Applying Sealants to Conduit Entries
Please keep the following warnings and cautions in mind when you install the
IR4000S, to make sure that the equipment maintains the appropriate seals for a
Class I hazardous location.
WARNING: Each conduit run from an IR400 junction box or IR4000S housing
within a hazardous location (and from a hazardous to a non-hazardous location)
must be sealed so that gases, vapors, and/or flames cannot pass beyond the
seal. The purpose of seals in a Class I hazardous location is to prevent the
passage of gases, vapors, or flames from one electrical installation to another
through the conduit system. For information on Class I location seals, see NEC
Articles 501-5 and 500-3d.
WARNING: Unused cable entry holes must be sealed with approved explosionproof stopping plugs. Red caps supplied by General Monitors are for dust
protection only, and must not be left on the unit when installed.
9
Model IR4000S
CAUTION: Acetic acid will cause damage to metal components, metal
hardware, ceramic ICs, etc. If damage results from the use of a sealant that
contains acetic acid (RTV silicone), the warranty will be void.
To prevent corrosion due to moisture or condensation, it is recommended that
the conduit connected to the Model IR4000S housing be sealed or contain a
drain loop.
3.3 Cabling and Wiring
3.3.1 Cabling Safety Notices
CAUTION: The IR4000S contains components that can be damaged by static
electricity. Special care must be taken when wiring the system to ensure that only
the connection points are touched.
WARNING: Under NO circumstances should equipment be connected or
disconnected when under power. This is contrary to hazardous area regulations
and may also lead to serious damage to the equipment. Equipment damaged in
this manner is not covered under warranty.
WARNING: For safety, ground cabling must always be connected first, before
other cabling is connected. The 24 VDC power cabling should be connected last
(and disconnected first). Power supply connections to the IR4000S must remain
OFF until all wiring is completed and the start-up readiness checklist has been
verified. Refer to the manual for the power supply being used for instructions.
3.3.1.1 European Union (EU) Approved Cable Armor and Screens
Interconnecting cables must have an overall screen or screen and armor. Cables
BS5308 Part 2, Type 2 or equivalent are suitable. Note that the terms ‘screen’
and ‘shield’ are equivalent for the purpose of this manual. The cable armor must
be terminated in a suitable cable gland at the detector to ensure a positive
electrical connection.
3.3.1.2 Cable Termination in Non-Hazardous Areas
The cable armor must be connected to safety earth in the safe area.
The cable screen (drain wire) must be connected to an instrument earth in the
safe area.
The power supply OV return must be connected to an instrument earth in the
safe area.
The interconnecting cables should be segregated from power and other noisy
cables. Avoid proximity to cables associated with radio transmitters, welders,
switch mode power supplies, inverters, battery chargers, ignition systems,
generators, switch gear, arc lights and other high frequency or high power
switching process equipment.
In general, maintain separation of at least 1 meter between the instrument and
other cables. Greater separations are required where long parallel cable runs are
unavoidable. Avoid running instrument cable trenches close to lightning
conductor earthing pits.
10
Model IR4000S
Complete all cable insulation testing before connecting the cable at either end.
3.3.2 Wiring
Figure 6 shows the IR4000S terminal block connectors TB1, TB2 and TB3, which
hold the wiring that connects the IR4000S to the IR400 (Detector), local alarms
(Relay), and control room equipment (HOST). You must remove the cover from
the IR4000S enclosure to access these connectors. The inside of the cover
includes a label that lists the function of each connector location.
WARNING: For safety, ground cabling must always be connected first, before
other cabling is connected. The 24 VDC power cabling should be connected last
(and disconnected first). Power supply connections to the IR4000S must remain
OFF until all wiring is completed and the start-up readiness checklist has been
verified. Refer to the manual for the power supply being used for instructions.

3.4 Applying Power and Starting Operation
Once the mounting, cabling and alarm relay installation is complete, your
IR400/IR4000S detection system is ready to begin the power-on sequence.
Please review this section carefully before powering on your GM standalone
detectors or your IR400/IR4000S Monitor system.
3.4.1 Start-up Readiness Checklist
Prior to applying power to the system for the first time, check the following items
for a stand-alone IR400 detector and for an IR4000S monitor configuration.
NOTE: The +24 V wire(s) to the power supply (supplies) should be connected
after the readiness checklist is verified, to protect the system from
shorting. Since the IR400 and IR4000S are designed to monitor
continuously for hydrocarbon gas leaks, they do not have power
switches, to prevent accidental system shutdown.
1. Verify that all the signal wiring (except for +24 VDC) is installed correctly:
•
From each IR400 to a directly attached junction box, FMD or
IR4000S
•
Between IR400 junction boxes, FMDs, IR4000S’s, and control room
devices
•
From each IR4000S or FMD to Alarm relays (optional)
2. Make sure that the IR4000S and/or junction box lids are securely
installed, unless the area has been declassified.
3. Make sure to inhibit any external devices, such as Trip Amplifiers, PLC
devices or DCS systems until after the start-up sequence is completed.
4. Once you are ready to begin the start-up, verify that the power supply is
connected properly. The IR4000S and IR400 are powered by +24 VDC
(20 to 36 VDC voltage range). The IR400 optional LED will output a low
voltage fault at or below 18 VDC.
15
Model IR4000S
3.4.2 Start-up Process for an IR4000S System
NOTE: Powering on and off of the IR4000S and IR400 units is controlled from
the external power supply; refer to the power supply manual for
instructions.
If you have any problems in the start-up or testing of the detector system, please
refer to Section 6.0 “Troubleshooting” or contact General Monitors Technical
Support. The Model IR400 should be allowed to stabilize for approximately 60
minutes while each detector attains the proper operating temperature.

Upon initial power-up or after a fault condition has been corrected, the unit will
enter a start-up mode for 2 minutes before normal operation. IR400 Ethylene
start-up can take up to 10 minutes. As a unit warms up, output may briefly be
negative.
3.4.3 IR4000S Start-up Operation and Configuration Tasks
In order to make sure that the IR400 detector and IR4000S menu functions are
working correctly, you should perform several tasks immediately after the system
is powered on. This section points you to detailed instructions for completing
several start-up operation and configuration tasks using the IR4000S menu
system.
1. Zero each connected IR400. Zeroing eliminates any background gas
fluctuations.
•
For instructions, see Zeroing the IR400 in Section 4.3.
2. Perform a gas check test for each connected IR400. Verify that the IR400
is measuring a known % LEL correctly by placing it in Gas Check Mode
using the IR4000S menu options.
•
You will need to use the GM Gas Check Kit (P/N 31468) to complete this
task.

4.2 Gas Checking the IR400
You can ‘gas check’ an IR400 unit to verify response without tripping relays.
During gas check mode, the Alarm and Warn relays are disabled.
CAUTION – The analog output from the IR4000S is directly connected to the
IR400 being used and this analog output will indicate gas present when the
IR4000S is in Gas Check Mode. Make sure that any equipment monitoring the
analog output is in alarm bypass mode before performing a gas check.
To Gas Check the IR400 Unit:
4.2.1
Open the main menu. Place the magnet on the IR4000S GM logo to
access the main menu options.
4.2.2
Select Gas Check. Once the Gas Check (- - -) option appears, remove
the magnet. The % LEL display will flash. Apply gas. After gas is
removed, the IR4000S will return to normal operation and display % LEL.
4.3 Zeroing the IR400
You can ‘zero’ the IR400 detector in order to eliminate any background gas
fluctuations, using the ZrO option. During zeroing mode, the analog output for the
IR400 is kept at 1.5 mA and the Alarm and Warn relays are disabled.
To Zero the IR400 Unit:
1. Open the main menu. Place the magnet on the IR4000S GM logo to access
the main menu options.
2. Select zeroing. Once the ZrO option appears, remove the magnet. AC
(Automatic Calibration) will flash for 20 seconds. When zeroing is complete,
the display shows zero complete by displaying 0C for 10 seconds. The
IR4000S will then return to normal operation and display % LEL.
NOTE: Reapplying the magnet during the ZrO option will return the unit to
normal operation. Reapplying the magnet while 0C is displayed will start
the calibration cycle.
19
Model IR4000S
4.4 Calibrating the IR400
You can calibrate the IR400 which is connected to the IR4000S unit in order to
make sure the LEL measurements are accurate. During calibration, the IR400
analog output is 1.5 mA, in order to disable the Alarm and Warn relays.
Equipment required: Calibration cup, tubing, calibration gas tank with regulator.
To Calibrate the IR400 Detector:
1. The IR400 must be in a “no gas” condition initially; it will be zeroed as part of
calibration.
2. Open the main menu. Place the magnet on the IR4000S GM logo to move
from normal operation to the main menu options.
3. Select Automatic Calibration. Once AC appears, remove the magnet. AC
will flash, and zeroing will start. When zeroing is complete, 0C will show on
the display to confirm zero complete, then the display will change to AC.
4. Apply gas to the detector. Apply a 50% LEL gas using a Gas Check Kit
with portable purge calibrator equipment.
•
The display will show a steady “CP” (Calibration in Progress). If the gas
drops below 20% LEL, the display will revert to a flashing ”CP”.
•
In about one to two minutes, depending on gas flow, the IR400 will complete
calibrating and display “CC” (Calibration Complete).
5. Remove the gas. You will continue to see “CC” until the gas gets below 5%
of full scale. The unit will then return to normal operation.
If the calibration does not proceed normally, such as if the gas was too low or
too late in getting to the IR400, the IR400 will show a fault (F7).
20
Model IR4000S
NOTE: Once gas has been applied, it is not possible to stop calibration. If no gas
is applied for 6 minutes after calibration is selected from the IR4000S
menus, the detector automatically reverts to a fault condition. A fault also
occurs if the gas is not removed within 6 minutes from the beginning of
calibration. You must re-apply the magnet over the GM logo and
recalibrate.
If no gas has been applied, calibration can be aborted by reapplying the
magnet.
4.5 Setup
This section describes the tasks that you can accomplish using the SE (Setup)
submenu, which provides numerous configuration options. The second half of the
IR4000S menu shows the SE (Base) submenu, which provides more
configuration options.
Lo and Hi Submenus. These submenus configure the % LEL setpoint for the
Warn and Alarm relays, as well as Energized/De-energized, and Latching/NonLatching.
4.5.1 Configuring Warn and Alarm Relay Settings
The IR4000S menus allow you to configure the following Alarm and Warn relay
settings: Latching versus Non-Latching, Energized versus De-Energized, and the
% LEL setpoint.
The default Warn relay settings are Non-Latching, De-Energized, 30% LEL
setpoint.
The default Alarm relay settings are Latching, De-Energized, 60% LEL setpoint.
NOTE: The settings you select are applied to all connected, online IR400 units.
The Warn relay setpoint must be set lower than the Alarm relay setpoint;
neither the Warn nor Alarm setpoints can be higher than 60% LEL.
To Change the Warn and Alarm Relay Settings:
The steps to change the Alarm and Warn relay settings are the same.
1. Open the main menu. Place the magnet on the IR4000S GM logo to
move from normal operation to the main menu options.
2. Select SE from the main menu. Once the SE option appears, remove
the magnet to open the SE submenu.
3. Apply magnet to select Lo or Hi. The Lo submenu includes options to
configure the Warn relay settings; the Hi submenu includes identical
options to configure the Alarm relay settings.
21
Model IR4000S
4. Configure the settings for the Lo or Hi submenu. Three relay settings
will appear in turn for the Lo or Hi submenu. Once you select each
setting using the magnet, you will move to the next setting, then to
Finish.
•
The first relay setting is En or dE for energized or de-energized,
respectively. Apply and remove the magnet to select En or dE.
•
The second relay setting is La or nL for latching or non-latching,
respectively. Apply and remove the magnet to select La or nL.
•
The third relay setting is the % LEL setpoint. Available Lo setpoints
are from 5 to the Hi setpoint in 5% LEL increments. Available Hi
setpoints are from the Lo setpoint to 60% LEL. Apply and remove
the magnet to select the setting. To finish and advance to the next
option, apply the magnet when Fi (Finish) appears.
5. Return to normal operation. When Lo and Hi settings are completed,
the IR4000S will display Lo, Hi, and Fi. To return to normal operation,
apply and remove the magnet when Fi (finish) appears.
4.6 Resetting the Relays (rSt )
NOTE: If the unit was ordered without relays, changing the relay settings will still
affect the operation of the high and low LEDs on the display.
The rSt main menu option is provided to reset Warn and Alarm relays; if these
relays are configured as latching, they must be manually reset after an Alarm
occurs. The default setting for the IR4000S Warn relay is non-latching, and the
default setting for the Alarm relay is latching.
NOTE: Red indicators above and below the digital display are on when the
Alarm and Warn relays are active. Latching relays can only be reset if
the gas concentration has fallen below the respective relay setpoint.
To Reset the Relays:
1. Open the main menu. Place the magnet on the IR4000S GM logo to
move from the run display to the main menu options.
2. Select the rSt option. After a few seconds, the rSt main menu option
appears. Remove the magnet to select this option.
The message r appears briefly to confirm that the relays are being cleared.
Then the unit returns to the default normal operation.
22
Model IR4000S
Alternate Methods for Resetting the Relays
In addition to the rSt menu option, the relays can be reset by connecting a
normally open switch between the IR4000S terminal TB2-7 and TB2-8 (relay
reset and COM) momentarily using a General Monitors explosion-proof
switch (P/N 30051-1).
23
Model IR4000S
5.0 Maintenance
WARNING: Disconnect or inhibit external devices such as trip amplifiers, PLC’s,
or DCS systems before performing any maintenance.
NOTE: The system’s full two-year warranty will be voided if customer personnel
or third parties damage the system during repair attempts or
maintenance activities.
5.1 Developing a Maintenance Schedule
Maintenance requirements will vary with each installation; General Monitors
recommends that a schedule for periodic maintenance be established and
followed, and that a maintenance logbook be kept for each unit in operation.
More frequent cleaning and calibration checks are recommended if the
equipment is impacted by unusual environmental conditions such as mud
collecting on the detector windows, detectors accidentally being painted over,
etc.
General Monitors is not implying that the customer should expect problems with
detector life or stability, but calibration checks ensure the integrity of the life
protecting equipment.
5.2 Zeroing and Recalibration
For detailed instructions on initiating gas checks, zeroing and calibration using the
IR4000S menus, see Sections 4.2 - 4.4.
5.3 Lubricating Threads and Seals
If the neoprene rubber gasket (O-ring) in the cover of the IR4000S enclosure is
found dry, it should also be lubricated with the lubricant/sealant that is included
with the IR400/IR4000S units, or is available on order from General Monitors
(P/N 610-010).
As an alternative to grease, PTFE (Teflon) tape may be used.
5.4 Maintaining the X/P Integrity
The Model IR4000S is rated explosion-proof for use in hazardous locations.
Before the cover of the IR4000S is removed, or the cover bolts are loosened and
power is to be left on, it is necessary to declassify the area. When replacing the
cover, the gap between the lid and the housing should be less than .0015 inch
(.038 mm). Make sure that the flame-path is clear of dirt and debris before
replacing the cover. Tighten the cover bolts to a torque setting of 50 inch-pounds.
24
Model IR4000S
Use a feeler gauge to ensure the gap between the cover and the housing is less
than .0015 inch (.038 mm).
There are four entry holes in the IR4000S housing. These holes can be used to
attach an IR400 or IR2100 unit directly, as well as for wiring conduits to alarm
relays and control room equipment.
Each hole is tapped for ¾” NPT threads. If a particular entry hole is not used, it
must be plugged during operation in the field. The factory installs plugs in the
unused entry holes, except one. A red plastic cap is placed into the remaining
hole and must be removed before conduit can be attached to the housing.
When an IR400 Gas Detector or other device is attached to the IR4000S
housing, it must be screwed into the housing using five to seven turns to ensure
that the explosion-proof integrity of the housing is maintained.
5.5 Storage
The IR4000S Single-Point Monitor should be stored in a clean, dry area, and
within the temperature and humidity ranges noted for environmental
specifications in Section 9.2.5. Insert red dust caps into any vacant cable entry
holes.
25
Model IR4000S
6.0 Troubleshooting
CAUTION: Component level repair must be undertaken either by General
Monitors personnel, or by competent, authorized service engineers. SMT PCB
repair shall only be performed at a General Monitors facility. Failure to comply
with this requirement will invalidate the warranty.
Be sure to inhibit or disconnect the external alarm wiring before making any
check which might send the unit into alarm.
6.1 No Display on Power Up
If the display is not on after power is applied, make sure that the wiring is correct,
especially the power wires, +24V and COM. Visually verify that insulation is
above the terminal contacts. Gently pull each wire to assure adequate contact
and insertion length.
6.2 IR4000S Fault Codes and Remedies
The Model IR4000S has its own separate set of fault codes that appear on the
IR4000S 3-digit display. If the letter “b” precedes the two-digit fault code from F0FF, then this indicates a base unit fault.
bF5 – Switch Error
The IR4000S CAL/ARGC or RLY RST input is shorted to Common.
ACTION – Check system wiring.
bF6 – Low Supply Voltage
Indicates the IR4000S voltage input is at or below 18 volts.
ACTION – Check system wiring. Adjust power supply if necessary.
bF7 – Electronics Error
There is a problem with the electronics of the IR4000S.
ACTION – Return the unit to the factory for service.
bF8 – Failure to complete setup
The setup menu timed out before a proper exit.
ACTION – Enter setup and verify that all settings are correct. Select “Fi” to exit
setup.
bF9 – Gas check period exceeded
Gas check timed out.
26
Model IR4000S
ACTION – Purge the detector with clean air or nitrogen, to remove any residual
gas from the gas check. Verify that the area around the detector is clear of gas
and that all gas check sources have been shut off. When gas is no longer
present, the fault will clear.
F3 –Detector Non-Critical Fault
Indicates the IR400 or IR2100 detector requires attention such as cleaning the
windows.
ACTION – Remove the splash guard and carefully clean the detector windows as
described in the IR400 manual. Recalibrate the IR400 following the procedure
Calibrating the IR400 in Section 4.4 of this manual.
F4 – Detector Communication Fault
Indicates that the IR4000S does not detect mA input from the IR400.
ACTION – Check the wiring between the IR400 and IR4000S. The IR4000S
requires the current loop circuit is completed. This means that the input current
from the IR400 is connected to TB1 pin 1 and also the circuit is completed from
TB2 pin 1 to ground. In most installations, the control room equipment is
connected to TB2 pin 1 to complete the circuit but if the IR4000S is used
standalone then a load must be connected from TB2 pin 1 to TB1 pin 3. The load
can simply be a suitable short piece of wire.
F7 – Detector critical fault
F7 is caused by one or more of the following:
Fault F7 Cause
Action
Beam block
Inspect windows – clean them if necessary
Gas left after calibration
Remove calibration gas
Electronics failure
Return unit to factory for service
Miswiring
Inspect and correct wiring
F8 – Fail to start zero
Indicates that the IR4000S does not detect the proper mA input of 1.5 mA from
the IR400.
ACTION – Check the wiring between the IR400 and IR4000S, particularly the
connection of the IR400 CAL wire to CAL IN at TB1-2.
27
Model IR4000S
7.0 Modbus Interface
The IR4000S does not have a built in Modbus interface. The Modbus signals
from the single Modbus interface on the connected detector (either an IR400 or
IR2100) that is connected to the IR4000S is passed through the IR4000S and
made available as MOD + and MOD – on TB2. Be aware that the commands are
sent directly to the IR400 or IR2100 detector, not the IR4000S.
For details on the Modbus registers and a programming guide, a separate
Modbus manual for the IR400 is available on General Monitors’ website.
