Model TS420 Quick Start Guide v Intrinsically Safe Barriers In order for the TS420 to be used with cl assified equipment inside of the hazardous area, it is necessary for the customer to purchase either a Galvanic or Zener Diode Ba rrier, which should be mounted in the non-classified area betwee n the TS420 and the facilities’ control room. A lis[...]

Model TS420 Quick Start Guide vi NOTE - Power must remain disconnected until all wiring co nnections are made. The absolute maximum distance betwee n the TS420 and the power supply is 8000 feet (243 8 meters). Depending on the application, general pu rpose o r intrinsically safe, the cable length will depend on the intrinsically safe barrier chosen[...]

Model TS420 Quick Start Guide vii 3. Calibrate the Detector. Activating the “ CAL ” switch will automati cally disable the external alarm circuits by fixing the analog output current to 3.75mA. General Monitors recommends that the T S420 be calibrated within the first twenty-four (24) hours after initial start-up, and that calibration be chec k[...]

Model TS420 Quick Start Guide viii NOTE - If the unit fails to calibrate a flashing “ MO DE ” LCD will be displayed. The sensor must see “clean” air for at least fifteen (15) minutes b efore a second calibration is attempted by reapplying the magnet. The instrument is now ready to operate!

Model TS420 7 3.4 Wiring Connections The two wires at the base of the TS420 provide a 4-20mA loop- po wered output. The red wire is the “loop +” lead and the white wire is t he “loop -” lead (Figure 4). A third gree n/yellow wire is provided for frame ground. It is recommended that a two wire, shi elded cable be used for making po wer and o[...]

Model TS420 8 4.0 Operation 4.1 Applying Power Before applying power to the system for the first time, all wiring con nections should be checked for correctness. The sensor should be all owed to stabilize prior to calibration. The stabilization time should be one (1) hou r for all sensors. Initial Power-up The TS420 has been shipped un-calibrated, [...]

Model TS420 9 4.2 Operating Modes The TS420 has four distinct operating mode s: St art-up, Normal Operation, Calibration and Fault. The mode is indicated by both the analog output and the LCD display.
