MGC2 Analog Gas Controller
1 Application
The PolyGard®MGC2 Gas Controller is used for monitoring and warning of toxic and combustible gases and vapors
and NVN 2443 for the stationary monitoring of carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and combustible gases
Controller can be used as well for monitoring lot of other gases.
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 EN55 02). The Gas Controller may only be used in
The PolyGard®Gas Controller MGC2 must not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
2 Description
The Gas Controller is a measuring and warning controller for the continuous monitoring of different toxic or
combustible gases and vapors as well as freons. The MGC2 is suitable for the connection of up to 24 analog
transmitters.
up to 30 relays with potential-free, change-over, dry contacts.
Comfortable and easy operation of the Gas Controller is done via the logical menu structure. A number of integrated
driven via the user-friendly keypad.
Prior to commissioning please consider the guidelines for wiring and commissioning for hardware.
2.1 Normal Mode
In normal mode, the gas concentrations of the active transmitters are continuously polled and displayed at the LCD
display in a scrolling way. The Controller also monitors the communication to all active transmitters and modules.
2.2 Alarm Mode
If the gas concentration reaches the programmed alarm threshold, the alarm is started, the assigned alarm relay
be read from the menu Alarm Status. When the gas concentration falls below the alarm threshold and hysteresis, the
alarm is automatically reset. In latching mode, the alarm has to be reset manually in the menu Relay Status or via a
digital input.
2.3 Fault Mode
If the Controller detects an incorrect communication at an active transmitter or module, or if a signal is outside the
displayed in the menu Error Status in clear text.
After removal of the cause, the error message must be acknowledged manually in the menu Error Status.

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. All menu windows are
visible without entering a code.
The release of a code level is canceled if no button is pushed within 15 minutes.
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 setpoints. All
settings can be treated with this password.
Priority 2: Lower Level (password 1234 – not changeable)
Code level priority 2 allows the operator:
- to acknowledge faults
- to manually operate the alarm relays
- to set date and time

4.6.4 Measuring Range Denition
The measuring range can be adjusted to the working range of the connected gas transmitter within 10 to 10000.
4.6.5 SP Signal Denition
Gas transmitter using electro-chemical or catalytic beat gas sensors normally produce a linear signal, proportional to
the gas concentration.
Semiconductor gas sensors produce a non-linear (exponential) signal due to the measuring function. This signal leads
again to a non-linear 4 to 20 mA signal of the gas transmitter.
