INTRODUCTION
The Siemens Water Technologies Series 50-130 Acutec 35 Gas Detection system is an on-line monitoring system for the detection of chlorine
(Cl2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), or ammonia (NH3) gas in ambient air. Alarm
contacts are provided to transfer at user selectable setpoints. Monitor
modules provide a digital readout of gas level and a 4-20 mA output.
Single or Dual Units are available, using any combination of gas detectors and monitors or alarm units.
One Receiver Module is connected to each gas Sensor/Transmitter with a
two-conductor cable, and provides information on the gas concentration
in the sensor area. Receivers are powered by the Power Supply Module
supplied with the Gas Detector system.
The Series 50-130 Sensor/Transmitter consists of an electrochemical gas
sensor and an electronic amplifier that transmits a gas concentration
signal to a Receiver Module located in the Control Unit. An optional gas
generator may be ordered which enables the Receiver to automatically
test the sensor every 24 hours.
NOTE: When ordering material always specify model and serial number of apparatus.

1.2
Interferences
Electrochemical sensors are, by nature, not 100% selective; therefore,
they can exhibit response to other gases present in ambient air.
The following tables list the possible interferences that may occur when
using the different gas sensors. The tables indicate the relative response
of the sensor to 1 ppm of the listed gas, expressed in terms of relative
ppm signal. For example: exposure of a chlorine sensor to a gas sample
containing 1 ppm of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) would produce a signal equal
to 0.4 ppm of chlorine. A negative sign (-) indicates an interference that
can cause low gas measurements if there is a mixture of the measured
gas and another gas.

Overview
The Series 50-130 Gas Detection System consists of modular components that can be used in a variety of configurations to fit specific
application requirements. Following is a brief description of the
major system components. More detailed information follows later
in this manual.
SENSOR/TRANSMITTER: Consists of an electrochemical gas sensor connected to a NEMA 4X transmitter, which sends a signal to a Receiver
Module.
NOTE: The Auto-Test option is for indoor use only, and should only
be used with detectors set to the standard range or lower, as shown
in Section 1.1 Technical Data. If used with higher ranges, the generator may not produce enough gas to test the sensor.
WT.050.130.000.UA.IM.1108
BATTERY BACK-UP: The Battery Back-up option for gas detection systems consists of a separate wall-mounted enclosure which houses a
battery and a control circuit board. The battery is a sealed, lead-acid
type and is rated four ampere-hours.
ACUTEC 35 SYSTEM
2.2
General Installation
NOTE: Power supply or Receiver modules may be shipped with protective transparent plastic covers. These covers should be peeled
off and discarded.
System enclosures, Battery Back-up units, and Sensor/Transmitters are
all designed for surface mounting using screws or bolts inserted through
the recessed mounting holes at each corner of the enclosures. Mounting
hole dimensions are shown on the appropriate diagram. Included with
each system enclosure are mounting hole templates which can be used
to mark hole centers on walls or mounting panels. Mounting recesses
are suitable for #8 machine screws or wood screws.
Refer to paragraph 3.4.1, Sensor Installation, for specific information on
locating gas sensors.
Enclosures are supplied with conduit hubs and seal rings for water-tight
connection of 1/2 NPT threaded conduit. Plastic cable glands may also
be purchased to connect cables without conduit.
Install the 1/2 conduit hubs in any enclosure knockout labeled PG16.
Note that some knockouts have more than one designation, such as
PG11/16. Those with two designations will have concentric circles
for knockouts. The inner circle marks the lower PG number while the
outer circle marks the higher number. Place a thin bladed screwdriver
into the circular slot or the desired knockout size and tap firmly with a
hammer (see Figure 2.1). Place the seal over the hub threads on the
outside of the enclosure and attach the hub with the supplied nut.

The Gas Detector is factory set to alarm when gas concentrations above
the chosen setpoints are exceeded; however, if switch A1 is set to the
ON position, alarms will be initiated when gas concentration is below
the setpoint.
3.2.4
Relay Configuration
WT.050.130.000.UA.IM.1108
EXTERNAL HORN RELAY Relay 3 provides an additional configuration option not available on relays 1 or 2. Switch C5 allows Relay 3 to
be configured for use in activating an external audible horn. When
switch C5 is on, any external horn tied to Relay 3 will sound intermittently when the warning setpoint is exceeded and will go to steady-on
when the alarm setpoint is exceeded. The relay will de-activate when
24
ACUTEC 35 SYSTEM
the push-button switch is pressed or when the remote reset terminals
are connected, silencing the external horn.
3.2.5
Alarm Delay
A time delay precedes the activation of alarm relays to eliminate false
alarms due to electrical transients. The delay is factory set to two seconds,
but can be changed to 10 seconds with switch B1. The delay time affects
both the alarm indicator lamps and the associated relays.

The receiver module is shipped from the factory with the Auto-Test option disabled. If the Autotest Gas Generator (optional) is installed on the
system, the receiver module cover must be removed and the autotest
switch (D1) must be moved to the on position.
NOTE: The Auto-Test option is for indoor use only, and should only
be used with detectors set to the standard range or lower, as listed
in Section 1.1 Technical Data. If used with higher ranges, the generator may not produce enough gas to test the sensor.

ACUTEC 35 SYSTEM
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that sensors be powered overnight
upon initial startup before adjustments are made and before connections are made to alarm relays. Sensors which are powered for
the first time may remain in an alarm state beyond the five minute
inhibit period and may take several hours to fully stabilize.

Auto-Test Function
NOTE: The Auto-Test option is for indoor use only, and should only
be used with detectors set to the standard range or lower, as listed
in Section 1.1 Technical Data. If used with higher ranges, the generator may not produce enough gas to test the sensor.
The optional Auto-Test feature verifies the proper operation of gas detection systems automatically. It is enabled when configuration switch D1
is in the on position. Auto-Test uses an electrochemical Gas Generator
attached to the gas sensor and controlled from the receiver. Every 24
WT.050.130.000.UA.IM.1108
26
ACUTEC 35 SYSTEM
hours, the microcomputer in the receiver activates the Gas Generator
and monitors the output of the gas sensor.
During the time when an Auto-Test is in progress, the alarm relays are
inhibited. This is indicated by the warning and alarm indicators alternately
flashing. Typically, an auto-test will last only a few seconds. After completion of the test the alarm response will be delayed to allow gas to clear
from the sensor/generator and for the sensor to recover. The system will
be fully inhibited for two minutes, followed by an eight minute period
during which the detector will respond only to gas levels of greater than
50% of full scale.
When the Auto-Test is activated, the generator will turn on for a maximum
of five minutes. If no sensor response is detected during this time, the
generator will turn off and the receiver will wait for 15 minutes before
initiating another Auto-Test. If it fails this second test, a Sensor Trouble
Alarm will be initiated, as described earlier. The Receiver will auto-test
two more times at one hour intervals. If the sensor passes either of these
tests, the Sensor Trouble Alarm will reset.
3.3.4
3.3.5
Relay Inhibit
Alarm relays in the Receiver can be inhibited for up to four hours to allow
calibration or testing of Sensor/Transmitters without activating external
alarm or control devices.
To initiate the inhibit mode, with the Receiver in the normal mode, press
and hold the push-button for approximately five seconds. The lamp test
will occur first, but continue to hold the button down. Once the lamps have
shut off, release the button. The warning and alarm lamps will begin to
flash alternately for a few seconds. If the Auto-Test configuration switch is
in the on position and the push-button is not pressed, the Sensor trouble
lamp will flash after the Alarm/Warning lamps have stopped flashing. If
no action is taken, the Receiver will return to the normal mode.
If the push-button is pressed and released while the warning and alarm
lamps are in alternating flash, the Receiver will go into the relay inhibit
mode. The warning and alarm lamps will continue their alternating rapid
flash, and the Receiver will remain in inhibit for four hours or until the
button is pressed again. During this period, the display will indicate gas
concentration, and the 4-20 mA output will be held at the level it was at
WT.050.130.000.UA.IM.1108
27
ACUTEC 35 SYSTEM
before inhibit was initiated, but the relays will not activate. Transmitters
may be calibrated while the inhibit is on without setting off external
alarms.
When the receiver is in inhibit, the display reads the actual signal down
to 0 ppm, and will read negative if the sensor is out of calibration. Normally, the microcomputer sets the display to zero when the signal is less
than two percent of full scale, to avoid false readings due to drift and
environmental conditions. Because relays are inhibited and the display
blanking is bypassed, the inhibit mode is convenient for calibrating the
Sensor/Transmitter.
3.3.6
Manual Auto-Test
Gas detection systems purchased with the optional Autotest Generator
may be tested by manual activation of the Generator from the receiver
module. This function will operate only if the Auto-Test configuration
switch D1 is on. To manually start the Auto-Test function, with the Receiver in the normal mode, follow the sequence described in paragraph
3.3.5, Relay Inhibit, but press the push-button when the Sensor trouble
lamp is flashing. The horn will sound a quick beep and the green gas
indicator will begin to flash, indicating that the generator is running. The
system will go through a normal Auto-Test sequence, exactly the same
as the sequence used every 24 hours. The display will show increasing
gas values as the sensor begins to respond. When the microcomputer
identifies a successful test, the horn will sound one beep. The relay inhibit
indication will remain on until the sensor has had time to recover.
If the test fails, a Sensor trouble response will be initiated. Pressing the
push-button will silence the horn, but the Sensor trouble contact and
light will remain latched on, and cannot be reset until after a 10-minute
period. The Sensor/Transmitter should be checked. Either the Sensor or
Generator has failed, or something is physically blocking the path between the two. Methods for testing individual gas sensors can be found
in Section 4 Service.
3.3.7
Remote Reset
Receivers are provided with input terminals for connection of a remote
reset switch. The remote reset input provides horn silence and alarm reset
functions using a switch located at any remote point. When receivers are
located at sites with telemetry equipment, the remote reset input may
be connected to a relay contact in the telemetry system.
The remote reset input accomplishes the same acknowledge and reset
functions as the push-button on the front panel. When a switch closure
is detected across the remote reset terminals, the detector horn will silence and any latching relays will reset, provided that the gas condition
WT.050.130.000.UA.IM.1108
28
ACUTEC 35 SYSTEM
has cleared. The remote reset input will not activate any of the testing
or inhibit functions of the receiver.
3.3.8
Analog Output
Monitor Receivers provide an isolated 4-20 mA output signal for interface
with recorders, data loggers, or computer systems. The span of the 4-20
mA signal is the same as the range of the receiver selected during the
receiver configuration. The output will drive loads of 0 to 1000 ohms.
3.4
Sensor/Transmitter Operation
Gas sensors are attached directly to transmitter boxes with a water-tight
seal. A short sensor cable plugs into the transmitter circuit board. The
optional Gas Generator is attached to the sensor and connects to a terminal block on the circuit board.
The Receiver provides power to the Sensor/Transmitter through a twoconductor cable, which is also used to transmit the signal back to the
Receiver. The Sensor/Transmitter may not be used with a separate power
source.

Sensor Service
General Sensor Response Test
Gas sensors should be checked regularly for proper response. For systems
not equipped with Auto-Test, at least monthly manual sensor response
testing is recommended.
The sensor response test described below should also be used if the AutoTest system detects a sensing failure and lights the Sensor trouble lamp.
If the sensor responds to manually applied gas but not to the Autotest
Generator, replace the generator.
The sensor response test will activate alarm relays unless they are inhibited as described in paragraph 3.3.5, Relay Inhibit. Sensor response to
the test gas may be observed by: viewing the digital display on Monitor
Receivers, by monitoring the voltage at the test points in the transmitter,
by viewing the Warning and Alarm lights on the Receiver, or by observing
the operation of alarm relays in the receiver.

Prior to calibration, remove the cover from the Sensor/Transmitter enclosure and connect a DVM to the test points as shown in Figure 4.1. The
test points will provide a 0-1.00 Vdc signal proportional to transmitter
range. For example, a range of 0 to 10 ppm, 0 ppm is 0.00 volts and 10.0
ppm is 1.00 volts.
4.5.1

37
ACUTEC 35 SYSTEM
Connect the DVM to the transmitter test points. Adjust the span potentiometer until a stable voltage reading is obtained according to the
following equation:
V = Span Gas Concentration Transmitter Range
As an example, if the calibration gas is 3 ppm and the Sensor/Transmitter
range is 0 to 5 ppm, the voltage should be adjusted to 3 5 = 0.6V.
If the receiver was placed in the inhibit mode prior to calibration, press
the pushbutton switch on the receiver to return the system to normal
operation.

Troubleshooting
Trouble
Receiver LEDs and indicators do
not light when power is applied
to the system.
WT.050.130.000.UA.IM.1108
Remedy
1. Check the fuse. If the fuse is blown, replace the fuse. If
not, go to step 2.
2. Check wiring from the Power Supply Module to the
Receiver Module (see Dwgs. 50.130.130.001 and
50.130.130.002). Be sure polarity is correct. If wiring is
correct, go to step 3.
3. With a voltmeter, check the power supply at the +12
terminal (positive) and C terminal (negative) on the Receiver. If the reading is between 13.6 to 13.9 Vdc, replace
the Receiver. If the voltage is above 13.9 V, go to step 5. If
the voltage is below 13.6 V, go to step 4.
4. Measure the ac input voltage at the Power Supply Module. If the voltage is not within the rated range (see
Section 1.1 - Technical Data), check ac supply. If the voltage is within the rated range, replace the Power Supply
Module.
5. If the voltage measured in step 3 is above 13.9 V, connect
another Receiver Module or a resistive load of approximately 100 ohm and 2 watts to the Power Supply output
terminals. If the voltage drops to within 13.6 - 13.9 V,
replace the Receiver. If not, replace the Power Supply
Module.
1. Disconnect the Transmitter connections at the two TR
terminals of the Receiver. Check the voltage on the terminals with a voltmeter. The voltage should be approximately 12 Vdc. If this voltage is not present, replace the
Receiver Module. If it is measured, go to step 2.
2. Connect a milliamp meter between the two TR terminals
of the Receiver. The current should be 15 to 25 mA. If this
current is not measured, replace the Receiver Module. If
it is measured, refer to the Sensor/Transmitter paragraphs
in this Section.
