Multi Point Controller MGC2
1 Description
The PolyGard® Multi Point Controller MGC2 is used for the monitoring and warning of sensor points exceeding
their stage setpoints. External Transmitters can monitor and warn of toxic, combustible and refrigerant gases as
well as temperature and humidity. The Controller MGC2 can measure up to twenty analog 4 to 20 mA (Gas)
Transmitters.. Each Sensor Point (SP) can have five stage thresholds. Each stage threshold can be assigned to
anyone of the relays (R1…R20). The Controller can interface via ten 4 to 20 mA outputs to any compatible
electronic analog control, DDC/PLC control or automation system.
The adjustable parameters and staged thresholds make this system very flexible for sensor measuring and
control.
The configuration of parameter settings and operation is easy to do without any programming knowledge.
PolyGard® Multi Point Controller MGC2 must not be used in areas requiring explosion proof equipment.

2.3 Password Level
All changes of parameters and staged setpoint values are protected by four digit numeric Code (= password).
The code level 1 permits the operation of the MGC2. This code level is intended for the customer. It can be
changed in the System Setup Menu “Change Customer Password”
With the code level 2 all parameters and set points can be changed, this code level is reserved for the service
technician.
A password must be re-entered if there is 15 minutes of inactivity.
All menu windows are visible without a password.
Factory preprogrammed system password "9001".

3.1 Malfunction management
Malfunction management records the last 15 malfunctions with date and time stamps. In addition, “System Errors”
are recorded in “Error Memory” when the malfunction occurs. This history can be selected and cleared only by the
service technician level 2 password.
A malfunction will display a text message in the Starting Menu. When a failure occurs the relay defined in the
system setup as “Failure relay” is activated. The red LED in the front of the Controller flashes.
During the malfunction of a sensor point (SP) stages that are assigned for sensor failure are activated. Relays that
are assigned to these stages perform as if the stage has been exceeded. These assignments are programmed in
the menu “SP Setup”.

With this parameter the relay is defined as a horn relay and can be acknowledged with the following possibilities.
By pressing one of the arbitrary 6 pushbuttons. (Only possible in the starting menu).
Automatic acknowledging when the time runs out.
By an external pushbutton. (Assigned to an appropriate digital input).
The horn function is activated only if at least one of the two parameters (time or digital input) is set.
Special function Response

still exceeded, the relay is energized again.

1 Range Recommendations for PolyGard sensors
2 During oxygen measurement falling signal!
3.6.3 Measuring range
The measuring range can be defined from 10 to 10000. The measuring ranges in the above table are typical and
only recommendations. For actual ranges see the sensor manufacturing specifications.
The measuring range must agree with the signal (4 to 20 mA) for active transmitters.
(4 mA = Display=0, 20 mA = Display Measuring range = max. point)
3.6.4 SP Signal
Gas transmitter with electro-chemical or catalytic bead sensors are linear for gas concentration proportional to the
4 to 20 mA signal.
Semiconductor gas sensors that are not linear and have a (exponential) signal. This signal is non-linear 4 to 20
mA signal from the gas transmitter.
The Controller MGC2 has the capability to monitor both types of gas transmitters, and other linear 4-20 mA
sensors. The type of signal is defined in this menu.

not linear = Transmitter with non linear Output signal (future).

3.6.5 Stage/Setpoint / Hysteresis
Each sensor point can have five stages with set point values. If the measured level is greater than the defined
stage/set point, the associated stage is set. If the level falls below the stage/setpoint plus the hysteresis then the
stage returns to original condition.
It is recommended that the unused stages be set to max of sensor range to avoid the alarm light from false
reporting.
For O2 measurement on depletion consider when defining stage setpoints that stages will be set on a falling
measuring signal!
