Marine Panel Range

MINERVA

MX is a comprehensive range of fire

controllers designed and built to BSEN ISO9001/2
and EN54. An advanced proven microprocessor
based system, MINERVA

MX provides conventional
and digital addressable detection for new, refurbished
and refitted detection systems.
A wide range of detectors and ancillaries makes
MINERVA

MX suitable for applications from general

cargo vessels to large passenger vessels and offshore
installation.
What should you expect of your fire
detection system?
In broad terms: cost effective reliability and flexibility.
In today's vessels under today's conditions you should
also be looking for ease of operation, flexible
programming, precise fire source pin-pointing and the
kind of circuitry and sensitivity which ensures rapid
activation in the event of a fire.
MINERVA

MX meets all these

expectations as a matter of course
MX/T2000 is a comprehensive range of fire
controllers designed and built to BSEN ISO9001/2 by
the worlds leading fire and security company. The
MX/T2000 has been approved by all the major
marine authorities.
An advanced proven micro-processor based system
MINERVA

MX provides conventional as well as

addressable detection at the price of today's
conventional systems. The decision to sound the
alarm is made at the controller allowing adjustments
and compensations to be made for changes in
environmental conditions. In short, maximum
security whilst minimising the risk of false alarms.
Modular in design MINERVA

MX provides
economical fire detection for small vessels but is also
flexible enough to implement the complex event
procedures required in larger ones. Detectors are
controlled in groups of up to 240 zones all software
configurable, so avoiding the expensive need to
hardwire each zone back to the control panel. Further
savings are made possible by harnessing the power of
the latest micro-processing technology to enable a
single loop of two-core cabling to carry both detection
and command signals.
Backwards compatibility is also achieved by using an
ancillary module which allows existing fire systems to
be updated and extended cost effectively, utilising
existing wiring where possible and with minimal
disruption. Other ancillary modules offer even greater
system flexibility: short circuit sensing isolation
ensures the MX/T2000 continues in operation, even
if a wiring fault occurs. Local sounder activation
further reduces wiring costs and switch monitoring
allows easy interface to a vessels machinery control
system.
Further flexibility and installation savings can be made
using the loop power MX/T2000 options. Loop
powered MX/T2000 panels allow sounders to be
powered from the same loop wires that carry
communications and power to the detectors and
other ancillaries.

MINERVA

MX Key Functions
Thanks to powerful software each zone can be given a tailor-made
response text message to help locate the source of a fire. Software
configuration and reconfiguration can be carried out on site, with
minimum disruption and the avoidance of system down time. Correct
execution of the software is ensured by twin micro-processors that
perform watchdog functions on each other.
MINERVA

MX sounders can be set for either continuous, pulse, or a

combination of two tones via the system software.
To aid the rapid location of fire, remote repeater panels or geographical
mimics can be connected to the controllers for greater monitoring
convenience, as can visual display units.
The displayed temperature and smoke density reading allows the
operator to quickly visualise the situation and select the appropriate
procedures to be implemented.
For management information, a printer can also be connected to the
MX/T2000 providing a hard copy of events. MINERVA

MX has the
capacity to store up to 1000 events in its memory. Finally a weekly test
reminder facility can be built in, while a walk-test facility allows truly
cost-effective systems checking by a single operative.

The 811PH is a state-of-the-art smoke and
heat detector which allows a full set of
detection modes to be implemented in the
MX detection panel to suit most smoke and
heat detection applications.
The 811PH incorporates a unique
mousehole design optical chamber with an
unrivalled signal to noise ratio providing high
resilience to dust and dirt which means
reduced service costs. In addition a unique
chamber cover actually draws slow moving
smoke into the chamber to provide a more

811PH Multi-Sensor Smoke and Heat Detectors
General
The 800 Series detectors are supplied in an extremely robust and
reliable fully sealed construction, which has undergone stringent
environmental type testing. All electrical contacts are moulded into the
plastic to eliminate any movement.
The detectors are constructed from hardwearing Fire Resistant FR110
Bayblend. The multi-sensor detectors are environmentally friendly.
They use no radioactive parts and can be returned to the factory for
recycling at the end of their life.
All 800 Series detectors are supplied with integral dust covers as part
of the packaging. Dust covers are retained throughout installation and
removed at commissioning time.
Installation & Service Features
The 800 Series MX VIRTUAL detectors include a host of installation
and service features which are provided to reduce installation and
service costs and reduce repair times.
. Standard bases with multiple mounting options speed and simplify
installation
. Unique park position for commissioning and service procedures
. Detector Addressing programmed from the MX SERVICE Tool or
MX Panel
. Address flag fixed to the base to prevent mix ups during service
. Compatible with Tyco 600 and 900 Series bases for easy
upgrade
. Panel Auto-Config and Self learn functions supported by the
detectors
. Full range of remote installation and service tools
. Dirty Detector Read-out can be viewed on the MX SERVICE tool or
panel
Detection Modes
All 800 Series detectors communicate to the MX detection panel
using the fast reliable MX DIGITAL loop protocol. This allows each
detector to operate in one or two of several detection modes, thus
allowing it to be easily optimised to the risk.
To meet detection applications with multiple risks the 811PH and
811CH detectors allow two detection modes to operate
simultaneously.
Virtual Detectors
The use of virtual detection means that installations can change the
detection mode without any physical change, taking place. Not only
can the detection be changed at the time of installation and
commissioning but also during the life of the vessel as vessel usage
changes.
Some MX detection panels even allow the detection mode to be
changed at different times of the day or automatically as occupancy
and activity in the space changes.
As well as providing great flexibility, using only two detector models
means whole life costs are reduced by reducing manufacturing,
stocking and service stocks. This also reduces the number of times
detectors have to be changed during the life of the installation.
The 811CH is a state-of-the-art carbon
monoxide and heat detector which allows a
full set of detection modes to be implemented
in the MX detection panel to suit most fire and
heat detection applications. The 811CH is
particularly well suited to accomodation areas,
storage areas and applications where smoke
detector positioning is difficult or where
smoke detectors are prone to false alarm. The
integration of heat detection into the 811CH
allows the detector to operate in a wide
variety of applications where combined risks
mean that CO detection alone would be
insufficient.
The 811CH incorporates a reliable electro-
chemical CO detection cell and high
specification low thermal mass thermistor for
accurate temperature detection. The 811CH
provides all the features of MX VIRTUAL
detectors including self verification,
temperature and CO level indication and
unrivalled service functions.

the areas containing them are designated Hazardous
Areas. When a source of ignition, such as a spark is
applied in a hazardous area, an explosion could take
place.
Electrical equipment supplied for use in Hazardous

EXI800 Interface Module &Galvanic Isolator
The EXI800 Interface Module, used with a galvanic isolator, provides a path for an MX Panel to transparently
communicate to slave devices (800Ex Detectors, IF800Ex Interface Module or CP840Ex Addressable Break
Glass Callpoint) connected to the Intrinsically Safe loop. The interface reduces the standard MX loop supply
voltage and signalling currents to levels that are acceptable for hazardous areas.
The EXI800 can detect a short circuit on the left-loop, the right-loop, or the IS loop and will isolate the
offending loop connections from the other loop connections.
The IS loop output of the EXI800 interfaces with the Pepperl+Fuchs KFD0-CS-Ex1.54 Galvanic Isolator,
supplying loop voltage and signalling currents to the Intrinsically Safe loop.

Technical Information
To preclude the risk of an explosion, equipment in the Hazardous Area
must not be capable of causing ignition under normal operating, or
specific fault conditions. Limiting the energy which can be stored in,
and released by the electronic circuitry and cables in the Hazardous
Area is achieved by using Intrinsically Safe equipment and by placing
restrictions on the cable parameters.
Intrinsic safety is a technique for ensuring that the electrical energy and
temperature rise occurring during normal operation and during all
probable fault conditions are not able to cause ignition.
Intrinsic safety relies on limiting the voltage and current in the circuit so
that if a fault occurs the power available in the circuit is insufficient to
cause ignition.
To complete the explosion protection concept of a circuit a Safety
Barrier must be connected between the Hazardous
Area equipment and the source of power in the Safe Area. The
electrical power which may be supplied or drawn from a Safe Area (i.e.
an area with no definable hazard) is limited by using Galvanic Isolators
or Isolating I.S. Interface Units.
The main advantage of intrinsic safety over other methods of
protection is the fact that the majority of maintenance operations can
be carried out whilst the system is live.

800 Series Ancillary Equipment
An extensive range of ancillary modules has been
specifically designed for use with the MX/T2000
range of Fire Controllers.
The 800 range of ancillary modules provide the MX
Fire Controller with a wide degree of systems applica-
tion flexibility. This allows the field addressable loop
from the control panel to both receive inputs to the
system and control outputs from it.
This broad range of modules allows the scope of the
fire detection system to be significantly extended
beyond a simple fire detector alarm sounder based
alarm system.
Fire Detection
[Link] 08/04/2004 10:24 Page 1
The command modules enable fire doors to be closed, fire dampers to be controlled, plus provide an interface to shut down HVAC and other plant
control equipment. With the high systems integrity offered on the MX Controller the command modules can also be used to control a public
address based evacuation system.
The CIM800 is a flexible addressable input-monitoring device that fits in the standard ancillary
housings.
The CIM800 provides a single input to current MX panels though this can be implemented as
two separately wired spurs (Style B) or as a loop (Style A). Both spur and loop input wiring can
be configured to monitor normally open or normally closed inputs. In addition both can be
configured to initiate an alarm or short circuit fault message in the event of a short circuit on
normally open monitoring circuits.
The DIM800 is designed to power and monitor a circuit of low voltage conventional detectors
and callpoints. The detection circuit is powered from an external 24V d.c. supply and is reset by
the MX addressable panel. The DIM800 monitors the external 24V d.c. and provides a fault
signal if it is lost. The input detection circuit can be wired as one or two spur circuits (Class B),
one loop configured circuit (Class A) or one 4 wire detection circuit.
The DIM800 is designed to be compatible with most conventional detection products.
Compatibility has been tested to date on the following products:
Compatible Thorn detectors:
M300 Series , M600 Series , S100 Series, H Series, S231F, S231F+, CP200
The RIM800 provides a single programmable relay output from the MX DIGITAL addressable
loop which can be programmed for a variety of applications including signalling fire conditions
to plant, machinery, fire doors, dampers & security systems.
The RIM800 relay coil is monitored. The RIM800 relay contact is rated for 2A @ 24V d.c. but
can be used to switch mains voltage when used with the HVR800.
CIM800 Contact Input Module
DIM800 Detector Input Module
RIM800 Relay Interface Module
The MIO800 is a general purpose interface module for use with MX Technology
TM
fire detection
systems. It allows multiple input and output connections to be made between external
equipment and the MX Digital loop. Three inputs and four outputs are provided. Each input and
output can be programmed independantly using the MX Consys configuration tool to provide
customised functionality.
An IP55 rated D800 style housing is used as the standard enclosure with the option of a DIN-
Rail mounting kit for in-cabinet installations.
MIO800 Multi Input Output Module
[Link] 08/04/2004 10:24 Page 2
The SNM800 is a remote addressable sounder circuit output device capable of switching
sounder and speaker circuits up to 2A @ 24V d.c. or provide a monitored output facility for other
applications. These can be used in addition to the two sounder circuits provided as standard on
most MX detection panels.
The SNM800 can support sounder circuits wired as a spur (Class B Style Y) or in a loop
configuration (Class A Style Z).
The SNM800 can be configured with a RIM800 to provide a secure monitored extinguishing
release solenoid control.
The TM520 provides an output that can be activated based on a delay time. If either the key-
switch on the module is activated, or a predefined event within the control panel occurs then a
timed delay (set between 10 minutes and 2 hours 10 minutes) is started. When the delay
reaches zero the TM520 output is activated. The unit sounds an internal buzzer and shows a
red LED when the output is active, and shows a yellow LED when the timer is counting down.
To provide a warning that the delay is nearly over, the red LED and the buzzer will pulse 5
minutes before the end of the delay .
The TM520 requires a separate 24V DC supply to operate. The module is not addressable and
will therefore not take an address on the loop.
The APM800 is an MX addressable power supply monitoring module which is usually used
with the PSM800 power supply module to make an addressable power supply. The APM800 is
designed to fix to studs on the top of the PSM800.
The APM800 monitors the PSM800 for mains failure, earth fault, battery charger fault and
battery fault. It can reset the PSM800 resettable 24Vd.c. output and initiate a battery test which
then reports battery voltage and current to the controller.
The SB520 enables the SNM800 to drive sounder circuits with higher currents whilst
maintaining the reverse polarity integrity line monitoring.
The MIM800 is a small MX addressable module designed for monitoring a single input circuit.
The MIM800 can monitor normally open or normally closed inputs and provides open and short
circuit monitoring of the line.
The MIM800 is designed for fitting in small devices such as flow switches, special detection
devices and explosion proof callpoints. A variant of the MIM800 is used in all callpoints and
pullstations.

The HVR800 is a non-addressable device which allows a low current mains rated relay
to switch up to 10A. Alternatively a low voltage drive signal such as that provided by the
RIM800 or 80 way mimic can be used to switch the integral mains relay.

GAS DETECTION SYSTEM
GAS MONITOR PLUS

Gasmonitor Plus
Fixed systems for gas and fire monitoring
Gasmonitor Plus is our flexible microprocessor controlled
system designed with a modular approach, so you get exactly
what you want.
Used throughout the world, both on and offshore, Gasmonitor Plus
provides the cost effective solution to your system requirements.
Gasmonitor Plus, the gas and fire control system you can trust.
Simple to use
Gasmonitor Plus offers flexibility whilst still providing
simple operation. All the day to day functions
are accessible via push buttons on the
front panel.
As well as a rolling display, indicating the channel
currently monitored, each channel has a bar graph
display. This unique bar graph format is ranged
to indicate readings below the first alarm setting,
providing an instantaneous representation
of the gas concentration on every detector.
Common alarm LEDs on the display card and
individual alarms on the panel only light when a
hazard or fault is detected. This means the whole
rack status can be checked at a glance.
Ground breaking design
Gasmonitor Plus is a microprocessor based expandable
control system, which can be multiplied to offer
unlimited channels and outputs.
Its modular construction provides ultimate
customisation capacity with minimal wiring.
Gasmonitor Plus has industry standard analogue
outputs, and the mechanical design is based on 19
Eurorack. This means that the Gasmonitor Plus
will integrate fully with existing rack
mounted protection systems on site.
The alochrome finish and rack screening plates
ensure that the Gasmonitor Plus is impervious to
radio frequency interferance.
Flexible architecture
Each channel has three levels of alarm as well
as a dedicated analogue output, set as 4-20
mA as standard.
Optional relay modules can interface to the panel to
provide up to a total of 84 output relays per
rack. Sixteen of these relays can be configured/
voted from a combination of the three levels of alarm
per channel.
The RS232 digital interface provides connectivity
with PC for configuration, monitoring and datalog
upload. Each rack is uniquely addressable, making
multi-drop architectures possible. This cuts down on
configuration and monitoring cabling.
Easy maintenance
Gasmonitor Plus has been designed with
easy servicing and maintenance in mind.
Each channel is inhibited separately so that
plant safety is not compromised during
maintenance checks.
Routine calibration can be achieved from the front
panel. The one man calibration feature reduces the
service overhead by half.
One universal gas card architecture controls all gas
detectors. This reduces the spares holding
required for Gasmonitor Plus maintenance. Each
control card is fitted with its own
dedicated micro-controller so it can
function independently in the event of a single
point failure.

WARNING
TXgard-Plus is designed for use in Zone 1 and 2 hazardous areas and
is certified EEx d IIC T6 (AEx d IIC T6 in USA). Installation must be in
accordance with the recognised standards of the appropriate authority
in the country concerned. For more information contact Crowcon.
Prior to carrying out any work ensure local regulations and site
procedures are followed.
3 . 1 L o c a tio n
There are no rules w hich dictate the siting and location of detectors, how ever,
considerable guidance is available from B S6959:1988 B ritish Standard
C ode of Practice for the Selection, Installation, U se and M aintenance of
Apparatus for the D etection and M easurem ent of C om bustible G ases. In the
U SA refer to the N ational Electrical C ode (N EC 1999). Sim ilar international
codes of practice m ay be used w here applicable. In addition certain regulatory
bodies publish specifications giving m inim um gas detection requirem ents for
specific applications.
The detector should be m ounted w here the gas is m ost likely to be
present. The follow ing points should be noted w hen locating gas detectors:
To detect gases w hich are lighter than air e.g. am m onia, detectors should
be m ounted at high level and C row con recom m end the use of a C ollector
C one, Part No. C01051.
To detect heavier than air gases e.g. sulphur dioxide, detectors should be
m ounted at low level.
W hen locating detectors consider the possible dam age caused by natural
events eg. rain or flooding. For detectors m ounted outdoors C row con
recom m end using a W eatherproof C ap, Part No. C01442.
C onsider ease of access for functional testing and servicing.
C onsider how the escaping gas m ay behave due to natural or forced air
currents. M ount detectors in ventilation ducts if appropriate.
C onsider the process conditions. Am m onia is norm ally lighter than air, but
if released from a process line w hich is cooled and/or under pressure the
gas m ay fall rather than rise.

locations of sensors should be recorded.C row con w ould be pleased to assist
in the selection and siting of gas detectors.
3 . 2 M o u n tin g
The m ounting detail of TXgard-Plus is given in D iagram 1. TXgard-Plus should
be installed at the designated location w ith the detector pointing dow n. This
ensures that dust or w ater w ill not collect on the sinter and stop gas entering
the detector.

C abling to TXgard-Plus m ust be in accordance w ith the recognised
standards of the appropriate authority in the country concerned and m eet the
electrical requirem ents of the detector. C row con recom m end the use of steel
w ire arm oured (SW A) cable and suitable explosion proof glands m ust be
used. Alternative cabling techniques, such as steel conduit, m ay be
acceptable provided appropriate standards are m et.
TXgard-Plus requires a dc supply of 10-30 V at up to 100 m A.
Ensure the m inim um dc supply of 10 V is observed at the detector, taking into
account the voltage drop due to cable resistance.
For exam ple, a nom inal dc supply at the control panel of 24 V has a
guaranteed m inim um supply of 18V. The m axim um voltage drop
allow ed is therefore 8V. TXgard-Plus can dem and up to 100 m A and so the

All connections are m ade via the term inal board m ounted in the base of the
junction box (see D iagram 2). The 3 w ires from the 96H D are colour coded
and should be term inated in the corresponding colour coded term inal
(term inals 4, 5 & 6). Term inals 1 (0 Vdc), 2 (10-30 Vdc) and 3 (4-20m A signal)
are connected to the control equipm ent. TXgard-Plus is factory set as a 4-
20 m A source device unless specified otherw ise w hen ordering (see Section
2 to change configuration). D iagram 3 sum m arises the electrical
connections.
Note: The junction box and cable armour must be earthed at the
detector and control panel to limit the effect of radio frequency
interference and to maintain electrical safety.

1 . 1 P ro d u c t o ve rvie w
Flamgard Plus is a flameproof flammable gas detector
suitable for use in zone 1 or 2 hazardous areas. It is designed to detect
flammable gas, present in ambient air, at concentrations not
exceeding the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) of the target gas for which
it is calibrated. A local display and magnetically operated switches
allow non-intrusive one-man calibration without a hot work permit.
Powered by 24 V dc (nominally) Flamgard-Plus provides a 4-20 mA
signal (sink or source) proportional to the gas concentration and can
also be fitted with optional alarm and fault relays. For a list of
flammable gases that can be detected, please contact Crowcon.
1 . 2 P ro d u c t d e sc rip tio n
Flam gard Plus com prises four parts; 96H D sensor housing, junction box, am plifier and
term inal board. D iagram 1 details Flam gard Plus. The overall assem bly is certified EEx d
IIC T6 in Europe and C lass 1 , Zones 1&2 AEx d IIC T6 in the U SA.
The 96H D sensor housing is a m odular stainless steel assem bly that
dism antles to allow plug-in pellistor sensors to be replaced easily (see D iagram 4). The
assem bly screw s into an M 20 entry on the junction box.
The junction box is m anufactured from m arine grade alloy and is supplied w ith
2 x M 20 (1/2N PT for U SA) cable entries for custom er use. Alternative cable entries are
available from C row con.
The am plifier plugs into the term inal board, and is held in place by tw o captive
screw s. The am plifier provides pow er to the pellistor sensor, local display and controls,
and a 4-20 m A signal proportional to the gas concentration for connection to a control
panel. To rem ove, turn screw s anti-clockw ise and use them to pull am plifier out of the
enclosure.
All electrical connections are m ade via the term inal board m ounted in the base
of the junction box (see D iagram 2). O ptional alarm relays (AL1 & AL2) and one fault relay
(FAU LT) are m ounted on the term inal board w hich m ay be used to drive local w arning
devices or connect Flam gard-Plus to a control panel.

3 . 1 L o c a tio n
There are no rules w hich dictate the siting and location of detectors, how ever,
considerable guidance is available from B S6959:1988 B ritish Standard
C ode of Practice for the Selection, Installation, U se and M aintenance of
Apparatus for the D etection and M easurem ent of C om bustible G ases. In the
U SA refer to the N ational Electrical C ode (N EC 1999). Sim ilar international
codes of practice m ay be used w here applicable. In addition certain regulatory
bodies publish specifications giving m inim um gas detection requirem ents for
specific applications.
The detector should be m ounted w here the gas is m ost likely to be
present. The follow ing points should be noted w hen locating flam m able gas
detectors:
To detect gases w hich are lighter than air e.g. m ethane, detectors should
be m ounted at high level and C row con recom m end the use of a C ollector
C one, Part No. C01051.
To detect heavier than air gases e.g. butane, detectors should be m ounted
at low level.
W hen locating detectors consider the possible dam age caused by natural
events e.g. rain or flooding. For detectors m ounted outdoors C row con
recom m end the use of a W eatherproof C ap, Part No. C01442.
C onsider ease of access for functional testing and servicing.
C onsider how the escaping gas m ay behave due to natural or forced air
currents. M ount detectors in ventilation ducts if appropriate.
C onsider the process conditions. B utane is norm ally heavier than air, but if
released from a process line w hich is at an elevated tem perature and/or
under pressure the gas m ay rise rather than fall.
The placem ent of detectors should be determ ined follow ing advice of
experts having specialist know ledge of gas dispersion, the plant processing
equipm ent as w ell as safety and engineering issues. The agreement reached
on the locations of sensors should be recorded. C row con w ould be
pleased to assist in the selection and siting of gas detectors.
3 . 2 M o u n tin g
The m ounting detail of Flam gard Plus is given in D iagram 1. Flam gard Plus
should be installed at the designated location w ith the detector pointing dow n.
This ensures that dust or w ater w ill not collect on the sinter and stop gas
entering the detector.
3 . 3 C a b lin g R e q u ire m e n t
C abling to Flam gard Plus m ust be in accordance w ith the recognised
standards of the appropriate authority in the country concerned and m eet the
electrical requirem ents of the detector. C row con recom m end the use of steel
w ire arm oured (SW A) cable and suitable explosion proof glands m ust be
used. Alternative cabling techniques, such as steel conduit, m ay be
acceptable provided appropriate standards are m et.
Flam gard Plus requires a dc supply of 10-30 V at up to 210 m A.
Ensure the m inim um dc supply of 10 V is observed at the detector, taking into
account the voltage drop due to cable resistance.
For exam ple, a nom inal dc supply at the control panel of 24 V has a
guaranteed m inim um supply of 18V. The m axim um voltage drop
allow ed is therefore 8V. Flam gard Plus can dem and up to 210 m A and so the
m axim um loop resistance allow ed is 38 O hm s. A 1.5 m m

All connections are m ade via the term inal board m ounted in the base of the
junction box (see D iagram 2). The 3 w ires from the 96H D are colour coded
and should be term inated in the corresponding colour coded term inal
(term inals 4,5 & 6). Term inals 1 (0 Vdc), 2 (10-30 Vdc) and 3 (4-20m A signal)
are connected to the control equipm ent. Flam gard Plus is factory set as a
4-20 m A source device unless specified otherw ise w hen ordering (see Section
2 to change configuration). D iagram 3 sum m arises the electrical connections.
Note: The junction box and cable armour must be earthed at the
detector and control panel to limit the effect of radio frequency
interference and to maintain electrical safety.
All electrical connections to the optional relays are m ade via the 6-w ay

The operational life of the pellistor sensor depends on the application for w hich
it is being used. Such a device should w ork satisfactorily for up to 5 years in
ideal conditions. Site practices w ill dictate the frequency w ith w hich detectors
are tested. C row con recom m end that detectors be gas tested at least every
6 m onths and re-calibrated as necessary. To re-calibrate a detector follow
steps given in 4.1.
Pellistors can suffer from loss of sensitivity w hen there is a presence
of poisons or inhibitors such as silicones, sulphides, chlorine, lead or
halogenated hydrocarbons. Flam gard Plus uses poison resistant pellistors to
m axim ise operational life. In applications w here such com pounds are present
continuously, w e recom m end the use of C IR R U S, C row cons fixed point

T3 Gas Tester
With an increased focus on regular bump testing of gas detection instruments both through regulation and individual company
requirements, bump testing has become even more important to ensure safety for users.
The T3 Gas Tester offers a solution that ensures compliance. By checking the sensors respond to a known concentration of gas and
utilising the T3 instruments internal functionality, it makes it a cost-effective, fast and simple solution.
Bump testing exposes each sensor to a known concentration of gas to confirm that it responds correctly and to ensure that the unit is
working correctly. If it is found not to be working, then the T3 Gas Tester flags the need for the instrument to be re-calibrated or serviced.
The T3 Gas Tester allows bump testing of T3 instruments fitted with flammable, oxygen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulphide and carbon
dioxide sensors. The tester can bump all four gases in the instrument within 60 seconds. Using a fixed flow regulator reduces the cost of
testing, allowing approximately 140 bumps per 34L cylinder of quad gas.

Overview

Our field devices for heavy industrial use
HART, Universal
4 to 20 mA, universal
Field indicator for 4 to 20 mA signals
The temperature transmitter SITRANS TF works where others
feel uncomfortable.
Benefits
Universal use
- as transmitter for resistance thermometer, thermocouple ele-
ment, or mV signal
- as field indicator for any 4 to 20 mA signals
Local sensing of measured values over digital display
Rugged two-chamber enclosure in die-cast aluminium or
stainless steel
Degree of protection IP67
Test terminals for direct read-out of the output signal without
breaking the current loop
Can be mounted elsewhere if the measuring point
- is hard to access,
- is subject to high temperatures,
- is subject to vibrations from the system,
- or if you want to avoid long neck tubes and/or protective
tubes.
Can be mounted directly on American-design sensors
Wide range of approvals for use in potentially explosive atmo-
spheres. "Intrinsically safe, non-sparking and flameproof" type
of protections, for Europe and USA.
SIL2 (with order code C20), SIL2/3 (with C23)
Application
SITRANS TF can be used everywhere where temperatures need
to be measured under particularly adverse conditions, or where
a convenient local display is ideal. Which is why users from all
industries have opted for this field device. The rugged enclosure
protects the electronics. The stainless steel model is almost
completely resistant to sea water and other aggressive ele-
ments. The inner workings offer high measuring accuracy, uni-
versal input and a wide range of diagnostic options.
Function
Configuration
The communication capability over the HART protocol V 5.9 of
the SITRANS TF with an integrated SITRANS TH300 permits pa-
rameterization using a PC or HART communicator (hand-held
communicator). The SIMATIC PDM makes it easy.
Parameterization is carried out using a PC for SITRANS TF with
the integrated and programmable SITRANS TK. Available for
this purpose are a special modem and the software tool
SIPROM T.
Mode of operation
Mode of operation of SITRANS TF as temperature transmitter
The sensor signal, whether resistance thermometer, thermocou-
ple element or or mV signal, is amplified and linearized. Sen-
sor and output side are electrically isolated. An internal cold
junction is integrated for measurements with thermocouple ele-
ments.
The device outputs a temperature-linear direct current of 4 to
20 mA. As well as the analog transmission of measured values
from 4 to 20 mA, the HART version also supports digital commu-
nication for online diagnostics, measured value transmission
and configuration.
SITRANS TF automatically detects when a sensor should be in-
terrupted or is indicating a short-circuit. The practical test termi-
nals allow direct measurement of 4 to 20 mA signals over an am-
meter without interrupting the output current loop.
Mode of operation of SITRANS TF as field indicator
Any 4 to 20 mA signal can be applied to the generous terminal
block. As well as a range of predefined measurement units, the
adjustable indicator also supports the input of customized units.
This means that any 4 to 20 mA signal can be represented as
any type of unit, e.g. pressure, flow rate, filling level or tempera-
ture.

Digital measuring errors
Resistance thermometer

Resistance-based sensors

Thermocouples
1)
The digital accuracy in the range 0 to 300 C (32 to 572 F) is 3 C (5.4 F).
2)
The digital accuracy in the range 1750 to 2300 C (3182 to 4172 F) is 2 C
(3.6 F).
mV sensor

The digital accuracy is the accuracy after the analog/digital con-
version including linearization and calculation of the measured
value.
An additional error is generated in the output current 4 to 20 mA
as a result of the digital/analog conversion of 0.025 % of the set
span (digital-analog error).
The total error under reference conditions at the analog output is
the sum from the digital error and the digital-analog error (poss.
with the addition of cold junction errors in the case of thermocou-
ple measurements).

Overview

Our field devices for heavy industrial use
FOUNDATION fieldbus
PROFIBUS PA
The SITRANS TF temperature transmitter works where others
cant cope.
Benefits
For universal use as a transmitter for resistance thermometers,
thermocouple elements, or mV signals
Rugged two-chamber enclosure in die-cast aluminium or
stainless steel
Degree of protection IP67
Can be mounted elsewhere if the measuring point
- is hard to access,
- is subject to high temperatures,
- is subject to vibrations from the system,
- or if you want to avoid long neck tubes and/or protective
tubes.
Can be mounted directly on American-design sensors
Wide range of approvals for use in potentially explosive atmo-
spheres. "Intrinsically safe, non-sparking and flameproof" type
of protection, for Europe and USA
Application
The SITRANS TF can be used everywhere where temperatures
need to be measured under particularly harsh conditions. Which
is why users from all industries have opted for this field device.
The rugged enclosure protects the electronics. The stainless
steel model is almost completely resistant to sea water and other
aggressive elements. The inner workings offer high measuring
accuracy, universal input and a wide range of diagnostic op-
tions.

The new MP277 is now available!
The new Multi Panel 277 offers significantly increased performance. Two USB interfaces as well
as an MPI/DP and Ethernet interface each for the connection to PROFIBUS and PROFINET are standard equipment. The
SD/Multi Media Card combination slot enables memory expansions for archives and recipes.

The Panels in the new design replace the previous TP 270 10", OP 270 10" and all MP 270B devices. For the replacement as
well as for new applications, a Multi Panel MP 277 10" as touchscreen or keys model is available. The Multi Panel 277 is
available with the familiar 10" display as well as with a new 8" display for customers that desire a compact device with VGA
resolution.

Configurations of predecessor units can be migrated with a minimum of effort. Compatibility with predecessor products and a
significantly lower list price will support rapid migration.

Overview
4 device variants, 8" & 10" TFT colour touch screen with / without membrane keyboard
High performance
64K Colours
Onboard interfaces for Serial/PPI/MPI/Profibus/PROFINET networking to PLCs
Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 as standard operating system
Configurable with WinCC flexible Standard 2005 SP1 or higher

Features
The MP277 Touch variants offer new graphical, communication and functional possibilities.
An overview of some of the highlights:
Backlit 7.5" or 10.4" TFT display with Resistive Analog Touch

The MP277 Key variants offer new graphical, operational, communication and functional possibilities. An overview of some of
the highlights:
Backlit 7.5" or 10.4" TFT colour display with membrane keyboard
Freely configurable and inscribable function keys 8" - 26 , 10" - 36
Page 1 of 4 Siemens - e
4/9/2009 [Link]

All MP277s have the following features:
High performance
Vector graphics for improved screen designs
Resolution 640 x 480 pixels, 64K colors
Combined SD/Multi Media Card Slot enables memory expansions for archives, recipes, backup/restore function, etc
Integrated 12Mbit/s MPI / Profibus interface
Integrated Profinet interface providing
Profinet communication to PLCs
Profinet IO capability
Use of WinCC Flexible Sm@rtService, Sm@rtAccess and Audit runtime options
Larger user memory (6 MB), enabling larger configurations
Scripts and Archives
Support of .NET Compact framework 2.0 for own Applications (OPP)
5 online languages, including Cyrillic and Asian
Maintenance free alarm buffer (without battery and failsafe)
2 standard onboard USB interfaces for printer, keyboard, mouse, barcode reader, etc...
Via optional Industrial USB Hub 4, the USB interfaces are accessible without opening the control cabinet door
New functions within the scope of the WinCC flexible configuration software
WinCC Flexible 2005 SP1 or higher is required
WinCC Flexible Standard and Advanced can be used
TP270 / OP270 / MP270 projects in Protool can be easily converted to WinCC Flexible
TP270 / OP270 / MP270 projects can be simply reused in WinCC Flexible (by means of device switch)

Succession products
The MP277 is successor product for the very successful MP270B, TP270 10", and OP270 10" HMI panels. The most direct
replacement for each device (installation cutout, functional scope, screen type) is shown below:
MP270B -> MP277
OP270 10" -> MP277 Key
TP270 10" -> MP277 Touch
MP270 6" -> MP277 (graphic resolution change)

No AS511 TTY interface is present on the new OP277 and TP277 devices. Therefore if connection is required to S5 PLCs,
Profibus DP is the alternative connection still available.

If RS232 connection to 505 or 3rd party controllers is needed, then use of a RS485/RS232 converter is required.
