All inputs and changes are protected by a four-digit numeric code (= password) against unauthorised
intervention according to the regulations of all national and international standards for gas warning systems.
The menu windows of status messages and measuring values are visible without entering a code.
The access to a code level is cancelled if no button is pushed within 15 minutes or if there is no data
communication between display and basic board.
The code levels are classified in order of priority: Priority 1 has top priority.
4 Menu Overview
Menu operation is done via a clear, intuitive and logical menu structure. The operating menu contains the
following levels:
Starting menu with indication of the device type if no MP is registered. Otherwise scrolling display of
the gas concentrations of all registered sensors in 5-second intervals. If alarms are active, only the
values of the sensors currently in alarm status are displayed.

The menu „Error Memory“ in the main menu “Error Status” can only be opened via the code level priority 1.
In the error memory, the first 50 faults that have occurred and have already been acknowledged in the menu
“Error Status” are listed for the service technician in a power failure safe way.
Attention:
This memory should always be read during maintenance, relevant faults should be tracked and entered
in the service logbook, and finally the memory should be emptied.

Testing the LCD hardware. All LEDs light up for about two seconds. The backlight is yellow. (Green and red
are activated at the same time). All points are displayed on the LCD.
The terms energized / de-energized come from the terms “energized / de-energized to trip” 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 changeover contacts and available in both principles).
The LEDs at the modules show the state in analogy. (LED off -> relay coil current-free)
The function "Flashing" offers a connection option for warning devices to improve visibility. The frequency is
about 1 second with an impulse / pause rate of 1:1.
If “Flashing” is set, the output circuit mustn’t be used as a safe output any more.
The combination of relay mode energized with flashing operation makes no sense and is therefore suppressed.
The signal source determines whether the relay is triggered by an alarm in the I/O board (local) or from the
central unit (remote).
In some applications it is necessary that the relay switches only at the n th alarm. Here you can set the number
of active alarms necessary for relay tripping. For security applications, the relay must always switch on the first
alarm.
The horn function of the alarm relay is activated 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.
This feature is not allowed for safety-related alarm messages because the output is resettable.

Assignment of a digital input (DI) for the external switching on and off of the alarm relay.
This function has priority to gas alarm.
If External ON and External OFF are configured to the same relay and both are active at the same time, so in
this state, the External OFF command has priority. In this mode, too, the relay works respecting the parameter
settings "Static / Flashing" and "Energized / De-energized".

4.9 MP Parameters
Reading (code level 1) and changing (code level 1) of the parameters for each measuring point.
The physically present sensor head is registered at the basic device for its evaluation. After activation the
measured gas signal is evaluated and the sensor head specifications are monitored. Existing alarms and faults
are cleared with deactivation of the sensor.
Attention: Deactivation of a sensor head does not cause a fault message.

For each measuring point four alarm thresholds are available for free definition. If the gas concentration is
higher than the set alarm threshold, the associated alarm is activated. If the gas concentration falls below the
alarm threshold minus the hysteresis the alarm is reset again. In the mode “Alarm at falling” the corresponding
alarm is set in case of falling below the set alarm threshold and reset again when exceeding the threshold plus
hysteresis.
The presentation of the alarm thresholds depends on the set measuring range: See chapter Gas Type and
Measuring Range.
The alarm thresholds are freely selectable in the range from 0 to 100 % of the measuring range.
The alarm threshold is only stored, if the value is ≥ the low-order alarm threshold.
Unused alarm thresholds have to be defined with 0, in order to avoid undesired alarms.
Higher-level alarms automatically activate the lower-level alarms.
Lowest hysteresis: 3 % of the lowest alarm threshold
Highest hysteresis: 50 % of the lowest alarm threshold
The alarm evaluation of the operation mode “Average” is overridden by the current value, if this one exceeds
the alarm threshold and delay time defined in the menu "System Parameters AV Overlay". The overlay is
delayed by the time factor entered in the local menu. The function of the average overlay is only activated for
the gas type CO.

SBH - 0100
In this menu you can assign the latching mode to each alarm.
The acknowledgment of an alarm in latching mode is carried out in the menu Alarm status. See chapter 4.2.
In this menu you can define, which alarms should be activated by a fault at the measuring point. If the fault is
remedied, the alarm is automatically reset.
Each of the four alarms can be assigned to any alarm relay 1 – X registered in the menu Relay Parameters by
entering the relay address right under the alarm. One alarm relay can be assigned to multiple alarms. Unused
alarms aren’t assigned. The number of physically present alarm relays depends on the device type.
For PolyXeta®2 devices there is only one alarm relay (address 1), the fault relay can also be used for alarm
message (address 2). The relay has to be registered in the menu Relay Parameters. The fault message
function, however, remains unaffected.
The measuring signal can be assigned to two analog outputs by entering the address of the analog output
instead of x and y. The number of physically available analog outputs depends on the device type.
PolyXeta®2 devices only have one analog output, so no parameter setting is possible for y.
The analog outputs are configured in the menu System Parameters, AO Function.

The maintenance interval can be entered individually in the basic unit and in each sensor head. Therefore the
complete unit can have multiple maintenance messages. On SC and SX, the factory-set maintenance interval
can only be read out.
See also description Maintenance Concept in the user manual of the corresponding device.
Average Time
XXXX Sec.
In the menu “Average Time” you can define the time base for the calculation of the arithmetic average value
(30 measurements within the time base). This average value can be used for alarm evaluation as an alternative
to the current value. The selection which value should be used for evaluation is defined separately for each
alarm in the menu “Alarm Threshold X”. In the average mode, the average value is indicated in the menu
“Measuring Values” next to the current value.
The alarm evaluation of the operating mode “Average Value” is overlaid by the current value, when the current
value exceeds the alarm threshold defined in the menu “AV-Overlay”. The overlay is delayed by the time factor
defined in this menu. The average overlay function is only available for the gas type CO.
Both menus are available and operable in the basic device. The menu "Average Time" is also available in the
sensor head for reading the time base.
Gas sensors need a running-in period, until the chemical process of the sensor reaches stable conditions.
During this running-in period the sensor signal can lead to an unwanted triggering of a pseudo alarm. Therefore
the Power On time is started at each basic unit and each sensor head after power-on or voltage recovery.
While this time is running out, the device is in special mode and doesn’t activate alarms. The Power On time
appears in the starting menu. During this phase the sensor head transmits "Warm-up time" instead of the
measured value.
The Power On Time of the individual components may be different. Only when the longest time has expired,
the system starts the measuring operation.
The recommended Power On Time is also dependent on the type of gas and can be found in the respective
user manual. On SC and SX, the factory-set maintenance intervals can only be read out.

With the relay multiplication table, it is possible to assign an additional alarm relay to an alarm. This
corresponds in the end to one multiplication of the source alarm situation per entry.
The additional relay follows the alarm status of the source, but uses its own relay parameters to allow
different needs of the doubled relay. So the source relay can be configured, for example, as safety
function in de-energized mode, but the doubled relay can be declared with flashing function or as horn
function.
There is a maximum of two entries for IN relays and OUT relays. Thus it is possible, for example, to
expand one relay to two others or to double max. two relays.
In the column IN (source), you can set the relay assigned to an alarm in the menu MP Parameter.
In the column OUT (target), you can enter the relay needed in addition.
Note:
Manual intervention in the menu Relay Status or override in external ON or OFF by external DI do not
count as alarm status, so they do only affect the IN relay. If this is also desired for the OUT relays, it has
to be configured separately for each OUT relay.
Example:
2 relay contacts are needed with the same effect as relay 3, (see assignment of the relays in chapter MP
Parameters.)

Entry: 1: IN AR3 OUT AR4 1: AR 3 AR 4.

In this menu, the alarm relays can be manually turned on and off in order to test their function.
This menu is only available in special mode and only for the locally controlled relays. The relays in remote
mode must be tested from DGC06.
The manual operation takes priority over activation by a gas alarm. However, the external activation of the
alarm relays via a digital input takes priority over the manual test function.
The test mode simulates an alarm for the relay and the relay accepts the alarm status. The test function is
deleted by selecting "Automatic" or by exiting the Special Mode.
The testing is possible via code level 1 and 4.

The data of the sensor head (SC, SX) assigned at input 1 are sent with this basis slave address to the gas
controller via the fieldbus.
The base unit requires / occupies a slave address for each connected sensor head. In the next menu, you can
enter the number of occupied addresses. When the number is > 1, the address(es) following the basis address
is / are automatically occupied.
If an address is assigned, it is displayed in the menu Measurement Values next to the letter D (digital
measuring point).
Example:
SB2 with two sensor heads (SC2 1110 at Input 1 and SC2 3400 at Input 2).
Slave address 4 was assigned to the SB2 Board. The number of occupied addresses is 2. Thus, the SC2 1110
occupies Address 4 and SC2 3400 Address 5. The next available address of the system is Address 6.
No intervention is possible for devices with fixed number of occupied addresses (e.g. PX2 with only one sensor
head).
Note: The system doesn’t prevent the addresses to be assigned twice.

5.3 Maintenance
We recommend checking the system regularly. Due to regular maintenance differences in efficiency can easily
be corrected. Re-calibration and replacement of parts can be realised on site by a qualified technician with the
appropriate tools. Alternatively the removable Gas Controller can be returned to MSR-Electronic GmbH for
services.
