About the M2 Transmitter
The M2 transmitter is a fixed mount, continuous-monitoring detector head. All user
adjustable parameters may be accessed using push button switches. In addition,
calibration may be performed non-intrusively by use of a magnetic wand accessory which
activates magnetic switches through a window at the front face of the detector head.
The M2 displays the current gas reading on an LCD display which is visible through the
window in the cover (front face) and provides a 4 - 20 mA signal which indicates the
target gas reading for use by a gas monitoring controller, recording device, or
programmable controller. The M2 also provides an RS-485 Modbus output. Three sets of
relay contacts, two controlled by the gas alarms and one by the fail alarm, rated at 115
VAC 5 amps are available for controlling devices such as lights or horns or for controlling
higher rated relays.
Four operating modes allow you to display and change setup and calibration settings and
change the gas type. They are Calibration Mode, Configuration Mode, Gas Type Mode,
and Modbus Mode.
