2.1 Display
The S5000 utilizes a dot matrix LED display, capable of displaying four alphanumeric characters
at a time. The display will scroll words that exceed four letters. Most of the messages scroll twice
across the screen before moving onto next selection.
Fig. 1 S5000 Main Display

In addition to the red LED display, the S5000 uses six icons to indicate status. Green LED
indicates power supply status. A yellow triangle and red bell indicate fault and warning or alarm
conditions respectively. The Bluetooth® icon indicates that the Bluetooth® wireless technology is
enabled on the device. Yellow "1" and "2" icon indicate which sensor gas reading is being
displayed, or during configuration which sensor's options are being accessed.
US

Description
2.2 No Tool Interface

The S5000does not require any tools or third party devices to change settings, reset alarms or
perform any maintenance operation. The EZ touch button works through the glass and does not
require opening the explosion proof enclosure. The EZ touch button works with bare fingers or
with gloved hands, so long as the gloves are not black. See section 4 for more information on
navigating the menu with the EZ touch button.
Fig. 2 Interface
The user menu can also be accessed using the round GM magnet on the General Moni-
tors logo.
2.3 Bluetooth® Wireless Technology

The S5000 comes by default with Bluetooth® communication. Using the X/S Connect App on an
appropriate smart phone or tablet, users are able to interface with the S5000 menu options in a
larger and more user friendly setting. The Bluetooth® communication can interact with the device
within a maximum transmission distance of 70 feet (21 m).
WARNING!
Bluetooth® Operation is dependent upon signal availability of the wireless service(s) necessary to
maintain the communication link. Loss of wireless signal will prevent communication of alarms and
other information to linked devices. Take appropriate precautions in the event a loss of wireless
signal occurs.
If ordered with Bluetooth®, the device will be shipped with Bluetooth® enabled. See
section 4 for instructions on disabling Bluetooth®. US
If the device was not ordered with Bluetooth® it cannot be upgraded.
The S5000 and user provided communication device will need to be paired. This requires both
devices to be in range and for a pairing sequence inputting a 6 digit pairing code. The instructions
will be displayed on both the S5000 and communication device.

contact your MSA representative for additional information.

Description
2.4 Dual Sensing

The S5000 supports two Digital Sensors, or one IR400 point IR detector and one Digital Sensor
simultaneously with four wire connections. However, the device will only support one passive
sensor, either combustible catalytic bead or metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensors, based on
the ATO configuration. Passive catalytic bead uses three wires, passive MOS uses four wires.
The S5000 Gas Monitor generates two independent analog outputs; one for each sensor
connected to the transmitter. The analog output associated with Sensor 1 also has the digital
HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) communication superimposed on the analog
signal. If two sensors are connected, the digital HART communication carries information for both
sensors.
2.5 Retrofit Installations
The S5000 has the conduit entries located in the exact same orientation and distance from the
wall and the mounting holes for attaching to a wall are identical to the S4000 Series detectors.
Users will be able to re-use the existing wiring for the remotely mounted sensors.
2.6 XCell Sensors Optimized for Fixed Gas Applications
XCell toxic and combustible catalytic bead sensors are developed and manufactured by MSA to
be the most shelf-stable and longest lasting sensors available. The XCell non-consuming reaction
chemistry is tried-and-true, with over 600,000 used in MSA’s portable gas detectors. Now
optimized for fixed gas applications, the XCell sensor platform is available in the S5000 and
provides multiple benefits, including a standard 3-year warranty on all XCell sensors.
One important optimization for fixed gas was incorporating the GM catalytic bead into the XCell
sensor. The GM cat bead is the largest in the industry, providing market leading expected life time
and stability.
By using a non-consuming reaction chemistry, the XCell Oxygen sensor is expected to last well
over 3 years and can be safely stored on the shelf for at least 1 year without sensor performance
degradation.
2.7 TruCal Sensing Technology for CO and H2S Electrochemical Sensors
Using patented pulse check technology and proprietary Adaptive Environmental Compensation
(AEC) algorithms, XCell sensors with TruCal verify operation.
Automated pulse checks are performed every six hours to verify operation. An electrical pulse
stimulates the XCell sensor similar to having actual calibration gas applied, providing a snapshot
of the sensor’s sensitivity at the time of the pulse. Using this sensitivity snapshot, the sensor can
diagnose sensor failures like electrode poisoning, electrolyte leaking, or electrical connectivity
issues. The sensitivity snapshots are mapped over time to provide an overall Life & Health status
as either “Good” or “Fair” if the sensor is approaching end of life.
The proprietary Adaptive Environmental Compensation (AEC) algorithms use the sensitivity
snapshots provided by the pulse check to adjust sensor output, compensating for environmental
impacts on sensor accuracy. If the AEC adjustment is greater than expected based on typical
US
environmental impact variations, the corresponding sensor channel LED will slow flash GREEN,
indicating that the sensor should be calibrated to reset the AEC cycle. The result is a sensor that
actively self-monitors for operation and accuracy, with far fewer manual calibrations.
Actual TruCal sensor performance will depend on the application, background gas exposure, and
environment. To validate XCell sensors with TruCal, it is recommended that users follow their
regular calibration cycle and record the “as found” and “as left” values. This data can be used to
extend calibrations depending on the required specification of the application.
2.8 Safe Swap
The S5000 comes with patented SafeSwap technology, which allows users to change or replace
XCell sensors without needing to power down the instrument. Swap delay is enabled on the
S5000 by default; a feature that gives users a 2 minute window to change sensors without
triggering a fault condition. SafeSwap and Swap Delay are only applicable for XCell sensors. For
more information on SafeSwap and Swap Delay, see section 6.

Description
2.9 Housing
The S5000 comes in 316 Stainless Steel for the highest corrosion resistance. All housings have
¾” NPT conduit entries. Custom tags are available and easily attach to an integral ring.

3.1 Installation Warnings - Read before Installation
WARNING!
S5000 Digital Sensors labeled for Class I Hazardous (Classified) locations and installed in a
Class I Hazardous (Classified) location only may be changed under power. To change, unscrew
sensor at least three full turns (but no more than four full turns from its fully engaged position),
wait 10 seconds, and then remove the sensor completely. Failure to follow this warning can
result in the ignition of a hazardous atmosphere.
Do not paint the device. Avoid painting in areas where the S5000 and remote sensor junction box
are located. If painting is required in an area where an S5000 or remote sensor has been installed,
exercise caution to ensure paint is not deposited on the sensor inlet fitting. Paint solvents can also
cause an alarm condition to occur or potentially poison electrochemical sensors.
Protect the device from extreme vibration.
Do not mount the sensing head in direct sunlight without a sunshield (Part Number 10178977,
IR400 Sunshield Part Number 10178977).
The S4000 IR400 Gas Monitor contains no user- or field-serviceable parts and must be returned
to the factory for repair. Any attempt to open the monitor will damage the unit and void the
warranty.
CAUTION!
When installing the IR400 sensor, under no circumstances should a pry-bar be applied to the two
legs that support the unit's reflectors during installation or removal of the sensor. Applying force
to the legs can permanently damage the IR400 sensor.
3.2 Reviewing Shipment and Identifying Product Model

To determine the sensor type and options, check the shipping carton.
US
Fig. 4 Shipping Label

Digital and IR400 sensors are not shipped attached to the S5000. The IR400 is a one piece
sensor, but all other Digital Sensors are comprised of two parts; the sensor body and the sensor
puck. Digital Sensors are shipped unattached from the S5000 housing and must be attached.
Check the sensor details before attaching to the S5000 housing. The sensor details are listed on
the inside of the sensor puck. Unscrew the sensor puck from the sensor body and check the label
on the inside for gas type, range, configuration ordered, serial number, and firmware revision
number.
Passive sensors are shipped attached to the housing.

Installation
3.3 Product Installation Check List

Before Installation
• Review national electrical codes
• Review local procedural and building codes
• Determine optimum transmitter placement
• Determine wire requirements
• Determine mounting hardware requirements
Mounting
• Attach appropriate sensor to housing or junction box
• Mount transmitter or junction box using appropriate mounting hardware
• Confirm free air flow around the sensor
3.4 Mounting
3.4.1 Sensor Mounting Location
The best location for the transmitter and the sensor may not be the same location. Sensors should
be placed in a location where a gas leak is most likely to be detected. When the best sensor
placement would not allow the transmitter display to be easily viewed or accessed, a remote
junction box can be used to mount the sensor remotely from the transmitter, allowing both to be
installed in the optimum location.
Two main factors should be considered when choosing a sensor location. The first is the density
of the target gas relative to the air. Gases, such as propane, that are heavier than air should be
placed near ground level while gases that are lighter than air should be placed above potential
leak sources.
Optimum sensor placement will depend on the surrounding processing equipment, such as pipes,
valves, or turbines. MSA offers a gas and flame mapping service that systematically evaluates
potential sources of leaks and recommends detector quantity and placement to create the most
effective detection system.
3.4.2 Transmitter Mounting Location
The transmitter display should be mounted so that the screen is visible and easily accessed after
installation. The electronics assembly inside the enclosure have one orientation inside the
cylindrical housing. Take care to position the conduit entries and display so that the display is read
in the correct orientation.
US

Installation
3.4.3 Sensor Orientation

Sensor orientation will depend on the sensor type. If mounting an IR400 point IR sensor, whether
locally on the transmitter or via remote junction box, the sensor should be mounted horizontally.
If the IR400 sensor is not mounted horizontally, the sensor will be prone to more frequent beam
blocking issues due to accumulated dust and condensation on the surface of the IR400 sensor.
Fig. 5 shows the correct and incorrect mounting orientations for the IR400.
Fig. 5 Correct and Incorrect Mounting Orientations for IR400 Point IR Sensor
All other sensors, including electrochemical, catalytic bead, oxygen, passive catalytic bead, and
passive MOS should be mounted vertically with the gas inlet pointed downward. If the sensor is
not mounted with the gas inlet facing down, it is more likely to become clogged with particulate
matter or liquids. Fig. 6 shows the correct and incorrect mounting orientation for XCell sensors.
Passive catalytic bead and MOS sensors come already installed on the transmitter housing.
US

Installation
3.4.4 Connecting Sensor to Transmitter Housing or Remote Junction Box

Digital and IR400 sensors are not shipped attached to the main enclosure. The main sensor input
is provided via a four-terminal connection that provides a digital interface for all sensor modules.
Up to two sensors (excluding passive sensors) can be connected to a single transmitter with two
analog outputs capable of representing the readings of the individual sensors.
If planning to install the sensor attached to the transmitter or remote junction box, connect the
sensor before selecting the final mounting location so that the dimensions of the sensor can be
considered.
Passive sensors are shipped already attached and electrically wired to the device. Only one
passive sensor can be used on a single S5000, and they are not interchangeable with other
passive sensors or Digital Sensors. Consider the sensor dimensions when choosing a
mounting location for the transmitter or junction box.
To connect the sensor:
(1) Loosen the set screw located on the lid using a 1.5 mm Allen wrench.
(2) Turn the lid counter-clockwise to remove.
(3) Pull out display module to expose terminal connections.
Fig. 7 Terminal Connections

US
(4) Route the cable from the sensor through a conduit entry hole in the enclosure so that the
sensor is oriented in the correct position (see section 3.6 for details).
(Repeat to attach a second sensor to the S5000 transmitter).
(5) Connect the sensor to the "Sensor 1" position on the electronics assembly.
a) If using a second sensor, connect it to the second sensor position.
CAUTION!
If only using one sensor and it is connected to “Sensor 2” position, the S5000 will enter Sensor
Missing fault.

Installation

3.4.7 Duct Mount

Duct mount kits are available for monitoring atmosphere inside flat or round ducts. Round duct
mount kits are available for small ducts 12-20" in diameter (Part Number 10179323) and large
ducts 20-40" in diameter (Part Number 10179324). The flat duct mount (Part Number 10179322)
is universal for flat ducts.
NOTICE
Consider the sensor type before choosing a duct mount location. IR400 sensors should be
mounted horizontally and all other sensors should be mounted vertically.
NOTICE
Air flow in the duct must be zero to ensure proper calibration.

Installation
3.4.8 Mounting with a Sunshield

A sunshield is recommended to protect the S5000 from direct sun light (Part Number 10180254).
The sunshield can be used in any of the mounting configurations.
Fig. 13 Sunshield with Surface Mount
Fig. 14 Sunshield with Universal Pipe Mount
US

Installation
3.5 Installing a Remote Sensor Junction Box

Sensors mounted remotely must use the S5000 junction box. The junction box housing is the
same construction as the transmitter. The mounting options and instructions for connecting the
sensor are the same for sensors connected directly to the S5000 transmitter housing. The junction
box is available in 316 Stainless Steel.
Sensors can be remote mounted up to 100 m from the transmitter housing, as long as the S5000
transmitter is mounted within maximum distance from the power supply, as indicated in Tab. 17.
The junction box does not have an illuminated display and has two connectors for attaching a
single sensor input and an output connects to the transmitter. A 16 AWG 4 element cable with a
braided shield should be used for the electrical connection between the junction box and the
S5000 transmitter. Specific cable recommendations are available upon request.

3.6 Electrical Power Connections

3.6.1 Electrical Warnings - Read before Connecting Power
WARNING!
Before wiring the S5000 transmitter, disconnect the power source supplying the transmitter and
ensure no hazardous atmosphere present; otherwise, electrical shock or ignition of hazardous
gases could occur.
• Install wiring in accordance with the electrical code of the country in use, the local authority
having jurisdiction and these installation instructions, as applicable.
• Do not make any connections to the S5000 main board or junction box input, output, and relay
connections while under power. Failure to do so could lead to electrical shock or ignition of a
hazardous atmosphere.
• Ensure that water and dirt are not able to enter the unit via the wire or conduit. If the unit is
installed in a location known to be wet or damp, it is good practice to loop or bend the entry
into the unit that prevents water incursion.
• The internal grounding terminal (located on the interior metal board stack plate) must be used
for equipment grounding. The external grounding terminal is only to be used as a supplemental
bonding connection where local authorities permit or require such a connection.
• S5000 Digital Sensors marked for Class I hazardous (classified) locations and installed in a
Class I hazardous (classified) location may be changed under power. To change, unscrew
three full turns from its fully engaged position, wait 10 seconds, and then remove the cap
completely. Failure to follow this warning can result in the ignition of a hazardous atmosphere.
• For S5000 Digital Sensors marked for Class II or III and installed in a Class I or III hazardous
location atmosphere must be free of dust or fibers filings and the power removed from the unit
before the sensor cap can be removed from the housing. Failure to follow this warning can
result in the ignition of a hazardous atmosphere.
3.6.2 Electrical Hardware Requirements
Braided shielded, twisted pair, instrument quality wire or cable should be used to minimize the
possibility of noise interference and contact with other voltages. Selection of shielded cable must
comply with local requirements.
Conduit, in addition to braided shielded wire, may also be needed in areas where a large amount
of electrical noise is expected. All cable shields should be terminated to earth ground at one end
only.
The S5000 has a four-wire power terminal, one four-wire communication terminal, and three four-
wire sensor terminals. Relays can be added as an option. Terminals for power and relays can take
wires up to 12 AWG while all other terminals take wires up to 14 AWG. Four conductors are also US
required for the S5000 remote junction boxes.
Incoming power and signal cables should be a braided shield cable such as Alpha Wire 3248 or
equivalent. The braided shield must be terminated to the instrument housing with a 360 degree
connection to earth ground as shown in Fig. 37, or alternatively, the earth ground at the user’s
power source location.
An external Class 2 power supply is required to supply 12-30 VDC to the S5000. Incoming power
and signal cables should be a braided shield cable such as Alpha Wire 3248 or equivalent.

Installation
3.6.3 Power Load Requirements and Maximum Mounting Distances

Consider future needs when selecting cable size and power supply. The maximum distance
between the S5000 transmitter and the power supply depends on the sensor configuration
(sensing technology and one or two sensors), wire gauge, and the power supply voltage. The
table below outlines the maximum transmitter mounting distances. First determine if the sensor(s)
will be locally or remotely mounted. Then choose sensor type(s). The corresponding nominal
maximum power and mounting distances by wire gauge are shown.

3.6.5 Relay Electrical and Power Connections

Relay Board Stack Overview
The S5000 can be purchased with three relays. Two of the relays can be configured for either de-
energized (default) or energized and latching or non-latching. The third relay is a dedicated fault
relay.
All electrical connections to internal relays can be made directly on the PC board. The board is
labeled for Normally Open and Normally Closed de-energized state.

Tab. 21 Relay Specifications

If using AC power, the relay wires should not be run within the same conduit or cable tray as the
DC power supplied to the S5000 or the S5000 junction box. A separate wire entry on the device
should be used for AC power connected to the relays. The S5000 is built with an additional wire
entry to allow this.
Exceeding the volt-amp rating of the relay can cause damage to the switching contacts.

Operation
Relay Connections to Inductive Loads

If connecting the relays to motors, fluorescent lighting, or other inductive loads, it is necessary to
suppress any sparks or inductive feedback that may occur at the relay contact. These effects may
render the unit inoperative.
One way to reduce these effects is to install a Quencharc® (Part Number 630413) across the load
being switched.
Fault Relay Wiring and Configurations
The Fault relay state in non-fault operating condition is Energized and terminal connections are
supplied for Normally Closed and Normally Open.
The energized fault relay setting provides an electrical path for fail-safe relay operation. In the
event of any failure, including loss of power, the relay will change to the de-energized state to indi-
cate a fault condition.
The Fault relay state cannot be reconfigured.
Relay Energy State and Terminal Connections
The S5000 relay states are labeled for the default De-Energized state. The alarm/warning relay
energy state can be changed on the device, which will exchange the normally open and normally
closed terminals. The preferred relay energy state should be determined before making connec-
tions. Tab. 22 shows the terminal connections by energy state and is applicable to both relay 1
and relay 2.

4 Operation
The S5000 Series gas monitor is factory calibrated and shipped with the most common default
options to minimize set up effort. Any of the default settings can be changed to meet the user’s
individual needs via the EZ touch button on the display of the S5000 Controller application
installed on the mobile device if equipped with Bluetooth®.
4.1 Startup
4.1.1 Initial Startup
The first time the S5000 is powered on, the following will appear on the display:
• S5000
• Software Version No.
• Sensor Warm-up US
• Wait
The S5000 will remain in Start-up mode in which the fault relay is de-energized and the analog
output is 3.5 mA by default. The time the S5000 stays in Start-up mode depends on the sensor.
Oxygen and Carbon Monoxide sensors require a 30 minute warm-up time before being fully
functional. The device will be in fault during the 30 minute start-up time. All other sensor start-up
times vary, the unit will be in fault for the first 2 minutes of the start-up time and the analog output
signal will be at the maintenance level (3.5 mA default).
A full calibration is recommended after one hour of a sensor being installed and acclimated to the
environmental conditions. See section 5 for calibration details.
4.1.2 Startup after Power Failure
If the S5000 loses power, all of the settings are saved to the internal memory. When power is
restored to the device, it will go back to the same settings as before the loss of power. To check
the settings, go through the menu or view on the X/S Connect App.

Operation
4.2 Settings
The S5000 is a tool free transmitter. The infrared EZ touch button on the face of the display can
be used to navigate through the menu structure. The button is designed for use with fingers with
a “press” and “release” action, and works best without gloves.
The button works the same as the magnet does with the S4000 menu.
Changing a value
(1) Press and hold EZ Touch button.
(2) Wait for relevant menu to scroll (each menu scrolls twice).
(3) Release to enter menu while it is scrolling.
(4) Use Press and Release function to change values.
The EZ touch interface can be disabled, but will require a password. Menu settings can also be
activated using a magnet on the General Monitors logo.
Values that are changed in the menu are saved after main setup loop “Finished”, except for sensor
range selection under sensor setup. Each menu ends with "Finished?" scrolling twice on the
display. If the button is not touched during "Finished?", the menu will begin at the start again and
scroll through the options and values again. The new values that were entered will be displayed
on the first pass.
When user exits a menu by touching "Finished?" and there isn't a second sub menu, the previous
menu will be displayed starting at the menu that had just been used.
Some instrument settings are only configurable through Bluetooth® X/S Connect App,
Modbus, or HART. See section 4.4.
4.2.1 Instrument Settings

Operation
Disable Sensor
When removing a sensor from the transmitter while under power, the S5000 will enter a Sensor
Missing fault condition after the two minute Swap Delay period has expired (if enabled). If
Swap Delay is disabled, the transmitter will go into Sensor Missing fault immediately. If the system
is off at the time a sensor is removed, the transmitter will go into fault after its startup sequence.
This fault condition can be removed by disabling the affected second sensor position.
Disabling a sensor removes the fault and stops communications with the sensor, the sensor’s
reading on the display is removed, and the mA channel for that sensor position is set to 0 mA. By
default, the S5000 has the Sensor 2 position disabled. If at any time a sensor is connected to a
position that is disabled, the device will automatically enable that sensor position.

Operation
4.2.9 Swap Delay

Swap Delay allows the user a brief window to change an XCell sensor without the device going
into a fault condition. Once a sensor is disconnected from the transmitter, the user will have
2 minutes to reconnect a sensor. During this time, the device display and analog output will go to
its Maintenance level. If a sensor is reconnected or replaced during the 2 minute window, the new
sensor’s countdown sequence will begin and the analog output will remain at the Maintenance
level. After the sensor countdown is complete, the analog output will return to reporting a live gas
reading. If a sensor is not reconnected after the 2 minute window, the S5000 will enter a fault
condition. All XCell Sensors have Safe Delay and do not need to be disconnected from power
while changing sensors. For more details on how to change sensors, see section 6.2. Swap Delay
is enabled on all S5000 transmitters by default.

The Life and Health information reports the general health of the sensor. The sensor Life and
Health can either be "Good" or "Fair". When sensor status turns to "Fair", the remaining sensor
life is approximately 2-3 months, and a replacement sensor should be ordered to ensure
continuity of gas detection.
XCell sensors with TruCal (Hydrogen Sulfide and Carbon Monoxide) calculate remaining sensor
life using automated pulse checks. The pulse stimulates the sensor with a response similar to
having actual calibration gas applied. The stimulated response is compared to the last calibration
and will make adjustments to sensitivity to match the last calibration. When the required
adjustment is greater than the accuracy of the algorithm's adjustment, the sensor will call for a
calibration. The pulse check tracks the overall degradation in sensitivity and will adjust the Life
and Health status from "Good" to "Fair" when loss of sensitivity is due to overall sensor health.
TruCal pulse checks will also detect when the sensor is no longer capable of sensing gas,
resulting in a Fault condition.

cations require increasing alarm thresholds, except for Oxygen monitoring, which is most often a
decreasing alarm.
The default alarm direction for Oxygen sensor is decreasing, or downward.
The default alarm direction for all other sensors is increasing, or upward.
The alarm direction can be set to increasing/upward or decreasing/downward.
Alarm direction for Oxygen sensor can be changed through UI directly, or through Modbus/Blue-
tooth®/HART.
The alarm direction setting for all other sensors can only be changed through Modbus/Bluetooth®/
HART.
4.4.4 Alarm Enable/Disable
User can disable alarms by changing this setting.
Default value is Enabled for this setting.
User can change this setting to Enabled or Disabled.
5 Calibration
Calibration is the process of applying a known quantity of gas to the transmitter so that the
transmitter can adjust the precision and accuracy of the measurements made in normal operating
mode. This process ensures that gas measurements are as accurate as possible.
Calibration Warnings - Read before Calibrating
Although S5000 sensors are factory calibrated, another calibration is recommended once the unit
is installed in its final environmental destination.
WARNING!
Use zero gas when zeroing the S5000 transmitter if there is any possibility of background gas.
Otherwise, improper calibration could occur.
Always calibrate for the least sensitive gas or vapor (higher number category) expected to be
measured. Otherwise, instrument readings may be incorrect.
CAUTION!
Before attempting a calibration, power the unit at least one full hour.
Perform a calibration at initial start-up and at regular intervals to ensure a fully functional sensor.
5.1 Calibration Equipment

A gas cylinder with a known concentration of gas appropriate for the range of measurement is
needed. Sensors come with preset span gas values appropriate for the measurement range.
US
All of the calibration hardware for XCell sensors is included in a convenient calibration kit. It
includes a carrying case that can fit two cylinders, either a 0.5 L/min regulator for passive sensors
or a 1 L/min regulator for IR400 and Digital Sensors, tubing, and any other accessories required
for each sensor type. The calibration kit can be ordered separately (CALKIT1) or as a single line
item with the gas cylinder. See Tab. 31 for a complete list of calibration cylinders.
The Digital Toxic, Oxygen, and Catalytic bead sensors share the same sensor body design and
use the same calibration hardware. A black plastic sensor guard should be screwed to the bottom
of the sensor body before calibration and removed after calibration. The calibration tubing should
be thread through a green rubber boot and then attached to the inlet of the sensor guard. The
edge of the green rubber boot should be flush against the sensor guard while calibrating.
Passive sensors use different calibration hardware to accommodate the different sized sensor
housing. Passive MOS sensors can be calibrated with either calibration gas cylinders or ampules.
See Tab. 31 for part number details.

Calibration
The IR400 sensor has different calibration hardware, but is still included in CALKIT1.
The sensor guard and rubber boot should be removed after calibration. The sensor
guard actually makes the sensor more sensitive to gas in windy conditions and could
result in a false alarm.

5.2 Calibration Frequency US
The frequency of calibration gas testing depends on the operating time, chemical exposure, and
type of sensor. Especially in new installations or applications, it is recommended that the first
sensors be calibrated more often to establish the sensor performance in this particular
environment.
For this, record the "as found" and "as left" values and track the percent adjustment over time.
Then, gradually extend calibration intervals until the percent adjustment is greater than the
expected accuracy of the sensor.

Calibration
5.3 Calibration Frequency for XCell Sensors with TruCal (H2S & CO only)
XCell sensors with TruCal actively self-monitor for operation and accuracy with fewer manual cali-
brations required in order to maintain the equivalent level of performance. When the sensor
detects a change in sensitivity outside what is typical for a six hour time interval, the sensor will
call for a calibration. The transmitter LED status indicators slowly pulse green, alerting the user
that a calibration is recommended to maintain optimum performance. There are no changes to the
analog output when TruCal calls for a manual calibration.
Actual TruCal sensor performance will depend on the application, background gas exposure, and
environment. To validate XCell sensors with TruCal, it is recommended that users follow their
regular calibration cycle and record the “as found” and “as left” values, tracking the percent adjust-
ment over time. Once a baseline is established, the calibration intervals can be extended until the
percent adjustment is greater than the expected accuracy of the sensor.
5.4 Calibration Types: Zero vs. Span
There are two types of calibration; zero and span calibration.
The zero calibration resets the baseline level reading to zero. If the target gas is suspected to be
occasionally present, it is best to also use a zero gas cylinder during the zero calibration. If the
target gas is not present in the atmosphere, an additional calibration cylinder is not required.
The span calibration is a process that involves first zeroing the baseline reading, then applying a
known amount of target gas so that the accuracy and precision of the transmitter can be adjusted
to the known value. The known concentration of gas is called a "Span Value" because it
represents the span or reach of the calibration curve from zero to that value.
US
Fig. 32 Calibration Curve

The Sensor Span Value (i.e. Cal Level) in the device menu should be the same as the
concentration listed on the calibration gas cylinder.

5.5 How to Zero Calibrate XCell and IR400 Sensors

NOTICE
If a password is enabled, you will not be able to proceed with the calibration without the password.
To abort, press the EZ touch button or apply magnet over GM logo before applying
target gas.
In the event that a calibration cannot be completed, the user can acknowledge the FAIL
by pressing both EZ touch buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds. The unit will revert to
the settings of the last successful calibration.
WARNING!
The regulator used with the zero gas cylinders should not be the same as the regulator used for
the target gas. The regulator can be contaminated with the target gas over time, and thus raise
the detection baseline and make the sensor less sensitive to the target gas.
If there is no target gas in the atmosphere around the sensor, using a zero gas cylinder
is optional.
To zero calibrate the sensor:

(1) Screw the sensor guard to the bottom of the sensor housing.
(2) Place the green calibration cap over the sensor guard inlet so that it is flush with the bottom
of the sensor guard and completely covers the sensor guard inlet.
(3) Attach the tubing to the plastic stem protruding through the green calibration cap.
(4) Screw the regulator onto the top of the zero gas cylinder.
If a password is enabled, you will need to enter it to access the menu system.
(5) Press EZ touch until Zero is displayed, and release.

(6) Once the screen displays Zero in Progress, turn on zero gas flow by turning knob on the
US
regulator.
(7) Wait while the device displays Zero in Progress.
(8) Once the zero calibration is complete, a Zero PASS or FAIL is displayed.
If PASS displays, the procedure is complete.
If FAIL displays, the procedure was unsuccessful (see section 6.4).
(9) Remove the zero calibration equipment from the device including the sensor guard and
calibration cap.
(10) Remove the calibration equipment from the device, including the sensor guard and
calibration cap.

5.6 How to Calibrate XCell Sensors

See section 5.7 for calibrating oxygen sensors.
NOTICE
If a password is enabled, you will not be able to proceed with the calibration without the password.
To abort, press the EZ touch button or apply magnet over GM logo before applying
target gas.
In the event that a calibration cannot be completed, the user can acknowledge the FAIL
by pressing both EZ touch button until “Reset” is displayed and then release. The device
will revert to the settings of the last successful calibration.
If it is suspected that gases are present, it will be necessary to purge the sensor envi-
ronment with zero air.
To calibrate the sensor:

(1) Attach a regulator to the zero gas cylinder (if using) and the calibration cylinder.
(2) Attach the plastic sensor guard to the bottom of the sensor housing if not already installed.
(3) Place the green calibration cap over the sensor guard inlet so that it is flush with the bottom
of the sensor guard and completely covers the sensor guard inlet.
(4) Attach the tubing to the plastic stem protruding through the green calibration cap.
(5) Push the other end of the tubing over the zero cylinder regulator. Ensure the tubing
completely covers the gas outlet.
(6) Press EZ touch until Calibration is displayed, and release.
(7) Select Sensor #1 or Sensor #2, and then select “Finished?” to start the calibration process.
(8) Once the screen displays Zero in Progress, turn on zero gas flow by turning knob on the US
regulator (if using).
(9) Wait while the device displays Zeroing.
(10) Once the Zero Calibration is complete, remove the tubing from the sensor guard inlet.
(11) The display will show Apply Gas. Attach tubing for calibration gas and turn on the regulator
Display will show “Calibration in Progress”.
“Calibration Complete Remove Gas” will show when span is complete.
If “PASS” displays, the procedure is complete.
If “FAIL” displays, the procedure was unsuccessful. See section 6.4.
(12) Remove the calibration equipment from the device, including the sensor guard and
calibration cap.
The green calibration cap should always be removed after calibration.

Calibration
5.7 How to Calibrate an Oxygen XCell Sensor

An oxygen span gas cylinder is not needed if the sensor is in an area that maintains ambient air
conditions. Follow the same process for XCell sensors as described in section 5.6. When the
display prompts "Apply Span Gas", simply allow the countdown to occur without applying gas.
If the sensor is located in an area of normally low or enriched oxygen, then a 20.8% oxygen
sample must be applied.
5.8 How to Calibrate an IR400 Sensor
A full span calibration is not required for the IR400 sensors. Any degradation of the sensor's
performance is associated with slight drifts in its zero response. Restoring the sensor's zero is
typically sufficient.
See section 5.5 for zero calibration instructions.
If a full calibration of the IR400 sensor is required, a larger calibration cap is used and
covers the entire sensor guard during calibration. The calibration cap must be removed
from the XIR sensor guard after completing the zeroing and/or spanning procedure.
5.9 How to Calibrate a Passive Sensor (Catalytic Bead or MOS)
If the sensor is fitted with a sensor guard, calibration must be performed with the sensor
guard in place.
The sensor calibration cup should be removed after calibration.
If it is suspected that gases are present, it will be necessary to purge the sensor envi-
ronment with zero air.
To calibrate sensor: US
(1) Attach a regulator to the zero air cylinder (if using) and the calibration cylinder.
(2) Attach the plastic calibration cup (P/N 1400152-1 or 1400154) to the bottom of the sensor if
not already installed.
(3) Attach the tubing to the plastic stem protruding through the calibration cup.
(4) Push the other end of the tubing over the zero cylinder regulator. Ensure the tubing
completely covers the gas outlet.
(5) Press EZ touch until Calibration is displayed, and release the touch.
(6) Turn on zero gas flow by turning knob on the regulator (if using).
(7) Unit will start flashing the sensor life. Tap the EZ Touch if you want to reset the sensor life.
(8) Wait while the device displays “Zero in Progress”.
(9) Once the Zero Calibration is complete, remove the tubing from the sensor guard inlet.
(10) The display will show “Apply Gas”. Attach tubing for calibration gas and turn on the regulator.
(11) Display will show “Calibration in Progress”.

Maintenance
(12) “Calibration Complete. Remove Gas” will show when span is complete.
(13) Turn off the calibration gas regulator. Remove the calibration equipment from the device,
including the sensor guard and calibration cap. Unit will return to normal operation.
If “Cal Fail” and fault code displayed, the procedure was unsuccessful. See section 6.4.
5.10 XCell Catalytic Bead Failsafe
Catalytic bead sensors require the presence of oxygen in order to sense combustible gas. In the
event of very large combustible gas leaks that exceed 100 % LEL, enough oxygen can be
displaced so that the sensor's response to gas is no longer proportional to the calibration profile.
The XCell catalytic bead has a locking fail safe mechanism that prevents the false reporting of a
safe condition while the % LEL concentration is still above 100 % LEL. When the gas
concentration exceeds 100 % LEL, the sensor will go into LOC over range.
To clear the LOC over rage, the user needs to acknowledge and calibrate the sensor. To
acknowledge LOC over range, place one finger over each of the EZ touch buttons and hold for
1 second before releasing. This will allow a recalibration of the sensor to clear the LOC condition.
CAUTION!
Ensure that the area has been cleared of gas before acknowledging the LOC Over Range and
recalibrating the sensor.
5.11 Calibration Confirmation

The S5000 Series Monitor records the date of the last successful calibration. This date can then
be displayed via the Status Menu.
6 Maintenance
WARNING!
Repair or alteration of the device, beyond the procedures described in this manual or by anyone
other than a person authorized by MSA, could cause the unit to fail to perform properly. Use only
genuine MSA replacement parts when performing any maintenance procedures described in this
manual.
Substitution of components can seriously impair performance of the device, alter intrinsic safety
and flameproof/explosion proof characteristics or void agency approvals. Failure to follow this
warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
The S5000 Gas Monitor is constantly performing a self-check. When a problem is found, it
displays the appropriate error message (see section 6.4). When a critical error is detected within
the device, the 4-20 mA output signal goes to a fault condition of 0 mA, 1.25 mA, 3.5 mA or user
defined level.
US

Maintenance
6.1 IR400 Cleaning Procedure

The presence of particulate matter, oil films, liquid water, or the residue from water drops on the
two monitor windows can adversely affect its performance. The sensor guard is designed to
prevent foreign solids or liquids from reaching the monitor's optical system. Additionally, heating
elements are incorporated into the device to prevent water condensation. Under severe condi-
tions, however, some material may collect on these surfaces and it may be necessary to occa-
sionally check and clean the windows.
While both windows are made of a highly durable material that is not easily scratched, avoid
excessive pressure when cleaning them. Clean, cotton-tipped applicators are the most convenient
tool to remove material collected on the windows.
(1) Remove the sensor guard.
(2) Use a dry applicator or one moistened with distilled water to wipe the window and remove
dust.
(3) Use an additional clean, dry applicator to remove any residual water.
(4) Use an applicator moistened with isopropyl alcohol to remove heavy deposits of solids,
liquids or oil films. Clean the window again with a second applicator moistened with distilled
water; then, dry the window with a final applicator.
Avoid using excessive amounts of water or alcohol in the cleaning procedure, and inspect
the window to ensure that the entire surface is clean.
(5) The device will go into a “Cleaning required” fault with an analog output of 2.0 mA when
cleaning is needed.
The S5000 analog output may go down to 1.25 mA while the optical path is blocked, and
display will indicate “Beam Block”.
While in "Beam Block" fault, the sensor will not respond to the presence of gas.
(6) When cleaning is done and the objects are removed from the sensor window, the device
returns to normal operation. If water or isopropyl alcohol was used, allow the device to
operate for 15 minutes to completely dry before replacing the sensor guard continuing to
monitor for combustible gas.
(7) Replace the sensor guard.
US
When the cleaning process is complete, be sure to remove all objects from the light
path. It is recommended to check the sensor’s response to zero and calibration gas after
cleaning.
WARNING!
Do not place foreign objects in the sensor's analytical region (except per the “S5000 IR400
Cleaning Procedure” as described above); otherwise, the infrared beam can be partially blocked,
causing the sensor to generate false readings. All objects must be removed from the sensor's
analytical region for it to function properly.

Maintenance
6.2 Replacing an XCell Sensor

The only routine maintenance item is the sensing element itself, which has a limited lifetime. The
S5000 sensors with TruCal technology will indicate when the sensor is near end of life through the
Status Menu. When the Sensor Life & Health status is "Fair", there is approximately 2 month time
frame to replace the sensor before it will no longer function. Actual time between “Fair” status and
sensor end of life depends on exact environmental conditions. When a TruCal sensor is no longer
capable of sensing it will go into fault and LEDs will flash yellow. It is good practice to obtain a
replacement sensing element before the sensing element within the unit becomes inoperative.
WARNING!
Handle the sensor carefully; the electrochemical version is a sealed unit which contains a corro-
sive electrolyte.
Any leaked electrolyte that come in contact with skin, eyes or clothes can cause burns.
If any contact with the electrolyte does occur, immediately rinse with a large quantity of water. On
contact with the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water for 15 minutes and consult a doctor.
CAUTION!
Do not install a leaking sensor in the sensing head assembly. The leaking sensor must be
disposed of in accordance with local, state and federal laws.
There is no need to open the main enclosure. Simply unscrew the sensor assembly located on
the bottom of the main assembly.
WARNING!
XCell Digital Sensors marked for Class I hazardous (classified) locations and installed in a Class I
hazardous (classified) location only may be changed under power. To change, unscrew sensor at
least three full turns (but no more than four full turns from its fully engaged position), wait
10 seconds, and then remove the sensor completely. Failure to follow this warning can result in
the ignition of a hazardous atmosphere.
For XCell Digital Sensors marked Class II or III and installed in a Class II or III hazardous
location, the atmosphere must be free of dust or fibers and filings and the power removed from
the unit before the sensor cap can be removed from the housing. Failure to follow this warning
can result in the ignition of a hazardous atmosphere.
Identify the sensor assembly needed via the A-5K-SENS code on the interior sensor label and
obtain the appropriate sensor assembly; replace sensor assembly.
US
Alarm set points, span value, full scale limit and alarm direction will not change when
replacing a sensor with the same gas type.
Alarm set points, span value, full scale limit and alarm direction will change to the new
sensor’ settings when replacing a sensor with a different gas type.
The S5000 Gas Monitor is shipped with the Sensor Swap Delay enabled. IF enabled, the 4-20 mA
output signal goes to 3.5 mA and the FAULT relay will hold off a fault indication for 2 minutes. This
setting allows the operator to exchange sensor modules without a FAULT indication.
It is recommended that all other maintenance be performed at an MSA factory-autho-

rized service center.

Maintenance
6.3 Replacing a Passive Sensor (Cat Bead or MOS)

When the passive Catalytic Bead or MOS sensor is damaged or gradually losing sensitivity and
eventually fails to respond to gas adequately or fails to pass calibration, the sensor needs to be
replaced.
The mounting threads of the sensor head may require lubrication. Grease must not be used. As
an alternate, PTFE (Teflon) tape may be used on sensor threads.
To replace the passive sensors:
(1) Declassify the area and make sure there is no hazardous gas/vapor present.
(2) Power down the S5000 transmitter.
(3) Unscrew the lid.
(4) Remove the User Interface Module.
(5) Refer to the sensor wiring diagram label inside the S5000 transmitter to locate the sensor
connector and unplug it from the transmitter.
(6) Unscrew the sensor head until it is totally off. Guide the sensor wires so they will not get
caught by the internal parts of the S5000 while sensor head is turning.
(7) Guide the connector and wires of the new sensor head through the conduit entry for sensor.
Do not plug in the sensor connector at this time.
(8) Screw in the new sensor head. Guide the sensor wires so they will not get caught by the
internal parts of the S5000 while sensor head is turning.
(9) Verify the sensor connector wiring against the wiring diagram.
(10) Plug in the connector to the indicated header and make sure they are mated correctly.

Appendix: HART Specific Information
10 Appendix: HART Specific Information

The S5000 Gas Monitor is available with an optional HART (Highway Addressable Remote
Transducer) output communications protocol. With this option, the S5000 complies with HART
Protocol Revision 7 and uses the 16-bit manufacturer and device codes. This document specifies
all the device specific features and documents HART Protocol implementation details (e.g., the
Engineering Unit Codes supported). These specifications assume the reader is somewhat familiar
with HART Protocol requirements and terminology.
This specification is a technical reference for HART-capable HOST Application Developers,
System Integrators and knowledgeable End Users. It also provides functional specifications (e.g.,
commands, enumerations and performance requirements) used during Field Device deployment,
maintenance, testing, and operations. It is recommended that the 4-20 mA output be the primary
gas monitoring signal. The HART signal can be the secondary method.
