1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 General Information The DVP-120 Gas Detection and Ventilation Control Panel is a microcomputer based control panel used to operate ventilation fans based on the inputs from remotely mounted gas transducers. The unit is fully tested prior to leaving the factory, and is ready for operation after the wiring is complete and the user system configuration is entered.
Extra sensors may be needed near areas where people work, such as toll booths. 2. Macurco provides only the control panels and sensors. Fans, relays, and other devices are provided by the contractor. 3. See the appropriate building code for the size of fans and air changes per unit of time.
ARE LIMITED TO A PERIOD OF TWO (2) YEARS FROM THE PURCHASE DATE. Macurco shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages for breach of this or any other warranty express or implied, arising out of or related to the use of the control panel. Manufacturer or its agent’s liability shall be limited to replacement or repair as set forth above.
2.1 Mounting the DVP-120 Mounting holes are provided in the DVP-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. Conduit entry holes are provided on the top, bottom and right side of the panel.
2.3 Main power Connection The main power cable should be routed into the bottom left conduit entry. Macurco recommends a minimum wire size of AWG18. The modular connector will accept wire from 12 to 24 AWG. The safety ground wire should be secured to the ground stud at the bottom left of the cabinet with the lock washer and nut supplied.
Each 8-terminal sensor modular connector may be disconnected from the PCB connector to ease wire installation. The terminals will accept wire from 16 to 28 AWG. To install a wire, strip back approximately 0.25 in. (6 mm) of insulation, and insert the bare wire into the terminal. Tighten the screw clamp and ensure that the wire cannot be easily pulled from the connector.
2.5 Relay Connection All poles of the three relays are available at the modular connector J2 (see Figure 2-2 for details). J2 is a 9- position variant of the high voltage modular connector used for power input. Each terminal can accommodate a wire size 12 to 24 AWG.
2.6 Horn & Strobe Connection The external horn and strobe connections are available at the modular connector J5 (see Figure 2-3 for details). J5 as a 4-position connector, similar to the sensor interface connectors. To install the wiring for the horn or strobe, disconnect the connector from the header on the PCB. Strip the insulation of each wire back approximately 0.25 in.
2.7 Interfacing Macurco Sensors All Macurco CO, NO2 and combustible gas sensors with current loop outputs may be used with the DVP-120. Data sheets for the Macurco sensors listed in Table 2-8 are provided as an appendix to this manual.
3.1 Initial Operating Mode When power is first applied to the DVP-120, a few simple tests will be performed, e.g. 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 (Figure 3-3) is used to select the information displayed and to enter the configuration parameters, which are stored in the DVP-120 non-volatile memory. The keypad consists of the usual ten digit keys, the normal 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.
S h o w In this example, the first digit entered was 1. Since the DVP-120 can handle 12 sensors, the first digit for a sensor number is either 0 or 1. The leading zero must be entered when selecting a sensor less than ten. When the second digit is entered, the normal display will be restored;...
A L A R M S I L E N C E D F O R If Relay 1 has be configured as an ALARM relay it will be turned on when an alarm condition is recognized and will be turned off when all audio indicators have been silenced. Silencing applies to the cause(s) of the alarm when the HUSH key is pressed.
The ventilation control function operates independently from the alarm function. It provides the ability to configure the DVP-120 for control of one to three zones. Each zone can respond to gas levels indicated by one or more of the three types of sensors, with configurable turn on and turn off concentrations for each gas type.
While the DVP-120 is in the configuration mode, alarm and ventilation control functions continue in the background with the previously set configuration values. In particular, 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.
3.3.1 System Menu The top menu level allows the user to select: – Configure System – Configure Sensors – Configure Relays, Horn & Strobe – Configure Zones – Configure Signals The up and down cursor keys can be used to scroll through the entries in the list, while the left or right key will enter the particular submenu.
3.3.2.2 Set Day of Week T i m e : D a y : 2 This display example shows that Tuesday is the current day of the week. The underline character indicates that the day can be changed by entering the corresponding digit: –...
3.3.2.4 Enter Password This display shows that the password is 4 digits long. When the first digit is entered, the panel will show. If the password is not entered correctly the panel will display W r o n g Once the current password has been entered, the panel will prompt for the configuration parameter being changed.
3.3.3 Configure Sensors Submenu There is a list of parameters for each sensor in the system, either currently wired or configured but presently disconnected. The left and right cursor keys can be used to move from one sensor to another; doing so always goes to the first display (summary).
3.3.3.4 Warning Set Point S e n s o r W a r n i n g : The default warning levels for the sensors are: – Carbon Monoxide – Nitrogen Dioxide – Combustible Setting a warning level of 0 (zero) will disable warning detection for this particular sensor. 3.3.3.5 Range S e n s o r R a n g e :...
3.3.4 Configure Relays, Horn & Strobe Submenu There is a list of parameters for each relay in the system. The left and right cursor keys can be used to move from one relay, horn or strobe to another. Doing so always goes to the first (summary) display. The up and down keys will scroll through the parameters for the particular relay, horn or strobe.
3.3.5 Configure Horn Submenu The configuration parameters for the horn are the same as those for relays. A horn would not normally require a minimum on time but this parameter allows a more versatile configuration. 3.3.5.1 Horn Summary H o r n D e l a y This display example shows that the horn has been configured to operate Normally Off, with a turn on delay and no minimum on time.
3.3.6 Configure Strobe Submenu The configuration parameters for the strobe are the same as those for relays. A strobe would not normally require a minimum on time but this parameter allows a more versatile configuration. 3.3.6.1 Strobe Summary S t r o b e 5 D e l a y This display example shows that the strobe has been configured to operate Normally Off, with a turn on delay and no minimum on time.
3.3.7 Configure Zones Submenu The DVP-120 ventilation control can support up to three zones. The zone functionality makes the DVP-120 very flexible. For example, each zone can be configured to monitor a separate set of 4 sensors and control a single relay.

3.3.8 Configure Signals Submenu The DVP-120 can drive the buzzer, horn and strobe with different sound patterns to indicate the severity of the current conditions. These patterns are selectable by the installer using this group of submenus. Once again, the left and right keys will scroll through the signal types and the up and down keys will scroll to the signal sources.

3.3.8.12 Trouble Strobe Signal T r o u b l e S t r o b e : 5 This display example shows that the strobe will not signal a trouble condition. The signal definitions are: – Continuous – Intermittent, one second on at two second intervals –...
(depending on the type of sensor), the button on the interior front panel of the unit. Macurco 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 exists.
The DVP-120 starts up as soon as power is applied to the microcontroller, and the DVP-120 is designed to have power continuously applied to the unit. An external indication of successful power application to the unit is the immediate operation of the Status Lamps grouped around the LCD.
