1 Intended Use
The PolyGard2DC6 is designed for detection and warning of toxic, combustible or dangerous atmosphere
in many commercial and industrial applications.
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 EN50 082).
The PolyGard2DC6 Multi Sensor Controller must not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres. The
sensor must only be employed in areas within the environmental conditions specified in the Technical Data.
2 Functional Description
2.1 General
The Multi-Sensor-Controller is designed for the connection of max. three sensors, two of them may be different
cartridges of the SC2 series via local bus and/or two of them analog sensors with 4-20 mA signal of the AT6
series. The function of the sensor series SC2 or AT6 is not the subject of this User Manual but can be found in
the User Manual of the SC2 / AT6.
The controller monitors the measured values and activates the alarm relays if the set alarm thresholds for pre-
alarm and main alert are exceeded. In addition, the values are provided for direct connection to the BMS via an
RS-485 interface and also as 4-20 mA output.
The SIL 2 compliant self-monitoring function in the DC6 and in the connected Sensor Cartridge activates the
fault message in case of an internal error as well as in case of a fault in the local bus communication (SC2)
and/or at the 4-20 mA input / output current signals.
Other options such as LCD display, three-color status LED, buzzer, digital input for acknowledgment or test
function, various communication protocols ensure proper adaptation to the wide range of applications in gas
detection technology. For convenient commissioning the DC6 can be pre-configured and parametrised with
factory-set defaults.

DC6 – UserManual

2.3 Relay Mode
Definition of the relay operation mode:The terms energized / de-energized come from the terms energized /
de-energized to trip principle (open-circuit / closed circuit principle) used for safety circuits. The terms refer to
the activation of the relay coil, not to the relay contacts (as they are executed as a changeover contact and
available in both principles).
The LEDs attached to the modules show the two states in analogy. (LED off -> relay de-energized)
2.4 Relay Function Static / Flash
Definition of the relay function: The function "flashing" represents a connection option for warning devices to
improve visibility. If” flashing” is set, this must not be used as a safe output circuit any more.
A combination of relay mode energized with flashing operation makes no sense and is therefore suppressed.
2.5 Horn Function (not safe output circuit because resettable)
The horn function is considered active if at least one of the two parameters (time or assignment to digital input)
is set. The horn function retains its functionality even for alarms in latching mode.
Special function: Recurrence of the horn relay
After an alarm has been triggered, the horn will remain active until it is acknowledged. After acknowledgment of
the horn relay/s (clicking a button or via external input) a timer starts. When this time has run out and the alarm
is still acting, the relay is set again. This process is repeated endlessly as long as the associated alarm
remains active.

3 Installation
Electronics can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Therefore, the installation work
should be done only by persons connected to ground,e. g. with a wrist strap connected to ground
or by standing on a conductive floor (acc. to DIN EN 100015).
3.1 Mounting Instructions
When choosing the mounting site please pay attention to the following:
•The mounting height depends on the relative density of the gas type to be monitored (see User Manual
of Sensor Cartridge).
•Choose mounting location of the sensor according to the local regulations.
•Consider ventilation conditions! Do not mount the sensor near the airflow (air passages, suction holes
etc.).
•Mount the sensor at a location with minimum vibration and minimum variation in temperature (avoid
direct sunlight).
•Avoid locations where water, oil etc. may influence proper operation and where mechanical damage
might be possible.
•Provide adequate space around the sensor for maintenance and calibration work.
•Observe possible constructor’s instructions.
3.2 Installation Work
Assembly work must only be carried out under gas-free conditions.
The housing must neither be spot-drilled nor drilled through outside the knockouts.
The installation position of the gas detector is always with the sensor head downwards.
•Open housing cover.
•Break out the required pre-embossed knockouts on the housing for cable glands and Sensor
Cartridge.
•Cables are introduced from above, the sensor head SC2 / AT6 downwards.
•The DC6 Controller is fixed to the wall through the four marked mounting points at the back side of
the housing. These mounting points are accessible after opening the housing. See figure below.
•The dimensions XX depend on the type and can be read on the back of the housing, in the housing
version of CX, it is115 mm.
•The mounting points are covered by closing the cover at the end of the assembly.
•Close the cover.

4 Electrical Connection
Assembly work must only be carried out under gas-free conditions!
Consider static electricity instructions (ESD)!
4.1 Wiring
•The technical requirements and regulations for wiring, electrical security, as well as project specific
and environmental and local conditions etc. must be observed when mounting.
•We recommend the following cable types1:
USA / Canada
14 AWG / 300 V
14 AWG / 300 V
min. 300 V
Europe
Power supply 230 V NYM-J 3 x 1.5 mm2
Alarm message 230 V (also possible together with power supply) NYM-J X x 1.5 mm2
Signal message, bus connection to DGC6, warning devices 24 V J-Y(St)Y 2x2 x 0.8 mm2
Possibly connected external analog transmitters J-Y(St)Y 2x2 x 0.8 mm2min. 300 V
1The recommendation does not consider local conditions such as fire protection etc.
•Use copper conductors only for the terminal is only for connection to copper wire.
•Avoid any influence of external interferences by using shielded cables for the bus line, but do not
connect the shield.
•Strip the cables as short as possible. It is important to ensure that bare wires, e.g. wire shields,do not
come into contact with the mounted PCB (risk of short-circuit).
•Low voltage wire and mains connected wire must be fixed separately by cable ties or similar, to secure
against looseness.
•When choosing the option “Power Supply ≥ 90 VAC” you must make sure that a switch or a circuit
breaker is provided in the building automation especially for the Unit. It must be installed easily
accessible near the Unit. It has to be marked as a disconnecting device for the Unit and shall meet the
relevant requirements of UL/IEC 60947 and UL/IEC 60947-3
•Analog sensors are connected directly to the spring type terminals of the module. The correct polarity
must be observed.
•Digital sensors are connected directly to the local bus socket.
•The alarm signals are available as potential-free change-over contacts.
The exact position of the terminals for the sensors and alarm relays is shown in the connection diagrams.

5 Commissioning
5.1 General Notes
Only trained technicians should perform the following when commissioning:
•Install the Sensor Cartridge(s) if not already installed.
•Check for correct mounting location.
•Check if connection is correct according to connection diagram.
•Check power voltage.
•Calibrate (if not already factory-calibrated).
Required instruments for commissioning (calibration):
•Service Tool STL6 or
•DPT6 incl. EasyConfig Software and USB/RS-485 communication set
•See document PolyGard®2 Sensor Calibration Procedure
For sensors that e.g. can be poisoned by silicones like all semiconductor and catalytic bead sensors, it is
imperative to remove the protective cap supplied only after all silicones are dry, and then energize the device.
For fast and comfortable commissioning, we recommend proceeding as follows. For digital devices with self-
monitoring all internal errors are visible via the LED. All other error sources often have their origins in the field,
because it is here where most of the causes for problems in the field bus communication appear.
5.2 Optical Check
•Right cable type used.
•Correct mounting height according to definition in Mounting.
•LED status
5.3 Selection Gas Type with Unit
The selection of the desired and connected gas sensor type is made by pre-set values.
If other gas sensor types are connected, you have to adjust them with the configuration tool, because
otherwise the device will respond with an error message.
The selection contains all necessary information for the controller and is also used for comparing the real
digital data with the settings.
This feature increases the user and operating security. There is an entry available per gas type for each unit; at
the moment, there are 100 selection options.

For regular maintenance und calibration by trained technicians we recommend concluding aservice contract
with INTEC Controls or one of their authorized partners.
According to EN 45544-4, inspection and service must be executed at regular intervals. The maximum intervals
have to be determined and observed by the person responsible for the gas warning system according to the
legal requirements. INTEC Controls recommends applying the inspection and maintenance intervals as
prescribed in the general regulations of the gas measuring technique like VDI-2053, EN 60079-29-1 etc. The
inspection interval normally is three months. The recommended service intervals are depended from the
connected Sensor Cartridges. If different intervals are valid, always consider the shortest one.
Inspections and services must be documented. The date for the next maintenance has to be affixed to the
sensor.
7.1 Functional Tests (for Initial Operation and Maintenance)
Gas sensors should be controlled regularly by a competent person according to EN 45544-4. The functional
test should be carried out during each service, but at least once a year. The following has to be checked in
particular:
•Maintenance / calibration interval not exceeded.
•Check the Unit including measuring head for mechanical damage.
•Remove dust deposits, especially at the gas inlet.
•Check the Unit including measuring head for dust, dirt and moisture deposits and clean it with a dry
cloth if necessary.
•The filter at the gas inlet has to be replaced if extremely dirty.
7.2 Trip Test with Reference Gas
When applying a reference gas with a concentration > alarm threshold 2, the set alarm thresholds are
exceeded, and all output functions are activated. It is necessary to check if the connected output functions are
working correctly (e.g. the horn sounds, the fan switches on, devices shut down). By pressing the push-button
on the horn, the horn acknowledgment must be checked. After removal of the reference gas, all outputs must
automatically return to its initial position.

7.3 Calibration
New SC2 / AT6 Sensor are always delivered factory-calibrated. This is documented by the calibration label
indicating date and calibration gas. A repeated calibration is not necessary during commissioning if the device
is still in its original packaging (air-tight protection by the red protective cap) and the calibration doesn’t date
back more than 12 months for CO2 sensors and 3 months for all other gases.
The calibration of the sensor head is done on the display; for versions without display, you need aPC tool or
the STL6 Service Tool. There is an automatic routine in the calibration menu of the Service Tool STL.
As long as the calibration menu is open and the sensor is gassed with test gas, the alarm release is blocked.
Prior to calibration the sensor must be connected continuously to the power supply for stabilization for a
running-in period (see User Manual of Sensor Cartridge).
