OVERVIEW
1.1. General Description
The GDC-350 is an economical, self-contained gas detector for non-hazardous (nonexplosion rated) commercial applications. It is available in two basic configurations:
single-sensor models and dual-sensor models. The sensors can be configured as
one of the following:
•
one on-board (A type)
•
one remote (B type)
•
one on-board and one remote (D type)
•
two on-board (E type)
A basic system provides LEDs to indicate Power, Fail, Low (Warning) Gas Alarm, and
High Gas Alarm. Also included are an integral audible alarm with door-mounted
silence push-button, audible time delay, field-settable relay time delays and two alarm
relays.
Gas-specific electrochemical sensors for toxic gases and oxygen are available, as are
MOS solid state sensors for refrigerants and TVOCs and catalytic sensors for
combustible gases. All GDC-350 on-board sensors are packaged as plug-in “smart”
sensor modules to reduce field maintenance time.

1.4. Sensor Aging and Calibration Extending Firmware (CEF)
GDC-350 systems with on-board electrochemical sensors have been programmed
with our CEF (Calibration Extending Firmware).
This firmware takes into
consideration the aging of the electrochemical CO, NO and NO2 sensors so that less
frequent calibrations are acceptable in non-critical applications such as parking
garages. The system tracks the age of the sensor and automatically compensates for
the degraded output of the sensor as it ages.

Drill out one or more of the PVC conduit entry hole plugs located at bottom left or right
or top left edge of system enclosure base. If supplying VAC operational power, pull
two wires suitable for low voltage from power source to the terminals 13 and 14. If
supplying VDC, wire to terminals 12 and 13 observing polarity.

GDC-350 Operation Manual
Figure 3-6. Improper Wiring Example
3.7. Wiring Remote Sensors (Voltage and Signal)
Three (3) conductor, 16 to 18 gauge, stranded wire is required between the control
panel and the remote catalytic or solid state sensor. Under most local electrical
codes, low voltage wires cannot not be run within the same conduit as line voltage
wires. 3-conductor, 16 to 18-gauge wire/cable must be shielded when connecting to a
remote analog transmitter. The remote analog transmitter enclosures have several
conduit entry locations (general purpose enclosure).
NOTE: DO NOT use solid-core wire for connection to wiring terminal
strip. Any damage caused by using solid-core wire will void warranty.
Use stranded wire ONLY.
The voltage supplied by the controller to the remote sensors should measure
approximately 5.0 VDC ±2%, at the remote sensor. Voltage supplied by the controller
to remote analog transmitters should measure approximately 24 VDC nominal. This
voltage is factory set at time of manufacturing. If these voltages are not attained after
installation, the wrong gauge wire may have been used or the wiring run is too long.
The maximum distance between the GDC-350 and the remote sensor is 500 feet.
The remote sensor housing has a 3/4” conduit thread and nut to allow installation in
any standard electrical junction box (to be supplied by the installer). Connect three
low voltage wires between it and the controller and observe polarity.
3.8. Wiring Relay Connections
System relays are dry contacts and designed to operate fan starters or coils to control
equipment that draws more than 5 amps start-up and/or operational current. The
system does not provide any power from these terminals. Dry contacts operate like a
switch to simply activate (switch on) or de-activate (switch off) equipment to be
controlled, such as fan starters.
NOTE: System relays are SPDT (single pole, double throw) thereby
providing one set of usable dry contacts for each relay. Because the
GDC-350 series systems are designed to be fail-safe, any equipment to
be controlled by the system relays should be wired to the “NC” Normally
closed) and “COM” (Common) terminals. The relay coils are normally
energized in non-alarm state for fail-safe operation.

3.13. Powering On the GDC-350
Upon application of power, the green LED light indicator(s) will illuminate and the LED
between CH-1 and CH-2 will be blinking but all alarms are disabled for 2 minutes for a
system warm up period. After the warm up period, the system may exhibit gas alarm
condition(s) if one or both of the sensors has not completely stabilized during the
warm up period. This is normal and the length of time the gas alarms exist is
dependent upon the length of time since the unit was last powered up and the state of
the environment it is installed in. After warm up, only the green power LED
illuminates indicating normal operation and the relays are energized indicating normal
“Fail-safe” status.
4.
CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION
4.1. General
In the event of a burned-out, damaged or missing solid state sensor element, the
controller will indicate fail condition on the front door by illumination of the red fail
LED. At this point, both system relays will have reversed state (de-energized) and
anything connected to them will be running continuously. Normal system operation
will not occur until the fault condition has been rectified. The same condition will
occur if the 4-20 mA signal from the remote transmitter is broken or interrupted.
NOTE: Fail condition overrides any system time delays that may have
been set.
16
5909-9000 Rev 3
GDC-350 Operation Manual
NOTE: Reference photo on page 1 for location of LEDs and testbuttons.
In the event of a gas build up beyond the preset low alarm trip point, the “Sen-1” LED
illuminates, the “Low” alarm level LED illuminates and the low alarm relay deenergizes activating anything controlled by it. If a time delay “ON” has been set
(internal DIP switches), then the “Low” alarm LED will “flash” indicating the time delay
has been activated and the low alarm relay will not de-energize until the delay has
timed out.
Once the low alarm relay has de-energized, it will re-energize
automatically once the gas alarm condition goes away, unless a time delay “OFF”
(minimum run time - internal DIP switches) has been programmed. The same
procedure applies to the second channel in the case of a two-channel (two-sensor)
system.
In the event of a gas build up beyond the preset high alarm trip point, the “Sen-1” LED
illuminates, the “High” alarm level LED illuminates and the high alarm relay deenergizes activating anything controlled by it. If a time delay “ON” has been set
(internal DIP switches), then the “High” alarm LED will “flash” indicating the time delay
has been activated and the high alarm relay will not de-energize until the delay has
timed out. Once the high alarm relay has de-energized, it will re-energize
automatically once the gas alarm condition has dispatched. The same procedure
applies to the second channel in the case of a two channel (two sensor) system.
NOTE: No minimum run time delay is provided for the high alarm relay.
4.2. Test Functions
A momentary test feature is provided to allow the user to test basic functionality of the
circuit. Press the UP push-button (internal) for 5 seconds, the audible alarm will beep
once to indicate it is in the 5 second test function. Release the UP push-button after
5 seconds and an automatic test function will occur.
Alternatively, use the silence push-button on the front door to perform the same
function.
The low alarm relay will de-energize and the low alarm LED on the front door will
illuminate. The low alarm relay will then re-energize while the low alarm LED stays lit
for 10 seconds.
Next, the high alarm relay will de-energize, the high alarm LED on the front door will
illuminate and the audible alarm will activate. The relay will then re-energize but the
high alarm LED and the audible alarm will stay activated for 10 seconds. After
10 seconds, everything resets to normal operating condition.
If a longer test sequence is desired, hold down the UP push-button for 10 seconds to
activate the low alarm relay, high alarm relay, low alarm LED, and high alarm LED for
15 minutes.
5909-9000 Rev 3
17
GDC-350 Operation Manual
To abort this test, press the internal “UP” push-button or the exterior silence pushbutton and everything will reset to normal operating condition.
If the GDC-350 is equipped with a digital display, it will indicate “test” during this test
period.
4.3. DIP Switch Settings
Figure 4-1. DIP Switch Settings for Alarms
DIP switches in the “UP” position are “ON”.
Fixed delay durations indicated above are factory default settings. Time
delay durations can be changed by user. See page 23.
“On” delays are enforced upon alarm relay “make” conditions.
delays are enforced upon alarm relay “break” conditions.
“Off”
If DIP switch 5 is in the “up” position, the internal audible alarm responds to whatever
commands it is given by the microprocessor in the circuit. If DIP switch 5 and DIP
switch 4 are in the “up” position, the audible alarm responds after the user preset time
18
5909-9000 Rev 3
GDC-350 Operation Manual
delay function for the audible alarm has timed out. If DIP switch 5 is in the “down”
position, the audible alarm does not respond at all.
The internal audible alarm normally activates with a steady tone when a “high” gas
alarm condition exists. The internal audible alarm normally activates with a pulsing
tone when a fault condition exists. A fault condition could consist of any of the
following:
•
•
Remote catalytic or solid state sensor failure (open loop)
Analog signal from a remote 4-20 mA transmitter is not registering with the
GDC-350.
•
Smart sensor board is not plugged into the main board.
Fault conditions automatically override the ON/OFF DIP switch “5” if it
has been set to the “DOWN” position to turn off the audible alarm.
4.4. System Jumpers
There are two banks of jumpers located directly below the DIP switches. One bank of
nine (9) jumpers/18 pins (J7) and one bank of four (4) jumpers/8 pins (J6). These
jumpers allow the user to perform a wide range of set up and calibration functions.
The following table details the jumper settings for each bank of jumpers and explains
the function enabled when these jumper positions are selected.
Always set J6 jumpers first, followed by J7 jumpers.
Jumper 4 (located on J6) is used to set custom time delays for relays
and internal audible alarm.
These functions are explained in
Section 4.6.
NOTE: In Figure 4-2, the jumper tab for both banks is covering the “P1”
position.

If the GDC-350 has been equipped with an LED digital display, set values according
to what is displayed. If the GDC-350 does not have a digital display, you will need to
attach volt meter leads to the two test points (TP1 and TP2) located just below the
high alarm relay (RLY2) on the main circuit board.
Figure 4-3. Locations of Test Points TP1 and TP2
Move the jumper on the lower bank (J6) from its resting position (P1) and place it on
the appropriate jumper position as indicated in the table on the previous page. Next,
move the J7 jumper from its resting position to the desired position. Then use the UP
or DOWN push-buttons to set the desired alarm value.
To make additional changes to the sensor selected via J6, repeat the following steps:
•
move J7 to the appropriate position
•
use the UP or DOWN push-buttons to set the desired alarm value.

Once all alarm settings have been set to desired values, move J7 back to its resting
position P1. Then move jumper J6 back to its resting position (P1) on the lower bank.
All new values will be written to the EEPROM. Refer to the flowchart below.
Figure 4-4. Jumper Settings J6 and J7
Alarm settings for GDC-350 detectors are voltage settings. The range of 0-4.0 VDC is
equal to the full measurement range of the sensor. For example, a CO sensor has a
standard measurement range of 0-200 ppm—therefore, 4.0 VDC = 200 ppm.
Reference the formula below and the table on page 23.

4.6. Relay Time Delays
The GDC-350 offers a wide range of time delay settings that are user configurable. If
the GDC-350 has been equipped with the LED digital display, read the values on the
display as you change them to suit your application. If the GDC-350 does not have a
digital display, you will need a volt meter. The voltage reference is 0-4 VDC.
Attach the volt meter leads to the two test points (TP1 and TP2) located just below the
high alarm relay (RLY2) on the main circuit board.

Move the jumper on the lower bank (J6) from its resting position (P1) to P4. This is
the system configuration position. Next, select the jumper position on upper bank J7
to achieve the desired function. Reference the table on page 20 for appropriate
jumper position locations.
Once the desired jumper position has been achieved, use the UP or DOWN pushbuttons to make changes. Once the desired time delays have been set, move jumper
back to resting position (P1) of the upper bank (J7). If additional time delays are
desired, move the jumper to the appropriate position and once again use the pushbuttons to set desired voltage to achieve desired time delay.

4.7. Temperature Display – Unit of Measure
The GDC-350 systems all have an on-board temperature chip from which information
is used to temperature compensate certain sensors. This temperature chip can also
be used as a second sensor in applications where the user requires both a gas
measurement and a temperature measurement. To switch between Celsius and
Fahrenheit displayed values, follow this procedure.
Move the jumper from the resting position (P1) on the lower bank (J6) to P4 and the
jumper on J7 to P8. Pressing the UP push-button will display the temperature in
Celsius and the output between test points TP1 and TP2 is 4.0 V. If the DOWN pushbutton is pressed, the temperature is displayed in Fahrenheit and the output between
the test points is 0 V.
Once the desired unit of measure has been achieved, move the jumper back to P1 on
the lower bank (J6). At that point, all new settings will be written to the EEPROM.
NOTE: The temperature sensor is always considered channel 2
(remote).
4.8. Latching Relay Function
The GDC-350 relays can be configured as “latching” for some applications.
To achieve this, move the jumper from resting position (P1) on the lower bank jumper
set (J6) to P4. This is the system configuration position. Next, move the jumper to P9
on the upper bank (J7).
Pressing the UP push-button activates the latching function and the output between
test points TP1 and TP2 is 4 V. Pressing the DOWN push-button de-activates the
latching function and the output between test points TP1 and TP2 is 0 V.
Once the desired latching or non-latching function has been achieved, move the
jumper back to P1 on upper bank (J7) and move the jumper back to P1 on lower bank
(J6). At that point, all new settings will be written to the EEPROM.

CALIBRATION
NOTE: During any calibration procedure, if the instrument sounds with
repetitive beeps, the sensor is not settling within tolerance (1% for catalytic
and solid-state sensors, 20% for electrochemical sensors). Contact
Bacharach support for additional information.
5.1. Calibration Specifications
Gas: Calibration span gases should be at least ±5% accuracy and have a current date
stamp. Gas generators should have a current dated cell installed. Service personnel
should flow zero emissions air or 20.9% volume oxygen before attempting to null
adjust toxic gas sensors. In some cases N2 (nitrogen) can be substituted for zero air.
Nitrogen is required to null (zero) oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) sensors.
Exception: If the service person is confident of air quality and is careful (do not exhale
in the direction of the oxygen sensor being serviced while span adjusting), oxygen in
the breathing environment can be used as a fairly accurate source of span gas
(20.9% volume). It is not recommended to use this procedure for span adjustments of
oxygen sensors.
Regulators and Flow: Calibration gases that are lighter than or the same weight as air
(CO, O2, etc.) should be flowed at 0.5 LPM. Gases heavier than air (NO2, etc.) should
be flowed between 0.5 and 1.0 LPM. Fixed flow regulators provide more accuracy.
Gases should be flowed over the sensor for at least 2.5 to 4.0 minutes. Carbon
Monoxide sensors settle out very quickly, but sensors for reactive gases (NH3, etc.)
will take longer to stabilize to the calibration gas. All cylinder regulators supplied by
Bacharach use a fixed flow orifice.
Adapters: The proper calibration adapter should be utilized to allow the gas to
properly diffuse around the sensor. They are available from Bacharach. A
humidification chamber must be utilized for all solid state sensors except ammonia.
This is also available form Bacharach. (See table on page 34 for ordering
information.)
5.2. Frequency Recommendations
Sensor Types / Applications
Calibration Frequency
Parking garage detectors
Once every 12 months
OHS (Occupational Health and Safety) applications
Once every 6 months
For the purposes of safety in OHS applications, sensors should be gas tested (e.g.,
bump tested) once every month to confirm response.
IMPORTANT: In applications where life safety is critical, equipment should
be calibrated quarterly or on a more frequent basis. Bacharach is not
responsible for setting safety practices and policies. Safe work procedures
including calibration policies are best determined by company policy,
industry standards, and local codes.
5909-9000 Rev 3
27
GDC-350 Operation Manual
NOTE: It is recommended that a calibration label should be applied after
every calibration to confirm work performed and the date it was confirmed.
If a controller is involved, the alarm set points should be indicated on a label
on the front door of the enclosure.
Calibration is achieved at the GDC-350 controller if the sensor is on board. If the
sensor is remote (i.e., a GDC-150 analog transmitter) the calibration is achieved at
the transmitter using the procedure indicated in its operation manual.
Required Equipment:
•
Volt meter
•
Calibration kit
•
Calibration gases.
Users can order the calibration kit, calibration accessories and/or gases from any
Bacharach authorized distributor.
5.3. Calculating the Span Gas Value
To achieve calibration the user must first tell the GDC-350 what concentration of span
he is going to flow over the sensor. Within the controller, this is a voltage setting. The
range of 0-4 VDC is equal to the full measurement range of the sensor. Prior to
attempting to calibrate, determine the voltage value required. Consult the table on
page 23 for standard voltages. If the value desired is not indicated, use the following
formula to calculate the voltage required.
Therefore, in this example, the required voltage setting to calibrate a 0-200 ppm
sensor with 100 ppm is 2.0 VDC.
NOTE: Values for Calibration Span Gas and Sensor Range in the
above equations must have the same Engineering Units (e.g., PPM, %
of LEL, % vol, etc.).

NOTE: When calibrating solid state refrigerant or catalytic sensors, it is

humidification chamber is required. The humidification chamber sits in
line between the cylinder of span gas and the calibration adapter.
Remove the sponge inside the chamber and wet it under the tap.
Squeeze out the excess water so it is not dripping wet and place it back
inside the chamber. As gas flows through the chamber, it absorbs water
which acts to humidify it and the humidified span gas flows over the
sensor. (See table on page 34 for ordering information.)
