Be sure to read and understand the entire
instruction manual before installing or operating
the gas detection system. This product is intended
to provide early warning of the presence of a
flammable or explosive gas mixture. Proper device
installation, operation, and maintenance is required
to ensure safe and effective operation.
application
The Open Path Eclipse Model OPECL is an open
path infrared gas detection system that provides
continuous monitoring of combustible hydrocarbon gas
concentrations in the range of 0 to 5 LFL-meters, over a
distance of 5 to 120 meters. Standard system outputs
include an electrically isolated/non-isolated 4-20 mA dc
current output, with HART communication and RS-485
MODBUS communication. Alarm and fault relays are
available as an option. A LON based model (with no
analog or relay outputs) is available for use with Eagle
Quantum Premier systems.

HART and MODBUS communication, or S3 software for
EQP models.
Detection Range
The standard OPECL system can cover a range of 5 to
120 meters.

HART Communication
Digital communication with the Open Path Eclipse is necessary to monitor internal status and to modify the factory
settings. This appendix provides guidance on establishing HART communication, and describes the communi-
cation menu structure when using the Open Path Eclipse with the HART Handheld Communicator.
Note
The HART protocol incorporates a concept called the "Device Description Language" that enables all sup-
pliers of HART instruments to define and document their products in a single consistent format. This format
is readable by handheld communicators, PC's and other process interface devices that support DDL. DDL
enables full interoperability of devices, regardless of manufacturer, allowing full functionality from any HART
device.
In the event that your Communicator does not establish communications with the Open Path Eclipse, you may
need to ensure that the appropriate DDLs for the OPECL are included within your Communicator. To review the
device descriptions programmed into your HART Communicator:
2. From the Offline menu, press New Configurations to access the list of device descriptions programmed into
your HART Communicator. The Manufacturer menu displays a list of each manufacturer with device descrip-
tions currently installed in your Communicators Memory Module. The standard 12 MB Memory Module is
recommended, as it allows for more device descriptions.
3. Select a manufacturer, and the Model menu displays, containing a list of currently installed device models
provided by the selected manufacturer.
4. Review the different manufacturers and models to determine the installed HART-compatible devices in your
Communicator.
If you cannot find the OPECL device on your Communicator, the device revision you are looking for is not pro-
grammed into the Memory Module. In this instance, you are limited to what is available using the generic interface
built into your HART Communicator.
NOTE
If a device is found, the HART Communicator displays the Online menu. If no device is found, the
Communicator displays the Main menu. If no device is found, check the connections, verify the presence of
a minimum of 250 ohms load resistance in series in the loop, and retry by selecting Online. To poll multiple
devices in the loop, refer to the HART Communicator manual.

Control drawing
An important difference in EQP applications is that LON network cabling will be routed both in and out from the the
EQP OPECL receiver enclosure, so this requirement should be anticipated and planned for during installation.
Note that only the receiver is connected to the LON network. The transmitter is not connected to the LON and
requires wiring for operating power only.
Note: *Use the same type of cable in each wiring segment between
network extenders.
**Maximum wire lengths represent the linear wire distance of
LON communications wiring between network extenders.
The maximum wire lengths given in Table H-1 are based upon
the cables physical and electrical characteristics.
Important
Det-Tronics recommends the use of shielded cable (required by ATEX) to prevent external electromagnetic
interference from affecting field devices.
Important
For best fault isolation performance, the maximum LON wiring length should not exceed 1600 feet (500
meters).
Important
Be sure that selected cable meets all job specifications. The use of other cable types can degrade system
operation. If necessary, consult factory for further suggested cable types.
Multi-Colored LED
Operation of the status indicating LED is identical to all other OPECL versions.
Analog Output
A 4-20 mA analog current output is not available with EQP OPECL.
RS-485 Communication
RS-485 communication is not available with EQP OPECL.
Calibration Routine
The calibration procedure for the EQP OPECL is identical to all other OPECL versions.
NOTE
For complete information regarding installation, configuration or operation of the Eagle Quantum Premier
system, refer to form 95-8533 (Eagle Quantum Premier hardware manual).
Calibration and beam block faults are automatically latched and displayed on the EQP controller. The trouble
relay is activated.

Addresses 1 to 4 are reserved for the EQP controller. Valid addresses for field devices including OPECL gas
detectors are from 5 to 250.
IMPORTANT
If the address is set to zero or an address above 250, the system will ignore the switch setting and the
device.
The LON address is programmed by setting rocker switches on an 8 switch DIP Switch located within the
OPECL housing. The address number is binary encoded with each switch having a specific binary value with
switch 1 being the LSB (Least Significant Bit). (See Figure H-1.) The devices LON address is equal to the added
value of all closed rocker switches. All Open switches are ignored.
Example: for node No. 5, close rocker switches 1 and 3 (binary values 1 + 4); for node No. 25, close rocker
switches 1, 4 and 5 (binary values 1 + 8 + 16).
NOTE
For convenience in setting LON address switches, a Rocker Switch Table is included in the EQP System
manual (form 95-8533).

After setting address switches, record the address number and device type on the Address Identification Chart
(form 95-8487). Post the chart in a convenient location near the Controller for future reference.
IMPORTANT
The OPECL sets the LON address only when power is applied to the device. Therefore, it is important to set
the switches before applying power. If an address is ever changed, system power must be cycled before
the new address will take effect.
WARNING
Disassembly of the OPECL housing and removal of the electronics module from the bulkhead is required
to gain access to the network address switches. Power should be removed from the detector before
disassembly. If disassembly is performed in a hazardous areas, the area must be de-classified before
starting disassembly.
WARNING
Disassembly of the OPECL detector should only be performed with proper electrostatic discharge grounding
protection. A controlled lab or shop setting is recommended for device programming.
The OPECL detector contains semiconductor devices that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Damage caused by electrostatic discharge can be virtually eliminated if the equipment is handled only in
a static safeguarded work area and protective measures against static electricity discharge are employed
during the disassembly process. Since a static safeguarded work area is usually impractical in most field
installations, handle the device by the housing, taking care not to touch electronic components or terminals.
Use a wrist grounding strap or similar method at all times to control accidental ESD when disassembling,
programming, or reassembling the OPECL gas detector.

Removal of four stainless steel flange bolts and the front electronic module of the OPECL receiver from the
bulkhead is required in order to gain access to the network address DIP switch. Tools required for this procedure
include a 4mm hex wrench and a torque wrench capable of accurately measuring 40 inch-pounds.
2. Remove the four stainless steel flange bolts using a 4mm hex wrench. Take care to properly support the
electronic module as the last flange bolt is removed.
3. Carefully remove the electronic module by extracting it straight out from the bulkhead.
Note
Take care to properly align the modules electrical connector with the bulkhead connector before attempting
to fully insert the module. Failure to do so may result in damage to the module and/or bulkhead.
7. Insert and tighten the four flange bolts in an opposing consecutive order in two stages first partially tighten
all four bolts equally, and then fully tighten each bolt in an opposing order to 40 inch-pounds of torque.
8. Apply power after all network addresses have been programmed and all field enclosures are properly
installed.
