  • Page 27: Current Loop Wiring

    To use the current loop correctly, it must be supplied with 24 VDC as shown in the following figure. Figure 2: Current loop connection 2.1.4 RS485 Modbus-RTU connection The RGQ 5 is designed for both full-duplex (4-wire) and half-duplex (2-wire) RS485 Modbus. Danger When installing in hazardous areas, make sure that the housing potential is balanced.

  • Page 28: Operation

    3 Operation The RGQ 5 has no external or internal switches. By connecting wire 1 to +24 VDC and wire 2 to -24 VDC (as described in the table under section 2.9 "Electrical con- nection"), the RGQ 5 automatically starts operation. After approximately 3 minutes, data communication via RS485 Modbus RTU is activated and the 4-20 mA current loop provides a signal.

  • Page 29: Communication With The Rgq 5

    Communication: with the Modbus USB Windows Interface Package Communication via RMG's Modbus USB Windows interface package allows the user to operate the RGQ 5 in a plug-and-play manner. It has additional features such as creating graphs, saving output parameters in CSV format and switching reference conditions and units, applying moving averages, etc.

    °F 3.4 Calibration 4-20 mA current loop The RGQ 5 is shipped from the factory with a calibrated 4-20 mA current loop. Since the actual mA output is affected by the (custom) current loop system, it is strongly recommended to recalibrate the current loop after connecting it to your specific current loop system.

  • Page 35: Reference Conditions Of The Combustion And Measurement Values

    There is no particular reason for the metering reference conditions to be the same as the combustion reference conditions. In RGQ 5, the following reference conditions can be selected: 25/0°C, 0/0°C, 15/0°C, 15/15°C, 20/20°C, 25/20°C at 101325 Pa and 60°F at 14.65 psi, 14.696 psi, 14.73 psi, and 15.025 psi absolute.
  • Page 36 Figure 4: Reference conditions according to ISO 6976 Note The RGQ 5 provides the combustion characteristics in all commonly used measurement and reference conditions. Please ensure that the correct ref- erence conditions are selected to avoid any resulting offset between the RGQ 5 output and the comparison values (with other reference condi- tions).

  • Page 37: Maintenance & Regular Checks

    4 Maintenance & regular checks 4 Maintenance & regular checks The RGQ 5 has no moving parts, does not burn the medium flowing through it, and does not react chemically with the medium. As a result, there are minimal maintenance requirements during normal operation. The quality of the medium flowing through is not controlled.
  • Page 38 Components must be used that can withstand the maximum expected pressure levels and peaks. Observe working conditions according to data sheet RGQ 5. Interventions or modifications to the gas quality measuring device that are not described in these operating instructions are not per- mitted.

  • Page 39: Technical Data

    Danger Immediately take a damaged or unsafe instrument out of service and mark it to prevent accidental use. Have repairs carried out only by RMG or rep- resentatives authorized by RMG. Note Please check in advance whether the correct pressure is applied (valves/ball valves etc.
