" WARNING
This is a general-purpose (GP) monitor and can be a source of ignition. Install, locate, and operate only in a non-hazardous area and in accordance with all applicable codes. Read and follow all instructions, warnings, and cautions pertaining to this gas monitor. Failure to follow this warning can cause ignition of explosive environments, resulting in serious personal injury or loss of life.

Do not install in areas with: excessive or conductive dust corrosive or flammable gas moisture or rain excessive heat regular impact shocks or excessive vibration.

Do not place in water or allow water to leak onto the controller. Do not allow debris to fall inside the unit during installation. Do not touch live wires. Double-check all the wiring before turning ON the power supply. Stay as far as possible from high-voltage cables and power equipment. Allow a minimum of 10 mm of space for ventilation between the top and bottom edges of the controller and the enclosure walls.

Mounting
NOTE: The mounting panel cannot be more than 5 mm thick. To maximize system performance, avoid electromagnetic interference by: mounting the controller on a metal panel earthing the power supply according to FIGURE 2-3.

1. Make a panel cut-out for your ModCon75 Controller 2-2

See FIGURE 2-2 for cut-out dimensions.

2. If you are mounting the controller on a metal panel, earth the power supply: a Bore a hole (FIGURE 2-2) that suits the NC6-32 screw supplied with the controller kit. b. Scrape the panel paint away from the contact area to ensure a conductive connection. c. Drive the screw into the hole.

Figure 2-2. ModCon75 Controller Panel Cut-outFront View d. On the screws shank, place the following hardware in this order: washer, ring cable shoe, second washer, spring, and nut; as shown in FIGURE 2-3.

RS232 Wiring Considerations Since the RJ11 connector and the screw block terminal use the same signal source, only one can be used for establishing RS232 communications. Connect the screw block terminal as follows: M90-19-R4 Device RxD <--------- TxD TxD 0V ---------> RxD ---------- 0V

RS485 Wiring Considerations Use shielded, twisted pair cables. Configure the network as a multidrop bus network. Minimize the stub (drop) length leading from each device to the bus. Ideally, the main cable should be run in and out of the networked device. Positive terminals must be wired to positive Negative terminals must be wired to negative.

Do not cross positive (A) and negative (B) signals.

2-8

Network termination points must be created by using the two end point devices integrated into your network. Connect the T- terminal to Rx-, and T+ to RX+ in each end point device as shown in FIGURE 2-9.

To support RS485, connect the Tx+ terminal to the Rx+, and the Rx- terminal to the Tx-, as shown in FIGURE 2-9.

Appendix C, Remote Relay Modules

Optional Remote Relay units: A total of four remote relay units may be added to the modbus network. Modbus ID numbers of the remote relay modules must be programmed for ID#30, 31, 32, or 33. Input Remote Relay on all remote units is the local silence alarm. Closing this input will silence the local alarm as well as the ModCon75 Alarm. Output O0 is for the local alarm output.

NOTE: If Zone Alarms are programmed as Latch, user can silence the alarm at the remote relay, but the Zone alarm will not clear until the unlatch input is initiated at the ModCon75 Controller.

Appendix D, Event Retrieval Tools

MSA provides access to a data retrieval tool called DataXport that is available via the MSA support website. DataXport allows the user to view alarm and fault events logged within the ModCon75 Controller. DataXport saves the data logs in .ulp format. These data logs can be opened using DataXport's companion application, DataXls, and the data can then be exported to Excel files. Via DataXport, you can: View alarm and fault events logged within the controller. Access PLCs and log events via a direct, network, Ethernet, or modem connection.

To download this application tool, go to www.msanorthamerica.com , select Fixed Gas Detection Instruments, then Software Downloads. The DataXport Users Guide is located under Fixed Gas Detection Instruments, Controllers, ModCon 75 Controller under the Literature tab.
