RS-485 Digital Highway Gas Detection System
System Overview

|
|
The SEC 1500 and 2000 are digital gas detectors, that are designed to detect one of a number of gases, display the concentration of that particular gas and provide an alarm when gas concentration reaches a preset level. These detectors will operate as a stand alone gas detector with its own relay output and LED display. An industry standard 4-20 mA output enables the detector to be connected to an analog system, such as PLC, DCS and TMR systems.
The operating parameters (relay action, alarm set values, sensor configuration, etc.) can be viewed or changed using the SEC 2500 Hand Held Programmer or SEC Supervision Plus software. The 2500 can communicate anywhere on the network with any detector using either an infrared link, an RS-485 data highway or by plugging directly into any detector.

An RS-485 digital output enables the detector to communicate to a PC running Supervision Plus software. The detector network is formed by connecting a single twisted shielded pair of cable wires, reducing cabling and installation costs.
The SEC 1500 and 2000 retain operating parameters and calibration settings when powered down. An on board microprocessor provides continuous self diagnostics and identifies problems using fault codes. Four operation 8 amp SPDT relays respond to Low, Mid and High gas alarms as well as any fault conditions.
