1 Introduction Warning • Warning: To prevent ignition of flammable or combustible atmospheres, disconnect power before servicing. • Do not use the controller if it is damaged. Before you use the controller, inspect the case. • If the controller is damaged or something is missing, contact Honeywell Analytics immediately. To ensure your personal safety, read “Safety Information” (below) before you use the controller.
2 A Installation B Guidelines These guidelines must be strictly observed to assure that the equipment will work properly. If they are not applied, Honeywell Analytics will not recognize any liability in case of improper operation. • Make sure to locate all units easily accessible for proper service. • Avoid any location where units could be subject to vibrations. • Avoid any location close to any electromagnetic interference. • Avoid any location where there are large temperature swings.
3 Wiring Figure 3.
3 Wiring continued Example of system wiring with network devices: Figure 4.
A Wiring continued Communication B Power The communication cables have to be grounded using the shield terminal. Up to 32 network devices can be installed on each channel. The power requirement range for the AirAlertTM96d controller is 24 Vdc, 500 mA. The system must be grounded to the power supply. A dedicated circuit breaker should be used. Use 14 AWG two conductor, stranded cable (Belden 5100UE or equivalent), up to 1,000 ft.
3 C Wiring continued Relay Outputs D The relay outputs will withstand up to 5 amps at 30 Vdc (resistive load only). They can be used to activate horns and strobes. Refer to Figure 7 for proper wiring. Each relay can be configured in the PROGRAMMING MENU. Default setting is: Relay 1 (J25) = Warn Relay 2 (J26) = Alarm Relay 3 (J3) = High Alarm Relay 4 (J7) = Fault Relay rating: 5 A, 30 Vdc (resistive load) Figure 7.
4 Initial Startup Be sure to connect the system as shown in the wiring detail before powering up the unit. Apply power to the controller and all network devices. Then remove the SHDN jumper to start the unit. A Datalogger (SDcard) The information logging is stopped • No Sdcard flag is displayed on the screen • The Sdcard LED blinks User Interface The main display indicates the firmware revision number, time and date, number of sensor/events/ groups programmed in the controller, etc.
5 Operation The available system operations are based on four different modes: normal mode, single Tx mode, debug mode, and simulation mode. These system modes enable the user to use, analyse, debug, and simulate actions that can be taken by the system. Password is needed to access the different programming menus. The system services might be interrupted by some menu operations. A Normal Mode When the system is in Normal Mode, some values can be changed without interrupting the system service.

7 A Configuration Main Menu To access the MAIN MENU, press the Enter key and enter the password. The MAIN MENU offers the following eight programming fields: The following windows are accessible with the Left and Right arrows. Ident (Identification of the Network Component) 1. Tx Info -IdentEC-F9 NH3 Menu 1. Tx Info 2. Groups 3. Events 4. Aquir Menu 5. Copy 6. Config 7. Network 8. Tests The cursor to the left of a field on the display indicates that this field is accessible.
7 Configuration continued Display (programming the label) 1. Tx Info 001 -Displayedit (20 char. Max) Engine Room The “label” is a descriptive message of up to 20 characters appearing on the display for a network component. It applies to sensors, relay modules and annuciators panels and is located on the first line of the display. For a MODBUS sensor, the default label is composed of the name of the sensor or network component followed by the sensor type (if applicable) and the component address.
7 Configuration continued Event (Programming Events) Delay (Programming of Delays) Default event configuration (EVENT MENU): BEFORE and AFTER delays are used to retard the activation or deactivation of an action. The BEFORE delay retards the activation of an action. When an event becomes true, the action will only be activated after the indicated delay. The AFTER delay retards the action’s deactivation. When the event is no longer true, the action remains until after the delay period.
7 Configuration continued Acquisition (Programming the Acquisition Mode) Conditions B Conditions serve to define which premises make an event true. Note: Only available with Datalogging option. ( 3. Event TX010 = Alarm A 3. Event Clock AND sta: 0800 End: 1700 ( 001 4. Acquisition 10 s delay mode Start Tx logging Start Event logging ) AND 001 ) Each condition is defined by four elements, and two conditions may be combined to provide for greater flexibility.
7 Configuration continued Start/Stop Tx Logging List of Events When the display indicates Start log Tx, the acquisition mode is inactive. Acquisition will start by pressing ENTER. ENTER The log message displays on the screen in accordance to the Mode that has been choose. LED1 turns ON. List of Events English Power-up “System Power-up” Power-down “System Power-down” Menu accessed “Menu accessed” • Start log Tx (starts sensor acquisition) Opens an ad1_48.log and ad49_96.log file.
7 Configuration continued Copy (Transferring Data and Copying Parameters) The COPY function serves to transfer data and copy parameters within the following windows: • Configuration • Parameters Configuration (Data Transfer) 5. Event -configurationController to SDcard Sdcard to controller Moreover, at card insertion, the controller system looks for an existing ‘config.ini’ file containing a tag named “autoload” equaled to ‘1’ (meaning true).
7 Configuration continued Example of saving a controller configuration AirAlert96d = “Configuration” Date = “2006-01-09 13:51:57:” [CONFIG] language = 1 scrollmode = 0 relaymode = 0 password = "2967" cie = 0 priority = 0 autoload = 1 [SLAVE] address = 1 protocol = 1 baudrate = 38400 databits = 8 stopbits = 2 parity = 0 [ADDRESS_1] txtype = 1 display = "ECF9 NH3 AD:01" protocol = 1 baudrate = 9600 databits = 8 stopbits = 2 parity = 0 sensortype = 65 fullscale = 102.000000 unit = 0 alarmAmin = 20.
7 Configuration continued The scroll mode is used to set the scroll interval of the information pages displayed on the screen. Scroll mode may be set to at three or five seconds, or it may be set to manual only. The information page displayed can always be controlled manually using the arrow keys. The display will remain on the last component selected only in manual mode.

10 Relay Module (optional) The AirAlertTM96d-RM8 relay module acts as an output to the AirAlertTM96d controller. The relay module provides eight programmable relays for the activation of ventilation and audible/visual alarm output devices at programmable alarm levels. Since the relay module is an output to the controller, it can be located at any point within the gas detection network. TM Figure 10.
