RFDMAN MAN0843 Issue 3 4 Introduction The Sensepoint RFD transmitter allows the user to either directly or remotely mount a flammable gas sensor from the Sieger Sensepoint and 705 sensor range. The remote sensors can be located up to 45 meters (147 feet) from the transmitter.
4.3 Gas sensors Sensepoint RFD is designed to work with the flammable sensors from the Sieger Sensepoint and 705 ranges. The Sensepoint range is ATEX approved for use throughout Europe. The 705 range is UL approved for use in North America.
0-20% LEL up to 0-100% LEL depending on transmitter or controller. Details of connecting these sensors to the Sensepoint RFD transmitter are given in sections 5 and 6. For sensor more specific details, refer to their individual manuals (00705M5002 standard temperature version and 00705M5010 high temperature version).
5 Installation WARNINGS Sensepoint RFD is designed for installation and use in Zone 1 or 2 hazardous areas in Europe and Class 1 Division 1 or 2 area applications in North America. Installation must be in accordance with the recognized standards of the appropriate authority in the country concerned.
The agreement reached on the location of sensors should be recorded. 5.2 Mounting the transmitter The Sensepoint RFD transmitter is supplied with a mounting bracket. The bracket can be adjusted to fix the transmitter to a wall, or to a mounting pipe (horizontal or vertical), 20.0-80.0mm (0.8 to 3.1 inches).
4. Mount the bracket to a pole or wall using appropriate fixings. 5.3 Mounting the sensor The flammable gas sensors that can be used with the Sensepoint RFD transmitter can be mounted directly to the bottom entry or remotely to a suitable junction box.
RFDMAN MAN0843 Issue 3 5.3.1 Directly mounted sensor To mount a sensor directly to the Sensepoint RFD transmitter follow the procedure below. 1. Ensure that the ¾” NPT to M20 adaptor is fitted to the bottom entry if using a sensor with an M20 thread, or is removed if using a sensor with a ¾”...
Electrical connections WARNINGS Sensepoint RFD is designed for installation and use in Zone 1 or 2 hazardous areas in Europe and Class 1 Division 1 or 2 area applications in North America. Installation must be in accordance with the recognized standards of the appropriate authority in the country concerned.
SENSEPOINT RFD OPERATING MANUAL RFDMAN MAN0843 Issue 3 6.1 Wiring schematics Caution: All electrical connections should be made in accordance with any relevant local or national legislation, standards or codes of practice. 6.1.1 Sensors with 20% LEL and 100% LEL ranges The connection details for the Sensepoint and Model 705 sensors with a detection range of 0-100% LEL or 0-20% LEL are shown in diagram 7 below.
SENSEPOINT RFD OPERATING MANUAL RFDMAN MAN0843 Issue 3 6.2 Terminal connections Note: Ensure that none of the wires in the terminal area cause an obstruction when refitting the Display Module. Ensure that the socket on the Display Module is fully engaged in the Display Module Connector on the Terminal Module.
RFDMAN MAN0843 Issue 3 6.3 Power The Sensepoint RFD transmitter requires a power supply from the controller of between 12Vdc and 30Vdc. Ensure that a minimum supply of 12Vdc is measured at the sensor, taking into account the voltage drop due to cable resistance.
SENSEPOINT RFD OPERATING MANUAL RFDMAN MAN0843 Issue 3 7 Default configuration The Sensepoint RFD transmitter is supplied with the following default configuration.

SENSEPOINT RFD OPERATING MANUAL RFDMAN MAN0843 Issue 3 8 Normal Operation Sensepoint RFD is managed using a menu system, shown on its display screen, which is configured by a Handheld Remote Interface (ZHC1). 8.1 Display Screen The display features an LCD, an IR receiver, a LED indicator and a label identifying the detector type.
SENSEPOINT RFD OPERATING MANUAL RFDMAN MAN0843 Issue 3 8.2 System Status Display indications, current output and relay states for various operational conditions are shown in the following table. For further details of error messages and trouble shooting see section 12.
8.3 Handheld Remote Interface (ZHC1) The Intrinsically Safe (IS) battery-powered Handheld Remote Interface uses infrared signals to interface with the Sensepoint RFD transmitter. The unit operates at a range of up to 1m from the transmitter, and at an angle of +/-15 degrees (viewed from the front center line of the display screen).
SENSEPOINT RFD OPERATING MANUAL RFDMAN MAN0843 Issue 3 The transmitter automatically returns to normal gas detection mode from any configuration menu if a button is not pressed for 30 minutes (unless the menu Timeout option is disabled, see the P-07 menu option).
When in calibration mode the current output from the detector is inhibited (2mA default) to avoid false alarms. Note: Honeywell Analytics recommend the maximum time between calibrations should be no more than 6 months. It is recommended that the calibration is made where the sensor/transmitter have stabilized with their local environment.

Disposal should be according to local waste management requirements and environmental legislation. Alternatively, sensors may be securely packaged and returned to Honeywell Analytics clearly marked for environmental disposal. Substitution of Handheld Remote Interface components may impair its Intrinsic Safety (IS).
