DGC6 Analog Gas Controller
1 Application
The PolyGard®2 DGC6 Gas Controller is used for monitoring, detection and warning of toxic and combustible gases
and vapors in the ambient air. The DGC6 Gas Controller fullls the requirements according to the European Standard
EN 50545-1 for the stationary monitoring of carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and combustible gases
in underground garages, tunnels, go-cart race courses etc. The DGC6 Gas Controller also meets the requirements
according to EN 378, VBG 20 and the guidelines “Safety requirements for ammonia (NH3) refrigeration systems”. The
Gas Controller can be used as well for monitoring other gases and measuring values.
The intended sites are all areas being directly connected to the public low voltage supply, e.g. residential, commercial
and industrial ranges as well as small enterprises (according to EN 5502). The Gas Controller may only be used in
ambient conditions as specied in the technical datasheet.
The PolyGard®2 Gas Controller DGC6 must not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
2 Description
The Gas Controller is a measuring, warning and control system for the continuous monitoring of di󰀨erent toxic or
combustible gases and vapors as well as of Freon refrigerants. The DGC6 is suitable for the connection of up to 96
digital sensors like the DT6 Series via the 4-wire bus. Up to 32 analog inputs for the connection of sensors with 4 to
20 mA signal interface are available in addition. The controller can be employed as pure analog controller, as analog/
digital or as digital controller. The total number of connected sensors, however, may not exceed 128 sensors.
Up to four programmable alarm thresholds are available for each sensor. Each sensor alarm threshold can be
assigned up to one of the 32 power relays or up to one of the 96 signal relays. Relays have potential-free change-over
contacts.
The Gas Controller menu structure is very intuitive and simple to use. A number of integrated parameters allow
customized programming for various gas measuring scenarios. Conguration is menu-driven via the keypad. For faster
and easy conguration, you can use the PC based conguration software DGC6-EasyConf.
Prior to commissioning please consult the guidelines for wiring and commissioning of the hardware.
2.1 Normal Mode
In normal mode, the gas concentrations of the active sensors are continuously polled and displayed at the (liquid
crystal) LC display. In addition, the controller continuously monitors itself, its outputs and the communication to all
active sensors and modules.
2.2 Alarm Mode
If the gas concentration reaches or exceeds the programmed alarm threshold, the alarm is triggered, the assigned
alarm relay is activated and the alarm LED (orange for alarm 1, red for alarm 2 + n) starts to ash. The set alarm can
be read from the menu Alarm Status. When the gas concentration falls below the alarm threshold and programmed
hysteresis, the alarm is automatically reset. In latching mode, the alarm must be reset manually at the triggering device
after falling below the threshold. This function is required for combustible gases detected by catalytic bead sensors
generating a falling signal at too high gas concentrations.

DGC6 – UserManual
2.3 Special Status Mode
In the special status mode there are delayed measurements for service and modication, but no alarm evaluation. The
special status is indicated on the display and it always activates the fault relay.
The controller adopts the special status when:
- faults of one or more active devices occur,
- the operation starts up after return of voltage (power on),
- the service mode is activated by the user,
- the user reads or changes parameters,
- an alarm or signal relay is manually overridden in the “Stage Status” menu or via digital inputs.
2.3.1 Fault Mode
If the controller detects an incorrect communication of an active sensor or module, or if an analog signal is outside
the admissible range (< 3.0 mA > 21.2 mA), or if there are internal function errors coming from the self-control
modules incl. watchdog and voltage control, the assigned fault relay is set and the error LED starts to ash Yellow.
The error is displayed in the menu Error Status in clear text. After removal of the cause, the error message has to be
acknowledged (reset) manually in the menu System Errors.
2.3.2 Restart Mode (Warm-up Operation)
Gas sensors need a running-in period, until the chemical process of the sensor reaches stable conditions. During this
running-in period the sensor signal can create a false alarm.
Depending on the connected sensor types, the longest warm-up time has to be entered as power-on time in the
controller. This “Power On Time” is started at the Gas Controller after switching on the power supply and/or after the
return of voltage. During this initial startup phase, the Gas Controller doesn’t display any values and doesn’t activate
any alarms; the controller system isn’t ready for use.
The power-on status occurs on the rst line of the home display.
2.3.3 Service Mode
This operation mode includes commissioning, calibration, testing, repair and decommissioning.
The service mode can be enabled for a single sensor, for a group of sensors as well as for the complete system. In
active service mode pending alarms for the concerned devices are held, but new alarms are suppressed.
2.3.4 UPS Functionality
The supply voltage is monitored in all modes. When reaching the battery voltage in the power pack, the UPS function
of the controller is enabled and the connected battery is charged.
If the power fails, the battery voltage drops down and generates the power failure message.
At empty battery voltage, the battery is separated from the circuit (function of deep discharge protection). When the
power is restored, there will be an automatic return to the charging mode.
No settings and therefore no parameters are required for the UPS functionality.

3.3 Code Levels
According to the regulations of all national and international standards for gas warning systems, all inputs and changes
are protected by a four-digit numeric code (= password) against unauthorized intervention. The menu windows for
status messages and measuring values are visible without entering a code.
The cancellation of a password level takes place when no buttons are pushed within 15 minutes.
The code levels are classied in order of priority: Priority 1 has top priority.
Priority 1: Upper Level (password 9001 – not changeable)
Code level priority 1 is intended for the service technician of the installer to change parameters and set-points. This
password allows working on all settings. For opening the parameter menus you must rst activate the service mode
after code entry.
Priority 2: Lower Level (password 1234 – not changeable)
Code level priority 2 allows the operator:
- to acknowledge faults
- to set date and time
- to congure and to operate the data logger option, after activation of the operation mode “Service Mode”
- to read all parameters
- to manually operate test

4.1.3 System Messages and Errors
The devices connected via the analog interface can only report their malfunction by signal under range or over range.
The reason for signal under range usually occurs because of loss of signal do to missing signal from wiring problems.
The following system error messages of the analog interface are detected and recorded:
“AP 0X Overrange” Current signal at analog input > 21.2 mA
Cause: Short-circuit at analog input, analog sensor not calibrated, or defective.
Solution: Check cable to analog sensor, make calibration, replace sensor.
“AP Underrange” Current signal at analog input < 3.0 mA
Cause: Wire break at analog input, analog sensor not calibrated, or defective.
Solution: Check cable to analog sensor, make calibration, replace sensor.
Any device with microprocessor and digital communication - such as digital heads, sensor boards, EP modules and
even the controller - is equipped with extensive self-monitoring systems and diagnostic functions.
They enable detailed conclusions about the error causes and help the installers and operators to quickly determine the
cause, and/or to arrange an exchange.
These errors can only be transmitted when the connection to the central (or tool) is intact.

4.5 Maintenance Information
A control of the maintenance intervals required by law (SIL) or by the customer is integrated in the DGC6 system.
When changing the maintenance intervals, you have to observe legal and standard regulations and the manufacturer’s
specications! A calibration must be performed so that the change can take e󰀨ect
System maintenance message:
At commissioning or after successful maintenance, the date (battery backed) for next due maintenance of the whole
system has to be entered. When this date has been reached, the maintenance message is activated.
Sensor maintenance message:
Sensors need regular calibration for complying with the specied accuracy and reliability. In order to avoid complex
manual documentation, the sensors store their run time between the calibration intervals continuously and
permanently. If the run time since the last calibration exceeds the sensor maintenance interval stored in the sensor, a
maintenance message is sent to the central control.
The maintenance message is reset during calibration and the running time since the last calibration is set to zero.
Device reaction with pending maintenance message:
The maintenance signal can be ORed to each of the active relays in the menu Relay Parameters. In this way, one or
more relays can be activated in case of maintenance (see 4.8.2.9).
In case of a pending maintenance message, the phone no. of the service company appears in the main menu instead
of the time / date information and the yellow LED on the display starts to ash.
The maintenance message can only be cleared by removing the cause - changing the maintenance date or calibration
or replacement of the sensors.
In order to distinguish between the sensor maintenance messages and the system maintenance message and to
get a quick allocation of the serviceable sensors, the measured value in the menu item Sensor Readings gets the
maintenance prex “#”.
As additional information, a separate window displays the time (in days) when the next sensor is due for maintenance.
If several sensors are connected, the shortest time is always displayed. In the submenu, you can scroll through the
display of all active measuring points to determine the sensors where the maintenance is due soon.
The largest representable number is 889 days (127 weeks / 2.5 years), counting down after the initial week of
operation. If the next maintenance is due in an even longer period, the time display is still limited to 889 days.
Scrolling through all active
sensors and display of the
related days remaining until
next maintenance.
Maintenance date, stored in the display;
after expiry, only message in the display,
no other external reporting.

Note:
This function only works with an USB device.
If this function is active, the USB device mustn’t be removed, otherwise data may be lost!! (Like with Windows – safe
removal of USB devices)

Denition of the relay function – acts directly on the relay output:
Symbol Description Setting Status Function
OFF Current value OFF OFF = Current values of all registered SP are not recorded.
ON = Current values of all registered SP are recorded.
Release of the current value recording of all active measuring points on the USB device in a CSV le. The le name is
generated by the system and can’t therefore be determined manually.
The name of the le is structured as follows:
CVMMTT.csv, with MM standing for the current month and TT standing for the current day.
Every day, a new le with the current date is generated. This makes sure that the les won’t be too big to be still edited
by established PC programs.

The rst column gives the time; from the second column on, the current values of all registered measuring points at
this time are written. Inactive measuring points within active measuring points are marked by a dash -.
Values less than 0 stands for an error status of the measuring point.
e.g. 0x8100 = Underrange of head of measuring point
e.g. 0x8200 = Overrange of head of measuring point
e.g. 0x9000 = Communication error of sensor board of measuring point
e.g. 0xB000 = Communication error of head of measuring point
Each error is marked by the prex 0x.
In this way the le keeps a xed structure and can be evaluated with Excel and graphed according to the chronological
sequence.
