DETECTOR OUTPUT
U9500 Infiniti Transmitter
The non-isolated 0–20 mA dc drive circuitry is rated at a
maximum 600 ohms loop resistance with 24 Vdc supply
voltage.
The U9500B Infiniti® transmitter is a single channel
device. In addition to the standard 0-20 mA analog signal
output, the U9500B offers four optional relay outputs for
fault and alarm indications. The four outputs are: fault,
high alarm, low alarm, and auxiliary alarm. The relays
have form C (SPDT) contacts. The alarm relay contacts
are selectable as a group for latching or non-latching.
During normal operation, the fault relay is non‑latching,
but for initialization faults, the fault relay latches. The
alarm relays are also selectable, as a group, for normally
energized or de-energized (no alarms). The fault relay is
always normally energized (no fault). Refer to the Infiniti
Transmitter instruction manual for complete information
regarding the transmitter.
DET-TRONICS OPTIONAL JUNCTION BOXES
When not connected directly to a transmitter/control
device, the NTMOS Gas Detector can be connected
to a Gas Detector Termination Box (GDTB) Termination
Box. The GDTB contains a circuit board with the required
connectors for proper field wiring, as well as an internal
magnetic switch for non-intrusive detector calibration
and an LED to indicate calibration status. Refer to the
GDTB instruction manual, number 95-8644, for complete
information regarding the GDTB.
DET-TRONICS DISPLAYS/TRANSMITTERS
INSTALLATION
The NTMOS Gas Detector integrates easily with the
following Det-Tronics transmitters:
CAUTION
The wiring procedures in this manual are intended
to ensure proper functioning of the device 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 applicable regulations that relate to the
installation of electrical equipment in a hazardous
area. If in doubt, consult the authority having
jurisdiction before wiring the system.
FlexVu Model UD10
The FlexVu UD10 Display Unit provides the approved
function of a low concentration gas controller for the
NTMOS Detector. The UD10 is designed and approved
as a stand-alone controller when connected to a certified
gas detector, such as the NTMOS, and performs all the
functions of a gas controller.
Gas concentrations are displayed on an alphanumeric
display in PPM. The UD10 provides a linear isolated/
non-isolated 0–20 mA DC output signal (with HART)
that corresponds to the detected gas concentration or
indicates a fault condition.
IMPORTANT
Considering that H2S is heavier than air, and in
order to maintain IP66/IP67 Ingress Protection
rating, the detector must be mounted vertically at a
maximum height of 18 inches from surfaces below.
All electronics are enclosed in an explosion-proof
aluminum or stainless steel housing. The display unit is
used with a single detector that may be either coupled
directly to the UD10, or remotely located using a Sensor
Termination Box model STB or GDTB.
NOTE
The NTMOS Detector shall be connected to a
performance certified low concentration gas
controller, with latching alarms.
The UD10 features non-intrusive calibration. A magnet
is used to perform calibration as well as to navigate the
internal configuration menu. Refer to the UD10 instruction
manual for complete information regarding the FlexVu
UD10 Display Unit.
2.2
CAUTION
Exposing the NTMOS Detector to silicones will
dramatically reduce its sensor response and
sensor life, and must be avoided.

95-8670
DETECTOR POSITIONING
Proper detector location is essential for providing
maximum protection. The most effective number
and placement of detectors varies depending on the
conditions at the job site. The individual designing
the installation must rely on experience and common
sense to determine the number of detectors needed
and the best locations to adequately protect the area.
The following factors are important and should be
considered for every installation:
CORRECT
INCORRECT
Figure 1—Recommended Orientation of NTMOS Detector (with UD10)
1. Since hydrogen sulfide is a highly toxic gas, a
primary consideration in determining optimum
detector locations is to identify where the most
likely release point of the hazard is located. Use
local or recommended practices to identify these
locations.
WIRING REQUIREMENTS
The maximum allowable distance between the NTMOS
Detector and transmitter/control device is limited by the
resistance of the cabling used. To ensure proper operation,
a minimum of 18 Vdc is required at the detector.
2. Factors such as vapor density should also be
considered when determining detector locations.
Hydrogen sulfide is slightly heavier than clean air,
and therefore may tend to settle near the floor or
ground, unless it is heated, mixed with other gases
that are lighter than air, or prevented from doing so
by ambient air movement patterns.
When mounted remotely from the transmitter/controller,
shielded cable or dedicated conduit is required for wiring
the detector. Ground the shield at the transmitter/controller
end only.
3. How rapidly will the H2S gas diffuse into the air?
Select a location for the detector as close as practical
to an anticipated leak source. As gas disperses it
becomes difficult to detect as it is diluted.
In applications where the detector cable is installed
in conduit, the conduit should not be used for wiring to
other electrical equipment whenever possible. If other
equipment power wiring is run in the same conduit, the
detector cabling must be shielded.
4. Detectors should be placed where the most
concentrated accumulation of hydrogen sulfide
gas is anticipated. Also consider the fact that some
ventilation systems do not operate continuously,
and therefore areas with poor circulation should be
evaluated for toxic gas accumulation.
If an additional signal conditioning or relay output
transmitter is being used along with the NTMOS Detector,
refer to the specific transmitter manual for detailed wiring
instructions.
5. The detector must always be installed pointing
straight down (see Figure 1).
It is important that moisture not be allowed to come in
contact with the electrical connections of the system.
6. The detector must be accessible for testing and
calibration. Allow adequate space for attaching
the NTMOS approved H2S calibration device.
See Specifications section of this manual for
dimensions.
Use proper piping techniques, breathers, glands, and
seals as required to prevent water ingress and/or maintain
explosion-proof ratings.
7. Exposure to excessive heat or vibration can cause
premature failure of electronic devices, and should
be avoided if possible. Shielding the device from
intense sunlight will reduce solar heating. For details
regarding the operating and storage temperatures of
the NTMOS Detector, refer to “Temperature Range”
in the Specifications section.

INSTALLATION AND WIRING
1. Determine the best mounting locations for the
detector. Mount the detector with the sensing element
pointing down (18 inches from surfaces below).
The junction box (GDTB or transmitter housing) is
intended for flat-surface mounting, such as on a
wall or post. A spacer or stand-off (1/4 to 1/2 inch)
may be needed to allow adequate clearance for
the detector and calibration cup. The junction box
should be electrically connected to earth ground.

STARTUP PROCEDURE
CALIBRATION
FREQUENCY OF CALIBRATION
WARNING
Ensure that any output loads actuated by
the detection system are bypassed to prevent
accidental or unnecessary activation of these
devices.
The calibration frequency required in different
applications can vary depending upon the amount of
background gas, concentration of H2S, and ambient
environmental conditions.
Calibration must be performed:
— When a new system is initially put into service.
— When the detector is replaced.
— If a transmitter, controller or other device used in
conjunction with the NTMOS Detector is replaced.
1. Apply power to the system.
2. Remove the (red) protective cap and desiccant bag
from the detector.
NOTE
Tra n s m i tte rs a n d d i s p l ay / c o n t ro l d ev i c e s
typically have a “warm-up” period to allow the
detector to stabilize before beginning normal
operation (the NTMOS Detector can remain
in warm-up for up to 30 minutes). After long
periods without power, the detector output may
still not have returned to zero ppm by the end
of the warm-up period. In some cases, an alarm
level of H2S may be indicated. Keep all output
loads that are actuated by the system in bypass
until all alarms clear.
The following calibration/bump test schedule is
recommended to ensure reliable operation in most
applications:
1.
2.
3.
4.
24 hours after initial power-up (initial calibration)
30 days after initial calibration
60 days after initial calibration
90 days after initial calibration
If all recommended calibration/bump tests are within
the acceptable limits, the tests can be performed
at (maximum) 90-day intervals thereafter. If large
adjustments occur (greater than 10%), calibration
intervals should be reduced.
3. Allow the detector to operate for 16 to 24 hours
prior to an initial calibration, then perform the
“Calibration Procedure" as described in the following
section. It may be necessary to refer to other
transmitter and/or controller manuals to complete
calibration.
CALIBRATION GAS
The NTMOS H2S detector must be calibrated using the
humidification tube with bottled H2S in air (Figure 6), or
with the ampoule calibration kit.
4. Complete any additional startup/commissioning
requirements as described in the manual provided
with the transmitter/control device.
5. Place the system in normal operation.

IMPORTANT CALIBRATION NOTES
Calibrating a Stand-Alone NTMOS Detector
• Proper calibration requires the use of either
D e t - Tro n i c s’ N T M O S ca l i b ra t i o n k i t w i t h
humidification tube and bottled H 2 S in air
(p/n 010272-001), or the ampoule calibration
kit (p/n 007098-005).
1. A dc current meter capable of measuring 0–20 mA
must be connected to the current loop output. This
can be accomplished by connecting a dc ammeter
in series with the load or by connecting a digital
dc voltmeter across a known load resistance and
calculating the current flow using the formula:
current (I) = voltage/load resistance.
• When calibrating with bottled H 2S in air, the
humidification tube must be utilized, or inaccurate
readings will occur.
2. If the detector is powered-up after a shutdown,
it must be allowed to warm-up for a period of 16
hours prior to calibration. (Before calibrating a new
detector, allow a 24 hour warm-up period after initial
power-up).
• WARNING: Using a gas mixture other than
50% span of H2S in air will produce inaccurate
calibration results, possibly resulting in a
dangerous condition if the detector under-reports
the level of H2S. Do not use bottled H2S with
nitrogen.
3. Initiate calibration by activating the calibration line.
4. The current output goes to 2.2 mA while the detector
automatically calibrates the zero output.
• Prevent all contact of any oil based material from
the humidification tube.
5. When the current output goes to 2.0 mA, apply 50%
span of H2S gas in air to the detector using the
humidification tube kit or the ampoule calibration
kit. When using the humidification tube it must be
attached to the detector via a cal cup before applying
gas, and ensure that the flow rate is set to 0.5 liters/
min.
If background H2S gas is present, it may be necessary
to purge the detector with clean air to ensure that an
accurate zero or “clean air” condition is present prior to
initiating calibration.
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
6. Upon successful calibration, the current output will
go to 1.8 mA. Remove the calibration gas. The output
will go to 4 mA. Reference Table 2 for the calibration
sequence.
The NTMOS Detector requires zero and span
calibration, achievable with the NTMOS calibration kit
or the ampoule calibration kit. It is highly recommended
that the FlexVu UD10 Display Unit, GDTB Termination
Box, or Model U9500B Transmitter be utilized with the
NTMOS Detector to enable non-intrusive field calibration.
When using the UD10 or U9500B for calibration, refer to
the related manual for specific calibration instructions.

date, verify that the calibration gas used is H2S
in air, or replace the detector and repeat the
calibration. Be certain that the humidification tube
is used during calibration.

95-8670
MAINTENANCE
The NTMOS H2S Detector must be “functional tested”
using only Det-Tronics’ humidification tube kit or
the ampoule kit. All ampoule functional tests must
be performed using the Det‑Tronics H2S Mixer with
thumb screw ampoule breaker and internal mixing
fan (p/n 007067-001). When using either method to
perform a bump test do not use bottled H 2S with
nitrogen. When performing calibrations, validate the
expiration date of the gas cylinder.
The NTMOS Detector is an industrial-grade device,
suitable for a wide variety of challenging environmental
conditions. However, a routine maintenance schedule
is recommended to ensure that the detector is in
peak operating condition at all times. To ensure top
performance, service the device as follows.
VISUAL INSPECTION
DETECTOR REPLACEMENT
A visual inspection is recommended to ensure that
physical obstructions such as trash, debris, mud, snow,
or oil have not blocked or impeded hazardous gas access
to the detector. The frequency of a visual inspection is
determined by the application and environment.
The NTMOS Detector is not repairable. If calibration can
no longer be properly performed, the detector must be
replaced.
The area must be de-classified and power to the detector
should be removed prior to replacing the detector in a
hazardous area.
NOTE
If the device cannot be calibrated or responds
slowly to the calibration gas, check the condition
of the hydrophobic filter and the sensing element
before replacing the detector.
Follow the procedure below to replace the detector.
1. Remove power to the transmitter or controller prior to
replacing the detector.
FUNCTIONAL (BUMP) TEST
It is acceptable to perform a functional (bump)
verification test in place of a complete calibration if the
detector output in clean air appears stable and has been
calibrated recently.
2. Remove the transmitter/termination box cover.
3. Disconnect the detector wiring, then unscrew it from
the conduit entry.
4. Thread the wires for the replacement detector
through the conduit entry and screw the detector into
the conduit entry. Connect the detector wires to the
appropriate terminals.
This test involves applying calibration gas to the
detector while in normal operating mode and
confirming correct detector response. Proper
calibration requires the use of either Det-Tronics’
NTMOS calibration kit with humidification tube and
bottled H2S in air (p/n 010272-001), or the ampoule
calibration kit (p/n 007098-005). It is the operator’s
responsibility to bypass any and all system alarm
output devices, if necessary, prior to conducting the
bump test. If the bump test results are not acceptable,
then a complete calibration must be performed.
2.2
5. Replace the junction box cover.
6. Re-apply power. Refer to the “Startup Procedure” of
this manual.
An adequate supply of spare detectors should be kept
on hand for field replacement. For maximum protection
against contamination and deterioration, they should not
be removed from the original protective packaging until
the time of installation. To ensure maximum storage life,
detectors should be stored in their original packaging,
or if the bag has been opened, with the plastic cap
and desiccant capsule in place. Always calibrate after
replacing the detector.
8
95-8670
FILTER REPLACEMENT
IMPORTANT
A hydrophobic filter must be installed to maintain
the IP66/IP67 Ingress Protection rating. If a filter is
not installed, the detector assumes an IP53 rating.
INCORRECT
CORRECT
The hydrophobic filter provides protection against the
ingress of dust and water, while permitting free flow
of gas to the H2S sensor. The filter assembly is field
replaceable. Use the following procedure to replace
the filter if it is determined damaged or contaminated
after a visual inspection, or a failed bump test.
Figure 7—Hydrophobic Filter Placement
4. Inspect the O-ring that seals the filter assembly to
the housing and also the O-ring that seals the filter
assembly to the impact guard. Make sure that the
O-rings are clean, properly seated and in good
condition. Replace the O-rings (p/n 011364-001) if
they are damaged.
Speed of response will be impeded by the presence of
heavy levels of contamination on the filter, so periodic
inspection is necessary. If the filter is wet, simply let it
dry to restore peak performance. Dry dust can usually be
blown off the filter, but if the filter is contaminated with oil
and dirt, replacement is necessary.
5. Install the replacement filter in the impact guard so
that the reinforcing ribs are facing toward the sensing
element, as illustrated in Figure 7.
1. Loosen the set-screw that retains the impact guard
with a 1/16” Allen wrench (see Figure 8).
6. Install the impact guard on the NTMOS Detector, by
rotating it clockwise until firmly tight. Use care when
tightening the setscrew to prevent damage to the
threads on the impact guard.
2. Loosen the impact guard by rotating it counter
clock-wise.
3. Remove the filter assembly.
See the “Ordering Information” section of this manual for
replacement parts and accessories.
