The Hydran M2-X
’s user interface (see
Figure 2-2) consists of an eight-key
membrane keypad and a 128 x 64 pixels, backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) to use the
Hydran M2-X as a stand-alone unit. For more information on the user interface, see

Figure 2-5: Right Side of the Electronic Card Cage
1.
DB-9 connector for RS-232 link
: This surge-protected, male connector
allows local
RS-232 communications between the Hydran M2-X and a
laptop computer running the Perception software. For details, see
Chapter 5.
2.
TDM and RS-485 terminal block
: This terminal block is used to connect
the
following signals (from left to right; for wiring details, see Section D-1):
•
Terminals 1 to 4
: Standard TDM (time division multiplexing) signal. This
TDM signal
is provided for backward compatibility with the Hydran
201T
i
; see the
Hydran 201i
System Instruction Manual
. This TDM signal
transmits two pieces of information:
–
The percentage of gas level (where 100 % is 2,000 ppm for the
standard model).
–
The state of the alarm relays 1 and 2.
•
Terminals 5 to 12
: RS-485 network link input and output signals. These
signals are used
to connect two or more Hydran M2-X
’s in a daisy
chain configuration to form a network. The network can be connected
temporarily through the DB-9 connector to a laptop computer running
the Perception software. For information on networking, see Chapter
5.

Two optional I/O interfaces
: The following interfaces are available (any
combination is allowed):

–
20 mA general-purpose isolated input
: The Hydran M2-X can
monitor up to four analog
inputs. These analog inputs are typically
