    MGS-250 Manual Part number 6401-0501 (R22) is factory calibrated to R22 and has an as-shipped R22 response accuracy of r5% of reading. The gas detector may be changed to respond to any of the other listed refrigerants (see parameter P.-11, in section 5.2). If changed, the gas detector will have a lower accuracy for the target refrigerant (without calibration).

    MGS-250 Manual 2.2.2. Machinery Rooms There is no absolute rule in determining the number of gas detectors and their locations. However, a number of simple guidelines will help to make a decision. Gas detectors monitor a point as opposed to an area. If the gas leak does not reach the detector then no alarm will be triggered.
  • Page 19: Chillers

    MGS-250 Manual any direct airflow. In large rooms with multiple evaporators, gas detectors should be mounted on the central line between 2 adjacent evaporators, as turbulence will result in airflows mixing. 2.2.4. Chillers In the case of small water- or air-cooled enclosed chiller units mount the gas detector so as to monitor airflow to the extract fans.

    MGS-250 Manual Section 3. Wiring and Configuration 3.1. Overview Prior to wiring and configuring the MGS-250, assure the following conditions have been met: MGS-250 backplate is mounted in an appropriate location the cover panel is removed. If the cover panel was reattached after mounting, open the gas detector enclosure by pressing the top latch with a suitable screwdriver or other flat blade.
  • Page 23: Wiring Supply Power (24Vac Or 24Vdc)

    MGS-250 Manual 3.2. Wiring Supply Power (24VAC or 24VDC) WARNING: Incorrect wiring may permanently damage the gas detector, and void the warranty. Double check all terminations before applying power. Either 24VAC or 24VDC may be used to power the MGS-250. Connect wiring to the appropriate terminal locations (see Table 5).
  • Page 24: Figure 9. Maintaining Neutral Polarity

    MGS-250 Manual WARNING: The MGS-250 must be powered by either: a suitable UL 60950/CSA certified power supply that is isolated from line voltage by double insulation, or an appropriately rated UL listed/CSA Class 2 transformer. Failure to comply can result in personal injury or death. WARNING: Neutral polarity must be maintained across units.
  • Page 25: Wiring Alarm Output (Analog Signal)

    MGS-250 Manual 3.3. Wiring Alarm Output (Analog Signal) The MGS-250 provides an analog output signal that is proportional to the level of gas detected. NOTE: No jumpers or hardware switch settings are required to configure the analog output. This is done electronically from the front panel display.
  • Page 26: Wiring The Digital Alarm Output Relay

    MGS-250 Manual 3.4. Wiring the Digital Alarm Output Relay An alarm setpoint may be programmed from the front panel of the MGS-250. When the the sensed gas level exceeds the alarm setpoint, the MGS-250 enters the alarm state. An on-board relay is tied to the alarm state, so you may activate (or deactivate) external equipment based on the MGS-250’s current alarm status.
  • Page 27: Modbus Network Configuration

    MGS-250 Manual 3.5. Modbus Network Configuration If your application includes a Modbus network, make network connections (RS-485 A and RS-485 B) using 18 to 24 AWG shielded twisted pair wires (with 120 ohm characteristic impedance) to terminal block positions 7 and 8 (see Figure 12), noting inverted B (-) and non- inverted A (+) signal connectors per Table 8.
  • Page 28 MGS-250 Manual IMPORTANT: Connect the RS-485 cable shield to pin 9 (board ground). NOTE: Selection of the Modbus Address and Baud Rate is completed through the gas detector setup menu, described later. No jumpers or hardware switch settings are required to configure the Modbus communications network.

    MGS-250 Manual Figure 13. Setting Network Termination Resistors 3.6. Conclusion Once the base is mounted and all wiring is complete, align the gas detector housing and press it onto the base. The gas detector will snap into position, completing all electrical connections. Ensure the top and bottom snap locks are engaged.
  • Page 30: Operation And Stabilization

    IMPORTANT: It is vital when first installing the gas detector that it warms up in an atmosphere that is known not to contain any background concentrations of refrigerant. Bacharach offers portable gas detectors for this purpose. Contact the factory for more information. 4.3.

    MGS-250 Manual Parameter Description Response Filtering This parameter is used to turn filtered output ON (01) or OFF (00). The default setting is ON (01). The Modbus and analog output are filtered so that responses below 75 ppm are squelched. If the display mode (P.-09) is set to ON (01) the display shows 0 for any signal level below 75 ppm.
  • Page 43: Functional Tests And Adjustments

    In applications where life safety is critical, calibration gas adjustment should be done quarterly (every 3 months) or on a more frequent basis. Bacharach is not responsible for setting safety practices and policies. Safe work procedures including calibration policies are best determined by company policy, industry standards, and local codes.
  • Page 44: Bump Testing Vs. Adjusting Detector Response

    MGS-250 Manual IMPORTANT: After initial installation, the MGS-250 should be gas tested to ensure proper operation. IMPORTANT: The testing and/or adjustment of the unit must be carried out by a suitably qualified technician, and must be done: in accordance with this manual in compliance with locally applicable guidelines and regulations.
  • Page 45: Bump Testing

    MGS-250 Manual the actual gas detector response level (via parameter P.-17) to ensure that the gas detector activates at the specified gas concentration. Refer to the following sections for addition information on bump testing and gas detector response adjustment. CAUTION: Before you carry out the test or adjustment: Advise occupants, plant operators, and supervisors.
  • Page 46: Adjustment Using Calibration Gas

    6.4. Adjustment Using Calibration Gas Adjustment Using Calibration Gas requires a gas cylinder with the appropriate gas and concentration. Note that Bacharach offers a calibration kit that consists of a calibration gas cylinder and a flow regulation valve with flexible non-absorbent tubing.
  • Page 47 MGS-250 Manual NOTE: For improved accuracy and response, the gas detector should be protected from excess drafts while performing the adjustment. Excess air circulation may dilute the applied calibration gas and lead to lower than expected response. Step Adjustment Using Calibration Gas Cylinders Connect the regulator to the test gas port using 3 mm or 1/8”...
  • Page 48 MGS-250 Manual Step Adjustment Using Calibration Gas Cylinders If no further changes to the other parameters are required, press and hold the L button for 5 seconds to exit the Parameter list. Upon exiting the parameters list, the gas detector will enter offline mode for a period of 10 minutes. This allows time for the calibration gas to dissipate after testing.
