7.8  HYDROGEN SULFIDE MODULE (5100-05) 
7.8.1  DESCRIPTION 
Model 5100-05 Hydrogen Sulfide Sensor Module 
includes a sensor assembly and electronic  
assembly installed in an explosion proof housing. 
The sensor assembly includes a reuseable housing 
and disposable electrochemical sensor.  The 
assembly screws into one hub of the sensor 
module enclosure and plugs into the bottom 
electronics card via a six pin connector.   
Cabling from the controller connects to a three pin 
spring loaded terminal strip on the electronics 
assembly. 
7.8.2  TROUBLE ANALYSIS 
Electrical adjustment, or replacement of the sensor 
will be necessary under the following conditions: 
• 
Controller displays the following error 
messages 
SENSOR FAILURE 
LOW SENSITIVITY 
• 
False readings or alarms are received 
due to sensor inaccuracy. 
Warning:  During sensor adjustments the 
concentration reading on the controller will be inaccurate 
and alarm level concentrations may be displayed.  If false 
activation of the alarm relays will cause a problem 
disconnect the relay wiring prior to adjustment or turn the 
module off using the "Change Module" mode. 
NOTE 
Although all the necessary data can be collected with a 
voltmeter at the sensor module, some helpful 
information can be displayed on the controller or 
printed.  See diagnostic codes 0004 and 0008 in 
Appendix C. 
7.8.3  ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE 
Prior to reading voltages and making adjustments perform 
a visual inspection to confirm that there are no physical 
problems such as water in the electronics enclosure, 
wiring damage or corrosion. 
Use  Figure  7-9 to locate test points during the following 
procedures. 
7.8.3.1  SIGNAL ADJUSTMENT 
It is unlikely that any electrical adjustment will be 
required except when a new sensor is installed. 
To make the electrical adjustment connect a voltmeter to 
SIGNAL OUT
 (pos) and 
GND
 (ground) and use 
SPAN ADJ
 
potentiometer to adjust the voltage based on the 
following: 
• 
1 ppm H
2
S  = 0.02 VDC. 
• 
100 ppm H
2
S  = 2.00 VDC. 
7.8.3.2  SENSOR REPLACEMENT 
The Hydrogen Sulfide sensor should be replaced when it 
can no longer be calibrated correctly.  Generally this is 
every twenty four to thirty months. 
The 
SENSOR FAILURE
 message for Hydrogen Sulfide 
sensors does not indicate a specific failure of the sensor 
but indicates that the sensor is not correctly connected to 
the electronics.  If this message appears check that the 
sensor harness is correctly installed to the connector on 
the bottom electronics board. 
The gas sensor which is located inside the sensor 
assembly housing can be replaced without replacement of 
the housing.  To replace the sensor:
