1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1.1 GENERAL
The Model 5100-02-IT Catalytic Bead Combustible Gas Sensor Module is a member of the Sentry
Information Technology ”IT” family of gas sensor transmitter modules. IT modules offer a broad array of
features including:
• Integral Alphanumeric display
• 180 day calibration frequency
• SIL-2 Certified
• FM Approved for performance and hazardous locations
• 4-20 mA output
• Modbus® RTU interface
• SMC Sentry interface
• 316 Stainless steel enclosure option
• Remote alarm reset
• Optional Alarm Relays
• Remote sensor option
IT modules are designed, and approved for installation and operation in hazardous locations.
1.2 PRODUCT CONFIGURATION
Various module configuration options are available. Where applicable, these options are factory configured
prior to shipment.
1.3 THEORY OF OPERATION
Catalytic bead gas sensors detect gas by comparing the resistance of two heated elements. One element is
catalytic to enhance the burning of combustible gases, the other element is passive. Electronic circuits are
used to compare the change in the catalytic bead resistance relative to the passive bead. The relative change
is calibrated to determine the concentration of the gas of interest.
1.4 MODES OF OPERATION
When the module is operated in conjunction with a Sentry controller, the alarm relay setup (See section 4.3)
should be set to “Sentry”, allowing the Sentry controller to manage alarm relay action rather than the
5100-02-IT Gas Sensor Module.
An available option, applicable only to Sentry installations, is a connector card which allows daisy chain
installation using the Sentry multiplex capability. Use of the connector card reduces costs by avoiding the
requirement for wiring junction boxes. The connector card has two sets of connections, allowing for a
continuous run to the next module

The standard configuration is set up for a 3-wire non-isolated connection. An optional 4-wire isolated
connection is also available and can be enabled by changing JP1 and JP2.
1.4.4 REMOTE SENSOR (APPENDIX E)
The Remote Sensor option enables the remote mounting of the sensor up to 50’ from the transmitter.
1.4.5 HART CONNECTION (APPENDIX F)
A HART interface option is available. Refer to Appendix F for information.
1.4.6 OPTIONAL INTEGRAL RELAYS
The optional relays are integral to the gas sensor module and are rated as SPDT, 250VAC, 5 Amps for the
High Alarm and Low Alarm relays and SPDT, 250VAC, 0.25 Amp for the Trouble relay.
If the gas sensor module is provided with the optional relays, it will include Terminal P4 on the interface
board (Figure 4-3). Relay output connections are on P4.
1.4.7 REMOTE ALARM RESET
An input is available for connection of remote alarm reset/acknowledge. Figure 4-6 provides the wiring
termination for connecting the remote alarm reset. This only resets local alarms, not Sentry alarms.

2.1 INTRODUCTION
Although IT Transmitter Modules are designed and constructed for installation and operation in industrial
applications including "hostile" environments, caution should be taken to insure that the installation is made in
compliance with this instruction manual and that certain procedures and conditions are avoided. This chapter
discusses the necessary cautions. Read the entire chapter prior to installation of the equipment.
2.2 IT MODULES - GENERAL
Avoid installing sensor modules where they will be unnecessarily exposed to wind, dust, water (esp. direct hose
down), shock, or vibration. Observe temperature range limitations.
Sensors may be adversely affected by prolonged exposure to certain materials. Loss of sensitivity, or
corrosion, may be gradual if such materials are present in low concentrations. These materials include:
silicones, sulfides, Halides (compounds containing chlorine, fluorine, bromine, iodine), acid vapors, caustic
liquids or mists.
Care has been taken by the manufacturer to ship your modules in protective packaging to avoid contamination
prior to installation. It is recommended that the modules remain protected during installation and that the
covering be removed immediately prior to system start-up.
During normal use the sensor is protected from dirt and oil contamination by a sintered metal cover. If this
cover becomes clogged, the response of the sensor will be reduced. Protect the sensor from contamination by
careful placement, or by use of rain and dust shields.
Sensor modules must not be painted. Paint may contain compounds which will contaminate the sensor. Paint
will cause clogging of the sintered metal cover and will cause difficulties during attachment of the calibration
head or other maintenance activity. It is recommended that the module be tagged "DO NOT PAINT".
2.3 WIRING
The manufacturer recommends that extra caution be taken where the installation is near any sources of
electromagnetic or radio frequency interference. Precautions include:
• Avoid running sensor module cable close to high power cables, radio transmission lines, or cables
subject to pulses of high current.
• Avoid running cables near large electric motors or generators.
• When shielding is used, it is recommended that shields be grounded at the controller and nowhere else.
• All splices must be via either a termination hardware system or soldered. Improperly spliced cable can
result in corrosion, resistance changes and system errors. The use of wire nuts and crimp-on
connectors is unacceptable.
NOTE
Installation and wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
AC Voltage conductors are not to be run in the same conduit as DC voltage
conductors.
Page: 7
Model 5100-02-IT Combustible Gas Sensor Module
Note that the 5100-02-IT has a gas factor scaling feature in which a calibration standard of Methane or
Propane may be used in conjunction with scaling factors to cause alarm function in %LEL scale of another
gas. See Appendix G.
Table 2 - 1: Combustible gases detected by Model 5100-02-IT Combustible Gas Sensor Module

Model 5100-02-IT Combustible Gas Sensor Module
3. QUICK START
3.1 OVERVIEW
The gas sensor module has been supplied factory calibrated and ready for immediate installation and
operation. An installer familiar with installation and operation of gas detection products can use this section to
begin immediate use of the module.
3.2 WIRING
See section 4.2 to determine if 3-wire or 4-wire operation is necessary.
Provide twisted shielded wiring from the power supply/control device to the sensor module location. Use
stranded wire that is 18 AWG or larger.
3.3 MODULE INSTALLATION
The sensor module can be mounted in a variety of configurations supported by the conduit. See figure 1-1 to
determine which configuration is best for your specific application. The default configuration enables the
modules to be put in line with other modules with the sensor element below the transmitter. To change the
configuration simply remove the transmitter and rotate to the appropriate configuration and remount the
standoffs and transmitter.
The module is designed to be installed on a ¾” conduit. Two important warnings:
• The installation must meet any hazardous environment codes for electrical equipment.
• The sensor module enclosure mounting must be spaced far enough from any vertical surface
to allow removal and replacement of the sensor assembly which is threaded into one ¾”
conduit entry.
• Sensor housing must be oriented vertically pointing downward.
• If module is installed outdoors it is recommended that it be sheltered from direct sunlight.
3.4 TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION
To install the transmitter printed circuit assembly into the housing, carefully turn the faceplate so that the
printing is in the correct horizontal position for the mounting configuration and slide the assembly over the two
stand-offs in the enclosure.
Hand tighten the two captive panel thumb screws into the stand-offs. Replace the enclosure cover prior to
providing power to the transmitter
• If the transmitter is installed in a classified hazardous area, replace the threaded cover prior to
providing power.
3.5 START-UP & OPERATION
To begin operation of the sensor module activate the instrument loop with 10-30 VDC. Each time the sensor
module is powered up it will perform a warm-up for approximately 5-10 minutes. During this time the display
will read “Starting”. The loop output will be held at 4 mA.
NOTE: If the sensor is uncalibrated, the startup display will state “START” instead of “STARTING”
After the warm-up period has expired, the display will indicate the gas concentration. Also, the instrument loop
will be released to output current in the range of 4 to 20 mA. The actual current is linear with the gas
concentration.

4. INSTALLATION
NOTE
All IT modules are factory pre-configured and calibrated.
All modules are tagged to indicate the configuration including the sensor module number
Identify all components during unpacking and install using the factory configuration.
NOTE
Module must always be installed vertically with sensor pointing down.
4.2 WIRING (Figure 4-2 refers to Analog, Modbus and Sentry operation)
For a 4-Wire isolated connection, set jumpers, located on the bottom of the transmitter board, to the upper
position as illustrated in Figure 4.4. Verify that both jumpers are in the position marked by 4-wire. When
using a 4-wire connection, a minimum of 2 each of an 18 AWG, 2 conductor twisted/shielded pair cable
must be used. A cable shield must never be used as a conductor. Larger gauge wire is recommended with
distances over 1000’. Connect wires as shown in figure 4-4.
4.2.2 MODBUS OPERATION USING RS-485 CONNECTION
Use a minimum of 18 AWG, 2 conductor for DC power connection. No shield required. In addition use a
minimum of 24 AWG, low capacitance, shielded data cable for RS485 half duplex communication. The
installation may be planned in a manner which provides up to 32 sensor modules on a single home run.
TERMINATION RESISTOR JUMPERS:
Termination resistors are used in RS-485 wire runs to provide impedance matching. The IT series modules
use a 120 Ohm resistor for this function. The cable being used for this RS-485 connection must have a
minimum of 100 Ohm impedance with a maximum of 120 Ohms.
Installations where the cable length is under 100’, termination resistors may not be required. In installations
where the cable length is greater than 100’, it is recommended to place the termination jumpers on the first
device and last device on the RS-485 wire run. Termination jumpers must be removed from all other
modules connected between the first and last device. The first device in the RS-485 multiplexed bus is
usually a gas controller or PLC. Factory term resistor setting is “not enabled.”
BIAS JUMPERS: (BIAS A, BIAS B)
Bias resistors are used to force RS-485 receiver outputs to a known (fail-safe) state, when the bus is idle.
Bias jumpers are always installed in pairs as the bias must be placed on both the TX A and TX B lines.
Sierra Monitor’s IT series of combustible gas sensors automatically apply the bias jumpers, and are factory
installed so that the bias is always enabled.
4.2.3 SENTRY OPERATION USING SENTRY PSG CONNECTION
Use a minimum of 18 AWG, 3-conductor cable up to 2000’. The cable may or may not be shielded. We
recommend shielded cable in circumstances that there could be RF or EM interference present. Shield to
be terminated and grounded only at the Sentry controller. Shield must be cut and dressed at the module
end so that no part of it comes in contact with the conduit or ground.
NOTE:
Be sure to follow all local electric code and safety requirements when installing the 5100-02-IT Gas Sensor Module
4.2.4 GENERAL
Install conduit as required by local code or construction specifications. Provide for splice boxes where
multiple modules will be wired to a single run. Pull conductors of the correct gauge wire from the controller
to each splice box and from the respective splice box to each planned module location. See for proper wire
termination in the splice box. Twisted wire secured with wire nuts is not an acceptable splice.
NOTES
RFI Noise Suppressor must be added to power/ground as per Appendix D.
The drain wire of shielded cable must NOT be used as one of the conductors.
Installation and wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Temperature
rating of cable wire must be at least 75oC. If cable runs through higher temperature
environments, it must be specified for that environment.

NOTES
When housing earth grounding is required for the installation a grounding lug is located in
the base of the enclosure. Install the earth ground wire under the green lug.

5.3 SET-UP
The sensor module set-points menu is used to initially set-up the alarm set points, relay actions, gas type and
range, 4-20 mA action and RS-485/Sentry address and baud rates (See Menu Key in Appendix J). When in the
SETUP screen use the [▲] or [▼] keys to select submenu and use [E] to enter.
• Alarms: Use the [▲] or [▼] keys to select Low Alarm (Warning) or High Alarm (Alarm) menu. Key
[▲] will adjust the setpoint upwards and Key [▼] will adjust the value downwards. Once it reaches
the desired setpoint, Key [E] will accept it and ACK will appear. Set-points can be configured using
this menu to values between 0 and 60.
• Relays: Use the [▲] or [▼] keys to select Low Alarm (Warning) or High Alarm (Alarm) relay menu
and press [E]. Use the [▲] or [▼] keys to select the correct alarm relay action for the application,
Latch, Sentry or Non-Latch. Selecting “Sentry” enables the Sentry controller to make all alarm
action decisions. * indicates the current selection.
• Gas Factor: A calibration standard of Methane may be used in conjunction with scaling factors to
cause alarm function in %LEL scale of another gas. See Appendix I for a list of the scaling factors.
Note that if the 5100-02-IT is interfaced to a Sentry controller that the gas factor can be set in the
Sentry or the Gas Sensor Module but NOT IN BOTH. It is recommended that the gas factor be
adjusted in the Gas Sensor Module so that the display values on both the Gas Sensor Module and
the Sentry are matched. Note that gas factors are not applicable during calibration.
• 4-20mA: Use the [▲] or [▼] keys to select Calib, or CalibOut TblOut menu and press [E]. The
“Calib” section of the menu allows the user to calibrate the 4 mA and 20 mA outputs. To calibrate
the 4 mA and 20 mA outputs it is necessary to have an amp meter connected to the 5100-02-IT and
upon selecting the 4 mA output calibration then the [▲] or [▼] keys can be used to adjust the 4 mA
reading on the amp meter until it reads 4 mA. Similar steps can then be performed for the 20 mA
output. The CalibOut section allows the user to select the 4-20 mA output action desired during
calibration. * indicates the current selected value. Available selections include:
▪ Track – the 4-20mA value tracks the calibration gas exposed to the gas sensor module
▪ C2.5mA – the 4-20mA value is held at 2.5mA during calibration
▪ C4.00mA – the 4-20mA value is held at 4.0mA during calibration.
The Tbl Out menu enables the user to select the mA output value for the Trouble Alarm. Select
“T1.5mA” to choose the 1.5mA default valve. Or select “User mA” and use the [▲] or [▼] keys to
select any valve between 0.5mA and 3.7mA.
• RS-485 - Use the [▲] or [▼] keys to select Address or Baud rate menu and press [E]. Note that the
5100-02-IT has a rotary switch on the faceplate and it is used to select addresses 1-15. When
connected to Sentry the user can select 1-8 and using Modbus RS-485 the user can select
addresses 1-15. For Modbus addresses above 15, set the rotary switch to 0 and then use the
“Address” menu to select any address between 16 and 254. The Baud rate menu allows the user to
select a baud rate of 38400, 19200, 9600, 4800 or 2400. * indicates current selection.
RS485 default parameters are: 38,400 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity

6. CALIBRATION
The 5100-02-IT has been calibrated in the factory prior to shipment. It is recommended that the user check
calibration before placing in service. The Combustible sensor module must be calibrated every 6 months.
Periodic functional tests are advisable for critical applications and hostile environments.
The sensor module microprocessor software includes high level self checking algorithms which provide
continuous sensor diagnostic and self adjustment. Users may elect to increase calibration periods based on
low drift experience during the first two calibration periods.
Calibration of the Combustible Sensor is accomplished by simple menu based steps and application of span
gas.
NOTE
If an error is made during any stage of the calibration process, hold the magnet stick at the
key M for 10 seconds. A scrolling display will indicate “Calibration aborted” and the sensor
module will exit the calibration activity and return to normal operating mode. The calibration
procedure can then be restarted
Calibration must be performed only when the area is known to be clear of combustible gas. If necessary, use a
portable instrument to confirm that there is no background combustible gas.
For compliance with Factory Mutual (FM) Apparatus, the Sierra Monitor Model 1200-26, 1250-01, 1256-01,
1260 -02 are the only FM Approved calibration gas delivery device. Use Model 5358-01 Calibration Adapter or
Model 5360-00 Gas Delivery Fitting.
Calibration gas is can be delivered to the sensors via the following delivery devices:
Model 5358-01: Calibration Adapter - use with portable calibrators. See 6-1.
Model 5360-00: Calibration Gas Delivery fitting - permanently installed fitting which
allows tubing to be run to a convenient delivery location
Calibration gas must be delivered to the sensor using the flow rate and duration listed in below:
Model Gas Flow Period
5100-02-IT Methane 300 cc/min Until Stable – 3 minute minimum
NOTE:
Following calibration, the combustible module counts down for 300 seconds. During this time the module is updating its
internal memory and it is very important that its power not be interrupted

HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) Protocol is the global standard for sending and receiving
digital information across analog wires between smart devices and control or monitoring system. HART is a bi-
directional communication protocol that provides data access between intelligent field instruments and host
systems. A host can be any software application from technician's hand-held device or laptop to a plant's
process control, asset management, safety or other system using any control platform. The HART protocol
used on this gas sensor module has been developed to comply fully with the HART specifications outlined by
the HART Communication Foundation (HCF).
If the HART interface board has been provided with the gas sensor module, then HART will operate via the 4-
20 mA interface automatically. While no specific handheld device is necessary for HART operation, the gas
sensor module does comply with the HART standard so any handheld or PC-based HCF certified tool will
work.
The information below provides the operator instructions on connecting HART and the HART Protocol Menu.
A response code of 0 indicates SUCCESS. This applies to all commands. As per HART specification, all command
responses will have a response code and status byte, plus any command specific data bytes as indicated in the
following tables.
