MULTI GAUGE CONTROLLER INTRODUCTION
1 INTRODUCTION
Please read this manual carefully to ensure the optimum operating conditions and safety of the
user. This user manual handbook contains important information about functionality, installation,
start-up and operation of the MG15 device.
1.1 INFORMATION ABOUT VERSION - RELEASE NOTE
Information about MG15 device version can be found at www.prevac.eu, in the DOWNLOAD tab.
There is information about any possible changes in subsequent versions of the device or software.
1.2 INTENDED USE
The MG15 multi gauge controller is a universal devices controlled by a microprocessor, able to sup-
port several types of pressure gauges in a range of 2 ⋅ 10mbar to 2 ⋅ 10mbar (depending on the
gauge used). The concept and design of the controller enable stable and reliable integration of the
comprehensive process control systems. The MG15 is able to support up to seven gauges, includ-
ing up to three passive and four active gauges. Optionally, the user may on placing an order choose
the number of supported passive (with hot cathode) and an additional communication interface
(ProiNet). In further part of the manual the device will be referred to as the ”MG15”.
1.3 SAFETY
The owner of the device must ensure that all the users have been informed about the safety require-
ments contained in this manual. In the event of sale or transfer of the device to another owner this
manual should be attached.
1.3.1 PERSONNEL QUALIFICATIONS
All work described in this document may only be carried out by persons who have suitable technical
training and the necessary experience or who have been instructed by the inal user of the device.
1.3.2 ILLUSTRATION OF RESIDUAL DANGERS
This user manual illustrates safety notes concerning dangers as follows:
1. Information on potential serious accident or personal injury.
User manual rev. 03 Page 11

INTRODUCTION MULTI GAUGE CONTROLLER
2. Information on possible damage to the device.
3. Information on correct handling or use. Disregarding safety notes can lead to malfunctions
or device damage.
4. Note. Indicates particularly important, but not safety-relevant information.
1.3.3 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The MG15 has been designed to maximally protect the user and his environment against burns or
electric shocks, mechanical hazards, high temperature and ire spreading out of the device. The
environmental conditions different from those speciied below may pose a threat to the user and
his environment:
• Use inside buildings.
• Elevation above sea level of up to 2000 metres.
• Temperature range of safe operation: 5°C do 40°C.
• Maximum relative humidity: 80% (to 31°C), decreased linearly down to max. 50% at 40°C.
• Fluctuations of supply voltage cannot exceed ±10% of the rated value.
• Protection class 1.
During all the operations carried out with the use of the device described in this manual, observe
the applicable safety regulations. Observe all the safety notes given in this document and forward
the information to all other users of the device. Pay particular attention to the following safety
notes:
Supply voltage.
Contact with live parts is extremely hazardous when any objects are introduced
or any liquids penetrate into the device.
Make sure that no objects enter through the vent holes of the device. Keep the
device dry.
Page 12 User manual rev. 03

MULTI GAUGE CONTROLLER INTRODUCTION
Fire of device.
If smoke or lames coming from the device are sighted, disconnect power sup-
ply immediately (by unplugging the power cord, or if it is not possible by dis-
connecting a relevant circuit in the switchboard powering the device). Remove
lammable materials at a safe distance. Start extinguishing the ire. If the power
supply could not be disconnected use only E-type extinguishers or dry-powder
extinguishers designed to extinguish equipment under voltage.
Improper installation, operation or use.
Improper installation, operation or use may damage the MG15 . Strictly adhere
to the stipulated installation and operation data.
Self-coniguration of the device.
Self-coniguration of the MG15 by the user through the service application re-
sults in waiver of the PREVAC’s liability for proper functioning of the device.
Figure 1.1: Make sure that no objects enter through the vent holes of the device. Keep the device
dry.
Failure to observe the general safety instructions may result in potentially dangerous situa-
tions.
User manual rev. 03 Page 13

INTRODUCTION MULTI GAUGE CONTROLLER
1.3.4 GROUNDING
The MG15 is the class 1 device. To minimize a risk of electric shock connect the device to the mains
with a 3-conductor mains cable. Conductor cross-section should be min. 1 mm2 (17AWG). Plug the
mains cable into wall sockets with protective ground only.
1.3.5 INTERNAL CIRCUITS OF DEVICE
The operating personnel cannot remove the device covers. The device does not contain any inter-
nal control systems and replaceable elements, which could be operated by unauthorized persons.
Replace any attached components only after disconnecting the mains cable. To avoid electric shock
always disconnect the mains cable, any external voltage sources and discharge the output circuits.
1.3.6 SPARE PARTS AND MODIFICATIONS
Replacement of spare parts, modiications and repairs may be carried out only by the PREVAC’s
authorized personnel. Therefore, the device must be delivered to the PREVAC’s service.
1.3.7 VENTILATION
The device has vent holes located on the side panels of the enclosure. Do not cover the vent holes
during the operation of the device.
1.3.8 OPERATION IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Operation in explosive atmospheres.
The device cannot be used in the presence of lammable gases or vapours. The
device cannot be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
1.3.9 CLEANING
Keep the device dry. For cleaning device’s enclosure, use only moistened cloth. Do not use any
aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents.

MULTI GAUGE CONTROLLER INSTALLATION
2 INSTALLATION
This chapter describes the procedures for unpacking, mechanical installation and electrical instal-
lation. Take care when lifting the unit that the weight and position do not exceed comfortable limits.
2.1 UNPACKING
1. Visually inspect the transport packaging for signs of external damage.
2. Unpack the MG15 .
Note: Retain the packaging materials for later use. The MG15 must be stored and trans-
ported in the original packaging material only.
3. Examine the MG15 for completeness.
4. Visually inspect the MG15 for signs of damage.
Damaged product.
Using the destroyed or damaged device or connection cables can result in elec-
tric shock. Never attempt to put a damaged product into operation. Secure
the damaged product from unintended operation. Send a damage report to the
courier company or the insurer.
2.2 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The MG15 device can be mounted in a DIN 41 494 (19”, 3 HU) cabinet/rack, occupying half of its
width. In each of these cases you must pay attention to the following safety note.
Ambient temperature.
Exceeding the maximum permitted ambient temperature may damage the de-
vice.
Before switching on the device, make sure that the maximum permitted ambi-
ent temperature is not exceeded and that the air can low freely through the
vent holes.
Do not expose the device to direct sun.

INSTALLATION MULTI GAUGE CONTROLLER
Protection class of the rack.
If the product is installed in a rack, the protection class of the rack (protection
from foreign bodies and water) is likely to be lowered, e.g. according to the EN
60204-1 regulations for switching cabinets.
Take appropriate measures to restore the required protection class of the rack.
2.3 COOLING
The MG15 is equipped with a cooling system. The power unit is equipped with a suction fan. Air is
supplied from the panels located by the power unit enclosure. Hot air outlet is located on the rear
panel. At least 15mm should be ensured to let air get inside from the side panels. The MG15 should
not be operated at temperatures exceeding 40°C.
2.4 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
2.4.1 POWER SUPPLY
The main mains connection is an IEC 320 socket on the rear wall of the device. The MG15 enclosure
is grounded to protect the user against electric shock. Always connect the device to a socket with
protective ground. If necessary, contact an electrician before connecting the device. A suitable
mains cable is supplied with the device. If the plug is not compatible with the socket, use a suitable
mains cable:
• Three-conductor cable with protective ground.
• Conductor cross-section should be min. 1mm(17AWG).
