exact environmental conditions. When a TruCal sensor is no longer
capable of sensing it will go into fault and LEDs will flash yellow. It is good practice to obtain a
replacement sensor before the sensor within the unit becomes inoperative.
There is no need to open the main enclosure. Simply unscrew the sensor assembly located on
the bottom of the main assembly.

WARNING!
 Do not disassemble the sensor assembly. The sensing element inside may contain hazardous
material.
 Handle the sensor carefully; the electrochemical version is a sealed unit which contains a
corrosive electrolyte.
 Any leaked electrolyte that comes in contact with skin, eyes or clothes can cause burns.
 If any contact with the electrolyte does occur, immediately rinse with a large quantity of water.
On contact with the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water for 15 minutes and consult a doctor.
 Do not install a leaking sensor in the sensing head assembly.
 A leaking sensor must be disposed of in accordance with local, state and federal laws.
 As part of the product certification, it was verified that optional communication functions of this
gas detection instrument while operating at the maximum transaction rate do not adversely
affect the gas detection operation and functions of the instrument. The product certification,
however, does not include or imply approval of the SafeSwap feature, communications
protocol or functions provided by the software of this instrument or of the communications
apparatus and software connected to this instrument.
 Follow the warnings below when removing or replacing sensors. Reference 2.10 for compo-
nent overview.
- Never remove or replace a Sensor Body Assembly or an IR400 while under power or when
explosive hazards are present.
- Confirm that the area is free of explosive hazards before removing or replacing an XCell
Sensor under power.
- To remove an XCell Sensor, unscrew XCell Sensor three full turns, wait 10 seconds, and then
remove the XCell Sensor completely.

Failure to follow the above warnings can result in serious personal injury or loss of life. US

 Maintenance

6.3 Replacing a Passive Sensor (Cat Bead or MOS)

When the passive Catalytic Bead or MOS sensor is damaged or gradually losing sensitivity and
eventually fails to respond to gas adequately or fails to pass calibration, the sensor needs to be
replaced.
The mounting threads of the sensor head may require lubrication. Grease must not be used. As
an alternate, PTFE (Teflon) tape may be used on sensor threads.
To replace the passive sensors:
(1) Declassify the area and make sure there is no hazardous gas/vapor present.
(2) Power down the S5000 transmitter.
(3) Unscrew the lid.
(4) Remove the User Interface Module.
(5) Refer to the sensor wiring diagram label inside the S5000 transmitter to locate the sensor
connector and unplug it from the transmitter.
(6) Unscrew the sensor head until it is totally off. Guide the sensor wires so they will not get
caught by the internal parts of the S5000 while sensor head is turning.
(7) Guide the connector and wires of the new sensor head through the conduit entry for sensor.
Do not plug in the sensor connector at this time.
(8) Screw in the new sensor head. Guide the sensor wires so they will not get caught by the
internal parts of the S5000 while sensor head is turning.
(9) Verify the sensor connector wiring against the wiring diagram.
(10) Plug in the connector to the indicated header and make sure they are mated correctly.

 Appendix: HART Specific Information

10 Appendix: HART Specific Information

The S5000 Gas Monitor is available with an optional HART (Highway Addressable Remote Trans-
ducer) output communications protocol. With this option, the S5000 complies with HART Protocol
Revision 7 and uses the 16-bit manufacturer and device codes. This document specifies all the
device specific features and documents HART Protocol implementation details (e.g., the Engi-
neering Unit Codes supported). These specifications assume the reader is somewhat familiar with
HART Protocol requirements and terminology.
This specification is a technical reference for HART-capable HOST Application Developers,
System Integrators and knowledgeable End Users. It also provides functional specifications (e.g.,
commands, enumerations and performance requirements) used during Field Device deployment,
maintenance, testing, and operations. It is recommended that the 4-20 mA output be the primary
gas monitoring signal. The HART signal can be the secondary method.
