The device is designed to work in closed rooms with low dustiness, in the temperature range from -5°C to 40°C and relative humidity of air up to 80% at 40°C. The mCDG 6000 control panel should be mounted on a DIN rail. It requires external power supply. mCDG 6000 GAS DETECTION PANEL...
Maintenance works and periodical inspections must be carried out by authorized personnel of companies authorized or trained by POLON-ALFA. All repairs must be done by the manufacturer. POLON-ALFA S.A. is not responsible for the operation of devices maintained and repaired by unauthorized personnel.
2. Design and component set of the control panel An external power supply is required for proper operation of the mCDG 6000 control panel. The selec- tion of the power supply unit depends on the control panel usage. The control panel is compatible with PSG-6000 series gas detectors.

If a system fault occurs, disconnect the control panel from power supply for 1 minute and turn power back on. If the situation repeats, contact the manufacturer's technical support department. * Because the PK1 relay is used as a system fault relay, it is recommended to configure it for fault- related applications. mCDG 6000 GAS DETECTION PANEL...
In order to read the panel software version from the configurator software level, it is necessary to switch on the control panel status window. At the bottom left corner, the uploaded panel software version is visible, as shown in Figure 4.3.2/1 Figure 4.3.2/1 Control panel status mCDG 6000 GAS DETECTION PANEL...

Figure 4.4.2/1 Status window with the panel muting function activated 4.4.3. Event acknowledgment The mCDG 6000 features an event acknowledgement function. When an alarm is triggered or a system fault occurs, you can touch the RESET/ACKNOWLEDGE button to silence the panel. The function is active for 30 minutes or until a new event occurs. The yellow LED next to the button will light up then.
The supervisory line connector designations are shown in Table 5.3/1. Table 5.3/1 Description of the supervision line connector Name Function Line start Loop return input Shielding connector mCDG 6000 GAS DETECTION PANEL...
ID-E384-001GB 5.4. Connection of AKC-6000 module In order to integrate the SDG 6000 system (with the mCDG 6000 control panel) with POLON 6000, an additional AKC-6000 module should be used. The AKC connector is intended for making the connec- tion. The designations of that connector are described in Table 5.4/1. The power supply of the device has been limited to 50mA.
The control panel is equipped with a freely configurable universal output. The operation mode should be selected from the configurator level on the control panel settings tab. The available options are shown in Figure 5.8/1. Figure 5.8/1 Universal line settings window. mCDG 6000 GAS DETECTION PANEL...

The control panel has two universal relay outputs for controlling external devices. Relay outputs are potential-free and can operate with DC or AC current. Table 5.10/1 shows the description of the relay contacts. Name Function Normally open contact (OFF) Common contact Normally-closed contact (ON) mCDG 6000 GAS DETECTION PANEL...
ID-E384-001GB 6. Configuring and programming the control panel Configuration and programming of the mCDG 6000 control panel is performed using the mCDG6000 Configurator PC application. mCDG6000 Configurator allows: configuring control panel operation parameters, including: saving configuration to a file reading configuration from a file...
In the left part of the tab there is a menu with system elements that can be configured. These elements are grouped into categories: - Detectors, - Inputs, - Outputs, - Output control - Setting up the control panel - Zones. Figure 6.1/1 Window with empty configuration tab mCDG 6000 GAS DETECTION PANEL...
In this mode, you decide only whether a short-circuit state and a break state should cause a fault indication. The activation supervision mode is designed to supervise panel-controlled devices. This makes it possible to continuously check external devices and report information about their malfunctioning. In mCDG 6000 GAS DETECTION PANEL...
The settings for the pulse controlling the shut-off valve must be as recommended by the manufacturer of the valve being controlled. Failure to do so may result in valve ineffectiveness or damage. The unit does not allow direct connection of a shut-off valve due to insufficient current output capacity. mCDG 6000 GAS DETECTION PANEL...

7. Installation The mCDG 6000 control panel must be mounted on the wall using a DIN rail. After placing the unit in its intended location, check whether the three latches are pushed all the way in so that the control panel is properly fastened.
Check the condition of the wire connections at the terminals at least once a year. A well-functioning control panel, which is regularly subjected to periodical inspections, does not require special maintenance. It is advisable, from time to time, to vacuum the external surface of the panel. mCDG 6000 GAS DETECTION PANEL...
In case of prolonged storage, disconnect the battery and connect the control panel to the power supply for 1 hour every 6 months, checking its correct operation. During storage the unit should not be exposed to heat radiation, sunlight or the impact of heating devices. mCDG 6000 GAS DETECTION PANEL...
The works may be considered completed if the above-mentioned activities have been carried out and correct functioning of all system devices and control panel operation in the detection state (without fault signaling) has been found. – the system can be handed over to the user.
