RELAY OUTPUTS (Optional)—
Available on Ex d approved models only.
ALARM RELAYS—
Low and High
Form C Type (NO/NC). De-Energized during Normal
mode, Energized on Alarm.
Contact Rating: 3 amperes at 30 Vdc.
Programmable for Latching or Non-Latching Operation.
Low Alarm: 0.5 to 4.5 LFL-meters
(default = 1 LFL-meters, Non-latching).
High Alarm: 0.5 to 4.5 LFL-meters
(default = 3 LFL-meters, Non-latching).
Alarm relays are programmable using HART or Modbus
communication.
CAUTION
When the AutroPath HC800 Gas Detector is
used in conjunction with an appropriate certi ed
Control Unit and con gured for a non-latching
high alarm, the control unit must always latch and
require a deliberate manual action to clear a high
gas alarm. When used as a stand alone device,
the high alarm must always be programmed for
latching operation.
FAULT RELAY—
Form C Type (NO/NC).
Energized during Normal mode, De-Energized on
Fault or loss of power.
Contact Rating: 3 amperes at 30 VDC.
Non-Latching Operation only — not programmable.
VISUAL STATUS INDICATOR
LEDs – Transmitter:
Red = Low alarm, high alarm*
Green = Power on / OK
Yellow = Fault / warm-up / calibration*.
*Communication link required for low / high alarm and
calibration indication.
LEDs – Receiver:
Red = Low alarm, high alarm
Green = Power on / OK
Yellow = Fault / warm-up / calibration.
See Tables 4 and 5 for details.
AVAILABLE GAS SETTINGS—
Third party performance approved to Methane, Butane,
and Propane.
DETECTION RANGE—
Short Range 5-60 meters
Long Range 30-120 meters.
Note: It may be necessary to add the aperture (supplied)
to the transmitter when operating at the lower 10-15
meters of each range.
MISALIGNMENT TOLERANCE—
±0.8 degree minimum (56cm @ 40m; ~±168cm @
120m). The AutroPath HC800 is third party verifi ed
to maintain specifi ed accuracy within the entire 0.8
degree fi eld of view for both Receiver and Transmitter.
Note: The receiver has a circular fi eld of view. The
transmitter has an oval shaped fi eld of view with a
minimum 0.8 degree tolerance along the horizontal axis
and a minimum 1.5 degree tolerance along the vertical
axis (

v e r i fi e d ) .
CALIBRATION—
AutroPath HC800 systems are span calibrated for
methane, propane, and butane at the factory. Span
calibration in the fi eld is not required.
Zero calibration is accomplished in the fi eld by one of
the following methods:
– On-board magnetic reed switch
– Modbus communication
– HART communication
– External calibration switch.
RESPONSE TIME—
Refer to the appropriate Approval/Certifi cation
Appendix for details.
ACCURACY—
Refer to the appropriate Approval/Certifi cation
Appendix for details. Accuracy specifi cation applies
to full operating temperature, humidity, and pressure
ranges listed, unless noted otherwise.
NOTE
Misalignment will cause the manufacturer stated
Accuracy limits to increase, but remain within the
limits of EN 60079-29-4 and IEC 60079-29-4.
