OPERATING MODES
The HC300PL has three operating modes: warm-
up, normal, and calibrate.
Warm-up
Warm-up mode is entered upon application of 24
VDC operating power. During warm-up, the 4-20
mA current loop output will indicate warm-up, the
indicating LED is yellow, and the alarm outputs
are disabled. The warm-up mode lasts nominally
two minutes after power-up.
Normal
After warm-up mode is completed, the device
automatically enters the Normal mode, and all
analog and alarm outputs are enabled.
Calibrate
Calibration of the HC300PL is normally not
required; however, the user has the option to
verify proper calibration or to perform calibration
procedures if necessary. Guidelines for when
to perform a calibration or a response test are
listed in Table 2. The user has the choice of three
methods to place the device into the Calibrate
mode. Refer to the “Calibration” section in this
manual for details.

However, the FM approved rating is limited to –50°C as there are no conduit fittings, cables, or cable
glands that are presently listed for use below –50°C in the US. FM approvals policy does not allow
product temperature ratings to exceed required installation components (such as conduit seals). The
user must ensure that conduit fittings, cables, cable glands, etc., are rated for the expected minimum
ambient temperature of the installation.
NOTES
Approval of the HC300PL does not include or imply approval of the apparatus to which the
detector may be connected and which processes the electronic signal for eventual end use. In
order to maintain an approved system, the apparatus to which the detector is connected must
also be approved.

concentration for these gases, provided the proper gas setting has been selected, and the HC300PL has
been calibrated with the proper calibration gas type. The HC300PL is performance certified for detection
of methane, propane, ethylene, or butane, and is shipped from the factory calibrated and set for the
customer’s choice of one of these gases. Digital communication (such as HART) is required to confirm the
current setting and change it if required. In addition to the gases listed above, the HC300PL is capable
of detecting and measuring many other hydrocarbon gases and vapors, with settings provided for gases
such as ethane and propylene. For detection of other commonly encountered gases where specific gas
settings are not provided, one of the standard settings will usually suffice. Please consult the factory for

HART COMMUNICATION
Digital communication with the AutroPoint HC300PL is necessary to monitor internal status and to
modify the factory settings. This appendix provides guidance on establishing HART communication,
and describes the communication menu structure when using the HC300PL with the HART Handheld
Communicator.
Press the “on” key to switch on the HART Handheld Communicator. The Online menu is the first menu
to appear when the Communicator is properly connected to the HC300PL. This menu is structured to
provide important information about the connected device. The HART protocol incorporates a concept
called the “Device Description Language” (DDL) that enables HART instrument manufacturers to define
and document their product in a consistent format. This format is readable by handheld communicators,
PCs, and other process interface devices that support DDL.
NOTES
It is possible to establish HART Communication with the HC300PL in Generic HART
communication mode. In this mode, HART communication with the HC300PL detector will be
established, but the Communicator will not recognize the HC300PL as a gas detector. Generic
HART communication will not provide access to the HC300PL DDL menu and important set-up,
diagnostics, or operation functions, including gas type selection.
The HART Communication Foundation (www.hartcomm.org) manages the HCF Approved DDL Library
and programming sites for HCF Approved field communicators. A complete listing of the DDL Library is
available for download and provides manufacturer and device type file identification.

CONNECTIONS AND HARDWARE
The HART Communicator can interface with the HC300PL from the onboard I.S. communication port,
from the control room. The connections are non-polarized.
It is important for the user to understand how to correctly operate the HART Field Communicator,
and how to navigate through the various programming options and either select or de-select the
desired parameters. This document does NOT cover this fundamental information on the HART Field
Communicator. Please refer to the Field Communicator instruction manual for specific guidance on how
to operate the communicator.

TYPICAL SETUP OF A HC300PL
After HART communication has been established with the HC300PL, the following operational
parameters are generally verified:
1. Inspect the Root menu to confirm that the gas type selected is proper for the gas hazard to be
detected. The HC300PL is shipped from the factory calibrated and set for detection of methane,
propane, ethylene, or butane. If a different gas type is desired, then change the setting using the
detailed setup programming option, and perform a field calibration using the same gas type as
is selected. Refer to the Calibration section of this manual.
2. Inspect the Gas Alarm level thresholds and Fault output signals using the Detailed setup option,
and modify these settings if required.
3. Enter a device Tag number and/or descriptor for future traceability and guidance.
While these three operations are typical, these steps may not be satisfactory for your application.
The following data provides basic guidance on HART menu navigation. Refer to the HART Field
Communicator manual for additional guidance.
ROOT MENU
When HART communication is established with the HC300PL, the first menu
displayed is the Root menu: 1 Device Variables
2 Diagnostics
To select any of the three menu options shown, highlight the desired option
using the up/down arrow key, and then press the “right arrow” key. 3 Device Setup
1 Device Variables
This shows the gas type and concentration being detected in %LEL.
2 Diagnostics
This menu option shows extensive status information about the detector. It can also be used to test the
detector, initiate calibration, or reset latched relay outputs.
3 Device Setup
The Device Setup menu accesses every configurable parameter of the connected device. Refer to the

WARRANTY
Autronica Fire and Security products are manufactured from high quality components and the completed
device is rigorously inspected and tested before shipment; however, any electronic device is subject
to failure beyond the control of the manufacturer. To ensure system reliability, it is important for the user
to maintain the system as recommended by the instruction manuals and to determine the frequency of
functional checking of the system required for each specific installation. The more frequent the checking,
the greater the system reliability. For the highest reliability, a completely redundant system is necessary.
The manufacturer warrants the AutroPoint HC300PL against defective parts and workmanship, and
will replace or repair equipment returned to the manufacturer for these reasons within five years after
purchase date. See manufacturer’s Standard Terms and Conditions on the invoice for complete details.
Please note that no other warranties, written or implied, will be honored by the manufacturer.
CAUTION
The detector contains no user serviceable components. Service or repair should never be
attempted by the user. The manufacturer’s warranty for this product is void, and all liability for
proper function of the detector is irrevocably transferred to the owner or operator in the event that
the device is serviced or repaired by personnel not employed or authorized by Autronica Fire and
Security, or if the device is used in a manner not conforming to its intended use.

15.3 Description
BSF-400 is a power monitor and controller board providing a
communication interface, AutroFieldBus. The board has also the
ability to operate stand alone with no communication. The fault relay is
energized as standard with its own watchdog.
BSF-400 has short circuit protection on all outputs such that a short
circuit will not affect other outputs. Batteries that are connected will be
charged with temperature compensation to ensure long battery life
regardless of temperature (within the specified operating temperature
range).

Note that, if the battery voltage is less than 20V DC, the button will
have no affect (hardware controlled).
Troubleshooting:
In some cases the voltage can be slightly above 20V DC and drop
rapidly to below 20V DC. The relay will then tend to chatter. In this
case, it is recommended that the system is not started until the battery
is fully charged.

The green and red LED beneath the cover are indicators for AFB-RX
and – TX. Hearbeat is indicated when these LEDs are blinking
simultaneously. Rapid blinking indicates heavy traffic on the
AutroFieldBus. If the red LED is weak and the green one is not lit,
there is no communication between the BSF-400 board and the
AutroFieldBus.
All blinking LEDs, except where otherwise stated, will blink with 0,5
seconds ON and 0,5 seconds OFF.

This is conducted by lowering the PSU voltage so that all loads are
powered from the batteries for a period of 60 seconds, then a built in
resistor is turned ON for 2 seconds. BPS-405/BPS-410 will then
measure the voltage increase between the resistor ON and OFF and
thus calculate the battery resistance. This measurement includes the
wires to and from the battery.
The battery high resistance fault is given when the total resistance of
the battery and battery cables is:
Type Resistance
Power Unit BPS-405 0.8Ω
Power Unit BPS-410 0.6Ω
IMPORTANT:
To be safe, remove regular fuse before troubleshooting external faulty
equipment.

Diagnostic outputs are given onboard with LEDs and alarm relay, and
on AutroSafe panels with audible alarms and display messages.
The LEDs and fault relay will not indicate any failure before the
AutroSafe has AutroFieldBus connection and the AutroSafe system
has been initialized.

4 Installation
Searchpoint Optima Plus is designed to allow installation to be performed by a single
operator. The installation procedure is split into mechanical installation and electrical
installation.
1) Ensure that the correct attachments and accessories for the application have been
fitted (refer to operating manual (2108M0501 for further details).
2) Searchpoint Optima Plus must be mounted horizontally, as this greatly reduces the
risk of obscuration due to build up of dirt and moisture on the optical surfaces.
Ensure the area immediately surrounding the sensor is free from objects that could
hinder the free flow of air around it.
3) Secure the junction box onto the mounting surface, using the Junction Box
Adaptor Plate if required. Searchpoint Optima Plus must be installed with its long
axis horizontal in order for the standard weather protection to operate correctly
and to prevent water from settling on the optical surfaces (see below). The Optima
unit should therefore only be screwed into a threaded entry that is in a vertical
wall of the junction box. The deluge/heat shade (supplied as standard) should also
be fitted.

Searchpoint Optima Plus Installation Guide Issue 2 09/08
MAN0838 2108M0509
4) Feed the unit’s wires carefully through the chosen junction box entry and offer up
it’s threaded boss to the entry. Screw the unit into the junction box until it is secure
and the semi-circular pattern of holes on the front of the weather protection are on
the bottom (see below). For M25 entries, the boss should go right through the wall;
whilst for 3/4 NPT entries, the boss should lock off on the taper. If getting the holes
in the right orientation requires more rotation than is readily achievable, remove the
weather protection and rotate it through 180 degrees.
5) Using a multimeter, check that the voltages on the +24V, and 4-20mA connections
with respect to 0V are less than +32V DC.
6) Using a multimeter, check and that there is no 110V or 230VAC on the
connections.
7) Wire up the unit’s electrical connections in accordance with Section 4.2, taking
note of the general recommendations upon electrical installation. For electrical
installation schematics see Section 4.3.
8) Ensure that all cable entries are either used or plugged in strict accordance with
the relevant certification requirements and local codes of practice.
9) Verify the correct installation and operation of the unit using the SHC-1 handheld
interrogator. If a DVC100 or DX100 junction box has been used, testing can be
performed without the need for a hot work permit. Alternatively, if a basic junction
box has been used, electrical connections can be made to the terminals inside the
box using the SHC protection device. This will ordinarily require a hot work permit.
8
Searchpoint Optima Plus Installation Guide Issue 2 09/08
MAN0838 2108M0509
10) The entire length of the field cabling connected to a unit should be screened /
shielded. This screen / shield should be connected to a low noise instrument
(clean) earth at a single end. (The screen / shield can be connected to the unit’s
earth in the junction box, provided that this is isolated from all other earths /
grounds.)
11) For installations where the field cable conductors run through conduit or armour
connected to safety (dirty) earth, the conduit or armour should not be considered
as a sufficient screen / shield. A separate cable screen / shield, connected to a low
noise instrument earth should be employed.
12) The screens / shields of field cabling should not be connected in a manner that
creates earth loops or that will result in the screens / shields carrying large currents
from heavy plant or equipment.
13) The use of a single, screened / shielded cable for each field device ensures good
screening / shielding and reduces crosstalk. Cabling arrangements that use a
single cable to connect a number of field devices compromise screening and
increase the potential for crosstalk. Such arrangements should only be employed
if the electrical installation design authority is confident that this will not adversely
affect the reliability or performance of the system.
14) Any electrical interference induced onto the conductors of a 4-20mA loop by
the installation must be kept below the levels necessary to comply with the general
requirements of EN50054 or other applicable gas detector performance
requirements / standards. In practice, this means that peak noise currents induced
on the current loop should be no greater than +/- 0.25mA. If peak noise currents
larger than this are induced on the current loop it is possible that spurious gas
readings, alarms and faults will be reported by the control system monitoring the
current loop.
15) The 0V rail of a control card / control system is often connected directly to one side
of the 4-20mA input’s current sensing resistor. In such instances, any electrical
noise on the 0V rail can be considered to be directly connected to the
4-20mA input. In order to reduce the likelihood of such noise adversely affecting
the performance of a gas detection system it is desirable to keep noise on the 0V
rail to a minimum. Safety earth / ground frequently carries a high level of electrical
noise and it is therefore advisable not to connect the 0V rail to safety earth /
ground. If the 0V rail cannot be isolated from earth it is advisable to either connect
it to a low noise instrument (clean) earth or through a path that presents a high
impedance to noise on the earth.
16) For installations in Europe, all electrical equipment connected to the system should
comply with EN50081 and EN50082 or EN50270. For non-European installations,
electrical equipment connected to the system should comply with applicable
national or international EMC standards.
17) Searchpoint Optima Plus is designed to operate correctly with supply voltages
down to 18V. When supplied with 18V, the maximum current drawn by a single
Searchpoint Optima Plus unit will be 250mA. The field cabling conductors should
have sufficient cross sectional area to ensure that when a unit is drawing 250mA
the voltage reaching it does not fall below 18V. For a control room voltage of 24V,
the maximum round loop cable resistance must therefore be 24 Ohms. Round loop
cable resistances greater than those necessary to ensure that units always receive
at least 18V may result in unreliable operation.
10
Searchpoint Optima Plus Installation Guide Issue 2 09/08
MAN0838 2108M0509
18) Ideally, the 24V supply reaching units should be free from large transients,
fluctuations or high frequency noise. Transients or fluctuations which take the
supply voltage outside of the 18-32V range may result in units switching off and
re-booting.
19) In order to reduce the likelihood of radio frequency interference affecting
the operation of units it is recommended that neither units nor their cabling are
installed in close proximity to the antennae of high powered radio, radar or satellite
communication equipment.

13.7 Calibration
Searchpoint Optima Plus is factory calibrated and does not require routine calibration. In most cases, a
re-zero will correct any inaccuracy in the gas reading. It is strongly recommended that a span calibration is
not carried out.
In the unlikely event that a span calibration is required, use a cylinder of the target gas, of approximately
50 %FSD, with an accuracy of at least ± 2 %.
1. Inspect the gassing pipes to the RGC. Ensure that the exhaust is clear and vents well away from the Note: Searchpoint Optima Plus will accept a span calibration gas concentration of between 30 %FSD and
