Introduction 1
Installation Reference Manual
Section 2: Installation
2.1 Unpacking and inspection
Carefully remove all of the components from the packaging and verify them against the enclosed
packing list. Inspect all components for any obvious damage such as broken or loose parts. If you find
any components missing or damaged, notify your local Net Safety representative or the factory
immediately.
Recycling of packaging should be taken into consideration and disposed of in accordance with local and
national legislations/regulations.
2.2 Locate sensor

Prior to installing the sensor, a plan should be developed for placement of the sensor. Although there
are no absolute rules for determining the quantity of detectors or location of a sensor, the following
points should be considered when planning the installation.
 Carefully locate the sensor in an area where gases may potentially accumulate, considering that
light gases tend to rise and heavy gases tend to fall and accumulate in low areas.
 Use redundant systems to enhance protection and reliability.
 Consider air movement patterns in the facility.
 Consider the construction of the facility such as trenches where heavy gases or peaks where light
gases may accumulate.
 Seek advice from experts knowledgeable about the target gas to be detected.
 Refer to the regulatory publications that discuss guidelines for your industry.
Avoid placing the sensor where it may be exposed to splashing or direct water sprays. To protect the
sensor a splashguard may be required.
2.3 Direct mount or sensor separation

2.3.1 Sensor direct mount
The sensor can be directly attached to a Millennium II transmitter and placed in an appropriate location
for detecting the target gas, or the sensor can be separated and remotely mounted away from the
Millennium II transmitter. The sensor should be accessible for calibration and maintenance purposes.
The transmitter should be located where it is accessible and visible.
2.3.2 Sensor separation

If the sensor is to be remotely mounted from the transmitter, the sensor must be connected to a
certified junction box. In this case, the transmitter is typically located near eye-level for easy access and
the sensor is mounted where the gas is likely to accumulate.
2 Installation
Reference Manual Installation
In order to ease the calibration process a calibration cup (CCS-1) can be attached to the bottom of the
sensor housing and calibration tubing run from the calibration cup to a convenient place for applying
the calibration gas, eliminating the need to access the sensor directly. In this case, to compensate for
the effect of distance, consider decreasing the calibration tubing length to some length where the end
of the tubing to the gas canister is still accessible or increase the calibration gas flow rate between the
calibration gas cylinder and sensor. Refer to Figure 2-1 for an example of the sensor separation. For
tubing lengths less than 10 feet (3 meters), use a 0.5 LPM regulator and for lengths greater than 10 feet
(3 meters) use a 1.0 LPM regulator. On initial install, always confirm readings directly at the transmitter
by applying a known gas concentration to the sensor and compare the output from the transmitter.
Readings should be accurate to the gas concentration applied taking into account the sensor accuracy
specifications in Section 7.2.2.

2.5 Mounting
Prior to mounting the sensor to the transmitter or junction box enclosure apply suitable grease (jet
lube, etc.) to the threading of the 3/4” FNPT (female NPT) conduit entry of the enclosure as well as the
threading on the sensor 3/4” MNPT (male NPT) fitting. This aids in protecting the enclosures from
water ingress. After the grease has been applied properly, fit and tighten the sensor to the transmitter
or junction box enclosure by using appropriate tools.
The transmitter and junction box have mounting holes to allow mounting to a flat surface or pole as
desired. Mounting kit accessories are available to aid in mounting the detector to a flat surface or a
pole. Contact your local Emerson Process Management representative for detailed information.
The sensor must always be mounted vertically such that its mouth is pointed in the downward position
as shown in Figure 2-4.

2.6 Wiring
2.6.1 Field installation
Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in death or serious injury. Ensure that only
qualified personnel perform the installation.
Electrical shock could cause death or serious injury. Use extreme caution when making contact with
the leads and terminals.
Do not open the transmitter, sensor, or junction box enclosure when in a classified area or when an
explosive atmosphere may be present unless the power to the transmitter and sensor has been
removed.
Wiring codes and regulations may vary. Wiring must comply with all applicable regulations relating to
the installation of electrical equipment in a hazardous area and is the responsibility of the installer. If in
doubt, consult a qualified official before wiring the system.
When separating the sensor from the transmitter, the use of shielded cable is highly recommended to
protect against interference caused by extraneous electrical or electromagnetic noise. In applications
where the wiring is installed in conduit, the conduit must not be used for wiring to other equipment.
6 Installation
2.6.2 Sensor separation distance

The maximum separation distance between the sensor and the transmitter is limited by the resistance
of the connecting wiring, which is a function of the gauge of the wire being used. It is recommended
that sensor separation must not exceed 2000 feet (610 meters) while using 16AWG (1.31mm2) wire.
Refer to 0 for wire gauges and resistance values.
2.6.3 Installation to transmitter or junction box

The SC311 sensor is supplied with a 3/4” NPT male conduit connection and is intended to be mounted
directly to an available 3/4” NPT conduit entry on a Millennium II Transmitter or remotely using a
certified junction box. There is an available offering of certified junction boxes designed specifically to
work with this sensor. Please contact your local Emerson Process Management representative for
further information.
2.6.4 Sensor wiring
explosive atmosphere may be present unless the power to the sensor has been removed.

8 Installation
2.7 Calibration
The Net Safety SC311 sensor should be powered up for at least twenty-four (24 hours) prior to
completing the first calibration.
Calibration of the infrared sensor must be completed with the target gas for the application and the gas
the SC311 is programmed for. The calibration gas can be either air or nitrogen balanced.
Calibration of the SC311 should be completed every twelve (12) months. In environments where the
sensor may be routinely exposed to gas concentrations or airborne contaminants, the sensor should be
verified or calibrated on a more frequent basis. The SC311 sensor must be calibrated with calibration
gas at temperatures between -15°C and +45°C (+5°F and 113°F) to meet its accuracy specification.
Since external factors can affect the SC311 sensor’s ability to properly detect gas, it is highly
recommended that quarterly inspections and bump tests be completed to ensure proper operation of
the gas detection system.
If accessories are used on the SC311, calibrations must be completed with these accessories in place.
There are specific steps to be followed when calibrating with a Millennium II Transmitter. Refer to the
appropriate transmitter manual that the sensor is connected to for calibration procedures. These steps
should be followed if accurate results are to be obtained.
2.7.1 Gas curves

Infrared gas sensors need to be set up for the target gas in the particular application. The SC311 has a
number of primary gases available as shown in Table 2-2. When connected to a Millennium II
transmitter, these gas curves can be selected through the main display and need to be selected prior to
performing a calibration. For Millennium II Basic transmitters, DIP switches corresponding to the target
gas need to be set. Refer to 3.4 for more information.

Maintenance Reference Manual
Section 4: Maintenance
4.1 Cross sensitivities
Infrared sensors will react to most compounds containing a Carbon-Hydrogen bond (hydrocarbons) in
varying degrees potentially providing a response from the sensors. Other gases present within the
particular application need to be considered for their impact on this sensor. For more information,
please contact the manufacturer.
4.2 Routine inspections

The Millennium II SC311 sensor should be inspected on a routine basis to ensure that external
obstructions such as water, mud, snow, plastic bags, or other materials are not blocking the sintered
element of the sensor. If the sintered element is sprayed with water, the sintered element must be
allowed to dry to ensure specified performance.
A blocked sinter impairs sensor performance. If a sinter element is blocked, please dislodge the
material blocking the sensor to ensure sensor performance as specified.
4.3 Bump testing

As part of the site preventative maintenance program it is recommended that a bump test of the
sensor be completed every three (3) months. Bump testing consists of a visual inspection of the
sensor, applying a known gas concentration to the sensor verifying the accuracy of the response to the
specifications of the sensor, and alarm system simulation. If the response is outside of the
specifications of the sensor a calibration should be completed. Refer to 2.7 for more information. After
a calibration has been completed, it is recommended that a bump test be completed to verify accuracy
and response of the sensor.
4.4 Sensor replacement procedure

Reference Manual Electrostatic sensitive device
Section 5: Electrostatic sensitive device

Definition: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the transfer, between bodies, of an electrostatic charge
caused by direct contact or induced by an electrostatic field.
The most common cause of ESD is physical contact. Touching an object can cause a discharge of
electrostatic energy (ESD). If the charge is sufficient and occurs near electronic components, it can
damage or destroy those components. In some cases, damage is instantaneous and an immediate
malfunction occurs. However, symptoms are not always immediate—performance may be marginal or
seemingly normal for an indefinite period of time, followed by a sudden failure.
To eliminate potential ESD damage, review the following guidelines:
 Handle boards by metal shields—taking care not to touch electronic components.
 Wear grounded wrist or foot straps, ESD shoes or heel grounders to dissipate unwanted static
energy.
 Prior to handling boards, dispel any charge in your body or equipment.
 Ensure all components are transported and stored in static safe packaging
 When returning boards, carefully package in the original carton and static protective wrapping
 Ensure ALL personnel are educated and trained in ESD Control Procedures
In general, exercise accepted and proven precautions normally observed when handling electrostatic
sensitive devices. A warning label is placed on the packaging, identifying product using electrostatic
sensitive semiconductor devices.
