65-2661RK-XX-04 M2A Transmitter Operator’s Manual

Chapter 1: Introduction

Overview

This chapter briefly describes the 65-2661RK-XX-04 M2A Transmitter. This chapter also describes the 

65-

2661RK-XX-04 M2A Transmitter Operator’s Manual

 (this document). Table 1 at the end of this chapter lists the 

specifications for the M2A.

About the M2A Transmitter

The M2A 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 M2A displays the current gas reading on an OLED 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 M2A 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.

NOTE:

Describes additional or critical information.

CAUTION:

Describes potential damage to equipment.

WARNING:
