Introduction  
Introduction  
The 96D controllers act as nerve centers for gas detection networks,  
providing continuous monitoring for up to 96 connected units (plus 1  
301ADI). Since the controllers are factory programmed to the owner’s  
specifications, installation is limited simply to mounting and connecting  
them. Once installed and connected, the controllers allow the user to  
monitor, adjust, or reconfigure an entire network of units.  
Intended Use  
The controller is intended to monitor an entire gas detection network  
around the clock. The unit offers logging capabilities, creating log files  
of all transmitter concentrations and alarms for analysis. The unit is  
also equipped with grouping or zoning capabilities that allow users to  
query and monitor specific groups of transmitters or specific transmitter  
zones.  
Receiving and Unpacking  
Upon receiving the controller unit:  
•
•
•
Check that the package is undamaged  
Carefully open the package.  
Locate the packing slip or purchase order and verify that all items  
on the order are present and undamaged  
Note: If the package or any of its contents are damaged, please refer to  
the Warranty section at the back of the manual for instructions.

Introduction  
Wiring Details  
The connectors, or ports, on the PCB allow various wiring to be  
connected to the controller. The wiring includes power, communication,  
BACNet and relays, each with an assigned position (and number) on  
the board:  
J22 Power Input:  
Connect the power supply to the controller  
(
see Wiring Details for cabling diagrams)  
J23, J24 Communication  
inputs:  
Connect communication cables to channels 1  
through 3.  
Relay Outputs 1-4:  
SHDN jumper  
Depending on the desired configuration,  
connect the relay cables to either N.O. or N.C.  
Place the jumper over the Shutdown header  
pins to reset or restart the system.  
Place the jumper over the header pins to  
create the connection to attenuate  
communication echoes.

Introduction  
Power Connections  
Power Connections  
The 96D requires a power range of 17-27 Vac, 50/60 Hz (8.64 VA), 18-  
36 Vdc, 350 mA @24 Vdc (8.4 VA). Polarization is not important in  
either AC or DC mode. The system must be grounded on the  
transformer and a dedicated circuit breaker must be used.  
Communication Connections  
Communication cables must be grounded using the shield terminal,  
using twisted and shielded pair Belden 2-24 AWG #9841 cable (or  
equivalent).  
The network cabling can extend up to a limit of 2000 feet (609 m) per  
channel.  
The length of a T-tap can reach 65 feet (20 m), up to a maximum of 130  
feet (40 m) for all T-taps.  
All wireless devices associated to the controller will automatically be  
detected and communicate with the controller using wireless  
communication protocols.  
Settings for Specific Transmitters  
Honeywell Sensepoint XCD Transmitters must be configured for 9600  
baud, no parity, and a unique address. Honeywell XNX Universal  
Transmitters must be configured for 9600 baud and a unique address.  
Information on configuring each transmitter is in the associated  
technical manual.

Introduction  
Relay Output  
Relay Output  
The relay output can withstand up to 5A at 30Vdc or 250Vac (resistive  
load only). Relays can be used to activate horns and strobes. Although  
each relay is programmed with a default setting (below), they can be  
configured using the controller programming menu.  
RELAY OUTPUTS  
N.O.  
COMM  
N.C.  
Normally open  
Normally closed  
If relays are set to Normally closed, the relay is powered up with the  
controller and the device linked to the relay is functioning. The relay will  
shut down when the specified alarm condition is reached.  
If the relay is set to normally open, the relay will remain off when the  
controller is powered up and the device connected to the relay will only  
be activated when the specified alarm condition is reached.  
Note: These functions are reversed if the controller Failsafe mode has  
been activated.

Introduction  
Relay Output  
Jumper Use Instructions  
The jumpers on the controller PCB allow a variety of operations to be  
performed manually:  
EOL 1-4: Enables the user to add End-Of-Line jumpers that improve  
communication signals. Put the jumper in R position (as  
shown on wiring diagram) to activate the End-of-Line  
termination. (R provides a resistance termination and RC  
provides resistance and condensator termination.)  
SHDN:  
Enables the microcontroller to be reset or temporarily shut  
down. This function is used mainly when system wiring  
adjustments are needed (power off for safety).  
Relays  
These jumpers allow the relay to be tested by activating it  
J29-J32 without having any effect on Events.

Getting Started  
Relay Output  
Getting Started  
The controller units are customized to the purchaser’s specifications but  
they can be further programmed using the following menu options.  
Initial Startup  
Make sure that all wiring has been completed according to  
specifications in the wiring details before powering up the unit. When  
all is secure, remove the SHDN jumper to power-up the unit. It should  
only take a few seconds until the unit is fully operative.  
Datalogger (SDcard)  
The DLC (Data Logger Card) option for the controller collects data and  
stores it on a digital Flash memory card (SDCard). In the event that the  
card memory becomes full:  
•
•
•
Information logging is stopped  
No SDcard flag is displayed on-screen  
The SDcard LED blinks  
See the Acquisition section for more details on starting and stopping the  
datalogging function.  
Always deactivate datalogging function before removing the  
CAUTION  
SDcard. Never remove the card when its LED is on.
