flammable liquids or vapors. Operaon of electrical equipment in such
an area constutes a safety hazard.
WARNING: Strictly follow the instrucons in the Gas Detector Manual (part
number 6309-9000) available at
www.MyBacharach.com.
1: OPERATING AREA AND CONDITIONS
The Bacharach MGS-150 is an instrument for the
connuous monitoring of refrigerant, combusble,
and toxic gases.
The instrument is powered by 12-24V AC or DC (selectable by an on-board jumper). The output signal can be
selected as either voltage or current. The on-board
relay can be used to switch alarm devices.

5: WIRING AND CONFIGURATION
Electrochemical (EC) or Infrared (IR) Sensor
CABLE OPENINGS: Each MGS-150 IP41 transmier
will have a single opening for a PG7 cable gland, as
well as an oponal knockout opening. Each
MGS-150 IP66 tranmier has 3 openings These
openings can be used for field wiring, direct aachment of a sensor or wiring of a remote sensor.
Unused openings must be closed with a suitable
plug and gasket, maintaining the IP or Ex d rang.
NOTE: To make wiring connecons,
you must first open the MGS-150
housing. The enclosure lid of the IP66
housing has four capve screws.
Refer to the User Manual (part number
6309-9000) at www.MyBacharach.com for detailed
instrucons on accessing the internal components
for wiring.
NOTE: For AC-powered configuraons, ensure that the AC neutral
supply line is not used as the ground
reference for the analog outputs.
NOTE: Aer wiring is completed,
carefully re-assemble the enclosure
and its components, nong the
keyed ribbon cable and sensor
connectors. Aer installaon is
complete, be sure to refer to the
User Manual (part number
6309-9000) at www.MyBacharach.com for detailed instrucons on
registering the sensors and configuring the MGS-150 for proper
operaon.
IMPORTANT CONFIGURATION
NOTE: For detecon of R449A or
R450A, the maximum linear range
of 500 ppm equals 50% of the
range of the analog output (e.g.,
500 ppm = 12 mA, when using
4-20mA output). Data above this
range should be discarded as
invalid. The alarm set point must
not be adjusted higher than 500
ppm for these gases.
