There are two sensor connections on the GBC. These connections provide power to the respective units and monitor the normally close circuit that controls the GBC. The GBC can support up to four Macurco 6-Series gas detectors (350 mA max) in any combination. The sensors must be wired in series for the normally closed circuit to operate correctly.

3.2.2.4 Relay Connections There are four expansion slots that accept the Macurco Expansion Relay boards. Each Expansion Relay board contains two SPDT, 120/240 VAC, 10 A Max (resistive) relays. Each relay can be wired to be either normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) depending on the application.
Apply power to the GBC. The Power LED will light up green to indicate the unit is operational. If the unit is powering the detectors, each detector will cycle through its respected power up cycle. The Macurco Gas Detector (EX. CM-XX) cycles through an internal self-test cycle for the first minute that it is powered. The detector will execute the test cycle any time power is dropped and reapplied (i.e., power failure).

Macurco GBC Manual • Relay Split (J6) o Jumper position 1 & 2 – “All”. (Default) PCBA Rev 0.1: the “All” setting activates all populated relays 1-8 simultaneously based on activation from sensors connected to Sensor 1 terminal. Note: When the jumper is set to “All” Sensor 2 terminal will NOT engage any of the relays.
