FlexSight™ LS2000 Line-of-Sight
Infrared Hydrocarbon Gas Detector
Important
Be sure to read and understand the
entire instruction manual before installing
or operating the gas detection system.
This product is intended to provide early
warning of the presence of a flammable
or explosive gas mixture. Proper device
installation, operation, and maintenance
is required to ensure safe and effective
operation.
application
T h e F l ex S i g h t™ L i n e - o f - S i g h t I n f ra re d
Hydrocarbon Gas Detector model LS2000 is a
line-of-sight infrared gas detection system that
provides continuous monitoring of combustible
hydrocarbon gas concentrations in the range of
0 to 5 LFL-meters, over a distance of 5 to 120
meters. Standard system outputs include an
electrically isolated/non-isolated 4–20 mA dc
current output with the ability to go below 4 mA
to indicate fault conditions, and also HART and
RS-485 Modbus communication. Alarm and
fault relays are available as an option.
4.2
©Detector Electronics Corporation 2016
The system consists of two stainless steel
modules — a transmitter and a receiver,
along with mounting and alignment bracket.
The receiver provides the measurement signal
outputs, and is furnished with onboard “status
indication” LEDs and an internal magnetic
calibration switch. The transmitter houses a high
quality xenon flash lamp and “status indication”
LEDs. Both modules are powered from an
external 24 volt DC supply and are equipped
with microprocessor controlled heated optics to
increase resistance to moisture and ice. Both
modules must be installed at approximately the
same elevation and must be aligned to point
directly at one another. No direct electrical
interconnection between the two modules is
required.
The LS2000 is certified explosion-proof for use
in Class I, Division 1 and Division 2 hazardous
areas, and has third par t y per formance
certification for methane, butane, and propane
gas detection. It can be used as a stand-alone
detector, or as part of a larger facility protection
system using other Det-Tronics equipment.

OPERATION overview
detectable gases
The LS2000 is capable of detecting most
hydrocarbon gases and vapors including
methane, propane, and butane. Gas type and
other operational parameters are selected via
HART or Modbus communication. The LS2000
is factory calibrated to methane, propane, and
butane, and comes from the factory set for
methane. For detection of gases other than the
three selection settings (methane, propane, and
butane), performance characteristics / transfer
curves are available. Please contact the factory
for details.
theory of operation
T he LS2 0 0 0 transmit ter module uses a
Xenon flash lamp to produce a collimated IR
light source. This light source illuminates the
path between transmitter and receiver. The
transmitter uses a filter to block visible light
emissions and is eye safe.
As flammable hydrocarbon gases intersect the
light beam between the two modules, certain
IR wavelengths are absorbed by the gas, while
other IR wavelengths are not. The amount of IR
absorption is determined by the concentration of
the hydrocarbon gas. A pair of optical detectors
and associated electronics located in the
receiver module measure the absorption. The
change in intensity of the absorbed light (active
signal) is measured relative to the intensity of
light at a non-absorbed wavelength (reference
signal). The microprocessor computes the
gas concentration and converts the value
into a 4-20 mA current output signal, which
is then communicated to external control and
annunciation systems.
DETECTION RANGES
The LS2000 is offered in two detection ranges in
order to meet customer needs, as listed below:
Short Range
5-60 meters
Long Range
30-120 meters
For installations with short separation distances
(5-15 meters for the short range model and
30-40 meters for the long range model), the
range reduction aperture kit (supplied) is
required. Refer to “Aperture Kit for Short Range
Applications” section in this manual for details.
The gas concentration is indicated by a 4-20 mA
signal, which corresponds to 0-5 LFL-meters.
To better understand the concept of LFL-meters,
refer to Figure 1, which shows how three gas
clouds of different size and concentration would
produce the same output of 1 LFL‑meter by the
line-of-sight gas detection system. To convert
a given LFL-m value to ppm-m for methane,
propane or butane gas, refer to Table 1.
The correct range for the LS2000 must be
chosen to meet specific application needs.
The detection range of the LS2000 pair is
determined by the Receiver. Receiver units
can be converted from long to short or short
to long range in the field by replacing the front
electronics module. A single transmitter model is
used for both detection range options.
standard output
1M @ 100% LFL = 1 LFL-M
The LS2000 receiver module provides an analog
4-20 mA signal output. HART and RS-485
Modbus serial communication are available
at either module. The 4-20 mA current loop
corresponding to 0–5 LFL-meters is provided
for connection to analog input devices such as
gas controllers, logic controllers, or distributed
control systems (DCS). To convert the mA
reading to LFL-meters, use the following formula:
2M @ 50% LFL = 1 LFL-M
10M @ 10% LFL = 1 LFL-M
mA Reading –4
X 5 = LFL-Meters

3. Synchronized LEDs on each device can
signal a common system status condition.
Without the link, the transmitter is unable to
signal alarm status.
optional relays
The LS2000 can be furnished with factory
installed relays — two programmable alarm
relay outputs and one fault relay output. All
relays are sealed and provide form C (NO/
NC) contacts. The high and low alarm relays
are programmable, and can be set for latching
/ non-latching operation, and a normally
energized / de-energized coil (see Table 3).
The low alarm cannot be set above the high
alarm threshold. Alarm configuration can be
done with the HART or Modbus interface.
The onboard multi-color LEDs indicate a LOW
alarm condition via a flashing red color, and a
HIGH alarm condition via a steady red color.
Latched alarms can be reset using the internal
magnetic switch, an external switch connected
to the calibration line terminal, a HART Field
Communicator, or Modbus communication. A
short-duration magnetic switch activation of
one second will reset latched alarms. Holding
the magnetic switch closed for a three second
duration will start the calibration sequence.
4. Transmitter variables can be configured via
connection to the receiver. Configurable
transmitter variables include lamp power and
heater settings.
Note
Alarm setpoints in the receiver cannot be
changed from the transmitter.
5. The communication link provides the ability to
initiate Calibration from either the transmitter
or receiver.
For retrofit applications where an interconnecting wire is not available or possible, the
system can operate without the link. If the link
is not connected, the system will not indicate a
“link fault.”
A “link fault” feature can be enabled (using a
HART handheld or Modbus device), which will
indicate a fault if the link is broken. The “link
fault” can only be detected and annunciated by
the receiver.
When the optional relays are ordered, the
LS2000 receiver is certified for Ex d operation.
optional communication link
By connecting the transmitter and receiver
via a three-wire shielded cable, an optional
“communication link” can be created between
the two devices.
note
The default setting for the”link fault”
feature is Disabled.
NOTE
A l l t h i rd - p a r t y p e r fo r m a n c e a n d
hazardous location approvals apply
with and without the communication link
connected.
The communication link offers the following
advantages:
1. Single point system diagnostics – The link
offers the ability to view device variables
of the receiver while connected to the
transmitter, or vice versa (using a HART
ha ndh e ld o r M o dbu s d ev ic e). T h e s e
variables include signal strength, status, and
configuration parameters such as alarm set
points, heater settings, gas type, etc.
history logs
Non-volatile memory is provided in the receiver
to save a record of the 10 0 most recent
calibrations and 1000 most recent alarm/fault
events. Operating temperature and voltage of
the receiver are also recorded with each event
log. A real time clock is provided for time
stamping events. This information is accessible
using HART or Modbus communication.
2. Dynamic lamp power – The link enables
the system to optimize lamp power per the
application. This optimization only happens
during the zero calibration process.

operation
internal Magnetic Switch /
calibration line terminal
An internal magnetic switch is provided for
resetting latched alarms and initiating field zero
calibration. See Figure 2 for switch location. The
same functions can be accomplished remotely
by installing a switch (momentary closure)
between the CAL and 0V COM terminals on
the LS2 0 0 0 receiver. M omentar y switch
activation will reset alarms, while holding the
switch closed for three seconds or longer (not
to exceed 30 seconds) will start the calibration
sequence. The LEDs will begin flashing green
(5 Hz) when the reset criteria have been met and
will change to flashing yellow (5 Hz) when the
calibration period has been met (>3 seconds,
<30 seconds). The device will reset if the switch
is released during a flashing green LED and will
enter calibration if the switch is released during a
flashing yellow LED.

Operating Modes
Normal
The LS2000 has three operating modes: warmup, normal (measuring / monitoring), and
calibrate.
After warm-up mode is completed, the device
automatically enters the Normal mode, and all
analog and alarm outputs are enabled. The
LS2000 modules must be properly aligned
before normal operation is attained. See the
“Installation” section of this manual for details.
Warm-up
Warm-up mode is entered upon application of
24 Vdc operating power. During warm-up, the
0-20 mA current loop output will indicate warmup, the indicating LED is yellow, and the alarm
outputs are disabled. The warm-up time typically
lasts from 15 to 150 seconds, depending upon
alignment accuracy.
Calibrate
After alignment is completed, zero calibration
is required. Span calibration of the LS2000 is
performed at the factory; however, the user
has the option to verify proper calibration if
necessary. It is recommended that the zero
calibration procedure be performed annually.
Refer to the “Calibration” section in this manual
for details.

4-20 mA Current Loop Output
The LS2000 provides a linear current loop
output that is proportional to the detected gas
level. Fault and calibration status are also
indicated by this output.
The full-scale output corresponding to 5 LFLmeters is 20 mA. HART and Modbus interfaces
also have the ability to calibrate (trim) the 4 mA
and 20 mA levels.
The LS2000 is equipped with output monitoring
circuitry for the current loop and will indicate
a fault when the output mA level does not
match the output set point of the device. This
monitoring (disabled by default) will indicate
a fault if the current loop is not terminated
correctly. The loop monitoring feature can be
enabled via HART or Modbus communication.
*See "Heater Control" section for details.
note: The system must be configured for less than 60% of the
full scale measuring range, with consideration to the
accepted gas cloud size and concentration.

Important Safety Notes
Liabilities
The manufacturer’s warranty for this
product is void, and all liability for proper
function of the system is irrevocably
transferred to the owner or operator in
the event that printed circuit boards
are removed or the device is serviced
or repaired by personnel not employed
or authorized by Detector Electronics
Corporation, or if the system is used in a
manner not conforming to its intended use.
CAUTION
The wiring procedures in this manual are
intended to ensure proper functioning
of the system under normal conditions.
However, because of the many variations
in wiring codes and regulations, total
compliance to these ordinances cannot
be guaranteed. Be certain that all wiring
complies with the NEC as well as all
local ordinances. If in doubt, consult the
authority having jurisdiction before wiring
the system. Installation must be done by a
properly trained person.
Caution
Observe precautions for handling
electrostatic sensitive devices.
CAUTION
This product has been tested and
approved for use in hazardous areas.
However, it must be properly installed
and used only under the conditions
specified within this manual and the
specific approval certificates. Any device
modification, improper installation, or use
in a faulty or incomplete configuration will
render warranty and product certifications
invalid.
note
The LS2000 is intended for detection of
hydrocarbon vapors only. The device will
not detect hydrogen gas.
note
The terminal compartment for LS2000
without relays is designed for either
an increased safety “e” termination or a
flameproof “d” termination of the supply
cable. If a flameproof connection is
chosen, then an ATEX certified cable entry
device must be used. The LS2000 with
relays requires Ex d cable entry devices
only.
CAUTION
The system contains no user serviceable
internal components. Service or repair
should never be attempted by the user.
Device repair should be performed only
by the manufacturer or trained service

Installation
Avoid installation in areas with obstructions
such as steam vents and plumes, smoke stacks
and chimneys, walkways and personnel areas,
splash and sprayed water, parking, loading,
cranes, vehicle-related areas such as bus stops,
road junctions, and vegetation such as trees,
shrubs, grass etc.
Identification of vapor(s) to be
detected
It is necessary to identify the flammable
vapor(s) of interest at the job site in order to
determine the proper calibration gas setting for
the LS2000. In addition, the physical and fire
hazard properties of the vapor, such as vapor
density and flashpoint, should be identified and
used to assist in selecting the optimum detector
mounting locations within the area. The detector
must be installed by qualified personnel only,
following local electrical equipment installation
practices.
Det-Tronics Field Service Engineering group
routinely provides jobsite application surveys
and analysis for customers, and their services
are highly recommended if guidance on
optimum installation locations is required.
Additional guidance on the positioning of gas
detectors for optimum coverage is contained in
BS6959 and other national codes. Consult these
codes of practice when determining where
detectors are to be located.
System Location considerations
The LS2000 system is designed for installation
in hazardous industrial areas. Each module is
normally installed using a solid vertical steel
post or flat surface mounting adapter to support
the weight of the module. The modules must be
strategically located so that the hydrocarbon
vapor(s) to be detected will intersect the light
beam generated by the transmitter module.
Dispersion characteristics and behavior of
the vapor cloud resulting from a gas leak can
be difficult to estimate due to the significant
number of variables that exist at different
applications. Identification of expected gas
leakage source(s), leak scenario identification,
determination of prevailing wind direction, and
onsite leak simulation are the steps generally
recommended to provide the most accurate
means of identifying optimum system installation
locations.
Consideration of the following system location
guidelines is also recommended. Routine
maintenance is recommended after abnormal
events.
Module Separation Distance
The transmitter and receiver modules must be
installed directly facing each other across the
area to be protected. Physical obstructions in
the direct line of sight between the modules are
not permitted. The overall line of sight distance
between the modules must not fall outside the
specified operating distance range (refer to
“Specifications” for details).
Multiple System Installations
If multiple LS2000 systems are to be installed,
ensure that each receiver can view only the
intended transmitter. For fence line applications,
the recommended order is Tx-Rx, Rx-Tx, Tx-Rx,
etc. as shown in Figure 6.
In all cases, the beam path and surrounding
area should be kept free of obstructions that
could block the infrared beam or hinder the free
movement of air within the area. A clear beam
path of 20 CM diameter or greater is required.
The system is immune to the effects of exposure
to both direct and reflected sunlight.
HAZARDOUS
AREA
For redundant systems, spacing between units
should be a minimum of 3 ft (1 meter) and the
receiver should be set back from the transmitter
a minimum of 12 inches (30 cm) as shown in
Figure 7.

System Mounting Elevation
Snow and Ice in Ambients Below –20°C
In all cases, the modules should be installed
at the same elevation above grade to ensure
that alignment capability and foul weather
performance are not compromised. For detection
of lighter than air vapors such as methane,
installation of modules at approximately 2 meters
above grade minimizes typical beam block
conditions due to human activities, while enabling
satisfactory detection capability. For detection of
heavier than air vapors, installation of detectors
below the expected leakage source is generally
recommended unless nuisance beam blocks
will occur at an unacceptable rate. In this case,
identification and analysis of application specific
conditions should be completed to determine the
optimum installation elevation.
The heated optics on both modules will
melt snow or ice on the windows in ambient
temperatures down to approximately –20°C.
Below this temperature, snow or ice blown
onto the window will not be melted until the
ambient temperature rises. If long term outdoor
operation in very cold climates is intended, extra
shielding / covers are recommended to prevent
accumulation of snow and ice on the windows.
Deluge and Flooding
The modules are rated IP66/IP67 and will not
be damaged by occasional deluge or flooding.
However, during such an event, the unit will
completely lose its IR signal and will enter the
“Beam-Block / Fault” state. In addition, when
the deluge / flooding subsides, there is the
possibility that contaminants will be left on the
windows. Install the modules away from areas
prone to deluge or flooding.
Sources of Heavy Contamination
Avoid locations where high levels of
contaminants will persistently be blown onto
the detector windows. Potential sources of
heavy contamination include generator / turbine
exhausts, flare stacks, drilling equipment,
process vents / chimneys, etc. If sources of heavy
contamination cannot be avoided, consider fitting
extra shielding and/or providing good access for
routine cleaning.
Areas Prone to Subsidence and Settling
Avoid installation of the modules in areas
where problems with subsidence, settling or
thawing of permafrost can occur or cause
significant movement. If such locations cannot
be avoided, the foundations of the mounting
structure should be engineered to minimize any
angular movements between the receiver and
transmitter.”
LED Visibility
W h e n eve r p o s sibl e, s e l e ct a m o u nting
orientation where the status indication LED is
visible to personnel within the area.
The LS2000 provides the option to turn off the
Green LED in the Normal mode when no alarms
or faults are occurring. When configured for
OFF mode, the green LED will turn OFF after
a specified period of time. The default is 60
seconds, with a selectable range from 30 to 600
seconds.
Do NOT expect the LED to turn off immediately
after changing the setting. Also note that
momentary closure of the magnetic switch, fault
clear, and alarm clear will reset the OFF mode
timer, and the green LED will remain lit for the
selected time delay period.

When using a vertical post, the post must be
absolutely stable and without vibration. Square
stock pole is recommended. Mounting height
should not exceed 3 meters.
Areas Prone to Earthquakes
In the event of an earthquake, there is a chance
that the modules will become misaligned with
respect to each other. As long as the modules
do not suffer from direct mechanical impact
damage during an earthquake, they should
remain undamaged by such events. After an
earthquake, it is recommended that the system
alignment be checked. Anti-vibration mounts
are unlikely to be of any benefit and are not
recommended.
The post can be set into the ground or attached
to a secure surface. If a post is set into the
ground, the portion below grade should be set in
concrete at least 1 meter deep.
IMPORTANT
In all cases, consider whether additional
bracing or support is needed to ensure
the structural integrity of the module
installation. See Figure 8. Remember that
accurate module alignment is essential
for proper performance of a line-of-sight
gas detection system. Movement may
have a detrimental effect on alignment.
This is especially true for installations with
significant module separation distances.
Misalignment by Accidental Impact
Locations where there is a significant likelihood
of equipment, personnel or moving objects
accidentally knocking the modules out of
alignment should be avoided where possible.
If such locations cannot be avoided, measures
including improved mechanical protection and
warning notices should be considered.
Module Mounting Recommendations
Module mounting options include:
LS2000 modules must be affixed to a solid,
non-vibrating structure capable of supporting
a minimum of 100 lbs, 46 kg, located within the
system’s rated separation distance.
• A vertical or horizontal post with a nominal
outside diameter of 4.5”, 11.43 cm.
Acceptable outside diameter range is 4–4
5/8”, 10.16–11.75 cm. See Figure 9.
• For flat surface mounting, refer to Figure 10.
A building wall, a heavy steel I-beam, or nearly
any type of masonry typically provides the most
rigid mounting surface available. However, avoid
the use of wood structures or supports if the
possibility of warping exists.
note
Anti-seize material (provided) must be
applied to the U-bolt threads at the time of
installation to prevent galling.
note
To ease installation and future removal,
all threaded covers, stopping plugs,
and thread adapters must be installed
using thread lubricant. See the “Ordering
Information” section for part number —
avoid the use of silicone grease. For
devices with NPT threads, Teflon tape or
thread seal lubricant must be used for
enhanced sealing capability. A minimum
torque of 20 foot-pounds is required to
maintain ingress protection. To maintain
the IP or NEMA ratings when using NPT
stopping plugs, one to three wraps of
Teflon tape is required.

Calculate the total gas detection system power
consumption rate in watts from cold start-up.
Select a power supply with adequate capability
for the calculated load. Ensure that the selected
power supply provides regulated and filtered 24
Vdc power for the entire system. If a back-up
power system is required, a float-type battery
charging system is recommended. If an existing
source of 24 Vdc power is being utilized, verify
that system requirements are met.
Flat Surface Mount
An optional adapter plate (part number 012718003) is available for converting an existing
OPECL flat surface mount to an LS2000 flat
surface mount without drilling new holes. See
Figure 11 for dimensions. The mounted LS2000
will have the following offsets compared to the
OPECL detector (when looking straight at the
wall/beam).
note
If disconnection of power is required,
separate disconnect capability must be
provided.
Left/right = 0”
Up/down = 1 inch lower
In/out = 0.3” closer to the wall/beam for the

Wiring cable requirements
Pole Mount
Always use proper cabling type and diameter
for input power as well as output signal wiring.
14–18 AWG, 2.5–1.0 mm 2 shielded stranded
copper wire is recommended.
The LS2000 can be mounted to the same pole
as the Model OPECL using U-bolts. The LS2000
will have the following offsets compared to the
OPECL detector.
Always install a properly sized master power
fuse or breaker on the system power circuit.
Left/right = 0”
Up/down = 0” if the top U-bolt for the LS2000
is mounted 1” lower than the top U-bolt of the

note
The use of shielded cable in conduit
or shielded armored cable is required
for ATEX conformance. In applications
where the wiring is installed in conduit,
dedicated conduit is recommended.
Avoid low frequency, high voltage, and
non-signaling conductors to prevent
nuisance EMI problems.

AC voltage should not be switched directly
using the LS2000 relays. The use of an external
relay is required if AC voltage must be switched
by the LS2000 relays. Note: External relay is not
covered by any Certifications.
power wiring size and maximum
length
1. To ensure proper operation, LS2000 power
terminals and 4-20 mA terminals must receive
18 Vdc minimum. 24 Vdc is recommended.
In order to change alarm relay settings from the
factory default settings, it is recommended to
use a HART Field Communicator. Contact the
factory for further assistance.
2. Always determine voltage drops that will
occur to ensure that 24 Vdc is delivered to the
LS2000.
3. Normally, nothing smaller than 18 AWG, 1.0
mm 2 is recommended by Det-Tronics for
LS2000 power cabling.
NOTE
R e f e r t o “A l a r m R e l a y s ” i n t h e
“Specifications” section of this manual
for important information regarding alarm
relays.
Wire size requirements are dependent upon
power supply voltage and wire length.
The maximum distance between the LS2000
detector and its power supply is determined
by the ma ximum allowable voltage drop
for the power wiring loop. If the voltage drop
is exceeded, the device will not operate. To
determine the maximum power loop voltage
drop, subtract the minimum operating voltage
for the device (18 Vdc) from the minimum output
voltage of the power supply.
wiring PROCEDURE
To determine the actual maximum wire length:
Cable shield, if used, should be properly
terminated. If not terminated, clip the shield
wire off short and insulate it within the detector
housing to prevent the shield wire from
accidentally contacting the detector housing or
any other wire.
For systems using conduit, modules must
be wired using a short piece of suitable
flexible conduit to allow optical alignment of
the modules. Conductor insulation should be
stripped off with a bare conductor length of 0.2
inch (5 mm) minimum and 0.35 inch (9 mm)
maximum. Screw terminal torque range is 3.5–
4.4 lb.-in. (0.4–0.5 N•m).
1. Divide the maximum allowable voltage drop
by the maximum current draw of the LS2000
(0.771 A),
2. Divide by the resistance of the wire (ohms/
foot value available in wire manufacturer’s
specification data sheet),
Figure 12 shows the wiring terminal strip located
inside the detector’s integral junction box.
3. Divide by 2.
note
The LS2000 housing must be electrically
connected to earth ground. A dedicated
earth ground lug is provided for this
purpose.
For example: Consider an installation using 18
AWG wiring with a power supply providing 24
Vdc.
Power supply voltage = 24 Vdc,
LS2000 minimum operating voltage = 18 Vdc

Optional relay contacts are “dry”, meaning that
the installer must provide the voltage to the
common terminal of the relay output.

95-8714
note
For proper HART communication, it
is required that an analog signal loop
resistance of 250 to 500 ohms be
present at the receiver analog output
terminals. For LS2000 systems using
HART communication, the maximum
wiring distance is 2,000 feet. No external
resistance needs to be added to the
transmitter wiring for proper HART
operation.
A pair of HART connector pins is provided for
ease in connecting a HART handheld device.
See Figure 21 for location.

note
To establish the optional “communication
link” between the transmitter and receiver,
connect a three-wire shielded cable to the
INTR A, INTR B, and INTR GND terminals
of the two devices. See Figure 22. Take
care not to connect any of these lines
to 0V COM. Doing so will damage the
4–20 mA circuit and make the device
susceptible to surge.

Equipment Required
ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
1. Properly installed and powered LS2000 system
(transmitter and receiver). Easy access to both
modules is highly recommended.
1. Ensure that the system modules are located
within the specified separation range and
securely fixed to the support structures.
Bypass all external gas alarm devices that are
connected to the receiver outputs.
2. LS2000 Alignment Tool. The alignment tool is
recommended for use in commissioning all
LS2000 systems. The following instructions
cover the use of the Alignment Tool.
2. Ensure that the system modules are installed
with their windows at approximately the same
height above grade. Each module should be
roughly aligned to face in the direction of the
other module.
3. 9/16 inch wrench.
4. 15/16 inch wrench.
3. L o o s e n t h e H o r i z o n t a l a n d Ve r t i c a l
Adjustment Bolts on the mounting and
alignment bracket using the 9/16” wrench
for the Horizontal Adjustment Bolts and the
15/16” wrench for the Vertical Adjustment
Bolts. See Figure 23.
5. For installations with shor t separation
distances (5-15 meters for the short range
model and 30-40 meters for the long range
model), the short range aperture kit (supplied)
is typically needed. Refer to the “Aperture Kit
for Short Range Applications” section in this
manual for details.
4. Loosen the four Horizontal Locking Bolts on
top of the mounting and alignment bracket
using a 9/16” wrench, then retighten until just
snug against the top plate of the Detector
Mounting Assembly. The Detector Mounting
Assembly should still be able to rotate on its
axis when adjusting the Horizontal Adjustment
Bolts. If not, slightly loosen the four Horizontal
Locking Bolts.
5. Remove the brow by gently working side to
side while pulling forward.

6. Install the Alignment Tool onto the receiver
module by inserting the captive thumbscrews
into the threaded holes on the faceplate. See
Figure 24. Ensure that the alignment tool is
properly attached, that the eyepiece is
accessible, and that the thumbscrews are
completely tightened.
7. Using the Horizontal and Vertical Adjustment
Bolts, adjust the receiver module as required
until the cross hairs are centered as close
as possible to dead center on the window
of the transmitter module. Do not tighten the
adjustment bolts at this time, just snug down
all adjustment bolts finger tight.
8. Slightly loosen the Vertical Adjustment Bolts
so that tightening the four Horizontal Locking
Bolts does not cause the Detector Mounting
Assembly to bind as it is being pulled up.
9. Tighten the four Horizontal Locking Bolts in
an opposing-alternating pattern. Torque each
bolt to 200 in-lbs (22.6 N•m) maximum.
Figure 24— LS2000 with Alignment Tool Installed
10.Tighten the Horizontal Adjustment Bolts to 200
in-lbs (22.6 N•m) maximum, being careful to
tighten each bolt evenly against each other
to prevent torquing of the Detector Mounting
Assembly. Tighten the Locking nuts to 200
in-lbs (22.6 N•m) maximum. The mounting
and alignment bracket is now secured
horizontally.
B. Return the scope to its original position
(rotate 180°) and repeat steps 7 through
13 until correct alignment is achieved.
note
No further adjustments are required
when the cross hairs are centered on
the window with the scope in both 180°
positions.
11. Verify alignment using the Alignment Tool.
The Vertical alignment may have shifted
slightly due to tightening of the four Horizontal
locking bolts pulling the Detector Mounting
Assembly up. Adjust the vertical alignment if
needed using the Vertical Adjustment Bolts.
14. R epeat the alignment procedure for the
transmitter module (steps 3 to 13).
15. Re-check the alignment one final time using
the alignment tool and adjust as needed.
12. When proper alignment has been achieved,
tighten the Ver tical Adjustment Bolts
and Locking Nuts to 90 ft-lbs (122 N•m)
maximum, being careful to tighten each
bolt evenly against each other to prevent
torquing of the Detector Mounting Assembly.
The Receiver is now secured vertically and
aligned with the Transmitter.
16. Remove the Alignment Tool and re-install the
brow.
17. Bypass all external gas alarm devices that
are connected to the receiver outputs, and
then apply 24 Vdc power to the modules.
18.
U p o n c o m p l e t i o n o f wa r m - u p m o d e
(approximately two minutes or less), the
receiver should produce a 4 mA output
signal and a green LED indication. If not,
the required zero calibration step below may
resolve this issue.
13. Rotate the telescope alignment tool by 180°
and verify that the cross hairs are in the
same position. If the cross hairs are not in
the same position, the telescope alignment
screws must be adjusted as follows:
19. F or installations with module separation
distances between 5 and 40 meters, install
the aperture as described in the “Aperture Kit
for Short Range Applications” section.
A. Adjust the telescope alignment screws
until the cross hairs are midway between
the original position (center of transmitter
window) and the current position (after the
scope was rotated 180°). See Figure 25.

20. Perform a zero calibration. (Refer to “Zero
Calibration” in the “Calibration” section of this
manual.) Any faults that may be present as
a result of the alignment process should be
cleared.
23. When Basic Alignment and Zero Calibration
have been successfully completed, a green
LED should be displayed on the receiver
module and the analog signal output level
should be 4.0 milliamperes.
NOTE
The LS2000 transmitter lamp output
intensity is automatically optimized
during the zero calibration process if the
communication link wires are attached
between transmitter and receiver. If
no communication link is installed, the
transmitter lamp output can be adjusted
via Modbus or HART connection to
the transmitter. This adjustment is rarely
needed. (See “Transmitter Lamp Voltage”
section for more information.)
Aperture Kit for Short Range
Applications
T he S ho r t Range A per ture K it enables
successful application of the LS2000 gas
detector at short separation distances (5–15
meters for the short range model and 30–40
meters for the long range model). The aperture
is made of aluminum and is included with the
LS2000 transmitter.
21. Proper operation should be confirmed by
bypassing all system alarms, then placing
an optical test film (sold separately) into the
light beam and checking for the appropriate
4–20 mA output level or relay actuation.
The LS20 0 0 test film packet consists
of five separate test films. Table 7 shows
the response of the different LS2000 gas
settings to each of the five test films. Alarm
conditions, if present, should clear when the
test film is removed from the beam.

Procedure for System Commissioning
Using the Aperture
Gain Level Check (Optional)
It is necessary to complete the alignment
procedure before checking the gain level.
HART or Modbus communication is required to
check the gain.
1. Align the LS2000 system using the Basic
Alignment procedure. At the completion
of this alignment, the output signal at the
receiver may indicate a fault condition
as a result of signal saturation. (See the
“Gain Level Check” section for additional
information on signal strength checks.)
Procedure
1. Connect the handheld HART communicator
to the receiver module’s 4–20 mA circuit.
2. Attach the aperture to the front of the LS2000
transmitter module using the captive screws
provided. For best weather protection, the
aperture hole should be located at the top of
the unit.
2. Turn on the HART communicator and check
for LS2000 device recognition. When HART
communication is established, the LS2000
Online menu will be displayed on the
communicator display.
3. Perform a zero calibration. After performing the
zero calibration, the receiver module should
display a normal condition (green LED) and a
steady 4 mA output.
3. From the Online menu, Navigate to the
Detector Setup menu, then select the Sensor
Setup menu.
4. The following screen will be displayed.
Observe the level indicated for “Gain.”
note
If the receiver continues to indicate a fault
condition as a result of signal saturation,
rotate the aperture 90 degrees and repeat

5. Table 8 can be used as a guideline for new
installations to assess the detector gain level
with proper alignment.
• The HART communication device must
include the LS2000 device descriptor
(DD) software menu. The use of HART
communication devices without the proper
DDs may establish generic mode HART
communication, but will not enable proper
operation with LS2000. Refer to the HART
Appendix for additional information.
Table 8—Expected Gas Gain Settings for LS2000
• A minimum level of understanding with regard
to the operation and navigation of the HART
communicator is required. Please refer to the
appropriate HART communicator instruction
manual for basic operating instructions if
required. Additional information on the use of
the HART communicator is provided within the
HART Appendix in this document.

6. Verify the gain setting. The gas gain setting
options are 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100; ideal
gain settings are 2, 5, and 10.
CALIBRATION OVERVIEW
Span calibration is not required. The LS2000
supports non-intrusive field zero calibration,
although routine calibration is normally not
required.
A gain of 1 indicates that the system may be
near saturation (signal strength is too high). If
the gas gain number = 1 and the Active avg
or Ref avg numbers are greater than 1500,
use the aperture kit to reduce signal. See
the “Transmitter Lamp Voltage” section for
additional signal strength reduction options
as needed. If using the Long range receiver,
it may be necessary to switch to the Short
range version.
Zero Calibration
Zero Calibration is a one-step process consisting
of clean air (zero) condition adjustment only,
which is per formed automatically by the
device. This procedure adjusts the “clean
air” signal output only, and is normally used
if the gas output signal level has drifted. The
cause of drift is typically due to the presence of
background gas during calibration. Additionally,
the zero calibration procedure will optimize
the transmitter lamp output intensity if the
optional communication link is installed. This is
useful for situations where the signal strength
at the receiver is too large (saturation) or too
small. Ensure that the optical path is clear of
hydrocarbons prior to calibration initiation to
ensure an accurate zero (clean air) condition.
A gain of 20 or greater indicates that the
system signal strength is less than expected.
Ensure that the system has a clear beam
path, clean windows, and was properly
aligned and calibrated in clear weather. See
the “Transmitter Lamp Voltage” section for
additional signal strength increase options
as needed. If using the Short range receiver,
it may be necessary to switch to the Long
range version.
Contact the factory for further information or
assistance.
important Calibration Notes
In all cases, a green LED and 4 mA output
indicate that the unit will properly perform its
safety function. Gain adjustments and checks
are simply a way to optimize the system so
that it will perform in the widest variety of
application scenarios (e.g., shifting mounts,
inclement weather, mechanical impact, lens
obscuration, etc.).
note
Ensure that the detector has been
operating for at least two hours before
calibrating.
Note
Always ensure that the LS2000 optics
are totally free of all hydrocarbons before
initiating calibration.
TRANSMITTER LAMP VOLTAGE
Note
Zero calibration cannot be performed if
the detector is improperly aligned. When
correct alignment is achieved, the sensor
ratio (active vs. reference signals) should
be between 0.8 and 1.3. To check the ratio,
connect a HART handheld and navigate to:
Main > Detector Status > Sensor Info > Ratio
An out-of-tolerance ratio value typically
indicates incorrect alignment or presence
of background gas.
The LS2000 has a feature that automatically
adjusts transmitter lamp voltage during zero
calibration if the communication link is
connected. (This feature is disabled by default.)
Alternatively, lamp voltage can be adjusted via
HART or Modbus communication directly to the
transmitter. The transmitter lamp voltage should
be lowered to reduce signal at the receiver.
Transmitter lamp voltage should be raised to
increase signal at the Receiver. The adjustment
range for the transmitter lamp is 400-950 V
(default = 750 V). Contact the factory for further
information or assistance.

CALIBRATION INITIATION
Calibration Sequence
Calibration may be initiated by any of the
following means:
1. Initiate calibration using one of the methods
listed above:
• The onboard magnetic calibration switch
A. The LEDs continue to flash yellow at 5 Hz.
• Digital communication via HART (see HART
appendix) or Modbus communication (consult
factory for details)
B. The current output decreases to 1 mA,
2.2 mA, or as configured by the user.
2. When zero calibration is complete:
• Remote calibration line
A. The onboard LEDs change from flashing
yellow to steady green.
Upon initiation, the LS20 0 0 automatically
performs the zero calibration adjustment,
and then signals with a green LED when this
operation is complete.
B. Calibration is complete and the current
output returns to 4 mA.
Note
Calibration will time out if unsuccessful
after 10 minutes.
Calibration Using Magnetic Switch
The LS2000 receiver provides an onboard
magnetic calibration/reset switch for nonintrusive calibration capability. The magnetic
switch is actuated by holding a calibration
magnet at the specified location on the device
bulkhead. See Figure 2 for switch location.
An onboard multi-color LED provides status
indication during calibration.
Note
To abort an in-process calibration, repeat
the calibration initiation sequence (e.g.,
hold the magnet for three seconds or
more and release). The device will revert
to its previous calibration setting.
To initiate calibration, hold the calibration
magnet against the side of the receiver at the
location shown in Figure 2. Apply the magnet for
3 to 30 seconds and release while the LEDs are
flashing yellow at 5 Hz.
Calibration Using Calibration Line Terminal
The calibration / reset function can be
accomplished remotely by installing a switch
between the CAL and 0V COM terminals of the
LS2000 receiver.
To initiate calibration, short the CAL and OV
COM terminals for 3 to 30 seconds and release
while LEDs are flashing yellow at 5 Hz.

Maintenance
FUNCTIONAL CHECKING
Functional checks should be performed as
required by site conditions and local regulations.
For specific approval requirements regarding
functional checks, see appendices and the
LS2000 safety manual.
Warning
Do not open cover when an explosive gas
atmosphere may be present.
note
Refer to the LS2000 Safety Manual,
number 95-8727, for specific requirements
and recommendations applicable to
the proper installation, operation, and
maintenance of all SIL‑Certified LS2000
IR gas detectors.
Det-Tronics provides two functional check
options for the LS2000. The test film method
provides a basic functional check as described
in step 20 of the basic alignment procedure.
Alternatively, the gas test cell method can be
used for a more precise output verification.
The gas cell is typically used to verify the
factory calibration of the LS2000. The gas cell
has a known optical length and has infrared
transparent windows on both ends. When filled
with 100% v/v gas, it contains a specific LFL-M
amount of gas. When the gas cell is placed in
the beam of the detector, the output will rise to a
specific value.
Routine Inspection
The LS2000 detector should be inspected
periodically to ensure that external obstructions
such as plastic bags, mud, snow, or other
materials do not block the path and thereby
impair the performance of the device.
Optics Cleaning
The gas cell is not intended for routine use. It
does, however, demonstrate in a very direct way
the response of the detector to hydrocarbons
along with the resulting control action. This is
particularly useful when required by regulatory
authorities. See the gas cell instruction manual,
number 95-8591, for further details and use
instructions.
Cleaning of the LS20 0 0 optical surfaces
is normally required only if an optical fault is
indicated.
Thoroughly douse both window surfaces using a
liberal amount of isopropyl alcohol to clear away
contaminant particles. Repeat the alcohol flush
to remove any remaining contaminants.
Protective caps and covers
WARNING
B y p a s s / I n h i b i t : Vo l a t i l e o r g a n i c
compounds in cleaning solutions could
cause false alarms.
4.2
Ensure that the wiring compartment cover is
installed and fully engaged.

95-8714
Troubleshooting
A Fault status is indicated by a yellow LED and
also by the 4-20 mA output. Refer to Table 9 for
assistance in correcting malfunctions with the
LS2000 Detector
Table 9—Troubleshooting Guide
Fault Condition
Corrective Action
Low 24 volts
24 vdc operating voltage is out of range. Verify proper wiring to the detector
and correct voltage output from the power source. Power supply faults are
self-clearing when the condition is corrected. If the fault does not clear,
consult the factory.
Dirty Optics
Perform cleaning procedure, then recalibrate as required. (Refer to
“Maintenance” for details.)
Calibration Fault
If the calibration process is allowed to time-out, the fault is set and can only be
reset with a successful calibration.
Negative Signal Output
This fault is indicated when the signal output drops below –0.5 LFL-M.
Normally detection capability is not compromised in this condition.
The device was probably zero calibrated with background gas present.
If the condition persists, purge with clean air and repeat the zero calibration.
Ensure that the heaters are on and the windows are not fogged.
Calibration line active at
start-up
The only way to clear this fault is to correct the wiring and reapply power.
Be sure that the calibration line is not shorted and that the calibration switch is
open. If the fault does not clear, consult the factory.
Signal Saturation
Add aperture to the transmitter module or adjust lamp voltage if needed.
EE Error
Return unit to the factory.
Other Faults
Consult the factory.

2. Transmitter
Remove the seven stainless steel flange bolts
using a 6 mm hex wrench. See Figure 26.
Take care to properly support the module as
the last flange bolt is removed.
Warning
Do not open when an explosive gas
atmosphere may be present.
Receiver
Using a 5/16 inch hex wrench, loosen the
locking set screw. Turn the retainer ring by
hand to loosen the module. See Figure 27.
Caution
Only Det-Tronics authorized personnel are
allowed to perform this repair.
3. Carefully remove the old module by extracting
it straight out from the bulkhead.
CAUTION
Replacement of the LS2000 transmitter or
receiver module requires disassembly of
the device housing. Remove power to the
device before disassembly.
4. Ensure that the O-ring is present, undamaged,
and correctly seated in the groove. This O-ring
is required to maintain the watertight integrity of
the LS2000 housing.
CAUTION
The LS2000 detector contains
semiconductor devices that are sensitive
to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use
normal precautions for handling ESD
sensitive devices. Handle the device
by the housing, taking care not to touch
electronic components or terminals.
Module Replacement Procedure
Tools Required:
– 6 mm hex wrench (transmitter)
– 5/16 inch hex wrench (receiver)
– Torque wrench capable of accurately
measuring 40 inch-pounds
1. Bypass system alarms as needed, then
remove 24 Vdc power from the LS2000

5. Line up the pin on the replacement module
with the hole in the bulkhead and insert the
module straight into the bulkhead. See Figure
28 for the transmitter and Figure 29 for the
receiver.
important
If the LS2000 module had an aperture
installed, install the aperture after
performing the alignment procedure
(install aperture on the transmitter, not on
the receiver). If the separation distance
is between 5–40 meters and signal
saturation is indicated after completion
of the Basic Alignment procedure, an
aperture will be required (even if no
aperture was originally installed). Refer
to the “Aperture Kit for Short Range
Applications” section of this manual for
complete information regarding apertures.
6. Transmitter
Insert and tighten the seven flange bolts
in an opposing consecutive order in two
stages — first partially tighten all seven bolts
equally, and then fully tighten each bolt in
an opposing order to 90 in-lbs (10.2 N•m)
maximum of torque. Bolts are M8-1.25x 16M.
Caution
Flange bolts are critical to maintaining
the flameproof properties of the LS2000.
If replacement flange bolts are needed,
DEC spare part number 012713‑001 must
be used in order to maintain the integrity
of the enclosure. The use of any other
bolts will void the Ex d certification of the
LS2000.
9. Perform a zero calibration of the detector.
10. Upon completion of zero calibration, verify
proper operation by performing an “optical
test film test” and also a “beam block test”
(see steps 20 and 21 in the “Basic Alignment
Procedure” section in this manual).
note
Replacement receiver modules are
furnished from the factory with default
configuration settings. If the LS2000
system has had any configuration
changes in the field, the new receiver
will require changes to configuration
parameters using a HART communicator,
a FlexVu UD10 display unit, or Modbus
communication.
Receiver
Fully tighten the retainer ring on the receiver
module, then tighten the set screw to prevent
the ring from being turned.
7. When all equipment has been properly
installed, ensure that system alarms are
appropriately bypassed and apply power to
the system.
11. Restore system alarms (remove bypass).

Appendix F
HART Communication
Digital communication with the LS2000 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 LS2000 with the HART Handheld
Communicator.
interconnecting the HART communicator with the LS2000
Connect the HART Communicator to the LS2000. Press the “on” key to switch on the HART
Communicator. The Online menu is the first menu to appear when the Communicator is properly
connected to the LS2000. This menu is structured to provide important information about the
connected device immediately on powering up the Communicator. This menu displays up-to-date
device information including primary variable, analog output, lower range value, and upper range
value.
Note
The HART protocol incorporates a concept called the “Device Description Language” that
enables all suppliers of HART instruments to define and document their products in a single
consistent format. This format is readable by handheld communicators, PC’s and other process
interface devices that support DDL. DDL enables full interoperability of devices, regardless of
manufacturer, allowing full functionality from any HART device.
In the event that your Communicator does not establish communications with the LS2000, you may
need to ensure that the appropriate DDLs for the LS2000 are included within your Communicator. To
review the device descriptions programmed into your HART Communicator:
1. From the Main menu, press to access Offline menu.
2. From the Offline menu, press New Configurations to access the list of device descriptions
programmed into your HART Communicator. The Manufacturer menu displays a list of each
manufacturer with device descriptions currently installed in your Communicator’s Memory Module.
The standard 12 MB Memory Module is recommended, as it allows for more device descriptions.
3. Select a manufacturer, and the Model menu displays, containing a list of currently installed device
models provided by the selected manufacturer.
4. Review the different manufacturers and models to determine the installed HART-compatible
devices in your Communicator.
If you cannot find the LS2000 device on your Communicator, the device revision you are looking for is
not programmed into the Memory Module. In this instance, you are limited to what is available using
the generic interface built into your HART Communicator.
The HART Communication Foundation (www.ccsi.com/hart) manages a library of Manufacturer
Device Descriptions, which are distributed to programming sites for inclusion in master devices. A
complete listing of the HCF DD Library is available for download in manufacturer and device type
sequence.
NOTE
If a device is found, the HART Communicator displays the Online menu. If no device is found,
the Communicator displays the Main menu. If no device is found, check the connections, verify
the presence of a minimum of 250 ohms load resistance in series in the loop, and retry by
selecting ‘Online.’ To poll multiple devices in the loop, refer to the HART Communicator manual.
