High voltage terminals (120/240 VAC) are located within the DVP-120C, presenting a hazard to service technicians. Only qualified technicians should open the DVP-120C case and service the internal circuits. Ensure power is removed from the DVP-120C prior to servicing the unit.
DVP-120C to the building ventilation and automation systems. The RS-485 serial interface is from the DVP-120C to the remote detectors. Power to these detectors is provided by an external 24VAC or VDC low voltage power supply. See section 3.2.3 Remote Sensor Connection...
ETL Listed to UL 2017 (Type SM) Where required by federal, state, local regulations or the Authority Having Jurisdiction, DVP-120C is required to be used with Listed Horn/Strobe model 78-2900-0211-X* to meet the 85dB(A) Audibility requirements of Standards UL 2017.
Mounting holes are provided in the DVP-120C case at the four corners. The top two are keyhole shaped so that the panel can be hung and then the two bottom screws driven to hold the panel. See figure 3-1. The panel should be mounted with sufficient space around the panel for access to conduit entry holes provided on the top, bottom and right side of the panel.
High voltage terminals (120/240 VAC) are located within the DVP-120C, presenting a hazard to service technicians. Only qualified technicians should open the DVP-120C case and service the internal circuits. Ensure power is removed from the DVP-120C prior to servicing the unit.
All shields should be terminated at the DVP-120C end of the cable only. A ground stud is provided. The power connections to the MRS-485 and remote mounted sensors should be size AWG18 (minimum) for short runs.

RS485-MODBUS is also possible. The DVP-120C has a single Modbus termination block that will accept two trunk cable connections allowing for two MODBUS communication lines. The Trunk cable must be wired in parallel from the panel to the end of line with no off shoots “T-tapping”.
MRS-485. The power connections to the remotely mounted detectors should be size AWG18 (minimum) for short runs. Since Macurco detectors are rated for operation between 12 and 24 VDC or VAC, the voltage drop between the power supply and the MRS-485 should not be an issue if the recommended power wire gauge guidelines in are followed.
Class 2 control circuits, so Class 2 conductors should be used. For UL 2017, DVP-120C was tested with one Listed Horn/Strobe model 78-2900-0211-X where X represents lens cover color, R for red lens cover, G for green lens cover, B for blue lens cover, O for amber lens cover, C for clear lens cover.

Power connections to Macurco sensors used with the DVP-120C are polarity-insensitive (no polarity) since a bridge rectifier is connected to the power input terminals. All sensors used with the DVP-120C panel employ screw clamp terminal blocks for power and signal connections. The polarity of the current loop connections is marked on the printed circuit board of the sensor.

Macurco DVP-120C Manual Figure 3-10 Modbus Wiring 3.2.6.2 Line Termination – End of Line Resistor The MRS-485 and DVP-485B adapters are wired in the standard 2W-Modbus circuit definition with selectable built-in terminating resistors at the ends of the RS-485 bus. The MRS-485 and DVP-485B adapters provide integral termination for the end of line resistors (EOL).

4.1 Power up When power is first applied to the DVP-120C, a few simple self-tests will be performed, and the system will cycle through all status lights, and display the system model and firmware version number (Figure 4-1). The system will then proceed to normal mode if the operating parameters have been entered.
The keypad is used to select the information displayed and to enter the configuration parameters, which are stored in the DVP-120C memory. The keypad consists of ten-digit keys, four direction keys, plus a MENU key that is used to access the configuration menu and a HUSH key that will silence the audible alarm indicators.

The ventilation control function operates independently from the alarm function. It provides the ability to configure the DVP-120C for control of one to three zones. Each zone can respond to gas levels indicated by one or more of the sensors, with configurable turn on and turn off concentrations (rising and falling) for each gas type. Each zone can also be controlled based on the time of day.
Macurco DVP-120C Manual Figure 4-20 Zone Signal Display The display will cycle through all zones that are controlling the horn or strobe and are signaling, at five seconds per display. Pressing any key (except HUSH) will advance the display to the next zone that is signaling.
Macurco DVP-120C Manual The up cursor key scrolls through the menu entries in the order listed here, while the down cursor key scrolls in the reverse order. Changing the configuration parameters requires the entry of a password before changes can be made. The default password is 1234.

This display example shows that the sensor on channel 01 has been configured as a Carbon Monoxide Sensor. The valid entries for Macurco type sensors are Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO Setting the sensor type to 0 (zero) will cause the display to ask if the user wants to DELETE the sensor. If the answer is yes, the configuration record for this sensor channel will be deleted and the channel will no longer be used to control the ventilation system.

If a newer version of firmware is available in the NPU you will be prompted to update when connected to the DVP- 120C. NOTE: Macurco NPU cannot use to upload DVP-120 firmware. Figure 5-4 shows the screen of NPU software when a device is connected. As shown in the Figure, it displays the device name with device configuration version under it.
Open the Macurco Network Parameter Utility Software. b. If DVP-120C is connected to PC via USB, the software will display home screen like one in Figure 5-1. If Software does not detect the panel it will display “No Device Connected”. Make sure software detects the panel before proceeding.

Most problems can be traced to the set-up of configurable features and modes, system wiring or trouble with the sensors. WARNING Failure to follow instructions outlined in this user manual can result in sickness or death.
Sensor Trouble All Macurco™ Sensors are either supplied with a STATUS LED that will indicate the health of the device or will display a trouble condition on the digital display. Macurco sensors may be tested by depressing the TEST button on the sensor printed circuit board, or (depending on the type of sensor), the button on the interior front panel of the unit.
6.3 No Power The DVP-120C starts up as soon as power is applied to the microcontroller, and the DVP-120C is designed to have power continuously applied to the unit. An external indication of successful power application to the unit is the immediate operation of the Status Lamps grouped around the LCD.

Buzzer Table 7-1 Keypad keys for Testing Functionality If all test is complete, turn off the DVP-120 or DVP-120C. Move the jumper back to bottom two pins of EXT connector for DVP-120 and right two pins of J10 for DVP-120C.
Macurco DVP-120C Manual Turn ON DVP-120 or DVP-120C and verify the normal operation as explained in section 4.2 Initial Operating Mode. 7.2 Maintenance DVP-120C do not have parts that require regular maintenance. For fuse, replacement see Section 6.3 No Power of the manual.
Note: The Delay Time default is 1 minute. If the duration of a test procedure or gas exposure is less than 1 minute, the relays, horns, and strobes may not engage even though the DVP-120C display and the sensors respond. When testing the system disable the delay (set Delay Time to zero minutes/seconds).
