 INSTALLATION
The A.C. power should be wired into the GD-1000 (TB5) by a qualified electrician. This is
not covered by Eagle Microsystems, Inc. or its distributors.

The GD-1000 gas sensor can be separated from the GD-1000 meter 1000ft or more if the
appropriate cable is used. The resistance of the cable should be less than 200 ohms total (both
wires).

QUICK START INSTALLATION

• Mount the GD-1000 meter at eye level. Mount the sensor(s)

12” off the floor. The GD-1000 is provided with 12’ of cable each
sensor.
• Wire the cable from the GD-1000 to the sensor (see below).
• Sensor 1 wiring:
• Clear/white connects to TB3-1 (24V SRC)
• Black connects to TB3-2 (PV1+)
• Sensor 2 wiring:
• Clear/white connects to TB3-1 (24V SRC). This is the same as sensor one.
• Black connects to TB3-4 (PV2+)
• Install the NiMH 9V batteries if supplied. Do not substitute the battery with alkaline,
lithium, carbon-zinc, etc types. Only use the 8.4V NiMH battery type supplied. NiCd types
are not recommended, either.
• Select the appropriate supply voltage (115V/230V) by S1 (upper left of PS-1000S-CPU).
• A qualified electrician should wire the AC power to the GD-1000, see TB5 above.
• The red LED on each sensor box will illuminate if the sensors are wired properly and
when the meter is powered by the mains or battery.
• Remove the calibration plug on each sensor and store it in a safe place. One can store it
inside the GD-1000 or sensor enclosure.
• After proper installation and a calibration verification, the monitor is ready to operate.

DUAL SENSORS (TB3) SINGLE SENSOR

 MAIN SCREEN

After the sign-on screens show the company name, firmware version, check-sum, and the time and date, the
stabilize delay timer is displayed (see left display above). Alarms associated with the gas sensors are inhibited,
which are loss of signal and set point alarms (danger and critical). One can exit this screen by pressing ESC. The
stabilization delay timer will continue counting down, which is indicated on the main screen display. “DLY” is briefly
displayed on the left side of the screen. During the stabilize delay timer count down, any gas concentration values
displayed are not considered valid. The 4-20mA analog outputs are held to 4mA.

After the stabilization delay timer has expired, the main screen is displayed. The gas type, channel number, gas
concentration, and units are displayed. If only one gas sensor is active, the bottom line displays a bar graph scaled
to the 4-20mA PO1 output level. Press any one of the four push-buttons to display the MAIN MENU. The alarm
status for each channel is indicated by flashing DGR (danger) or CRT (critical) on the left side of the display (see
right display image above).

Note: The alarm will sound only when the main screen is displayed is so it will not activate during calibration, alarm
set point adjustments, etc. This is the reason many screens will time out and return to a previous screen until the
main screen is again displayed. The danger and critical set point outputs will remain active regardless of the screen
that is displayed with one exception: All sensor alarms are deactivated during calibration (i.e., when one is
accessing one of the calibration screens or menus). The 4-20mA outputs are forced to 4mA during the sensor
calibration.

Decimal point selections are 0, 0.0, 0.00, & 0.000. Default is 30.0 (ppm)

Parameter: CH1 AVG

Set the display update rate in seconds for channel one. Higher values yield a more stable display.
The selections are 0.2s, 0.5s, 1s, 2s, 3s, 5s, 8s, or 10s. Default is 1s.

Parameter: PO1 FS
Set the amount of gas that represents a 20mA analog output signal for channel one.
The analog output always sends a 4mA (or 0mA) signal for a zero gas level.
The adjustment range is 10 to 5000 graduations (not including decimal point). Default is 30.0 in ppm.

Parameter: CH2 EN
This parameter enables gas channel two.
Set to YES if the monitor is a two-channel unit or NO if only one sensor is connected to the monitor.
If channel two is not used, all channel two configuration parameters and alarm set points will be hidden. However,
the channel two sensor and 4-20mA (PO2) calibration will still be accessible for factory calibration. Default is ON.

Note: Channel two parameters CH2 GAS, CH2 MAX, CH2 AVG, and PO2 FS have the same function as channel one.

The internal buzzer and external horn (if enabled) are activated by the following events:
• Channel 1 & 2 danger/critical alarms
• Channel 1 & 2 signal loss
• Battery missing, short and low alarms (if enabled).

Parameter: TMP BZR OFF (internal horn/buzzer)

This parameter temporarily silences the internal 103dB beeper (set to YES). It is typically used during field
installation and testing. When the user returns to the main screen and after one hour, the internal beeper is no
longer silenced. Any alarms that occur during the time this parameter is enabled (YES) are automatically silenced.

Parameter: HORN RLY (external horn)

This parameter assigns a relay to a remote horn device. The horn relay output operates exactly the same as the
internal horn and both can be enabled at the same time.

The default relay is OFF.

Parameter: FAIL RLY

The failure relay is activated for any condition that is regarded as a hardware problem.
• loss of signal for channel one and/or channel two
• Battery missing or short (Note: A low battery is not a failure condition.)

This alarm will not activate the horn output or the auto-dialer output unless the relay selected matches the relay
assignments for those other functions.

Choices are K1, K2, K3, K4, K5, K6, and OFF. The relay can be shared with any other alarm.
The default relay is K6.

Parameter: FAIL DLY

Parameter: A-DIAL RLY

The auto-dialer relay output is energized after an adjustable delay (A-DIAL DL) when a channel’s danger or critical
set point has been met or exceeded. A failure condition does not activate the auto-dialer output (see parameter
FAIL RLY for more information). Set the failure relay to the same relay as “A-DIAL RLY” if the site should auto-dial
for all failure conditions.

Choices are K1, K2, K3, K4, K5, K6, and OFF. The relay can be shared with any other alarm.
The default relay is K6.
 CONFIGURATION (continued)

Parameter: A-DIAL DL
This parameter sets the auto-dialer activation delay to avoid false alarms. This delay is added to the set point delay
(SP DLY) time.

The range is from zero (0) to 3600 seconds. The default is ten seconds (10s).

Parameter: BATTERY OPT

This parameter controls the optional battery backup options.

If N/C, the relay is normally closed when there are no fault conditions.

Parameter: LATCH ACK

If set to ON, the audible alarms (internal beeper and external horn) are not automatically cleared when the alarm
condition no longer exists (e.g., danger or critical alarm).
Press ACK on-screen or temporarily activate IN1 via an external push button to silence the alarm.

Parameter: POx MODE

This parameter sets the analog outputs (POx) signal range.
“0-20mA” Allows one to use a 500 ohm resistor to produce a 0-10V signal for some data loggers.
“4-20mA” Standard 4-20mA signal compatible with most if not all site installationsL Default setting.

Parameter: BAUD RATE

This parameter sets the RS-232 and RS-485 baud rate. The serial port is used to communicate with remote devices
and update the installed PS-1000S firmware. There is no RS-485 node addressing at this time, so only one PS-
1000 can connect to an RS-485 connection.

 4-20mA ANALOG INPUT (GAS SENSOR INPUT) CALIBRATION USING A GAS
IMPORTANT: The gas sensor should be calibrated to the meter using the gas calibration
procedure on this page.

The gas sensor calibration allows one to calibrate the gas sensor input using air (zero ppm or mg/L)
and a calibration gas, which is within the gas sensor range.

• Connect a gas sensor apparatus that connects to the calibration plug (figure A) that will
permit a 0ppm (mg/L) and a calibration gas of known concentration to be passed over the
sensor.
• Enter calibration mode from the main operating display by pressing any push button, MNU,
CAL, enter password (default 0000), and then SNS.
• Select channel one or two (do not select the mA option).The active gas sensor input will be
displayed, see “SNS CHx” display image above. The value displayed is in ppm & mg/l (both
are equivalent).
• Apply a zero ppm (mg/L), concentration to the sensor and allow sufficient time for the display
to stabilize. The display may not settle to a zero ppm (mg/L)reading.
• Press the ZRO push button to store the zero reference. This value is not adjustable to any
non-zero value
• Apply a known ppm (mg/l) concentration gas to the sensor and allow sufficient time for the
display to stabilize.
• Press the SPAN push button to select the SPAN adjustment mode (see CHx ADJ screen
above).
• Set the correct gas concentration value by using the INC and DEC push buttons.
• Press the ENT to accept the new span value, and the display will again display the active gas
concentration value.
• To permanently store calibration, press the ENT push button. Press ESC to restore the
original calibration.
• The user is returned to the “CAL GAS SENSOR” menu. Select the other channel or press
ESC until the main screen is displayed.
Notes:
• Be sure to store the calibration plug in a safe place so another calibration can be carried out
at a later time (figure A).
• The sensor should be calibrated at least twice a year.
• The sensor life expectancy is two years when exposed to air (see the GAS SENSOR
SPECIFICATIONS FROM THE MANUFACTURER section).
Figure A
 GAS INPUT CALIBRATION WITH A 4-20mA CALIBRATOR
IMPORTANT: The gas sensor should be calibrated to the meter using the gas calibration
procedure on the previous page.

The user can calibrate or check the (milliampere) mA signal input. Enter the mA calibration mode from
the main operating display by pressing any push button, MNU, CAL, enter password (default 0000), SNS,
mA, and then select CH1 or CH2. This mode also sets the gas calibration to zero (4mA) and sensor
full-scale/SPAN (20mA).

NOTE: When this screen and sub screens are accessed, the sensor alarms are deactivated and
the analog outputs are forced to 4mA.

4mA: Press to set the 4mA point. This also sets the zero point in the gas calibration mode.
20mA: Press to set the 20mA point. This also sets the span point in the gas calibration mode to the full-
scale setting (CH1/2 MAX).
ENT: Press to permanently store the new calibration. ENT will only be displayed if the 4mA and/or 20mA
points were set.
ESC: The calibration will be canceled and the last calibration will be restored.

Basic calibration procedure:

• Connect the calibrator to channel one or two and enter the mA calibration mode. See the 4-20mA
POWERED (ACTIVE) CALIBRATOR WIRING wiring diagram (see WIRING section) in this
manual.
• Apply a 4mA signal. Allow time for the reading to settle.
• Press 4mA to set the display to 4.00mA.
• Apply a 20mA signal. Allow time for the reading to settle.
• Press 20mA to set the display to 20.00mA.
• Repeat the 4mA and 20mA cal points if desired.
• Press ENT to accept and store the new calibration, or press ESC to restore the original
calibration.

4-20mA OUTPUT CALIBRATION

Select a PO channel from the CAL OUT SELECT screen. To calibrate the process output (PO1/PO2),
one must connect either a DMM (mA input) or other device that can read the PO1/PO2 current output.
The device should have, at least, 0.01mA precision. The 4mA and 20mA points are set regardless of the
POx MODE selection.

1. Press the PO1/PO2 push button to enter the CAL ADJUST POx screen.
2. Press the 4mA push button and the mA meter should read around 4.00mA.
3. Use the INC & DEC push buttons to set the output to exactly 4.00mA.
4. Press ENT to accept the new value or ESC to discard the new value.
5. Press the 20mA push button; the mA meter should read around 20.00mA.
6. Use the INC & DEC push buttons to set the output to exactly 20.00mA.
7. Press ENT to accept the new value or ESC to discard the new value.
8. The two points are not interactive so one should not need to readjust each point again.
9. Press the ESC push button to go back to the POx selection menu.
 RELAYS
The four or six relays are at least 3A @ 250VAC and 3A @30VDC.

RELAY SUPPRESSION
If the relay connects to an inductive load, one should suppress the relay contacts with a “snubber” circuit, see wiring
diagrams.

115V/230V OPERATION
The PS-1000S-CPU (PCB REV 0644 or above) board contains a voltage selection switch that permits one to select
either 115V to 230V in the field. Be sure to check this switch, as the typical setting is 115V.

ENABLING THE SECOND CHANNEL IN THE FIELD

From the main gas screen, press the right-most push button and then the MNU push button. In the set up menu,
press CFG and then enter the SETUP password (default 0000). Press NXT until “CH2 EN” is displayed. Press ADJ
and press INC until ON is displayed. Press ENT to accept the change to the parameter. Set the remaining
parameters to their correct settings and calibrate the sensor. Also be sure to set the channel two (2) danger and
critical alarm set points.

CHANNEL TWO 4-20mA OUTPUT

An optional PS-1000(S)-AOUT daughter board is used to furnish the second analog output.

The instrument logs danger and critical alarms (whichever occurs). The average gas exposure (AVG in ppm or
mg/l), maximum gas exposure (MAX in ppm or mg/l) and duration the alarm condition occurred (Ti) are logged after
the event no longer exists. The time is displayed as hours, minutes, and seconds (HH:MM:SS); the maximum time
duration (Ti) is 99:59:59.

SENDING THE EVENT LOG TO A REMOTE SYSTEM (COMPUTER)

Serial command EVL will send the following information to a computer RS-232/RS-485 port. The channel number is
specified (1 or 2). A header is sent, which contains the channel number and gas sensor type.
The data sent is the date and time of the event, event type (DGR or CRT), maximum (peak) exposure (in ppm/mgl
units), average exposure (in ppm/mgl units), and the duration (time in hours:minutes:seconds) of the event. Up to
250 events are logged, and when the log memory is full, the oldest event is replaced by the latest event. See the
serial command section of this manual for more information.

CLEARING THE EVENT LOG

The event log cannot be cleared from the front panel. There is a serial command that will clear the event log
(EVLCLR). See the serial command section of this manual for more information.

TIME MENU SELECTIONS

The relay function list below is the default, but one can reassign the relay outputs to suit the requirements of the
installation. K4 & K5 (TB4) are optional relays and are not typically installed.

The relay contacts are “dry” (potential free), so the load power supply is external, see the example circuit above. If
the load is inductive, add a snubber (RC) circuit across the relay contact terminals to greatly extend the life
of the relay contacts. One can also connect the snubber across the load, which is typically more convenient, in
lieu of the contacts, as shown above.

 INTERNAL SHORT-TERM BATTERY BACKUP (BATTERY OPT = NiMH)
An internal short-term battery backup is available as an option. It can power
the PS-1000 from fifteen (15) to forty-five (45) minutes (depending on alarm
status) with fully charged batteries. Only use two 8.4V NiMH batteries with a
capacity of 170mAh (milliamp-hour) or better. The charging time is about 24
hours. NiCd batteries can be used, but they will not last as long in this application
so they are not recommended. To view the battery state, while in the main screen,
press and hold PB3 (second to left-most push button), and after about three
seconds, the battery state screen will be displayed.

WARNING
Do not use alkaline, lithium (any kind), carbon-cell, etc. primary batteries.
Do not install rechargeable alkaline batteries.
• When the battery capacity is depleted, the GD-1000 is powered down.
To turn the GD-1000 off while running on batteries, press and hold the
left-most push button until the message, “POWER DOWN?” is displayed.
Pressing YES will power down the GD-1000.
• The GD-1000 cannot be powered down while running on A.C. power.

EXTERNAL LONG-TERM BATTERY BACKUP (BATTERY OPT = BBU)

The long-term battery (BBU1000) option is a separate enclosure containing a 5.4 Amp-Hr sealed lead-acid (SLA)
battery and battery charger. The BBU1000 connects to TB11 which is located on the PS-1000S-DSP board. The
GD-1000 can be powered for greater than 24 hours when a BBU1000 is employed.

The GD-1000 does not require the user to connect 115V/230V to it since the BBU1000 powers the GD-1000
through the three-conductor cable (supplied). The voltage selection switch, S1, located on the BBU1000 board
allows the user to select either 115VAC or 230VAC (+/- 10% & 50/60Hz) power. The battery will charge when the
BBU1000 is connected to AC power. The battery charge time is from 12 to 24 hours, depending on the duration of
the AC power interruption.

The user can power-down the GD-1000 if it’s operating on the battery backup when the user depresses the left-
most push button in the main operating screen (where the gas detector level(s) are/is displayed) for fifteen seconds
until the LCD display goes blank (this is not the same as the short-term battery option above). To power the GD-
1000 when A.C. power is not present, press the left-most push button. If the BBU1000 is being powered by A.C.
power (mains), the user may not power down the GD-1000 meter.

Note: The BBU1000 is shipped with the battery plug, TB2, disconnected. The user must insert this plug
onto the TB2 header located on the BBU1000 unit for the battery to function properly. Also, the TB3 power
cable must be connected to the GD-1000 meter (The GD-1000 header is TB11). The battery is fully charged
before it leaves the factory. However, the battery will loose some of its charge over time if it’s not being
charged by the BBU1000.

The BBU1000 has internal LEDs that indicate the status of the unit.
