Three versions of the transmitter are available: GTR 210 Standard: The GTR 210 Standard is the basic model of the GTR 210 family. It provides as User interface a LCD graphic display, a touchpad with six keys and one current output.
GTR 210 Rev 1.16 Page 2 Conformity The gas transmitter GTR 210 incorporates a universal gas measuring head which is manufactured both as standard and in an explosion-protected version. The safe measuring function for inflammable gases and the software were tested by Dekra-Exam-GmbH.
In the Comfort version of the GTR 210, alarm and fault relays are additionally installed on the lower housing. Thus the Comfort version can be used as a real "standalone" gas measuring device, without...
Installation & Operational Startup Installation The gas transmitter GTR 210 is designed for stationary gas monitoring. The installation should be implemented at a location which is clean, sheltered from the weather and as vibration-free as possible. The installation must be such that the sensor is accessible for maintenance work.
ADOS GmbH GTR 210 Rev 1.16 Page 7 4.1.3 Installation of the Flow Adapter In some applications, it is not possible to measure gas directly on site. In such cases, the gas can be extracted and fed into the gas transmitter via a pump at an appropriate location.

The connection of the GTR 210 may be implemented in voltage-free status only. • In case of explosion-protected implementation of the GTR 210, a cable gland with an EC design type test certificate and the identification: II 2G Ex e II must be used. The cable gland connection is included in the scope of delivery.
The adjustment should checked regularly (e.g. daily) until no further significant deviations are detected. • The supply voltage at the connecting terminals of the GTR 210 must not be less than 18 V and not higher than 26 V •...
Operation Device Display The GTR 210 incorporates a graphics display. The upper line of the display indicates the status of the gas transmitter, where faults and alarms are output. If no alarms or faults are present, the current date is displayed. The measured value is indicated below the status line. The measured value is displayed with sign, name of the target gas and the physical unit.

Alarms In the user menu of the GTR 210, three limit values can be set, each of which triggers an alarm. The first alarm is a pre-alarm, the limit value of which is always lower than that of the main alarm (except for the measurement of oxygen).
Page 16 Trend Graph The GTR 210 comes with 4 different trend graphs that are shown when pushing the arrow keys more than two seconds in the measuring mode. You can switch between the display of the different trend graphs by repeating the activation of the arrow keys.
GTR 210 Rev 1.16 Page 17 Output Signals The GTR 210 transmits the measured gas concentration to the evaluation unit via an analogue 4...20 mA current interface. The measuring range of the gas transmitter is transmitted straight proportionally to the current output.
On the current output, 2 mA is output (maintenance mode). This is to allow the sensor cell to warm-up and avoid any fault alarm during this time. After the run-in time, the GTR 210 automatically accesses the measurement mode. Maintenance mode (15 seconds remain) MAINTE.
Page 19 Exception-state: sensor-overload When using a pellistor-sensor (VQ sensor), the GTR 210 can be in an exception-state. Due to the physical measurement principle, the signal from the pellistor-sensor falls with concentrations exceeding the lower explosion limit. In order to prevent the gas transmitter from indicating a smaller concentration at this time, the exception condition "VQ overload"...
ADOS GmbH GTR 210 Rev 1.16 Page 20 Exception-states The GTR 210 gas transmitter has the following exception-states: • warm-up, • calibration, • parameterization (maintenance), • and fault. The measurement of the gas concentration and therefore the output of alarms are interrupted during a exception-state.
15 minutes. The parameters of the GTR 210 are adjusted by way of a menu. In order to access the menu, the ESC key must be pressed for 4 seconds, then released. In order to protect the measuring device from unauthorized user access, a request is made for the input of a valid code 210.
ADOS GmbH GTR 210 Rev 1.16 Page 22 Main Menu The main menu consists of the sub-menu System, Sensor, Alarms, Calibration and the menu items Relay, Time/Date and Language. The menu structure is illustrated below: -mainmenu- -system- system sensor system-info...
Menu Item Relay This menu item is available in the comfort version of the GTR 210 only. This item is used to specify whether the alarm relays are to be activated as normally closed or normally open contacts. The fault relay is not configurable and is always operated as a normally closed for safety reasons, so that wire breaks and a failure of the power supply can also be detected.
ADOS GmbH GTR 210 Rev 1.16 Page 24 Sub-menu System The sub-menu "System" provides information on the system, and makes test routines available to the user in a further sub-menu. The following illustration shows the menu structure: -system- -system-info- system-info...
6.2.2.3 Reset-Acknowledgement Using this function in the Comfort version of the GTR 210, the digital input can be tested. If the terminals DIG IN+ and DIG-IN- are connected together, then "confirmation:1" must be displayed. If the terminals are not connected together, then "confirmation:0" must be displayed.
Watchdog The Watchdog is an important part of the equipment. It restarts the device within 1.6 s if the software fails. The function of the Watchdog is correct when the GTR 210 restarts within 5 seconds after calling this function.
6.2.3 Show Alarms All alarm changes are logged by the GTR 210. For each event that changes the alarm status, the states of the alarm relays, the measured gas concentration and the time, are saved. Activation of the maintenance mode is also logged. The status of the alarms is displayed with "0" or "1". Self-locking alarms are additionally identified with "reset man.?"...

ADOS GmbH GTR 210 Rev 1.16 Page 32 6.4.3 Current 4 mA This menu item and the following item, are used for calibrating the output currents. The output current is already calibrated ex-works. A post-calibration is generally not necessary. The calibration is independent of the load impedance connected.
ADOS GmbH GTR 210 Rev 1.16 Page 33 6.4.4 Current 20 mA In this menu item, the output current is calibrated. The output current is already calibrated ex-works. A post-calibration is generally not necessary. The calibration is independent of the load impedance connected. It must only be ensured that the load impedance is not greater than 400 ohms.
2000 - 6000 works calibration current 20mA 15000 - 25000 works calibration The default settings of the GTR 210 TOX O (measurement of oxygen) deviate as follows: limit value 1 (Lt.1) 90% URV > Lt.1 > Lt.2 19% Vol% O limit value 2 (Lt.2)
For safety-technical reasons, the sensing head should be checked once each year by a specialist. The maintenance work can be subdivided into transmitter tests of ADOS GTR 210 and testing the evaluation electronics. A check of the calibration, with zero gas and calibration gas, must be carried out on all existing sensors, since the gas sensors age with time and can lose sensitivity.
ADOS GmbH GTR 210 Rev 1.16 Page 36 Calibration Read carefully, before any calibration: The measuring device must have been in operation for at least two hours before the calibration of the gas sensor! A suitable calibration gas adapter must be used for feeding the test gas. The calibration gas adapter must not produce any pressure on the measurement cell.

The user must wait until the indicated time has elapsed and the measured value for the zero gas has stabilized. After the time has elapsed, the GTR 210 waits for a user confirmation to check the new value and to accept it, as appropriate. Confirmation with the “ENTER key” should be made only when the user has checked that the measured value has in fact stabilized, i.e.

In these cases, the calibration gas concentration must first be checked. If the test gas is not the cause, a new sensor cell must be fitted by the service of the ADOS company. 7.1.5 Conversion of the test gas concentration using a substitute gas With gases, the calibration can only performed with the measuring gas.
