(User Discretion)
The MGS-410 uses a smartphone application to allow users to interface with the
gas detector. To download the app, scan here or visit www.mybacharach.com/
apps.
IMPORTANT: Default alias, passkey and unlock code can be changed via the
MGS-400 App’s conguration menu.
1. Enable Bluetooth®discovery by tapping MAG #1 for 1-second. (After 10-seconds,
device will indicate that it is discoverable with audible heartbeat until it has been paired,
discovery has timed-out or has been cancelled.)
2. Launch the MGS-400 App and click the Bluetooth®icon at the bottom of the
screen to initiate a scan.
3. Select the instrument (default is “18TMA”) from the list of available Bacharach
gas detectors.

1. Fit calibration adapter to the gas detector lid.
2. Ifusingavariableowregulator,adjustthegasowtoapproximately
0.3 L/min.
8a. General Calibration Procedure
WARNING: The MGS-410 MAY NOT be in an alarm or fault condition during
calibration. Acknowledge any alarms or faults BEFORE attempting to begin
the calibration process.
WARNING: Except for CO2 or O2 sensors, calibration gas must be in a
balance of air, not nitrogen (N2).
IMPORTANT: Calibration and / or bump testing requires the MGS-400
calibration adapter kit (P/N 6302-9990).
IMPORTANT: At elevations higher than 6,560′ (2,000 m), calibration will
result in a lower reading. See the MGS-400 User Manual (P/N 1100-2294) for
additional information.

8b. Zero Adjustment
WARNING: Except for CO2 or O2 sensors, ambient air may be used instead
of zero gas if the area is know to be free of the target gas or any gases to
which the sensor may be cross-sensitive.
3. Beginzeroadjustment:
MGS-400 App:Home Tab Calibrate scan barcode on gas cylinder or
manually enter values for zero gas.
Manual: hold MAG#1 for >5-seconds. The LED will blink green-green-red when
the instrument is ready.
4. Apply zero gas (or ambient air per warning above).
5. Conrmthestartofcalibration:
MGS-400 App: press the Start Zero button.
Manual: tap MAG#1 within 30-seconds or the instrument will time-out and return
to normal operation.
6. Completezeroadjustment:
MGS-400 App:app will countdown to completion. If calibration is successful,
proceed to Step 12.
Manual: the LED will blink green-red, green-red-red, green-red-red-red,
etc. until calibration is complete. To abort, hold MAG#1 for >5-seconds, turn
off gas flow and remove the calibration adapter. If calibration is successful
(green LED), proceed to Step 12. If calibration is unsuccessful (LED blinks
orange @ 2 Hz), tap MAG#1 to discard the calibration attempt and see the
MGS-400 User Manual (P/N 1100-2294) for troubleshooting.
7. Turnogasowfromzerogas.
8. Replacezerogaswithcalibrationgasinpreparationforspanadjustment.
9. Beginspanadjustment:
MGS-400 App:scan barcode on gas cylinder or manually enter values for
calibration gas.
Manual: hold MAG#2 for >5-seconds. The LED will blink green-green-orange
when the instrument is ready.
10. Apply calibration gas at the concentration listed on the cal gas concentration
label (located on top of the instrument).

NOT pure refrigerant or hydrocarbons (e.g., do not use a butane lighter).
4. Once thresholds have been exceeded, relays should activate, digital outputs
should transmit the gas concentration and:
MGS-400 App:gas concentration should be displayed, the instrument status
should be “Low Alarm” or “High Alarm” and alarms states should be “On.”
Manual: LED status should display “Low Alarm” or “High Alarm.”
