TGM8 Section 2Gas Monitor External Connections

2 - 3

External Connections

Perform all wiring and conduit installation in ac-cordance to the Canadian Electrical Code or theNational Electrical Code or to local electrical re-quirements. Use separate conduits for powerwires, relay wires and signal wires.

Remote Sensors:

A total of eight (8) remote sensors can be con-nected to the TGM8 Monitor. Sensor may be a 4-20 mA analog signal type, 2- or 3-wire connector,or RS-485 serial communications type.

The RS-485 type sensors may be of different gastype and range. The TGM8 Monitor will automati-cally adjust itself to read and interpret the RS-485sensors properly. Use shielded cable for wiringinstallation. Signal wiring must not be installed inthe same conduit with power or relay wiring. Re-fer to appropriate sensor wiring diagram (pp. 5-4,5-5, 5-6) and sensor instruction manual for moredetails.

WHEN CONNECTING THE REMOTE SENSORS,MAKE SURE THAT ALL WIRING IS CORRECTAND THE FOUR LEADS OF THE RS-485 BUSARE NOT INTERCHANGED, OR PERMANENTDAMAGE TO THE SENSOR MAY RESULT.

NOTE

MAKE SURE THAT EACH RS-485 TYPE SEN-SOR IS GIVEN A UNIQUE ADDRESS ON ITS AD-DRESS JUMPERS, OR THE TGM8 MONITORWILL NOT BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITHIT.

Relays:

Perform all wiring and conduit installation inaccordance to the Canadian Electrical Codeor the National Electrical Code or to local elec-trical requirements. Use separate conduitsfor power wires, relay wires and signal wires.

Remote Sensors:

A total of eight (8) remote sensors can beconnected to the TGM8 Monitor. Sensor maybe a 4-20 mA analog signal type, 2- or 3-wireconnector, or RS-485 serial communicationstype.

TGM8 Section 2Gas Monitor Setup & Calibration

2 - 4

Setup & Calibration

Active Points:

The number of active scanning points (same asnumber of remote sensors) can be set by the firstthree jumpers (H1-1, H1-2, H1-3). The jumpersare binary encoded. If no jumpers are inserted,then only one point (address 1) is scanned. Toscan more points, insert jumpers such that thedecimal equivalent of the binary code on H1-1,H1-2 and H1-3 plus one, equals the number ofpoints to be scanned. (Refer to Figure 3, Page 5-3).

Warning & Alarm Delays:

There is a fixed delay of five minutes availablefor both warning and alarm. This feature is se-lected with jumper H1-5. When the jumper is out,there is no delay on the warning and alarm re-lays. When the jumper is inserted, a fixed five-minute delay is imposed on the warning andalarm. In the case of the warning, this delay is anOFF delay meaning that the warning relay(s) willremain activated for five minutes after the warn-ing condition has been diminished. In the case ofthe alarm, this delay is an ON delay, meaningthat it takes five minutes for the alarm relay (andaudible device) to activate after the first alarmcondition occurs. (Refer to Figure 3, Page 5-3).

Alarm Latch:

Normally, all relays return to their inactivestate once their condition has cleared. Thealarm relay can be made to latch in the acti-vated position, even after all alarms havecleared. By inserting jumper H1-9, the alarmrelay will remain latched after all alarms clearuntil the reset button is pressed. (Refer toFigure 3, Page 5-3).

NOTE

Pressing the reset button during an alarmcondition does not affect the latching. Thereset button must be pressed after the alarmcondition has cleared in order to de-activatethe alarm relay.

Display Mode:

The display of the TGM8 is auto-ranging forall RS-485 type serial sensors. The displaymode jumpers have no effect on any RS-485type sensors. The display mode jumperstake effect only if analog sensor inputs areused. The incoming analog signals arescaled to the full scale setting of the displaymode jumpers. There are two sets of dis-play ranges available: Range A and RangeB. Jumper H1-4 selects which display rangeis active. If jumper H1-4 is OUT, Range A isselected; if jumper H1-4 is IN, Range B isselected. The following table shows the vari-ous jumper positions for the different displaymodes:

* This is a special Display Range that displaysthe first four channels (1-4) as 0-10.0 ppm andthe second four channels (5-8) as 0-100 ppm.This is useful for NO2 / CO applications.

Audible Alarm Device:

The TGM8 has two audible alarm modes. Thefirst is a solid-ON mode that sounds the audibledevice continuously while the TGM8 is in analarm state. The second is a variable-ON modethat sounds the audible device in an eight sec-ond interval pulsed fashion. The time betweenpulses is fixed, but the time of the audible alarmis determined by the amount that the alarm sen-sor is exceeding the alarm setpoint. For ex-ample, if the setpoint is at 50% and an alarmcomes in at 55%, the audible alarm would giveshort beeps every eight seconds. As the alarmlevel increases from 55% to 100%, the beepsbecome longer in duration until a solid tone ap-pears at 100%.

To select the solid-ON audible alarm mode,jumper H1-6 must be inserted. To selectthe variable-ON audible alarm mode, jumperH1-6 must be removed (Refer to Figure 3).

In both modes, pressing the reset button willsilence the audible alarm, but will not haveany effect on the alarm LED on the frontpanel or the alarm relay.

TGM8 Section 3Gas Monitor General Operation

3 - 1

Section 3General Operation

Scanning:

The TGM8 will scan each active point in sequence,starting with point one. It will scan up to the lastactive point and then repeat from point one. Aseach point is scanned, the point number and thesensor input value are displayed for two seconds.

Auto-Ranging:

The TGM8 automatically detects the type of sen-sor connected on an RS-485 bus and determinesits full scale value. All setpoints and the displayare adjusted accordingly to match the various sen-sors’ full scale levels. If an analog sensor is con-nected, the display must be manually selected forthe appropriate sensor full scale level using thedisplay mode jumpers (Refer to Section 2 DisplayMode on page 2-4).

Warning and Alarm:

The alarm function on the TGM8 is common to allpoints. Each point has individual warning relaysand discrete LED’s for Sensor OK, Warning, andAlarm. All points ar etied to a common alarm re-lay. The audible alarm will sound every time a newalarm occurs. It may be silenced by pressing thereset button on the front door of the monitor.

If the level of any or more of the active pointsexceed(s) the warning setpoint, the warning LEDfor that point will turn on and the warning relay forthat point will activate. If all active points drop be-low the warning setpoint, the warning LED will turnoff and after a delay defined by jumper H1-5, therelay will return to its inactive state.

If the level of any or more of the active pointsexceed(s) the alarm setpoint, the alarm level

LED for that point will turn on and after a de-lay defined by jumper H1-5, the relay willactivate. At the same time the relay activates,the audible alarm will sound. The audiblealarm may be silenced by pressing the resetbutton. If all active points drop below thealarm setpoint, the alarm will silence (if notsilenced already by reset button) and thealarm level relay will de-activate if jumper H1-9 is not inserted. If jumper H1-9 is insertedfor latching function, then the alarm relay willnot de-activate automatically once all activepoints drop below the alarm setpoint. Therelay will only deactivate once the reset but-ton is pressed.

Sensor Failure:

If the TGM8 loses communications with one ormore sensors, or if one or more sensors fail,that sensor OK LED will turn off and the sen-sor fail relay will activate. If an analog sensoris used and the input is between 1 mA and 3mA, the sensor OK LED will turn off and thesensor fail relay will activate. Any analog in-put below 1 mA causes the TGM8 to ignorethat analog input and treat that sensor as anRS-485 type sensor.
