1. The System MX62 MX62 is a statio nary control system and evaluator to be used in combination with a va- riety of transmitters for continuous detection of combustible gases, toxic gases and oxy- gen. Main features are high reliability as well as remarkable flexibility. This flexibility refers to all areas, such as free programmability and placing of relays and analogue outputs as well as optional installation in wall- mounted housings, 19”-racks or control panels.
2.1. Description of Modules 2.1.1. Controller Module (CM) The Controller Module is the central control unit of the system for all 64 channels of maximum configuration. Two synchronously working 16-bit micro controllers redun- dantly process the measured values of the Analogue Input Modules. Via a redundant bus, the status of the relays and the analogue output signals are transmitted to the Re- lay and Analogue Output Modules respectively.
2.1.5. Loop Module (LOOPM) The Loop Module for MX62 offers the possibility to build a network of digital transmit- ters or to record measured values of any standard 4-20 mA transmitter by means of the Analogue Input Modules connected to a Loop Module.
2.1.7. LCD Module The system MX62 can be equipped with a graphic LCD display (240 x 128 pixels) showing, for example, information on measuring points, all relevant system parame- ters as well as system events and histograms. The LCD Module is provided with an in- tegrated data logger with a storage capacity of up to 64 MB.
It is possible to copy the LED Modules by using MIMIC Modules. The MIMIC Module has to be connected to the “display bus” of the system MX62. Each MIMIC Module copies exactly one LED Module. It is possible to connect a fur- ther LED Module to the MIMIC Module or to copy the primary LED Module by using the open collector outputs of the MIMIC Modules.
This chapter describes the various operating modes and the respective system performance. 3.1. Channel and System Information As a standard, MX62 provides optical LEDs for the display of channel and system in- formation. Channel information refers to the respective transmitters. The indication is done by...

Power (Operation) Channel Key The four LEDs on the Logo Module or optional LCD Module provide System Informa- tion of the System MX62 itself. LEDs for System Information: These blinking LEDs indicate a certain system status. For detailed description, please see: •...
Information of channel and system status can also be gained from the relay and ana- logue transmitter signals. Ü In the following chapters the relay modules RBM and REM are explained. Details are given assuming a 1:1 relation between signal and relay output. Please note that this ®...
(see chapter 4) Printer: 3.2.2. Alarms The system MX62 has three free adjustable alarm levels within the measuring range of ® 4-20 mA. The software ConfigPro allows, for example, adjusting of alarm levels, latching of alarms or setting of alarm thresholds for mean values within a specified time.
Printer: ATTENTION! The gas detection system MX62 differentiates the faults of a specific channel from those of the complete system (chapter 3.6). If channel malfunctions have to trigger an external measure automatically, the signals in configuration need to be allocated to one or sev- eral relay outputs.
LEL or LEL, > end scale value, message: over scale, display of measured value is frozen Printer: Case B: Threshold for over scale is below the end scale value MX62 will react as if an alarm has been signaled (see 3.2.2).
3.2.7. Resetting of Alarm Signals There are two different types of resetting: • Resetting of Audible Alarm Signals : Relays can be configured to be reset. In general, these should, however, exclusively be employed for the triggering of buzzers, sirens and other audible alarm indicators.
3.3. Start-up Mode Upon start-up or directly after voltage cut-off, alarm signals are blocked for 1 to 10 ® minutes (setting by software ConfigPro ). After the start-up mode, the system auto- matically enters into the operating status. Ü As many transmitters signal undefined values after start-up, this mode eliminates any false alarms.
3.4.1. Alarm Suspension Switch Position 1 The suspension of alarms prevents that relays which are related to alarms, faults, over- or under scale are not taken into account and are consequently not triggered. A general alarm suspension is possible as described in chapter 3.4.7. Display: LED Module: yellow LED for ‘fault’...
3.4.3. Calibration Switch Position 3 This function allows calibration and adjustment of transmitters. Outwardly, the system operates as it does with alarm suspension. Display: LED Module: yellow LED for ‘fault’ flashes, LEDs for alarm, fault, over- or under scale will flash, if the transmitter signal complies with respective condition System: LED for ‘maintenance’...
3.4.5. PC Communication Switch Position 5 PC communication allows external access to the system MX62, e.g. for changing the ® configuration with software ConfigPro . Measurement and evaluation are continued as long as no command via PC communication is given that requires quitting the measur- ing mode.

Hardware malfunction: The RESET line remains at high level after reset. Hardware malfunction: The RESET line remains at low level after reset. Hardware malfunction: The fault relay is active during resetting. Hardware malfunction: The fault relay does not switch. Hardware malfunction: Error in testing of external UART (output modules). Hardware malfunction: Overrun of external UART (output modules).
3.9. Overview of LED Indications The following tables show the various possibilities of indication by the LED Modules and the LEDs for system information. Besides the channel status, information on the system status can also be signaled in case of malfunction. ATTENTION! The tables below show the possibilities of indication when the ISA procedure is de- activated.
4. Operating of the LCD Module The optional LCD Module (240 x 128 pixels) is operated by its four keys as well as those for the respective channels. Besides display of the individual cha nnels indicating information on measuring points and system events, menu-driven operation allows call- ing up of all settings and information plus controlling of data logger and printer.
Generally, the following applies for any operation of the menu: OK key: for going one menu level lower or acknowledgement of entry and modification respectively ESC key: for going one menu level higher or rejection of entry and modification respectively. Arrow keys: for scrolling within a menu or change of va lues 4.2.1.
With continuous recording, the measured values of the selected channel are constantly stored. With event recording, only events of the respective channel are recorded. Note: Modifications for recording of a channel can only be effected if the rotary switch on the controller module is not in position “5” (PC communication). 4.2.9.
4.2.12. Data Logger / Format On the one hand, this menu item can be used to format the memory card. On the other hand, general information of the memory card is shown. 4.2.13. Printer Settings The printer can be activated or deactivated. Note: Activation or deactivation of the printer can only be effected if the rotary switch on the controller module is not in position “5”...

In Germany, for example, regulations BGI 518 and BGI 836 of the Employers’ Liability Insurance Association are to be observed. 5.1. Calibration and Adjustment The system MX62 provides four different methods of calibration that depend on the transmitter to be calibrated as well as the prevailing conditions on site. 5.1.1.
It is possible to adjust standard 4-20 mA transmitters without actually accessing the transmitter directly. This remote calibration can be carried out in the maintenance mode of “PC Communication” by adjusting the 4-20 mA output of the MX62 within a preset range by means of special PC software RemoteCalibrationPro.

7.3. Analogue Input Extension Module (AEAM) The AEAM needs to have the same address as the respective AEM. The smoke detector has to be connected to the AEM, excepting the 24 V supply. The connection of the 24 V supply has to be done on the AEAM. Therefore the terminals 24 V of the AEM and AEAM are connected.
7.4. Basic Relay Module (RBM) and Extension Relay Module (REM) Different addresses between 1 and 8 have to be allocated to the relay modules with help of the fitted rotary switch. The REM with relays 9 to 16 is plugged onto the RBM with relays 1 to 8. All 16 relays have a change-over contact (make contact, input, break contact).
7.5. Loop Module (LOOPM) The address of the LOOPM has to be allocated with help of the fitted rotary switch. Possible addresses for loop modules are 1, 3, 5 and 7. In case of a wrong address (even numbers), the loop module activates its LED for ‘error’. The last module of the output bus has to form a bus end with two jumpers .
7.6. Analogue Output Module (AAM) Different addresses between 1 and 8 have to be allocated to the AAMs with the help of the fitted rotary switch. Each relay has a pertaining jumper by which 0-10 V or 4-20 mA can be selected. •...
7.7. LCD Module / LCD Copy Module The LCD Module with integrated data logger can accommodate a storing chip of 64 MB memorizing measured values, alarms and system events as well as 8-hour mean values. All information stored can be shown on the LCD screen. The recorded values are shown on the LCD in form of a histogram.
7.8. MIMIC Module The address of the copied LED Module has to be set with the address select switch at the MIMIC Module. The switch is on the main PCB of the MIMIC Module. The maximum current of the OC outputs of the MIMIC Module is 200mA. For connection of external LED a 24V supply is needed.
Transmitters with external i n put requirement must not be connected. The sheath of the shielded line must be connected with the housing of MX62. In case the housing of the transmitter is made of metal, the sheath is also to be connected with this housing via the screwing.
8.2.2. 19"-Rack The distance between the 19"-rack and the mounting plate must be less than three me- ters. The sheath of the shielded line should be connected with the housing at the entry of the switchboard cabinet and on the mounting plate. The relay modules and LED Mod- ules can be connected by a flat or bus cable.

The Basic Relay Module has, also tion system will be provided with within the MX62 housing, not to an emergency power supply. be connected by the flat cable but the bus cable. It has to be made sure that each channel (A/B) has its own cable.
The rates indicated are based on the assumption that the fixed intervals for inspection and maintenance of MX62 and its transmitters are adhered to. These intervals need to be determined prior to start-up of the central unit of the gas detection system.
When employing remote relay modules, i.e. relay modules not positioned inside the MX62 housing, it has to be made sure that the two channels (A/B) of the relay module are connected with the controller module via two separate bus cables having a differ- ent layout.
