    For proper use, see supervisor or User manual, or call Kele Technical Service at 877-826-9045. KGC-120 may not function effectively below 32°F (0°C) or above 120°F (49°C). Using the equipment outside of this temperature range may adversely affect product.

  • Page 6: Use Instructions And Limitations

    The KGC-120 exhaust fan controller, in conjunction with Kele™ gas detector, controller, transducers, provides automatic controls to help maintain an acceptable environment in parking garages or other facilities. The KGC-120 system is designed to meet specifications for safety in enclosed parking garages, including the Uniform Building Code and OSHA 50ppm CO requirements.

  • Page 7: Features

    ETL Listed to UL 2017 (Type SM) Where required by federal, state, local regulations or the Authority Having Jurisdiction, KGC-120 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.

    3.2 Mounting Mounting holes are provided in the KGC-120 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 2-1. The panel should be mounted with sufficient space all around for access to Conduit entry holes provided on the top, bottom and right side of the panel.

    (see the User Instructions of each sensor type for location and coverage details). Extra sensors may be needed near areas where people work, such as toll booths. Kele provides only the control panels and sensors. Fans, relays, and other devices are provided by the contractor.

  • Page 10: Power Connection

    AC power connections must be bundled with the KGC-120 sensor cables, the sensor connections should be made with two twisted pairs of the appropriate gauge, with an overall foil and braid shield. All shields should be terminated at the KGC-120 end of the cable only.

    Immediately exit any environment that causes an alarm condition on the sensor. 3.3.6 Interfacing Kele Sensors Kele sensors with current loop outputs may be used with the KGC-120. See Kele.com for information on compatible Kele gas transducers. See specific information on other manufacturer’s transducers.
  • Page 14 Power connections to Kele sensors used with the KGC-120 are polarity-insensitive (no polarity), since a bridge rectifier is connected to the power input terminals. All sensors used with the KGC-120 panel employ screw clamp terminal blocks for power and signal connections. Polarity of the current loop connections is marked on the modular connector of the sensor.

    4.1 Power up When power is first applied to the KGC-120, a few simple self-tests will be performed, and the system will cycle through all status lights, and display the system name and model # (Figure 3-1). 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 KGC-120 memory. The keypad consists of the usual 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.

  • Page 19: Trouble Status Display

    Kele Gas Controller KGC-120 Operation Manual When the HUSH key is pressed, the internal buzzer will be silenced for fifteen (15) minutes. If the horn or strobe turn on delays have not finished, then they will also be silenced. If the delays have finished, the HUSH key must be held for three (3) seconds in order to silence the horn and strobe.

  • Page 20: Ventilation Control

    Kele Gas Controller KGC-120 Operation Manual 4.7 Ventilation Control The ventilation control function operates independently from the alarm function. It provides the ability to configure the KGC- 120 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.

  • Page 21: System Menu

    While the KGC-120 is in the configuration mode, alarm and ventilation control functions continue in the background with the previously set configuration values. If an alarm condition is detected, the alarm lamp, the buzzer, the horn and the strobe will operate as configured but the LCD will not display the detailed information.

    Kele 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. Kele sensors will step the output current level from 4 mA to 20 mA over the course of the warm-up period, allowing the technician to determine where the trouble condition exists.

    When using the timed ventilation mode, the system clock should be checked regularly (at least twice a year). The battery backed real time clock in the KGC-120 does not adjust for daylight saving time so the spring and fall switch over points are good choices to check the system clock.

    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 KGC-120 display and the sensors respond. When testing the system disable the delay (set Delay Time to zero minutes/seconds).
