Features & Benefits Description

• RS-485 dual Modbus serial output in The General Monitors Model S4100C hydrocarbon gas Addressable Transmitter is
addition to 4 – 20 mA provides a highly reliable, self-contained, microprocessor-controlled monitor with integral
measurement, setup and status of 3-digit readout. It is designed to measure and display concentrations of
up to 247 nodes. combustible gases in the range 0 –100 % LEL, but will continue to display
• 10-35 VDC operation allows for longer cable concentrations up to 120 % LEL. The sensing element may be incorporated in the
runs and lower cost installation. transmitter housing or remotely mounted at distances in excess of 600 m.

• Selectable calibration gas level offers S4100C records the number of successful calibrations, computes sensor output as
non-standard gas concentration options. a percentage of the new sensor reference output during calibration and stores
information in non-volatile memory, along with calibration and setup parameters.
• Three-digit display provides up to
120 % LEL and alarm status. S4100C’s user interface is menu-driven. In addition, the instrument may
be addressed via the dual modbus RTU interface that is based on the
• Fully adjustable alarm levels with open RS-485 standard. The modbus output provides status, alarm, fault and other
collector outputs lower wiring costs and information for operation, troubleshooting or configuration of the unit. Calibration
offer flexible operation. level, A1 and A2 Alarm Trip levels are user selectable. Calibration from 25 %
to 90 % LEL in 1 % LEL increments and A1 and A2 Alarms from 10% to 60 % in
1 % increments.
Calibration may be completed in fewer than two minutes. All parameters are tested
by advanced software routines before being accepted.
