NOTE

The controller has a power-up time delay to allow 
the sensor output to stabilize before beginning 
normal operation.  During this time the outputs 
are inhibited, the FAULT LED is illuminated, and 
the current output indicates a fault condition.  
The controller automatically exits the time delay 
mode after 5 minutes have elapsed or as soon as 
the sensor output no longer exceeds any alarm 
setpoints.

5.  Put the controller in the Setpoint Display mode 

to determine the present alarm setpoints and 
calibration gas concentration.  If changes are 
required, perform the Setpoint Adjustment proce-
dure.

6.  Perform the calibration procedure.

7.  Check the 4 to 20 ma current loop for proper cali-

bration and adjust as required.

8.  Remove mechanical blocking devices (if used) 

and restore power to the output loads.

SETPOINT ADJUSTMENT

The adjustment range in ppm for the alarm setpoints 
and calibration gas concentration is as follows:

The factory settings in ppm are:

To 

check

 the present levels, use the “Setpoint Display 

Mode” described below.  To 

change

 the values, use 

the “Setpoint Adjustment Procedure.”

SETPOINT DISPLAY MODE

1.  To enter the Setpoint Display mode, press and 

hold the RESET button until the Low LED begins 
to blink (approximately one second).  Release 
the RESET button.  The low alarm setpoint will be 
shown for two seconds on the digital display.

NOTE

The RESET button should be released as soon 
as the controller has entered the Setpoint Display 
mode (after one second).  If the button is still 
depressed at the end of the Setpoint Display mode 
(9 seconds), the controller will automatically enter 
the Calibrate mode.  If the operator is not prepared 
to perform a calibration, a calibration fault will 
occur.  Recycle power to the controller to exit the 
Calibrate mode without affecting the calibration 
settings.

2.  At the end of the two second interval, the Low 

LED goes out, the High LED begins to blink, and 
the digital display shows the high alarm setpoint.

3.  Two seconds later the High LED goes out and 

the Auxiliary LED blinks.  The digital display now 
shows the programmed auxiliary alarm setpoint.

4.  Two seconds later the Auxiliary LED goes out 

and the CAL LED blinks.  The digital display now 
shows the programmed calibration gas concen-
tration.

5.  After displaying the calibration gas concentra-

tion for two seconds, the controller automatically 
leaves the Setpoint Display mode and returns to 
the Normal operating mode.

6.  If adjustments to the setpoints are required, per-

form the Setpoint Adjustment procedure.  When 
the setpoint levels are acceptable, record this 
information for future reference and perform the 
Calibration

 

procedure.

SETPOINT ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

1.  Determine the required alarm setpoint levels and 

calibration gas concentration.

2.  Press and hold the SET button for one second.  

The digital display indicates the present low 
alarm setpoint and the Low LED blinks.  Press the 
RESET button to increase the reading or the SET 
button to decrease the reading.  (Holding the but-
ton will cause the reading to change rapidly.)

3.  When no changes to the setpoint level have been 

made for 5 seconds, the Low LED goes out, the 
High LED blinks, and the digital display shows the 
high alarm setpoint.  Press the appropriate button 
(detailed in step 2 above) to obtain the desired 
reading on the digital display.

4.  When no changes to the setpoint level have been 

made for 5 seconds, the High LED goes out, the 
Auxiliary LED blinks, and the digital display shows
