Model IR2100
3.0 Detector Assembly

3.1 Signal Processing
Most gases absorb infrared radiation in specific wavelengths or bands that are
characteristic of the chemical structure of molecules in the gas. All hydrocarbon gases
absorb infrared radiation, but to differing degrees. Gases, to be infrared active, must have
an electric dipole moment.
The Model IR2100 is based on measuring absorption of infrared radiation passing through
a volume of gas. Absorption of the radiation follows the Beer-Lambert Law, which states
the transmittance T of radiation through an absorbing medium decreases exponentially by
the product of the extinction coefficient A, the concentration C and the path length L :
T = exp (-ACL)
The Model IR2100 uses a single beam,dual source, single detector measurement
absorption method. One source is optimised to a wavelength where absorption of a
specific gas (or gases) occurs (the active wavelength). The reference source is optimised
to a wavelength that is adjacent to the active wavelength but not absorbed by the gas (or
gases). By comparing the signals from these two sources the concentration of the gas can
be measured using the differential absorption technique.
This method of gas detection comes under what is commonly known as the non-dispersive
infrared (NDIR) absorption principle. The reference wavelength is chosen suitable to
compensate for any interference that can otherwise occur from atmospheric variation (e.g.
humidity, dust, snow, fog, steam, temperature, etc.).
3.2 Control Electronics
The Model IR2100 operates from a customer supplied, CE Marked nominal +24VDC
(nominal) input, which is fed to an on board power-supply that produces all of the
necessary voltages within the unit.
The microprocessor constantly monitors the infrared wavelengths and performs

mathematical operations on these values in conjunction with values obtained during the
factory set-up process.
The microprocessor generates output information and feeds it to the digital to analogue
converter to produce a 4 to 20 milliampere (mA) signal that is
proportional to the 0 to 100% LEL concentration of gas at the sensor. The microprocessor
program also monitors other conditions such as the supply voltage and the optical path
integrity.
The Model IR2100 also provides a two-wire RS485 addressable communications link
conforming to the Modbus Protocol that is used to monitor the IR2100s status and settings
in order to simplify installation and maintenance and can be used to monitor the units
status, or change the detection gas requirements.
Bridge Output Version
The Model IR2100 can be configured to simulate a Wheat stone bridge output instead of
the 4-20 mA signal, which enables the unit to be retrofitted to an existing General
Monitors smart sensor. Contact the Factory for details.

4.0 Installation
4.1 Receipt of Equipment
All equipment shipped by General Monitors is packaged in shock absorbing containers,

which provide considerable protection against physical damage. The contents should be
carefully removed and checked against the packing list. If any damage has occurred or
there is any discrepancy in the order, please notify General Monitors as soon as possible.
All subsequent correspondence with General Monitors must specify the equipment part
number and the serial number.
Each Model IR2100 is completely tested by the factory, however, a complete system
checkout is suggested upon initial installation and start-up to ensure system integrity.
Note: The Model IR2100 is factory set against the particular gas ordered by the Customer.
Where no gas is specified, Methane (CH4) is the factory standard. The unit may be
changed to detect another gas via RS485 comms link or by returning to General Monitors
Representative or the Factory.The gasses the unit can be changed to are:
Methane, Propane, Ethane, Hexane, n-Butane, Pentane and Methane 100% Volume.
NOTE: The indications shown in the table for cross sensitivity to other gasses is only a
guide as General Monitors recommends the unit should be calibrated for the specific gas.
Calibration Gas %LEL Methane Propane Ethane Hexane n-Butane Pentane % Vol CH4
methane 50 LEL 50 99 188 40 88 72 317
propane 50 LEL 25 50 94 20 44 36 159
NOTE: If the Model IR2100 is to be installed at altitudes greater than 1000 ft

(308m), it must be re-calibrated on-site.
4.2 Detector Location Considerations
There are no standard rules for detector placement, since the optimum detector location
varies with the application. The customer must evaluate conditions at the facility to make
this determination. If practical, the Model IR2100 Infrared Point Detector should be easily
accessible for occasional integrity checks. The unit should be mounted horizontally so that
dirt and dust do not build up on the windows. Although the Model IR2100 Infrared Point
Detector is RFI resistant, it should not be mounted close to radio transmitters or similar
equipment.
NOTE - Hydrogen (H2) gas cannot be detected by the Model IR2100.
Some other factors to consider when selecting a detector location:

Emission temperature and vapour density of the gas. The Model IR2100 should be located
near the floor for gas vapours, which are heavier than air.
Locate the Model IR2100 where prevailing air currents contain the maximum concentration
of gas.
Locate the Model IR2100 as near as possible to the likely source of a gas leak.
Observe the temperature range of the Model IR2100 and locate the unit away from
concentrated sources of heat or light.
Mount the Model IR2100 away from sources of excessive vibration.
A hood should be placed over the Model IR2100 in outdoor applications to prevent sunlight
and heavy rain from striking the unit.
16 / 125
Model IR2100
The Model is not affected by typical environmental poisons (but see note below) and is
suitable for use in an O2 deficient area.
The baffle design also ensures that gas readings are immune to air velocity, wind etc.
Note: Acetic acid will cause damage to metal components, metal hardware, ceramics ICs
etc. If damage results from the use of a sealant that outgases acetic acid (RTV silicone),
the normal two year warranty will be void.
4.3 Mounting and Orientation
The Model IR2100 should be mounted horizontally (see Figure 3) to reduce the likelihood
of dirt and dust build-up on the windows. For optimum performance, the splashguards
should be located on the top and bottom as shown in Figure 3. Apply the supplied thread
lubricant/sealant to all conduit entries before use to prevent binding.
4.4 Wiring Connections

continuously monitor for leaks of hydrocarbon gas, a power switch is not included to
prevent accidental system shut down.
NOTE: Power should remain disconnected until all other wiring connections are
made.
The maximum distance between the Model IR2100 and the power source is specified in
the Appendix (see Section 2.3)
Power Connections
To connect the +24VDC to the Model IR2100 use the red lead from the IR2100 and
connect to the +24VDC source. Connect the black lead from the IR2100 to the power
supply Common. Refer to the manual of the power source being used, for more detailed
instructions. This customer supplied power supply must comply with IEC 1010-1 for CE
Marking compliance.

An internal diode protects the system in the event of inadvertent supply reversal.
4- 20mA Output
A 4 to 20mA output signal is provided by the Model IR2100 and can be sent to a General
Monitors read-out/relay display module or any industrial device that can accept a 4 to
20mA signal, for computer based multi-point monitoring. The Analogue
Output connection provides a signal for use in displaying current LEL readings, special
operation or fault conditions. The maximum distance between the Model IR2100 and the
device connected to the Analogue Output Signal is specified in the Appendix.
Connect the white lead from the IR2100, to the signal in terminal of the input unit (display
module)
Connect the black lead from the IR2100, to the device Common. The Common connection
serves both the Analogue Signal and the Power connections.
The Green lead from the IR2100 can be connected to Earth stud, (or Safety Earth) on
Junction Box, which is in turn connected to cable armour.
To connect the RS485 output, the blue lead from the IR2100 is connected to the RS485
BUSS+ terminal and the blue/white lead is connected to the RS485 BUSS-terminal on the
customers RS485 capable device.
18 / 125
Model IR2100
Cable Termination in the non-hazardous area
The interconnecting cables must have an overall screen and armour. Cables to BS5308
Part 2 or equivalent are suitable. Note that the terms screen and shield are equivalent for
the purpose of this manual. The cable armour must be terminated in a suitable cable gland
at the detector to ensure a positive electrical connection. The Green wire from Model
IR2100 should be connected to Earth stud on continuity plate of GM housing or to internal
Earthing point if using a non-GM Junction Box.
General Monitors do not recommend the use of cable shoes or crimps on any junction box
or housing wiring terminals. Poor crimping can cause bad connection when unit
experiences temperature variations. We therefore would recommend the following:
The cable armour must be connected to safety earth in the safe area.
The cable screen (drain wire) must be connected to an instrument earth in the safe
area.
The power supply OV return must be connected to an instrument earth in the safe
area.
The interconnecting cables should be segregated from power and other noisy
cables. Avoid proximity to cables associated with radio transmitters, welders, switch
mode power supplies, inverters, battery chargers, ignition systems, generators, high
power switching process equipment. Avoid running instrument cable trenches close
to lightning conductor earthing pits.
Complete all cable insulation testing before connecting the cable at either end.

4.5 Applying Power
Before applying power to the system for the first time, all wiring connections should be
checked for correctness. Upon initial power-up or after a fault condition has been
corrected, the unit will enter a start-up mode for 120 seconds before returning to normal
operation (Analogue output will be 0 mA).
After power is applied, the Model IR2100 should be allowed to stabilize for approximately
60 minutes while the unit attains its proper operating temperature.
After stabilization, it is recommended that the Model IR2100 be zeroed, per the procedure
in Section 5.1 (step 1 only). A gas check should then be performed to ensure that the unit
is operating properly. Use the General Monitors Gas Check Kit (P/N 31468) to perform this
check. If the unit does not respond properly, calibrate per the procedure in Section 4.1
(steps 1-4).
a) When connecting the Model IR2100 to a safety system, the +24V (Red) wire should be
the last wire connected and first wire disconnected when removing unit to protect the
system from shorting.
B) If the analogue (4-20 mA) output is not used, then the white signal wire must be
connected to ground to prevent a fault condition.
Note: Where customer requires unit to detect a different gas from that which unit has been
factory calibrated to, then the IR2100 must be re-calibrated by General Monitors personnel
or authorised representatives.

5.0 Operation
5.1 Zeroing of IR2100
The Model IR2100 also provides a lead for the connection of a +24VDC powered EExd
approved magnetic switch. This switch is available in 316 Stainless Steel with an M20
thread. The switch can be fitted to a General Monitors supplied Junction Box.
Special conditions for safe use of General Monitors Ex. Approved Zero Switch
The Zero Switch, where used, must be mounted in a suitably certified enclosure or
enclosure wall, and its flying leads terminated at Ex e terminals, also within a
suitably certified enclosure.
The electrical supply to the Zero Switch must not exceed the following values:
Rated Input Voltage = 24V

Rated Input Current = 22mA
The Zero Switch must be supplied from apparatus which provides protection against short
circuit currents of up to 4000A.
The Brown lead from the IR2100 is connected to the powered side of the switch so that
Brown lead is grounded when switch is activated via magnet.
Alternatively, the Brown lead may be grounded for 10 to 15 seconds.
The Zeroing eliminates any background gas fluctuations. See below.
1. Apply the General Monitors magnet, which was included with the unit, to the Magnetic
switch Assembly for approximately three seconds. The LED in the switch will light to
show proper placement. Remove the magnet and the LED will flash on for one second
and off for one second to indicate that the unit is attaining a zero value.
2. When the unit has finished zeroing, the LED will turn on and flash off quickly once per
second for 30 seconds. If a complete gas check is required, apply the magnet and the
unit will enter gas check mode (if the magnet is not applied, the unit will return to
normal operation). The LED will flash off quickly once every half second while the unit
is waiting for gas to be applied.
3. Apply 50% LEL* calibration gas. When the unit is seeing gas, the LED will flash on for
a half second every one and one-half seconds.
4. Once gas check has been completed, the LED will turn on and flash off once every
second. Remove the gas and the unit will return to normal operation once the gas has
fallen below 5% LEL.
* or 50% and 5% by volume for those units specifically designed for monitoring 0 to
100% by volume.
Note on Methane EU Gas: Users should be aware that these instruments may have
100% LEL of 4.4% by Volume. Methane Calibration level is
2.2% by Volume. See Section 2.4 for Unit part#s

5.2 Maintenance
Although the Model IR2100 is calibrated at the factory and fails-to-safe, periodic cleaning
and integrity tests are required to ensure proper operation. The windows should be
cleaned by gently wiping them with a soft, clean cloth, which has a cleaning solution (P/N
10272-1) applied. Integrity checks can be performed using the General Monitors Gas
Check Kit (P/N 31468).
General Monitors recommends that a maintenance logbook be kept for each unit in
operation. Since maintenance requirements will vary with each installation, this
maintenance record will help to develop an efficient schedule for periodic maintenance.
NOTE: Gassing into the screened splashguard will not provide a stable or accurate
reading.
Warning - Do not clean the windows while the unit is zeroing or in recalibration mode.
The unit must be re-zeroed after the windows have been cleaned.
If an optical fault still occurs after cleaning and re-zeroing is complete, the unit must be
returned to the factory for service. The reverse is also the case.

Model IR2100
5.3 Communications
The Model IR2100 has built-in serial communications in the form of a half- duplex RS- 485
digital serial interface designed to conform with EIA-485 specifications.
The format is in binary data transferred at 9600 baud with 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit
and no parity.
General Monitors has available a Windows-based program that allows the user to
configure the IR2100 for use in their facility. The customer must provide access to the RS-
485 bus by way of a PLC or other controlling device (bus master) with communications
software programmed to provide the following information to the Model IR2100.
The bus master sends a command message to the Model IR2100, which is comprised of
5 bytes of data in the following for mat. The first byte is the address of the slave device
(IR2100). The second byte is the Command Word (see page 18). The third byte is the
Command Data. The last two bytes are a 16-bit checksum calculated by performing a 16-
bit addition of the first three bytes of the message and placing the result in the check sum
bytes.
A 1" in the most significant bit of the Command Word (byte 2), tells the Model IR2100 to
change its settings to those given in the Command Data (byte 3).
A 0" in the most significant bit of the Command Word (byte 2), tells the Model IR2100 to
return its current settings. In this case the Command Data (byte 3) will be all 0s.
The Model IR2100 then responds by sending back a 5-byte message in the following
format. The first byte is the address of the Model IR2100. The second byte is an echo of
the Command Word sent by the bus master. The third byte is
the data requested by the Command Word. The last two bytes are the 16- bit check sum.
NOTE: Users not using RS485 bus on installed IR2100s cannot change detection gas
without returning unit to GM Factory or local Representative.

6.0 Exception Responses and

Exception Codes
6.1 Exception Response
In a normal communications query and response, the master device sends a query and
the unit receives the query without a communications error and handles it normally within
the master devices allowable timeout. The unit then returns a normal response to the
master. Abnormal communications produce one of four possible events.
1. If the unit does not receive the query due to a communications error, then no
response is returned and the master device will eventually process a timeout
condition for the query.
2. If the unit receives the query, but detects a communication error (CRC, etc.), then no
response is returned and the master device will eventually process a timeout
condition for the query.
3. If the unit receives the query without a communications error, but cannot process the
response to the master within the masters timeout setting, then no response is
returned and the master device will eventually process a timeout condition from the
query. In order to prevent this condition from occurring the maximum
response time for the unit is 200 milliseconds. Therefore the Masters Timeout
Setting should be set to 200 milliseconds or greater.
4. If the unit receives the query without a communications error, but cannot process it
due to reading or writing to a non-existent command register, then the unit will return
an exception response message informing the master of the error.
The exception response message (ref. No. 4 above) has two fields that differentiate it
from a normal response:
1st Slave address 1-247*(Decimal) ID (Address)

nd
2 Function Code 83 or 86 (Hex) MSB is set with Function
Code
3rd Exception Code 01-06 (Hex) Appropriate Exception Code
(See below)
* Note: Address 0 is reserved for broadcast mode and will not be supported at this time
33 / 125
6.2 Exception Codes
Exception Code Field:

In normal response, the unit returns data and status in the data field, which was
requested in the query from the master. In an exception response, the unit returns an
exception code in the data field, which describes the condition that caused the exception.
Below is a list of exception codes that are supported:
Code Name Description
01 Illegal Function The function code received in the query is not an

allowable action.
02 Illegal Data Address The data address received in the query is not an
allowable address.
03 Illegal Data Value A value contained in the query data field is not an
allowable value.
04 Slave Device Failure An unrecoverable error occurred while the unit was
attempting to perform the requested action.
05 Acknowledge The request has been accepted and is being

processed, but a long duration of time will be
required to do so. This response is returned to
prevent a timeout error from occurring in the
master.
06 Device Busy The unit is engaged in processing a long-duration

program command. The master should retransmit
the message later when the slave is free.

38 / 125
8.8 LED Disable (07H)

When the LED is disabled the LED driver is disabled from blinking error codes etc; it then
can be used to drive a solenoid, thus, the serial bus can activate the solenoid to apply cal
gas. A write command enables/disables the normal LED function. The solenoid function
cannot be used until the LED function is disabled.
Function Value (Decimal) Access
Disable Normal Function 1 Read/Write

Enable Normal Function 0 Read/Write

Function) is returned. If an EEPROM error occurs, then the Exception
Code 04 (Slave Device Failure) is returned.
8.9 Solenoid On/Off (08H)

This feature is used for calibration check. In this situation the LED driver is used as a
Solenoid Driver. See LED Disable.
A write command turns the solenoid output On or Off. A read returns the status of the
solenoid output; if the LED is not disabled, a value of 30 will be returned.
Function Value (Decimal) Access
On 10 Read/Write
Off 20 Read/Write
Normal Operation 30 Read
Exception: If a value other than 10 or 20 is used, then the Exception Code 03 is

returned. If an EEPROM error occurs, then the Exception Code 04 (Slave
Device Failure) is returned.
8.10 Address (09H)

A read returns the address of the unit. A write changes the address to the requested
address. The range of the address is 1 to 247.
Exception: If the EEPROM write fails, and Exception Code 04 (Slave Device
Failure) is returned.
NOTE: By activating the magnetic switch input during power-up (10 seconds), the
Address will default to 1.
8.11 Adjusted Ratio (0AH)

A read returns the unprocessed input data from the unit indicating that it is receiving gas
during calibration. This data is assigned a 15-bit integer.
10
39 / 125
8.12 Baud Rate (0BH)

A read returns the baud rate of the IR2100. A write changes the baud rate to the
requested baud rate. After the baud rate has been changed to the addressed unit, the
Modbus communications will cease because the rate has been changed; therefore the
master will have to change its baud rate to the slaves new baud rate in order to restart
the communications.
Baud Rate Low Data Byte Access
9600 02 Read/Write
4800 01 Read/Write
2400 00 Read/Write
This function is indicated on the Low Data Byte and the High Data Byte is not used.
Exception: If the baud rate is not in range, an illegal data value (03) is returned.
Note: By activating the magnetic switch during power-up (10 seconds), the Baud Rate
will default to 9600.
8.13 Data Format (0CH)

A read returns the data format of the unit. A write will change the data format to the
requested data format. After the data format has been changed, the addressed unit may
cease communicating or start producing comm errors because the data format has
changed; therefore the master will have to change its data format to the slaves new data
format in order to allow proper communications.
Data Parity Stop Format Low Data Byte Access
8 None 1 8-N-1 00 Read/Write

8 Even 1 8-E-1 01 Read/Write

Quick-Start Guide
2.0 Quick Start Guide

All equipment shipped by General Monitors is pre-packed in shock absorbing
containers which provide protection against physical damage (original containers
should be kept for future shipping or storage needs).
Shipping container contents should be carefully removed and checked against the
packing list. If any damage has occurred or there is any discrepancy in the order,
please notify General Monitors as soon as possible.
All correspondence with General Monitors must specify the equipment part number
and serial number.
Each unit is tested by the factory, however, a complete system check-out is suggested
upon initial installation to ensure system integrity.
2.2 Location Considerations

There are no standard rules for placement, since the optimum location varies with
each application.
Some factors to consider when selecting locations:
The system should be accessible for occasional response checks.

The Receiver Unit should be mounted so that the display is visible to aid in
alignment.
Do not mount near strong magnetic fields or degradation of performance may result.
The line of sight between the Source and Receiver Units should be free from:
Items that may block the beam (i.e. a parked truck or moveable machinery).
Interruptions caused by frequent human or animal crossings.
The units should be reasonably protected (i.e. covered by a hood if temperatures
exceed the specifications in Section 8.7.2).
The units are RFI resistant, but should not be mounted too close to radio transmitters
or similar equipment.
Mount the Receiver unit so that direct sunlight does not enter the front window.
Locate the units away from concentrated sources of heat.
Mount away from sources of excessive vibration and away from high voltage/high
current power lines.
If the path length is less than 15 meters (<50 feet), an aperture plate is required.

Quick-Start Guide
2.3 IR5000 Detection Method

The Model IR5000 uses a single beam, dual wavelength method of infrared absorption
detection. One wavelength is where absorption of a specific gas (or gases) occurs,
(the absorbing wavelength) and the other wavelength is adjacent to it (the reference
wavelength) but at a wavelength not absorbed by the gas (or gases). By comparing
the signals from these two wavelengths the concentration of the gas can be measured
(i.e. differential absorption technique).
The reference wavelength is chosen to compensate for interferences that can

otherwise occur from atmospheric variation (e.g. humidity, rain, dust, snow, fog,
steam, temperature, etc.).
NOTE - Extremely dense fog, steam or interruptions of the beam by a person or

object, may cause the system to enter into a temporary beam blocked condition until
the line-of-sight clears. This condition is signaled by 1.5mA output level so as to
discriminate it from an instrument True Fault. If preferred, the menu allows a level of
0mA (Fault) to be selected.
This method of detection comes under what is commonly known as the non-dispersive
infrared (NDIR) absorption principle.
2.3.1 Measurement Scale

With the Model IR5000 Open Path System, as there is no fixed path length, the
reading is reported in concentrationmeters. The Model IR5000 reports concentrations
in the ppmmeters range (highly sensitive to low levels of hydrocarbons) and the
LELmeters range (large hazardous levels of hydrocarbons). The Model IR5000 has
one auto-ranging two-digit display, the two ranges are differentiated by lighting an LED
below the display for ppmmeters and above the display for LELmeters. In general, an
open path monitor can give similar responses to large, low concentration gas clouds
and small, high concentration gas clouds as shown in Figures 1 and 2.

Both the Model IR5000 Source and Receiver units operate from a +24VDC (nominal)
input. This unregulated +24 volt source is fed to on-board power supplies that produce
all of the necessary voltages for the Model IR5000 Source and Receiver units.
In normal operation the microprocessor program constantly monitors the two infrared
wavelengths and performs mathematical operations on this information in conjunction
with values obtained during the factory calibration process.
The microprocessor derives output information and feeds it to the digital to analog
converter to produce two 4 to 20 milliampere (mA) signals that are proportional to the
0 to 5000 ppmmeters and 0 to 5 LELmeters* concentration of gas at the sensor. The
microprocessor program also monitors other conditions such as the supply voltage,
the optical path integrity (beam block) and automatic gain control.

2.6 System Mounting

The Model IR5000 units are shipped with the pan and tilt assembly already mounted.
After the mounting location has been established, mount the support arms. Apply
Lithium grease on both taper joints before attaching the unit to the support arm. Add
the supplied bolt and washer, do not tighten until unit is fully adjusted. If the bolt has
been tightened and further adjustment is necessary, loosen the bolt two turns and tap
the bolt head to release taper (see Figures 4 and 32).

2.7 Conduit Sealing

Each conduit run from a hazardous to a non-hazardous location should be sealed so
that gases, vapors and/or flames cannot pass from one electrical installation to
another through the conduit system.
The customer must connect a section of flex conduit to the Source and the Receiver
units to allow movement of the units during alignment (see Figures 8 through 11).
General Monitors requires the use of a drain loop or conduit seal in the conduit to
prevent moisture from entering the unit housing.
CAUTION - Acetic Acid will cause damage to metal components, metal hardware,
ceramic ICs, etc. If damage results from the use of a sealant that outgases Acetic
Acid (RTV) the two-year warranty will be void.
2.8 Terminal Connections

To make the wiring connections to the Model IR5000, loosen the retaining screws at
the bottom/rear of each unit using the supplied T-wrench, then unscrew the rear cover
of the Source and Receiver housings. All output connections are made inside the
Receiver housing (see Figures 8 through 11 for Terminal Block locations).
NOTE - Contact with printed circuit board (PCB) components should be avoided to
pre-vent damage by static electricity.
2.8.1 Terminal Block Operation

To connect wiring to the terminal block, insert a screwdriver into the orange tab and
press down, opening the terminal (see Figure 5). Insert the wire into the terminal and
release the orange tab, clamping the wire in the terminal. Check the clamp by
GENTLY tugging the wire to ensure it is locked in.
Figure 5 Terminal Block Operation Diagram

60 / 125
Model IR5000
Quick-Start Guide
The terminal block is designed to accept 16 AWG to 22 AWG stranded or solid-wire

(14 AWG wire can be used if it is carefully inserted). Each wire should be stripped as
shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6 Wire Strip Length Diagram

Primary DC voltage power must be provided by the customer. Since the Model IR5000
Infrared Open Path System is designed to continuously monitor for leaks of
combustible gas, a power switch is not included to prevent accidental system
shutdown. Power must remain disconnected until all other wiring connections are
made.
The Receiver and Source common must be connected to the chassis. This is
accomplished by connecting the power supply common to earth-ground and
connecting the earth-ground to the chassis. To ground the Receiver and Source
chassis, the earth-ground wire must be connected to the inside or outside chassis
grounding screw (see Figure 8).

2.10.1 Setup Mode
checked for correctness and the Receivers housing cover should be securely
fastened. Upon initial power-up, the Receiver will enter a two-minute setup mode, the
display will indicate SU.
The IR5000 contains a heater circuit to remove condensation from the windows. The
unit should be allowed to stabilize for approximately two hours before continuing with
the setup mode.
2.10.2 Alignment/Adjustment Mode

The unit now needs to be setup for the application. Place the magnet over the GMI
logo on the rear of the Receiver Unit until two flashing bars appear - -. Remove the
magnet and wait for the Alignment/ Adjustment code AJ to appear (it will follow the
Setup Mode code SE on the display). When AJ appears, re-apply the magnet until
a number between 0 and 99 appears (this is the alignment code).
2.10.3 Alignment
To ensure optimal performance of the Model IR5000, the final alignment code must be
between 87 and 99. To align the Source and Receiver Units, use the following
guidelines:
1. Turn the Source units lamp to full power and perform a rough alignment by sight
until a maximum number is displayed on the Receiver. Tighten the horizontal and
vertical adjustment screws on each unit. Set the Source units brightness as
specified in Section 2.9.5.
2. Loosen the Source units horizontal adjustment screw and move the unit from side
to side until a maximum value is displayed on the Receiver unit. Tighten the
horizontal adjustment screw and loosen the vertical adjustment screw. Move the unit
up and down to obtain a maximum value on the display. Tighten the vertical
adjustment screw.
3. Adjust the Receiver unit from side to side and then up and down to obtain a
maximum display value, tightening the adjustment screws after each adjustment.
4. If a flashing 99 is displayed after alignment, reduce the Source lamp brightness. If
a value lower than 87 is displayed after alignment, increase the Source lamp
brightness (see Section 2.9.5).
5. Re-align the Receiver unit to obtain a maximum display value.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 each time the Source lamp brightness is changed.
If the unit is displaying a number less than 87 or a flashing 99, the IR5000 will not
exit the alignment/adjustment mode.
DO NOT intentionally misalign the Model IR5000 to get below a flashing 99. Turn
down the source lamp brightness. It is important to obtain the highest alignment
number possible within the allowed range. Alignment at high temperatures may result
in alignment numbers at the low-end of the alignment range. Alignment at low
temperatures may result in high alignment numbers.
xxii
67 / 125
Model IR5000
Quick-Start Guide
Once a number within the 87 to 99 range is attained, tighten the Source and
Receivers rear covers and verify that the alignment number has not changed. Apply
the magnet until a flashing CP is displayed (Calibration in Progress Mode). Remove
the magnet and the unit will set the zero value. After approximately 2 minutes, the
unit will return to normal operation.
Ensure that there is no significant amount of background gas when the unit is setting
the zero value, as this will alter the Model IR5000s performance. If there is normally
gas present, try setting-up the IR5000 on a breezy day, as this will dissipate the gas. If
the unit cannot set a zero value, an F8 fault code will appear. The above procedure
should then be repeated. If the unit fails to align properly, check the line of sight
carefully, then contact your GMI representative or the factory direct.
2.10.4 Response Test

After initial alignment, a test of the IR5000 should be carried out using the Test Gas
Filters Kit (P/Ns 30878-1, 30878-2). Follow the testing instructions listed on the inside
label of the filters.
NOTE - The instrument is now ready to operate! Please consult the manual for more
information on the instruments many features.
NOTE - If you have any problems in the setup or testing of the detector, please refer to
the Troubleshooting Section, or call the factory direct.

Model IR5000
3.0 Introduction
3.1 General Description
The Model IR5000 Infrared Open Path System is a microprocessor-based hydrocarbon
gas detector (Figure 13). The system consists of an IR Source unit and a Receiver unit
that may be placed from 5-100 meters (approx. 15-300 feet) apart. The General Monitors
Model IR5000 is calibrated at the factory and needs no further calibration. The sensitivity
of the Model IR5000 can be checked by placing a Test Gas Filter in front of the Receiver
unit. It is also relatively maintenance free, requiring only a periodic cleaning of the
windows to assure dependable performance.
The Model IR5000 Infrared Open Path System continuously monitors hydrocarbon gases
in both the 0 to 5000 ppmmeter and 0 to 5 LELmeter range*. It provides two 4 to 20mA
analog signals proportional to each of the above ranges, in addition to a digital display
and an A3 (LELmeters-Alarm), A2 (LELmeters-Warn), A1 (ppmmeters-Warn) and
FAULT relay contacts.
The Model IR5000 Infrared Open Path System is easily aligned using the digital display
and adjustable mounting arms, therefore not requiring any bulky setup equipment (e.g.
Digital Volt Meters, Alignment Scopes, etc).
Sensor data and status information from the Model IR5000 can be transmitted up to 9000
feet to any industrial analog to digital (A/D) converter for use in multipoint computer-based
monitoring.
The Model IR5000 Infrared Open Path System operates from an unregulated +24 volt DC
power supply which must be supplied by the customer.
* The Model IR5000 Heavy Hydrocarbon unit (Propane) displays 0 to 2000 ppmmeter
and 0 to 1 LELmeter ranges.

Model IR5000
4.0 IR5000 System

4.1 Infrared Detection Principles
4.1.1 Infrared Radiation
Most gases absorb infrared radiation. Infrared gas detection is based upon the fact that all
hydrocarbon gases absorb infrared radiation of specific wavelengths or bands but with
different degrees of absorption. The wavelength that these gases absorb radiation at is a
characteristic of the gas (fingerprint) and the amount of absorption is a function of the gas
concentration and the infrared beams path length.
4.1.2 Beer-Lambert Law

The Model IR5000 is based on measuring absorption of infrared radiation passing
through a volume of hydrocarbon gas. Absorption of the radiation follows the Beer-
Lambert Law, which states the transmittance (T) of radiation through an absorbing
medium decreases exponentially by the product of the extinction coefficient (A), the
concentration (C) and the path length (L):
T = exp(-ACL)
4.1.3 IR5000 Detection Method

The Model IR5000 uses a single beam, dual wavelength method of infrared absorption
detection. One wavelength is where absorption of a specific gas (or gases) occurs, (the
absorbing wavelength) and the other wavelength is adjacent to it (the reference
wavelength) but at a wavelength not absorbed by the gas (or gases). By comparing the
signals from these two wavelengths, the concentration of the gas can be measured (i.e.
differential absorption technique).
The reference wavelength is chosen to compensate for interferences that can otherwise
occur from atmospheric variation (e.g. humidity, rain, dust, snow, fog, steam, temperature,
etc.).
NOTE - Extremely dense fog, steam or interruption of the beam by an object or person
may cause the system to enter into a temporary beam blocked condition until the line-of-
sight clears. This condition is signaled by 1.5mA output level so as to discriminate it from
an Instrument true Fault. If preferred, the menu allows a level of 0mA (Fault) to be
selected.
This method of detection comes under what is commonly known as the non-dispersive
infrared (NDIR) absorption principle.
4.1.4 Measurement Scale

With the Model IR5000 Open Path System, as there is no fixed path length, the reading is
reported in concentrationmeters. The Model IR5000 reports concentrations in the
ppmmeters range (highly sensitive to low levels of hydrocarbons) and the LELmeters
range (large hazardous levels of hydrocarbons). The Model IR5000 has one auto-ranging
two-digit display, the two ranges are differentiated by lighting an LED below the display
for ppmmeters and above the display for LELmeters. In general, an open path monitor
can give similar responses to large, low concentration gas clouds and small, high
concentration gas clouds as shown in Figures 14 and 15.

1% LEL x 5 meters 2500ppmmeter
.5% LEL x 10 meters 2500ppmmeter
0-5000 ppmmeter range

0-5 LELmeter range

Both the Model IR5000 Source and Receiver units operate from a +24VDC (nominal)
input. This unregulated +24 volt source is fed to on-board power supplies that produce all
of the necessary voltages for the Model IR5000 Source and Receiver units.
In normal operation, the microprocessor program constantly monitors the two infrared
wavelengths and performs mathematical operations on this information in conjunction
with values obtained during the factory calibration process.
The microprocessor derives output information and feeds it to the digital to analog
converter to produce two 4 to 20 milliampere (mA) signals that are proportional to the 0 to
5000 ppmmeters and 0 to 5 LELmeters* concentration of gas at the sensor. The
microprocessor program also monitors other conditions such as the supply voltage, the
optical path integrity (beam block) and automatic gain control.

5.0 Installation
All equipment shipped by General Monitors is pre-packed in shock absorbing containers
which provide protection against physical damage (original containers should be kept for
future shipping or storage needs).
Shipping container contents should be carefully removed and checked against the
packing list. If any damage has occurred or there is any discrepancy in the order, please
notify General Monitors as soon as possible.
All correspondence with General Monitors must specify the equipment part number and
serial number.
Each unit is tested by the factory, however, a complete system check-out is suggested
upon initial installation to ensure system integrity.
5.2 Location Considerations

There are no standard rules for placement, since the optimum location varies with each
application.
Some factors to consider when selecting locations:
The system should be accessible for occasional response checks.

The Receiver Unit should be mounted so that the display is visible to aid in alignment.
Do not mount near strong magnetic fields or degradation of performance may result.
The line of sight between the Source and Receiver Units should be free from items that
may block the beam (i.e. a parked truck or moveable machinery).
The units should be reasonably protected (i.e. covered by a hood if temperatures
exceed the specifications in Section 8.8.4).
The units are RFI resistant, but should not be mounted too close to radio transmitters or
similar equipment.
Mount the Receiver unit so that direct sunlight does not enter the front window.
Locate the units away from concentrated sources of heat.
Mount away from sources of excessive vibration and away from high voltage/high
current power lines.
If the path length is less than 20 meters (<65 feet), an aperture plate is required.

5.3 System Mounting

The Model IR5000 units are shipped with the pan and tilt assembly already mounted.
After the mounting location has been established, mount the support arms. Apply Lithium
grease on both taper joints before attaching the unit to the support arm. Add the supplied
bolt and washer, do not tighten until unit is fully adjusted. If the bolt has been tightened
and further adjustment is necessary, loosen the bolt two turns and tap the bolt head to
release taper (see Figures 17 and 32).

5.4 Conduit Sealing

Each conduit run from a hazardous to a non-hazardous location should be sealed so that
gases, vapours and/or flames cannot pass from one electrical installation to another
through the conduit system.
The customer must connect a section of flex conduit to the Source and the Receiver units
to allow movement of the units during alignment (see Figures 26 and 27).
General Monitors requires the use of a drain loop or conduit seal in the conduit to prevent
moisture from entering the unit housing.
CAUTION - Acetic Acid will cause damage to metal components, metal hardware,
ceramic ICs, etc. If damage results from the use of a sealant that outgases Acetic Acid
(RTV) the two-year warranty will be void.
5.5 Terminal Connections

To make the wiring connections to the Model IR5000, loosen the retaining screws at the
bottom/rear of each unit using the supplied T-wrench, then unscrew the rear cover of the
Source and Receiver housings. All output connections are made inside the Receiver
housing (see Figures 21 through 24 for Terminal Block locations).
NOTE - Contact with printed circuit board (PCB) components should be avoided to
prevent damage by static electricity.
5.5.1 Terminal Block Operation

To connect wiring to the terminal block, insert a screwdriver into the orange tab and press
down, opening the terminal (see Figure 18). Insert the wire into the terminal and release
the orange tab, clamping the wire in the terminal. Check the clamp by GENTLY tugging
the wire to ensure it is locked in.
Figure 18 Terminal Block Operation
8
76 / 125
Model IR5000
The terminal block is designed to accept 16 AWG to 22 AWG stranded or solid-wire (14
AWG wire can be used if it is carefully inserted). Each wire should be stripped as shown
in Figure 19.
Figure 19 Wire Strip Length Diagram
Primary DC voltage power must be provided by the customer. Since the Model IR5000
Infrared Open Path System is designed to continuously monitor for leaks of combustible
gas, a power switch is not included to prevent accidental system shutdown. Power must
remain disconnected until all other wiring connections are made.
The Receiver and Source common must be connected to the chassis. This is
accomplished by connecting the power supply common to earth-ground and connecting
the earth-ground to the chassis. To ground the Receiver and Source chassis, the earth-
ground wire must be connected to the inside or outside chassis grounding screw.

4. If a flashing 99 is displayed after alignment, reduce the Source lamp brightness. If a
value lower than 87 is displayed after alignment, increase the Source lamp brightness
(see Section 5.5.3).
5. Re-align the Receiver unit to obtain a maximum display value.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 each time the Source lamp brightness is changed.
If the unit is displaying a number less than 87 or a flashing 99, the IR5000 will not exit

present, try setting-up the IR5000 on a breezy day, as this will dissipate the gas. If the
unit cannot set a zero value, an F8 fault code will appear. The above procedure should
then be repeated. If the unit fails to align properly, check the line of sight carefully, then
contact your General Monitors representative or the factory direct.
5.6.4 Response Test

After initial alignment, a test of the IR5000 should be carried out using the Test Gas
Filters Kit (P/Ns 30878-1 and 30878-2). Follow the testing instructions listed on the inside
label of the filters.
5.7 Operational Cautions

WARNING: During operation, the line of sight between the source and the receiver
should be free from blockage caused by frequent human or animal crossings. The IR5000
will not respond to gas leaks upon complete IR beam blockage. Interruptions of the IR
beam will delay the response time of this unit, and thus lead to a potentially unsafe
situation.
The Heavy Hydrocarbon version of the Model IR5000 Open Path System will perform
accurately and reliably for propane gas detection applications in extreme industrial
environments. However, there are certain conditions, which one needs to account for,
when designing the gas detection system. Users are cautioned that under the following
two situations the Heavy Hydrocarbon IR5000 could give a beam block indication rather
than a gas reading or alarm:
5.7.1 A rapid and massive liquid propane release

A sudden release of large amount of liquid propane can form very cold gas clouds due to
cooling resulting from gas expansion and liquid propane evaporation. This is an intrinsic
problem for all open path optical detection technologies. Installing the Model IR5000 at a
distance (~10 meters) away from potential liquid propane leakage will reduce this problem.
5.7.2 A rapid and massive buildup of a high concentration propane gas cloud
For example, a propane gas cloud greater than 18 LEL-meter very rapidly and completely
placed in the gas path can indicate beam block instead of a gas reading.
5.7.3 Solutions to guard against these situations

Using complementary point detectors (e.g. Models IR2100, S4000C, or S4100C)
at potential sources of leaks of high concentration liquid propane, and
Using beam block signal as an alarm. To reduce the number of false alarms due
to physical beam block, there are user selectable time delays for the presence of
beam block. A signal will then be given if a beam block exceeds this time-period.
The ppmmeter range of the IR5000 Heavy Hydrocarbon Open Path Monitor should be
used as a warning that there is a gas-leak. This may allow action to take place before a
leak reaches a hazardous level, while the LELmeter range should be used for action
taken for a high gas alarm.
Please review our Technical bulletin on this subject for further details.

6.0 Operation
6.1 Output Options
The Model IR5000 allows the user to configure the units outputs via a magnetically
sensitive reed switch. To activate the reed switch, place the magnet supplied with the
Model IR5000 over the General Monitors logo on the label of the Receiver unit for
approximately five seconds. Remove the magnet when the flashing bars appear. The
display will cycle between the options until the magnet is re-applied, thereby accepting
the current option. These options are:
- - - Test Gas Mode
SE - Setup Mode
AJ - Alignment/Adjustment Mode
Fi - Finish, return to normal operation
6.2 - - Test Gas Mode

Apply the magnet when the flashing bars are showing and the unit will enter the Test Gas
Mode. While the unit is in this mode the optical faults and relays will be inhibited, the
analog signals will drop from 4mA to 1.5mA (0mA optional) and the display will flash.
This mode allows the user to check the IR5000s response to gas cells without activating
the relays. After verifying the response (see Section 5.6), remove the gas, the unit will
return to normal operation If the gas is not removed after 5 minutes, the unit will revert to
fault condition. If left in this mode for 5 minutes, the unit will return to normal operation
automatically.
6.3 SE Setup Mode

Apply the magnet when SE is showing and the unit will enter the Setup Mode.
This mode allows the user to change various attributes concerning the analog and relay
outputs. Following is the order in which the options are displayed (to change, apply
magnet when the desired option is showing):
Display - Description

changes that were made and return to normal operation. This is the only way changes
made in setup mode will be saved.
6.6 Maintenance
After the Model IR5000 has been initially aligned, very little must be done to maintain the
unit. Although calibration is not required, response should be tested from time to time
using the Test Gas Filters designed for the IR5000 (see Section 5.6 for details).
If the Model IR5000 is operated under dusty or dirty conditions, the windows should be
cleaned periodically. This is accomplished by gently wiping them with a soft, clean cloth,
which has had a commercial window cleaning solution applied. The cleaning should be
done in test mode to prevent false alarms.
NOTE - The IR5000 will see alcohol and other cleaning solvents.
6.7 Display and Fault Codes

The display codes during normal operation are:
SU Start-Up - This is displayed immediately after power is applied and lasts for
approximately two minutes.
SF Re-Start from an optical Fault - This is displayed when an optical Fault condition
has been corrected.
0-50 Steady Numeric Indications - This is displayed when a concentration of gas is

detected in the operational mode. Lower LED is lit when displaying ppmmeters,
upper LED is lit when displaying LELmeters.
0-50 Flashing Numeric Indications - This is displayed when a concentration of test

gas is at the detector in the test gas mode. Lower LED is lit when displaying
ppmmeters, upper LED is lit when displaying LELmeters.
Other codes that can appear on the display are Fault codes, which are listed on the
following page.

Model IR5000
6.8 PPM & LEL Negative Drift Faults

The PPM negative fault occurs when the IR5000 is zeroed with a small background gas
and strong wind conditions dissipate the remaining gas. Such conditions will cause the
PPM range current to go to a fault condition (0.0 MA).
A LEL negative drift is an IR5000 source or receiver problem. It is unsafe to use the
IR5000 in this condition. A LEL negative drift causes both currents go to zero and the fault
relay to de-energize. The LEL negative drift may occur when the system is first installed
and not yet zeroed.
Negative drift on the PPM range is not a dangerous condition as with a LEL negative drift.
The PPM negative drift does not put the IR5000 into a total fault. It will however return the
PPM current to zero.
The following table summarizes the IR5000 action:

Condition PPM current LEL current Fault relay Remarks
Normal 4.0 ma 4.0 ma Energize
Unit Fault 0.0 ma 0.0 ma De-energize After time delay
Negative PPM 0.0 ma 4.0ma Energize After time delay
Negative LEL 0.0 ma 0.0 ma De-energize After time delay
Table 5 PPM & LEL Faults
6.9 Troubleshooting
If equipment or qualified personnel required to troubleshoot are not available, it is
recommended that the defective unit be returned to General Monitors for repair.
CAUTION - General Monitors warranty will be voided if damage results from repair
attempts other than routine replacement of recommended spare parts. Repairs performed
by persons other than General Monitors authorized personnel may void the warranty.
Please read the warranty statement carefully (see inside front page). A defective IR5000
Infrared Open Path System should be returned to the factory for repair even if the
warranty has expired. A complete written description of the problem should be included
with all returned equipment.
The Model IR5000 Infrared Open Path System will indicate a fault code number on the
two-digit display as an aid to troubleshooting. The following list identifies the Fault codes,
gives a description of the Fault and indicates the corrective action that should be taken:
Multiple Faults will result in alternating fault codes being displayed. All faults have a 10-
second delay before activating, unless otherwise noted.
F1* The Receiver Unit is seeing less than optimum infrared from the Source Unit. The
units windows should be cleaned and optical path checked for blockage.
F2 Motor stalled. Timing error will try to restart the motor for up to five minutes.
The unit must be sent in for repair.
F3 The infrared source is too dim. The units optical path should be checked for
blockage and/or windows cleaned. If this continues, the unit should be returned
for repair. Activates Fault relay after user defined Beam Block time-out period.
F4 This code is displayed if there is excess infraredenergy being received by the
Receiver Unit. This may occur if there is a bright IR source in line with the detector
window.
21
89 / 125
Model IR5000
F5 This code is displayed when there is a sudden large change in the infrared energy
being received by the detector. This will occur during the cleaning of the optics, or if
any obstruction is placed in the optical path.
NOTE - Heavy Hydrocarbon IR5000: If the unit attains a ppm warn level, then goes into
an F5 fault within 2 seconds, the unit will activate the LEL alarm relay and Analog Output
will go to 20.0mA as this situation is indicative of a catastrophic Propane leak.
F6* The unit is receiving a low line voltage. This will be displayed if the Receiver
unit is being supplied with less than 18VDC.
F7 Internal system failure. The unit must be returned for repair.
F8 The unit failed to acquire a zero during alignment/adjustment mode or is
responding to a loss of background gas. Recalibrate unit.
F9* Open current loop. One or both of the Analog Outputs are open. These must be
jumpered, if not being used.
* - During the F1, F6 and F9 faults, the unit will attempt to output an alarm if gas is
present.

consequently a universal smoke detector.
The built-in response indicator (red LED) serves as a local status
indicator. An external response indicator can be connected to the
base.
For periodic factory cleaning the detector can be easily disas-
sembled.
The detectors are fully electronic and are not subject to wear and
tear. To protect it against environmental influences the electronic
circuit has a specially developed circuit board protective coating.
The DB1101 detector base is mounted on the ceiling direct on the
recess box direct, or surface-mounted using the DBZ1191 base at-
tachment and connected to the control unit via twin wire. The base is
fitted with spring terminals for connection.
The detectors are secured in the base DB1101 with a vibration-
proof bayonet fitting. Efficient installation and removal of a detector
is possible by means of the DZ1191 detector extractor. For testing of
the DO1101Ex serves the RE6 testing unit. DT1101Ex and
DT1102Ex can only be tested with RE6T in non-explosion hazard
areas. By means of extension tubes this work can be carried out up
to a height of 7 metres without additional tools.
A range of base accessories is available for installation in wet areas
and for protection against theft etc.

3. Principle of operation
The OptoRex DO1101Ex is based on the principle that The ThermoRex DT1101/DT1102 measures the ambient
smoke scatters light. An infrared LED (IRED) transmits temperature with the NTC thermistor Rm in the tip of the
brief, intensive light pulses into the scattering chamber. sensor and measures the temperature in the detector
The receiving element is screened off from direct IR light housing with the NTC thermistor Rg. Rapid temperature

the operating voltage). The intrinsically safe detector cir-

compliance, the OptoRex DO1101Ex can be used as a The ThermoRex DT1101Ex can be used up to a tempera-
universal smoke detector. ture of 50C and the DT1102Ex up to a temperature of
70C. The DT1101Ex/DT1102Ex are especially suitable for
monitoring rooms and installations in which in the event of
fire, a rapid increase in temperature is to be expected, or
where other types of detector cannot be used because
work processes cause smoke, dust, exhaust gases etc.
The recommended monitoring areas, distances between detectors
etc. can be found in the national guidelines, the Cerberus Guide-
lines for Planning and Application (CRP), Fire Detection in Explo-
sion-hazard Areas, document e1204, or the Security Guide.
5.4. Installation
Bases are connected together by twisted twin wire. Shielded cable
is only required for special applications, e.g. in the case of powerful
high frequency fields or special national guidelines.

6. Commissioning
To prevent unnecessary soiling during the construction phase,
the detectors should be inserted into the bases just before the
system is put into service.
For detailed information, see Fire Detection in Explosion-hazard
Areas, document e1204.
7. Maintenance
7.1. Functional check

A functional check of the detectors must be performed periodically
(usually once per year) by forcing each detector to respond by
means of a suitable testing device (RE6 or DZ1192 for DO1101Ex or
RE6T for DT1101Ex/DT1102Ex). Detectors that do not respond or
which are mechanically damaged must be replaced.
7.2. Overhaul
All detectors should be jointly replaced and factory overhauled in in-
tervals of 2 to 8 years, depending on the environmental conditions
and the severity of contamination.
Important: The DZ1193 and RE6T detector tester and the

DZ1194 detector test set must only be used in areas where
there is no explosion-hazard.
7.3. On-site measurement with the DZ1194 detector test set

The voltage U3A can be measured and alarm activation The operating current can be measured and alarm activa-
checked with the DZ1194 detector test set. The U3A volt- tion checked with the DZ1194 detector test set.
age measured is directly proportional to the remaining
voltage increase for alarm.
Detectors with values which lie outside those in the technical data
must be replaced.
