Gas Detection System TOX ALARM DG2000-Garage

Gas Detection System TOX ALARM DG2000-Garage Gas Detection System 32 independent programmable channels 2 programmable alarm levels for each gas = up to 6 for each channel LCD alphanumeric display of gas concentration + precise clock Audible (integrated buzzer) and visual alarm Non-volatile memory for past alarm events 3 SPDT 5A/250 V output relays RS485 (Modbus RTU ), galvanic isolated Sophisticated Sensor I. APPLICATION The Gas Detection System TOX ALARM DG2000-Garage is purposed for detection and control of dangerous concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO), methane (CH4) and propane-butane (LPG) (all 3 or any combination of them). It is applicable in underground garages, tunnels, automobile workshops and engine testing stands, metallurgy & chemical industry factories and other areas, where toxic CO concentrations can be found. To the main control unit TOX ALARM DG2000-Garage can be connected up to 32 sophisticated sensors, mounted in the hazardous areas, which need to be monitored and controlled. The sophisticated sensors are from the series DG510/3G and have a standard range of 0-300ppm CO (up to 1000ppm on request), 0-50% LEL (lower explosion limit) of LPG and CH4. The communication is maintained through serial interface RS485. There are two programmable via the keypad alarm levels for each detected kind of gas pre-alarm AL1 and alarm AL2 connected with 2 integrated SPDT 5A/250V output relays. The two relays are common for all channels. If any detected gas concentration reaches pre-alarm level AL1 and does not decrease under it for a certain period of time (0 999,9 min, adjustable via the keypad), an integrated buzzer starts emitting repeated short beeps, the LED AL1 is lighted up and the output relay AL1 is activated. The relay output may operate a ventilation system in order to clear the air in the dangerous area, any kind of alarm systems, etc. If despite the ventilation the gas concentration exceeds the set alarm level, immediately the buzzer starts emitting a continuous signal, the LED AL2 is lighted up and AL2 output relay is activated, which can operate a stronger ventilation system, a siren, a semaphore system, barriers, alarm lights or other systems to restrict the access of people to the dangerous area until the concentration drops below the alarm level. The Gas Detection System has a non-volatile memory capacity of 30 alarm events. The alphanumeric LCD indicates the 3 different process values of gas concentration of every channel on rotational basis. The user can manually fix the indication to any desired channel. In case of a sensor or cable fault a common for all channels SPDT output relay is activated, LED FLT is lighted up and the audible alarm is activated. DELTA INSTRUMENTS Ltd. 23 A.

The communication interface between sensors and main control unit is RS485. The following scheme illustrates the topology of such RS485 network. At the one end of the network is placed the main control unit, which has an integrated terminating resistor. Identical terminating resistor should be mounted at the last device of the network as well. The connection cable of each sensor to the main communication cable should not be longer than 2-3 meters. The communication between main control unit and sensors is maintained at the low baud rate of 9600, so it can cover a greater length of up to 700-800 m. RS485 comp. IV.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS Mount the Gas Detection System on the wall in an area with normal risk of fire. VI. GENERAL CONDITIONS 6.1. TOX ALARM DG2000-Garage may be used only in applications, approved by its manufacturer - DELTA INSTRUMENTS Ltd. 6.2. Test and calibration have to be made every 12 months. The test overall performance will be ensured in a best way through a periodical maintenance servicing contract with the manufacturer. 6.3. The safe operation guarantee is not valid, if the device is maintained with unauthorized personnel or if the corresponding to the term of question Test and Calibration Report is not available. 6.4. If no other parameters are specified, the device is calibrated by the manufacturer with values 50 and 100 ppm CO, 10% and 20% LEL of CH4 and LPG accordingly for pre-alarm and alarm levels and by correct mounting no additional settings should be necessary. VII. OPERATION MODES OF TOX ALARM DG2000-Garage Standard operation mode After switching on the power supply of the main control unit, it enters a standard operation mode of displaying the measured 3 different gas concentration values for each channel on an automatic rotation basis. The upper row of the display indicates Ch CH4 LPG CO and the lower row respectively shows the number of the currently displayed channel, the concentration of methane, propane-butane and carbon monoxide. If any measured value in the lower row blinks, the pre-alarm level AL1 is activated. If the indications of the upper row blink as well, means that the alarm level AL2 is activated too. 4

The lower row can display also the following notifications: Offline No response from the sensor Actv The sensor is in activation process (warming up) Fault Sensor s measurement error Not update the control unit has not sent yet a request to the sensor Clock function By pressing the key MODE once while in standard operation mode, the display indicates the real time upper row: hh:mm:ss and lower row date (dd.mm.yy) Manual channel switching mode By pressing the key MODE once again (second time) the display enters a mode for manual switching of all channels. In this mode the operator can go through every channel manually by pressing the and keys. Mode of displaying past alarm events By pressing the key MODE once again (third time) the display enters a mode for visualization of the archive with past alarm events. After entering this mode is displayed the last registered alarm event. The operator can go through all 30 stored past alarms by pressing the and keys. By pressing the key MODE once again (fourth time) the display enters back the standard operation mode. Deactivation of the sound alarm In case of any activated alarm event the sound alarm (buzzer) is triggered as well. It can be deactivated by holding pressed the key ENT. VII. ENTERING PARAMETERS The 32-Channel Gas Detector provides an option for the customer to set for each channel different gas concentration percentage values for the pre-alarm and alarm levels of each type of gas, observing the restrictions 0 AL1 AL2 50 % LEL of CH4 and LPG and 0 AL1 AL2 300ppm for CO. The menu for programming gas detector s parameters is entered from the standard operation mode by pressing and holding the button MODE. It is separated in several submenus, listed in the table below. Traversing the elements of the menu or a submenu is operated by the vertical arrow keys: and. By pressing the button ENT, entering a correct corresponding password and hitting ENT again, the operator can enter a submenu. To exit a submenu, the operator can press MODE. For editing the different parameters of a submenu are used all arrow keys,, and. A newly edited value of any parameter should be saved (confirmed) by pressing the ENT button. 5

APPENDIX А DESCRIPTION OF MODBUS COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL 1. The device conforms to a subset of the MODBUS over Serial Line (RS 485) specification V 1.0. Only RTU transmission mode of characters is supported. For detailed information about the Modbus protocol visit www.modbus.org 2. The device utilizes the following configuration: Baudrate = "1200","2400","4800","9600","14400" Databits = 8 Parity = none Stopbit = 1 3. Connection scheme: It is required to place Line termination resistors (LT) near each of the ends of the bus with typical value of 360 Ohms (0.5W resistor). There is an integrated LT resistor in the main gas detection unit DG2000, so there needs to be placed only 1 more at the other end of the bus. 7

The least significant bits of both registers correspond respectively to channels 1 and 17. The most significant bits channels 16 and 32. Set bit (=1) = activated channel. Two 16-bit registers, indicating if there is received data from the sensor. When DG2000 is turned on, it starts reading measured data from each sensor.
