Single Point Gas Controller SPC3-11XX
1 Description
The PolyGard®SPC3 Gas Controller is used for measuring, monitoring and warning of toxic gases. The toxic sensor
(SP01) is mounted inside. One external gas transmitter (SP02) for toxic, combustible or refrigerant gases can be
controlled additionally. Four alarm Stage/Set Points are free adjustable for each Sensor point(SP). Every alarm
Stage/Set Point can be assigned to one of the maximum 4 alarm outputs (RX). The Gas Controller can interface via
the (0)4 to 20 mA or (0)2 to 10 V output signal with any compatible electronic analog control, DDC/PLC control or
automation system.
The free adjustable setups and alarm Stage/Set Point make a very flexible use in the gas measuring possible. Simple
and comfortable commissioning is possible due to factory-adjusted setups.
The configuration setup settings and operation is easy to do without programming knowledge.
The PolyGard®Single Point Gas Controller SPC3 must not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
The SPC3 may only be used within ambient conditions described in the Technical Data.

2.3 Code Level
Code Level 1 Default Password = (1234) / Code Level 2 Password = (9001)
All changes of setups and set point values are protected by a four-digit numeric code (= password).
The code level 1 permits the operation of the SPC3; this code level is intended for the customer. The code can be
changed individually via code level 2; see section 3.7.6.
In code level 2 all setups and set points are released; this code level is only for the service technician. Code level 2
cannot be changed or deleted.
The release of the code level is deleted if no button is pushed within 15 minutes.
All menu windows are visible without entering a code.

3.1 Fault Management
The integrated fault management records the last 15 faults with date and time stamps in the menu “System Errors.”
Additionally a record of the faults occurs in the “Error Memory”, which can be selected and reset only by the service
technician.
An actual fault is displayed in plain text in the starting menu. The failure relay, which is defined in the system setup
“Failure relay”, is activated. The yellow LED in the front of the gas controller flashes.
In case of fault of a sensor point (SP) the alarms defined in the menu “SP Setup” is activated additionally.
3.1.1 Acknowledge a Fault
Attention:
Acknowledging a fault is only possible after having removed the cause.
Select menu “System Errors”
Example: Failure SP 01 < 3 mA
Reset the fault?
Fault reset
Fault reset Cause not eliminated
Reset not possible
3.1.2 Error Memory
The menu “Error Memory“ in the main menu “System Error” can only be opened via code level 2.
In the error memory the last 15 faults are listed for the service technician even if they were already acknowledged in
the menu “System Error“. The deletion of each individual message is effected in the same way as the reset of a fault.

OFF status, the orange/ red alarm LED at the Gas Controller is lit continuously.
The external operation of the alarm relay via an assigned digital input has priority to the manual operation in the menu
"Relay Status" and to gas alarm.
Relays manually operated in the menu “Relay Status” are deleted again by selecting the function "Automatic."
Acknowledging the relays in latching mode is also effected in this menu.
