SECTION 4. OPERATION
4.1 Overview of Normal Operation
Before leaving the instrument for normal operation, check the configuration for proper settings and check calibration.
WARNING
4.1.1 Applying Power and the Start-up Sequence
After applying power, the instrument will go through a start-up sequence (LED test, software version, and initialization) and start the warm-up period. The power LED will blink and, by default, the display will remain blank. To enable the display of gas type and concentration, use parameter P1-01 which will cause the display to toggle between the target gas name and a value of “0” for the sensor in warm-up.
See section 4.4.6: Display Mode (P1-01) on page 35.
The instrument output will be OFFLINE (see section 4.3.1: Offline Mode (F-01) on page 25). If two
sensors are installed, both target gas names and “0”s will be toggled sequentially.
NOTICE
Note that sensor warm-up times may be different for dual sensor configurations. The power LED will continue to blink as long as at least one sensor is in warm-up.
18 P/N: 1100-1000 Version 1
MGS-550 Fixed Gas Detector
After the warm-up period, the instrument begins normal operation. The display toggles between the current gas concentration and target gas name.
During normal operation, the left green LED is lit solid. Depending on the unit of measurement, the green
LED for ppm or %LEL is lit. If both of these LED are off, the unit of measurement is Vol%.
All configurations must be checked at least initially, and the calibration must be checked initially and as needed.
4.1.2 Verifying Analog Signals
During normal operation the current output of the instrument is proportional to the detected gas concentration and can be selected from the following.
• 4 to 20 mA
• 0 to 5 V
• 1 to 5 V
• 0 to 10V
• 2 to 10 V
The MGS-550 uses different current values to indicate various modes of operation. See section 9.1:
General Specifications on page 62 for additional information.
4.1.3 Verifying the Digital Modbus Signal
The MGS-550 provides a Modbus RTU digital interface. All status messages and most parameters which can be accessed and/or configured through the menu can also be accessed and/or configured via a
4.1.4 The 5-Digit Display and LEDs
In normal operation, the 5-digit, 7-segment LED display toggles between the gas name (CO
2
in this example, and the measured gas concentration (291 ppm in this example).
In addition, the following special symbols and unique messages may also be displayed during operation of the instrument.
P/N: 1100-1000 Version 1 19
MGS-550 Fixed Gas Detector
Symbol/Message Description
The measuring range of the sensor has been exceeded (“upper hockey sticks” symbol).
The sensor drifted negative (<0) (“lower hockey sticks” symbol).
If a fault has been detected, the display toggles between gas name and
"Exxx", and the green power LED is off. "E100" indicates a critical fault and "E300" indicates a non-critical fault. A non-critical fault does not need immediate attention, but should be mitigated at the next scheduled
maintenance (see section 5: Maintenance on page 36). If a relay has
been designated to the critical fault, it is asserted.
E400 is a configuration warning that happens after a second sensor is added to warn the user that the sensor is not driving any relays or analog outputs.
When the first alarm has been triggered, the display will toggle between gas name, "A1" and current gas concentration. If a relay has been designated to the first alarm, it is asserted.
When the second alarm has been triggered the display will toggle between gas name, "A2" and current gas concentration. If a relay has been designated to the second alarm, it is asserted.
When the third alarm has been triggered the display will toggle between gas name, "A3" and current gas concentration. If a relay has been designated to the third alarm, it is asserted.
The instrument is offline. See section 4.3.1: Offline Mode (F-01) on page 25.
The first character represents an “M”. This is found in the Modbus
parameters (MB-xx). Refer to section 4.4.5: Modbus Configuration (MBxx) on page 35.
This is a confirmation that is displayed before a sensor is registered.
Tap [ENTER] to confirm registration of sensor 1 or registration of sensor
2. For more information, refer to section 4.3.6: Register Sensor (F-06) on page 26.

The relay test changes the state of each relay. Use the [UP] / [DOWN] key to toggle the relay. Tap [ENTER] to test the next relay. Tap [i] to exit the function.
Note that c hanging the state of the relays can trigger alarms in connected equipment.
The analog output test allows you to set the output for interface test purposes
(e.g., to check the programming of a central controller).
Tapping [ENTER] will set the analog output to the level equivalent to zero gas.
For a 4 to 20 mA configuration this output will be 4 mA; for a 1 to 5 V configuration this output will be 1 V; and so on. Use the [UP] / [DOWN] key to change the value of the zero output.
After tapping [ENTER], the analog output will be set to full scale. Use the [UP] /
[DOWN] key to adjust the value of the full-scale output.
NOTICE
Changing the analog outputs can trigger alarms in connected equipment.
3 Display
The display test lights up all segments and LEDs.
4.3.5 Parameter Menu (F-05)
Use this function to access the parameter menu. See section 4.2.4: Menu Overview on page 23 and
section 4.4: Parameters on page 29 for detailed information.
4.3.6 Register Sensor (F-06)
Function F-06 is used to register a new sensor without having to cycle power.
In general, sensor registration is the association of parameters in the instrument to the set in the sensor.
Registration occurs at the factory for the local sensor and is based on the sensor configuration that is ordered. If the sensor configuration must be changed (e.g., changing a sensor type or adding a second sensor), then the new sensor must be registered.
CAUTION
Before unplugging ANY sensor, it must be de-registered using function F-07.
Failure to do this will require you to de-register all sensors using F-08 (with the sensors still connected to the main electronics), remove the sensors, and then re-install and reregister the sensors one at a time using function F-06.
If the sensors are not connected when an F-08 is performed, then their node addresses will not be reset. Refer to CAUTION on the following page.
Generally, a new sensor is discovered and registered automatically when the following occurs:
• power is shut off
• the new sensor is connected, and
• power is then restored.
For example, if you wish to add a second sensor to a previously installed single-sensor system, simply turn off power, add the new sensor to the available (previously unoccupied) sensor connector, and turn on power. Upon power up, the instrument will recognize and register the new sensor that you installed in the previously unfilled slot.
If it is inconvenient or impractical to cycle power to automatically register a new sensor, then the process is performed manually using the Register Sensor function F-06.
26 P/N: 1100-1000 Version 1
MGS-550 Fixed Gas Detector
CAUTION
New sensors all have address 100. The first sensor registered will be sensor #1 and the second sensor #2.
Resetting sensor registration through F-08 will reset them all to 100; then they need to be registered one at a time.
To register a newly added sensor, select F-06 and tap [ENTER]. There are 3 possible scenarios.
Scenario
Sensor is already registered
Normal registration/ adding a sensor
Address conflict
Description
If there is already one sensor connected and it has already been registered, the
F-06 display is shown after a brief delay.
If the newly added sensor was previously unregistered or de-registered (i.e., address 100), “reg 1” or “reg 2” will be displayed (depending on the configuration).
Tap [ENTER] to confirm registration of the sensor. “PASS1” or “PASS2” will be displayed.
If a sensor was previously registered in an instrument, was not de-registered, was removed, and then plugged in to a different instrument, then a critical fault (E100 error) will occur.
Refer to function F-08 to resolve.
4.3.7 De-register One Sensor (F-07)
This function resets the registration of a sensor and changes a 2-sensor system to a 1-sensor system.
Removing a sensor without first de-registering it will result in a fault. Always de-register a sensor before permanently removing it.
NOTICE
Tap [ENTER] to display the unique sensor identifier (UID). Use the [UP] / [DOWN] keys to select the
sensor to be removed. After tapping [ENTER], the sensor can be disconnected. See section 5.4: Sensor
Maintenance on page 44 for information.
A sensor’s user-editable parameters (e.g., alarm setpoints, etc.) are not retained after it is de-registered. If a sensor is registered again, all parameters will be set to their factory default values.
NOTICE
4.3.8 De-register All Sensors and Reset Node Address (F-08)
Two sensors connected to the instrument that have the same node address will result in a fault. Function
F-08 can be used to recover from this situation by resetting the registration of all sensors and resetting their node addresses to 100.
• Tap [ENTER]. The instrument will show “Reset”
.
• Tap [ENTER] to confirm reset. Instrument will show a second confirmation (“sure”).
• Tap [ENTER] again to reset the node address. “Pass” will be displayed.
• Unplug the sensors.
• Plug in one sensor and register it. See section 4.3.6: Register Sensor (F-06) on page 26.
• Plug in second sensor and register it.
Be sure to plug in the sensors and re-register them one at a time to avoid address conflicts.
P/N: 1100-1000 Version 1 27
MGS-550 Fixed Gas Detector
CAUTION
Before unplugging ANY sensor, it must be de-registered using function F-07.
Failure to do this will require you to de-register all sensors using F-08 (with the sensors still connected to the main electronics), remove the sensors, and then re-install and reregister the sensors one at a time using function F-06.
If the sensors are not connected when an F-08 is performed, then their node addresses will not be reset.
4.3.9 Diagnostics, System Information and Fault Data (F-09)
This function will display any diagnostics and fault codes.
• Tap [ENTER] to initiate the function.
• Use the [UP] / [DOWN] keys to select a diagnostics code.
• After tapping [ENTER], the respective code will be displayed.
See section 5.3: Troubleshooting on page 39 for additional information.
NOTICE
The diagnostics attributes can be accessed directly during normal operation by tapping and holding [UP] for more than 3 seconds.
4.3.10 Reset System to Factory Default Setting (F-10)
6: Factory Default Settings on page 57 for a list.
Resetting the system to its factory default values will not reset sensor calibrations.
NOTICE
NOTICE
Function F-10 resets all parameters (except sensor registration information) to their
factory default values (see Factory Default Settings on page 57). Before executing this
function, consider recording all parameter settings in case you wish to reset one or more of them to their former values.
• Tap [ENTER] to initiate this function. A "SURE" confirmation prompt is given.
• Tap [ENTER] to confirm the reset.
• All LED segments will light up for 3 seconds.
• Parameter settings will change to factory default values.
• The internal buzzer will sound for 3 seconds.
• After another 3 seconds the instrument will return to the main menu.
After an F-10 system reset, the instrument will be in a “known state”, and the parameters can be set.

MGS-550 Fixed Gas Detector
NOTICE
A fixed hysteresis of 5% of full scale is set in order to avoid chatter at an alarm threshold.
For all instruments except oxygen, the alarm occurs on gas concentrations that increase beyond the set-points.
NOTICE
For all instruments monitoring oxygen, the low and medium alarms occur on concentrations that decrease below the set-points. The high alarm occurs on gas concentrations that increase beyond the set-point. This permits the detection of oxygen displacement and enrichment scenarios.
30 P/N: 1100-1000 Version 1
NOTICE
MGS-550 Fixed Gas Detector
Alarm hierarchy exists. An A2 alarm overrides an A1 alarm on the display. However, the
A1 and A2 states operate independently. An example follows.
• A1 is acknowledgeable
• A2 is not acknowledgeable
• The gas concentration is such that it triggers A1 and A2
Acknowledging will cause the A1 relay to release. However, the display will still show an
A2 alarm as long as the A2 condition continues to exist. The same is true for A3 and A2.
NOTICE
Latching and acknowledgment settings of alarms may be combined to create unique scenarios.
• Latching means that once the alarm level is reached, the instrument will trigger the alarm and it will remain in alarm status even if the gas concentration subsequently does not meet the alarm condition any more. To clear a latching alarm it has to be acknowledged by tapping and holding [ENTER] for more than 3 seconds.
• Non-latching means that the alarm status clears if the gas concentration does not meet the alarm condition anymore.
• Acknowledgeable means that the alarm relay can be reset before the alarm condition clears.
• Not acknowledgeable means that the alarm relay cannot be reset until the alarm condition clears.

Fault).
Relay 1 configured as 01 (Sensor 1 Low Alarm)
Relay 2 configured as 06 (Sensor 2 Medium Alarm)
Relay 3 configured as 13 (Any Sensor Fault or Instrument Electronics Critical
In this configuration, the following would occur:
• Relay 1 will activate when the low alarm of sensor 1 is triggered
• Relay 2 will activate when the medium alarm of sensor 2 is triggered
• Relay 3 will activate when any sensor or instrument fault occurs (either sensor).
It is possible to dedicate the same alarm configuration to multiple relays. For example, sensor 1 high alarm could be mapped to relay 1 and relay 2 (for redundancy).
CAUTION
With integrated relays, the instrument can be operated stand-alone without a central controller (with additional local alarm signaling). It is recommended to designate one relay as fault relay (e.g., configuration 13).

with a min and max of 4,000 ppm and
20,000 ppm, respectively.
To select full scale deflection as 10,000 ppm, set this parameter to 50%. The analog output will be linear between 4 mA (= 0 ppm) and 20 mA (= 10,000 ppm). However, the resolution of the sensor stays at the value for the max range.

* Maintenance intervals must be established for each individual installation. Depending on safety considerations, application-specific conditions, and local regulations, the 6-month maintenance intervals might need to be shortened.
5.2 Making Adjustments to Sensors
5.2.1 Introduction
Adjustment of the instrument must be performed at regular intervals as detailed above.
WARNING
Breathing Hazard: Calibration gas must not be inhaled! See appropriate Material
Safety Data Sheets. Calibration gas should be vented into a fume hood or to the outside of the building.
WARNING
Zero First, Then Span: For proper operation, never adjust the span before completing a zero adjustment. Performing these operations out of order will cause faulty calibration.
WARNING
Bacharach recommends calibrating instruments within the application-specific condition and with target gas. This method of zeroing the instrument in the application environment and performing a target gas calibration is more accurate. A surrogate gas calibration may only be performed as an alternative if a target gas calibration is not possible.
NOTICE
The sensor should be fully warmed-up (refer to section 4.1.1: Applying Power and the
Start-up Sequence on page 18).
36 P/N: 1100-1000 Version 1
MGS-550 Fixed Gas Detector
NOTICE
When entering the functions F-02 (zero adjustment) or F-03 (span adjustment), the instrument will automatically enter OFFLINE mode. The instrument will remain OFFLINE
until either the OFFLINE mode is canceled using function F-01 (see section 4.3.1: Offline
Mode (F-01) on page 25), or the OFFLINE mode times out within 30 minutes after the
adjustment has ended. This is to avoid false alarms caused by residual cal gas.
If the adjustment has not been completed, the instrument will abort the zero or span adjustment after 5 minutes of the last of interaction. No new data will be saved and the instrument remains OFFLINE.
•
5.2.2 General Procedure
• Ensure the instrument has been powered on for at least 1 hour prior to beginning the sensor adjustment procedure. For semiconductor sensors, you must wait at least 24 hours.
• Attach the pressure regulator to the calibration gas cylinder.
• Attach tubing to the pressure regulator.
• Attach calibration adapter to the tubing.
• For the general purpose type sensors (see figure below), connect the tubing to the calibration port
(the barbed fitting) of the splash guard.
• Push the calibration adapter over the sensing head assembly.
• The gas flow should be approximately 0.3 to 1.0 L/min.
• Access the appropriate function (as needed) and begin the zero, span, or bump test.
If the intended operation is at higher altitudes, the factory calibration will result in a reading that is lower than the reading at sea level (a result of reduced partial pressure).
A new span adjustment is recommended if the altitude or the ambient pressure is changed. The factory calibration is set to sea level.

5.2.3 Zero Adjustment
WARNING
Ambient air can be used to zero the sensor instead of nitrogen or synthetic air only if the area is known to be free of the target gas or any gas to which the sensor may be crosssensitive (as listed on the sensor data sheet). In this case, no cylinder or calibration adapter is needed for the zero adjustment. For semiconductor sensors, you must use synthetic air only.
WARNING
For oxygen (O
2
) and carbon dioxide (CO
2
) sensors, use only nitrogen (N
2
) gas.
A sensor must be re-zeroed if it shows underflow saturation.

• For oxygen, ensure that the concentration is below the enrichment alarm thresholds.
• Tap [ENTER] to exit the function.
5.2.5 System Bump Test
A system bump test is a live test of a system to verify that the instrument responds to gas and that all connected alarm devices, controllers, etc. are operating appropriately. In this case, be sure to inform all involved persons about the test and that certain alarms might have to be inhibited (e.g., process shutdown, notification of authorities, etc.)
38 P/N: 1100-1000 Version 1
MGS-550 Fixed Gas Detector
• Apply target gas; if required a sufficiently high concentration (low concentration for oxygen displacement) to trigger alarms.
• The display will show the current gas concentration value.
• Once the alarm thresholds are exceeded, verify that all designated gas alarm relays are activated and the analog and digital outputs properly transmitted the corresponding gas concentrations.
• Turn off gas flow and remove the calibration adapter from the sensor or disconnect the tubing.

5.3.4 Non-Critical (E300) Faults
Non-critical faults are indicated by “E 300” on the display. Non-critical faults indicate issues such as environmental conditions being outside of specification, an installation error has occurred (wrong wiring, for example), and so on.
The gas detector will continue to monitor, but may produce less accurate readings and may not respond correctly to gas alarm events. A non-critical fault might not need immediate attention, but should be mitigated at the next scheduled maintenance (at the latest). See D-01 and D-02.

5.3.5 Sensor Faults
NOTICE
If a sensor fault occurs during a gas alarm condition, then the fault overrides the alarm condition for that sensor (i.e., the alarm state(s) for that sensor “de-assert” and the display shows “E 100”). Similarly, if a critical fault occurs, then all active alarm conditions will “de-assert”.
Sensor faults (for diagnostic attributes D-07 to D-10) may be decoded using the following table. Note that
several faults may be reported at the same time (see section 5.3.1:
Hexadecimal Format
more information). For example, fault code “0003” is a combination of fault codes 0001 (No sensor signal) and 0002 (sensor board hardware fault). See D-07 through D-10.
NOTICE
If a “last fault” attribute (D-08 or D-10) indicates that a fault has occurred at some point in time, but the corresponding “current fault” attribute (D-07 or D-09) shows no fault, then the problem has self-healed and no service action is required.

SECTION 7. SENSOR PRINCIPLE
7.1 Electrochemical Sensors
Electrochemical sensors measure the partial pressure of gases under atmospheric conditions. The monitored ambient air diffuses through a membrane into the liquid electrolyte in the sensor. The electrolyte contains a measuring electrode, a counter-electrode and a reference electrode. An electronic
“potentiostat” circuit ensures a constant electrical voltage between measuring electrode and reference electrode. Voltage, electrolyte, and electrode material are selected to suit the gas being monitored so that it is transformed electrochemically on the measuring electrode and a current flows through the sensor.
This current is proportional to the gas concentration. At the same time, oxygen from the ambient air reacts at the counter electrode electrochemically. The current flowing through the sensor is amplified electronically, digitized and corrected for several parameters (e.g., the ambient temperature).
7.2 Catalytic Bead Sensors
A catalytic bead sensor measures the partial pressure of combustible gases and vapors in ambient air. It uses the heat-of-combustion principle.
The monitored air diffuses through the sintered metal disc into the sensor. The mixture of combustible gases, vapors, and air are catalytically combusted at a heated detector element (called a pellistor). The oxygen content in the air must be greater than 12 Vol%. Due to the resulting heat-of-combustion, the temperature of the detector element rises. This increase in temperature causes a change of resistance in the detector element, which is proportional to the concentration of the mixture of combustible gases and vapors in the monitored air. In addition to the catalytically active detector element, there is a compensator element. Both elements are parts of a Wheatstone bridge. Thus environmental effects like changes in ambient temperature or humidity are almost entirely compensated.
NOTICE
Certain substances in the atmosphere to be monitored may impair the sensitivity of the sensors. Such substances include, but are not limited to:
1. Polymerizing substances such as acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene,
2. Corrosive compounds such as halogenated hydrocarbons (releasing halogens such as bromine, chlorine or fluorine when oxidized) and halogen hydride acids as well as acidic gaseous compounds such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides,
3. Catalyst poisons such as sulfurous and phosphorous compounds, silicon compounds (especially silicones), and metal-organic vapors.
It may be necessary to check the calibration if the sensor has been exposed for a long time to a high concentration of flammable gases, vapors, or the above-mentioned contaminating substances.
7.3 Semiconductor Sensors
Semiconductor or metallic oxide sensors (MOSs) are among the most versatile of all broad-range sensors. They can be used to detect a variety of gases and vapors in low ppm or even combustible ranges. The sensor is made up of a mixture of metallic oxides. They are heated to a temperature between
150º and 300º C depending on the gas(es) to be detected. The temperature of operation as well as the
“recipe” of mixed oxides determines the sensor selectivity to various toxic gases, vapors, and refrigerants.
Electrical conductivity greatly increases as soon as a diffusion process allows the gas or vapor molecules to come in contact with the sensor surface. Water vapor, high ambient humidity, temperature fluctuations, and low oxygen levels can result in higher readings.
P/N: 1100-1000 Version 1 59
MGS-550 Fixed Gas Detector
NOTICE
Certain substances in the environment to be monitored may impair the sensitivity of the sensors:
1. Materials containing silicone or silicone rubber/putty
2. Corrosive gases such as hydrogen sulfide, sulfur oxide, chlorine, hydrogen chloride, etc.
3. Alkaline metals, salt water spray.
7.4 Infrared Sensors
The infrared (IR) gas sensor is designed to measure the concentration of combustible gases and vapors in the ambient air. The sensor principle is based on the concentration-dependent absorption of infrared radiation in measured gases.
The monitored ambient air diffuses through a sintered metal material into the housing of an optical
“bench”. The broadband light emitted by an IR source passes through the gas in the optical bench and is reflected by the walls from where it is directed towards a dual-element detector. One channel of the detector measures the gas-dependent light transmission, while the other channel is used as a reference.
The ratio between measurement and reference signal is used to determine the gas concentration. Internal electronics and software calculate the concentration and produce an output signal.

Description
Analog Output Zero Test. Setting this to one drives the analog outputs to their minimum value. This depends on the configuration of the analog output.
• For 4-20mA it will drive 4mA
• For all voltage ranges it will drive 0V
During the test the Modbus flag will remain
ON. When the test is completed the flag will turn OFF
Display Test Mode. Setting this sets all 7segment display segments, power LED and both units LEDs active simultaneously for 5 seconds. At the end the display will revert to normal operation.
During the test the Modbus flag will remain
ON. When the test is completed the flag will turn OFF. This test is only operative outside the menus.
