TERMINOLOGY
The DEGA05-2-AC-x-yL compact gas detector
is located in the area monitored and is designed to protect the health and property of individuals in an environment in which there
exists the possibility of the occurrence of a critical situation based on the accumulation of ammable or toxic gases. The detector
includes a sensor that reads the current value of the gas concentration in the ambient air and shows this value on the display. This
also provides the possibility for optical and acoustic signalling and for switching relay contacts that correspond to the specic
status.
LEL: Lower Explosive Limit of gas - the lowest volume concentration of gas in the atmosphere at which an explosion might occur
PEL: Permissible Exposure Limit – the maximum average concentration of gases to which an employee may be exposed during one
shift (typically of 8 or 12 hours)
The Transmitter: is a part of the detector that is placed in the area monitored and reports the detected concentration of the media
as an output signal
The Sensor: is a part of the transmitter that reacts to the presence of gas (vapour) in the air.
The DEGA 05L-2-AC-x-yL detector is available with the following sensors:
(whereby x= the symbol for a specic gas, y= the symbol for the type of sensor)
DEGA05-2-AC-x-EL with an electrochemical sensor
This operates on the principle of measurement of the change in the electrical parameters of electrodes placed in electrolyte, due to
the redox reaction of detected gas on their surface. These sensors have a favourable selectivity and the capacity to detect very low
concentrations of gases. In the DEGA systems they are utilised primarily for the detection of toxic gases.
DEGA05-2-AC-x-CL with a catalytic sensor (Pelistor)
These work on the principle of catalytic combustion – the gas concentration is measured in accordance with the amount of heat
released during a controlled combustion reaction. The reaction is prompted by a suitable temperature and the presence of a
catalyst. These sensors can be used for the detection of a wide range of combustible gases. The sensors are characterised by their
fast response, long life and high degree of stability. For their proper functioning they require at least 10% of the oxygen in the air.
In an environment containing corrosive substances (alkaline and/or acidic compounds, silicon, sulphur, lead, etc.) the degradation
of the sensor is accelerated.
DEGA05-2-AC-x-IL with an infrared sensor (IR)
The highest-quality detecting method, which works on the principle of infrared spectroscopy. These sensors excel in the high
level of their selectivity and their resistance in environments containing corrosive substances and, under ideal conditions, their
theoretically unlimited operating life.
DEGA05-2-AC-x-SL with a semiconductor sensor
The least expensive method of sensing. They work on the principle of the measurement of the change in the electrical conductivity
of semiconductors that occurs in the event of a change in the concentration of the gas detected. Its advantages are its long
operating life when it is used in a clean environment and also the wide range of models available for dierent types of gases and
vapours. Its disadvantages are its low degree of selectivity (a lesser ability to distinguish between the dierent types of gases in the
mixture) and in environments containing corrosive substances (alkaline and acidic compounds, silicones, sulphur compounds, etc.)
an accelerated degradation of the sensor takes place.

INSTALLATION, ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY OF THE DETECTOR
Included in the delivery is a mounting plate, together with a spanner for its disassembly (DEGA KD).
The compact detector is designed for mounting on the wall at a height in accordance with the gas to be detected with a
recommended deection from the wall surface of ± 15°.
The DEGA 05L-2-AC-C-EL compact detector for the detection of carbon monoxide (CO) should be placed 150-160 cm above the
oor-level. The DEGA 05L-2-AC-M-CL compact detector for the detection of methane (CH4), natural gas, CNG should be placed
just below the ceiling. The DEGA 05L-2-AC-P-CL compact detector for the detection of butane (C4H10) and propane-butane, LPG
should be placed 10-15 cm above the oor-level. Other models of the DEGA05 compact detector should be installed in accordance
with their usage and the properties of the gas to be detected.
Assembly of the compact detector
1. Remove the upper part: place one hand on each side of the device and press upwards with both thumbs on the edges of the
plastic cover over the display. (The locations for the thumbs are indicated by black arrows). Then disconnect the service cable that
connects the upper part with the base.

OPERATION OF THE COMPACT DETECTOR
Sending the detector for CALIBRATION
At least once a year it is necessary to calibrate the detector and, in the case of choosing the calibration of the detector without any
physical intervention in the area of its application, it will be necessary to send the detector to the manufacturer or to an authorised
service centre for calibration. The procedure is as follows:
1. Remove the upper part: place one hand on each side of the device and press upwards with both thumbs on the edges of the
plastic cover over the display. (The locations for the thumbs are indicated by black arrows). Then disconnect the service cable
that connects the upper part with the base.
2. Wrap the part and send it for calibration.
3. Following the delivery of the calibrated part, connect the service cable and slide it to the central part.
4. Subsequently, it is necessary to perform a functional check using a calibration gas to verify all the pertinent functions of the
detector (for example whether a disconnection of the gas supply or a disconnection of the boiler takes place, etc.).
Two buttons are used for the operation of the compact controller; the button and the button.
Switching between the channels displayed (transmitters): using the button it is possible to switch between the occupied
channels.
Resetting the acoustic alarm: press the button thereby deactivating the internal piezo-buzzer for 20 minutes; the “ALARM”
relay switches to the idle mode. If, after 20 minutes, the event for which the acoustic alarm was activated still persists, the sounder
starts-up again and the “ALARM”relay is switched on. It is possible shut down the acoustic alarm 3 times in a row and subsequently it
will no longer be active for the duration of the alarm.
Note: Resetting the acoustic alarm causes only temporary deactivation of the acoustic alarm. The other signalling features (relays
LEVEL1, LEVEL2 etc.) remain functional.
Service mode: If it is necessary to replace the transmitter without announcing failure or alarms, it is possible to„freeze“ the status of
all the relays of the compact controller for up to 60 minutes. This is achieved by pressing the and the buttons for at least
5 seconds. The display then shows only the length of time up to the reactivation of the compact controller. 60 minutes after entering
the service mode the compact controller switches back to normal. If we wish to manually move out of service mode to normal
operation, we press the and buttons again for 5 seconds.
Hold the button for 5 seconds in the service mode to test the functions of the compact controller:
- all signalling elements and display will be illuminated (8 seconds)
- the acoustic alarm will be activated (2 seconds)
- sequential switching of all the relays
Changing the setting of the critical temperature: In the event of the requirement for changing the settings of values 1 and 2 of the
critical temperature, in the service mode press the button for 5 seconds. The level indicating the critical temperature 1 set will
appear on the display. Press to set the temperature lower, pressing to set the temperature in the range of 0-99 °C. Save
the temperature set by pressing the button for 5 seconds.

FUNCTIONS OF THE COMPACT DETECTOR
SWITCHING ON THE DETECTOR (ON)
After switching on the power supply all the indication features are tested and subsequently the LCD display shows the current
version of the installed rmware. After this sequence, the compact detector counts down the time required for the stabilisation
of the connected transmitters, 20 – 180 s, in accordance with the warm-up time of the individual transmitters. If everything is O.K.,
the detector goes into normal operation and the „ERROR“ relay is switched to the C4 - NO4 contacts position indicating its proper
operation.
Note: Resetting the acoustic alarm causes only temporary deactivation of the acoustic alarm. The other signalling features (relays
LEVEL1, LEVEL2 etc.) remain functional.
IDLE MODE (READY)
The compact detector remains in this mode during most of its operation. The information displayed on the LCD display is related
primarily to the actual sensor that is inside the compact detector. If the external DEGA NBx-yL II transmitter is installed, displaying
data from it, can be achieved by pressing . In the event that the concentration exceeds the maximum level that the sensor
being utilised is able to detect, the„HI“ symbol is displayed on the detector. In the event of concentrations greater than 999, it shows
the symbol„t“ indicating multiples of thousands, e.g. the number 1t1 stands for 1100, or 4t5 stands for 4500 of 99t stands for 99000.
THE GAS ALARM STATUS (i.e. exceeding levels 1-2 of the detection limit)
Should level 1 of concentration be exceeded on the DEGA05-2-AC-x-yL (V) compact detector or the DEGA NBx-yL II external
transmitter, the “ALARM” LED lights up, the “[ALARM1] indication is displayed on the LCD display and the “[LEVEL1] relay will be
switched on. Should level 2 of concentration be exceeded, the “ALARM” LED lights up, the “[ALARM2] indication is displayed on the
LCD display and the “[LEVEL2] relay will be switched on.
Note: By default, levels of alarm (1, 2) of individual gases for individual transmitters are set in accordance with the specications of the
transmitter and they can be altered in accordance with the customer’s requirements.
Note: Acoustic signalling is activated by default when level 2 of alarm is reached. In accordance with the customer’s requirements, this can
also be set to level1.
If the system is expanded with an external sensor (DEGA NBX yL-II), and an ALARM occurs, the concentration value of the
additional sensor / internal sensor is displayed with a higher level of gas alarm.
For example: In a case in which the detection of„CO“ and also„CH4 - Natural Gas“ on one device is necessary the following assembly
is recommended: DEGA 05L-2-AC-- C-EL (V ) + DEGA NBM-CL II.
The„PEL“ STATUS OF THE GAS ALARM
(i.e. exceeding the time-weighted average)
When the TWA concentration is exceeded the icon and ! DANGER ! sign are lit up, together with the displaying
of the code PE, instead of the concentration measured, next to the transmitter (channel) on which the TWA concentration was
exceeded, and the switching on of the “LEVEL4”and the “ALARM” relays and the activation of the internal acoustic alarm.
PEL (in English TWA- Time-weighted Average)
This function is activated only in the case of the detection of toxic gases (e.g. carbon monoxide (CO), etc.)
Note: Levels of “PEL” alarms for individual gases for specic transmitters are set by default in accordance with the specications of the
transmitter and can be adjusted in accordance with the customer’s requirements.

PAGE 18
FAILURE (ERROR)
In the event of any failure of the compact detector or of its accessories the yellow LED„ERROR“ comes on, the„ERROR“ relay switches
to the C3 - NC3 position, the acoustic alarm is activated, the„ALARM“ relay is switched on (by contacts C4 - NO4) and the appropriate
symbol commences ashing on the display:
• In the event of the failure of the DEGA05-2-AC-x-yL (V) compact detector only a symbol ashes on the display.
• In the event of the failure of the internal or externat transmitter a symbol will ash on the display and instead of concentration
value will be a minus symbol
• In the event of a failure of the critical temperature sensor (DEGA05-TcII) the symbol ashes and the icon will lit up
on the display.
• In the event of the failure of the ood sensor (DEGA Zc II) the symbol ashes and the icon will lit up on the display.
EXTERNAL GAS DETECTION TRANSMITTER
One external transmitter of the DEGA NBX-yL II type can be connected to a device, communicating through an analogue 4-20 mA
current loop.
When purchasing a compact detector with an additional transmitter the function of the additional sensor is activated and the
“[CHANNEL]”icon is shown on the display.
DETECTION OF CRITICAL TEMPERATURE (only in the event of the DEGA05-Tc temperature sensor being connected)
The DEGA05-Tc temperature sensor is built into the body of the compact detector and the standard value of the ALARM is set for 45
°C. When exceeding the critical temperature the symbol and ! DANGER ! sign is lit up on the LCD display and the
contact of the [TEMP] relay is switched on.
DETECTION OF FLOODING (only in the event of the DEGA Zc II ood sensor being connected)
The ood sensor is installed external to the compact detector at oor level. In the case of the detection of a leakage the„ALARM“LED
commences ashing, the symbol and ! DANGER ! sign on the LCD display is lit up and the „TEMP“ relay is
switched on.
EMERGENCY/SOLENOID VALVE
Emergency valve
The circuit for controlling emergency valves is designed to control the solenoid emergency valves with a 12 V DC coil of the switching
power of up to 7 VA. The valve is connected by means of a two-wire cable to the terminals marked Va and Vb. A voltage pulse is
transmitted in the following cases: power outage, failure, exceeding level 2 of concentration.
Note: Connect the emergency valve of the DEGA HV-DN15, DEGA HV-DN20 or DEGA HV-DN25 type to the detector.
Solenoid valve
The relay can be controlled using the valves of the “without voltage, closed” type with a 230VAC coil. Connect one wire of the valve
coil to the L terminal of the k1 connector. Connect the other wire to the NO terminal of the k5 connector. Connect the C terminal of
the k5 connector to the N terminal of the k1 connector. Valve closure occurs in the following instances:
Limitations: In this version the detector cannot monitor either the critical temperature nor ooding.
Note: The requirement must be specied in the order.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
OPERATION
To maintain the proper functioning of the device during its operation it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the presence of a
high concentration of gas or vapour other than those for which the transmitter is set, can create an alarm, even if the concentration of
monitored gas does not exceed the level set. Due to the wide range of interfering gases or vapours (solvents, exhaust fumes, vapours
from organic substances, disinfectants, etc.) it is not possible to determine a generally permissible concentration of interfering gas;
the data concerning selectivity in relation to certain gases are determined for specic transmitters.Therefore it is recommended, prior
to processing the project documentation, to analyse the air in the area in which the detection system is installed.
The surface of the compact detector may be cleaned with a cloth slightly moistened either with soapy water or with diluted detergent.
MAINTENANCE
If the detector is operated in accordance with the technical conditions, it requires:
a) calibration at least once every 6-12 months (i.e. setting the detection limits, checking the responsiveness of the sensor, checking
the system’s functionality). The precise interval is dependent on the level of contamination of the environment, the degree of accuracy
required and the level of occurrence of the selective gases in the environment.
Calibration should be carried out only by authorised service centres holding a valid certicate of competency or by the manufacturer.
b) „Functional checking“ at least once every 3-12 months. Functional checks are performed utilising the test gas at the
concentration that is intended for it – this must not exceed the limit range of the transmitter. We recommend gases with a certied
1st grade of purity!
Recommendation: For ideal functioning it is recommended to carry out the calibration and the functional checks once every 6
months or the calibration once every 12 months and the functional check once every 3 months.
The means for testing the re alarm transmitters must not be utilised for these checks!
THE STATUS OF THE REQUIRED SERVICE INTERVENTION (CALIBRATION OF TRANSMITTERS)
The compact detector is provided with automatic monitoring of the calibration periods of the gas transmitters.
Following the expiration of 12 months since the last calibration of the internal transmitter or the external sensor the user is alerted to
the necessity of recalibration.This status is displayed by long ashes of„ERROR“ LED, ashing and the
icon. The compact detector remains in operation.
Following the expiration of 18 months from the most recent calibration of the internal transmitter or the external sensor, for security
reasons, the function of the entire detector is blocked. This status is displayed as a blinking „ERROR“ LED, a ashing and the
icon. All the relays are in the C-NO position.
