1.5. Functional Overview
1.5.1. General Description
Gas monitors are specified to support compliance to federal, state and local safety codes governing emissions. Avoiding significant loss reduces equipment replacement costs, maintains equipment efficiency, promotes safety, and protects the environment.
The Bacharach Multi-Zone Monitor provides continuous monitoring of gas levels in up to 16 separate test zones. The instrument is easily programmed to monitor a variety of gases (dependent on particular model) and independent leak (small), spill (medium), and evacuation (large) levels may be designated for each zone. The instrument also retains a log of previous readings that can be easily accessed for analysis.
Multi-Zone Gas Monitors
4 P/N: 3015-5074 Rev 16
An audible alarm and front panel indicators are provided to signal alarm and fault conditions, and relay contacts are provided that can be used to trigger external alarm devices in the event of a system fault, or if a leak (small), spill (medium), or evacuation (large) level of gas is detected. The system also may be fitted with and optional two-channel 4-20 mA current loop board for connection to remote monitoring equipment.
The multi-zone monitor requires only minor periodic maintenance such as the occasional replacement of filters. The monitor incorporates active diagnostics that continuously check the system for proper operation. A front panel indicator is provided to alert an operator of system malfunctions, and fault codes are generated that enable the user to identify the cause of the fault.
1.5.2. Communications Options
The multi-zone monitor features full two-way communications via an RS-485 interface. MODBUS RTU is the communications protocol standard. The instrument can be connected directly to a Building Management System or it may be operated as a stand-alone system.
An RS-232C port is also provided for connection to a PC. This enables the monitor to be setup from a personal computer. Refer to Appendix B for more information on communications protocols.
1.5.3. Understanding Monitoring Levels
Effective use of this instrument requires an understanding of what constitutes reasonable alarm set points for the types of gas being monitored. Manufacturers define allowable exposure levels and threshold limit values in units of parts per million (ppm). In a good “tight” installation these background levels will be acceptably low and often do not require corrective action. You can reduce nuisance alarms and needless service calls if the alarm levels are set at practical limits. Bacharach has developed recommended monitoring refrigerant gas levels based on compliance to ANSI/BSR ASHRAE 15-2007 and ASHRAE Safety Code 34-2007. These reference levels are listed in Appendix A.
Setting the monitor at these recommended alarm levels will satisfy the needs of most users. However, the ppm levels generated by system leaks into the environment are greatly influenced by the volume of air in the sampling area, air circulation, size of the leak, distance to the monitoring point, and a host of other variables. In some cases the set points may need to be adjusted either up or down to achieve effective monitoring.
1.5.4. Response to the Presence of Multiple Refrigerants (HGM Only)
The HGM-MZ is a refrigerant level monitor, not a gas analyzer. You must program the monitor to test for a specific refrigerant, and it will only return accurate concentration readings for that particular refrigerant. If a leak occurs of another refrigerant gas type, the monitor may return incorrect readings.
Most applications only require detection of a single refrigerant and the problems that are associated with monitoring multiple gases are rarely an issue. If there is a possibility of multiple refrigerants leaking in the same sampling zone, then you should carefully consider which refrigerant compound you program the unit to monitor.
1.5.5. Suggested Location of Sampling Points
At the point of a leak the gas is nearly pure. As the gas is dispersed into the air, the gas molecules diffuse, causing a dilution of the original concentration. The monitor measures the concentration at the sample collection point. Therefore, if the termination of the collection line is not at the exact point of the leak, the unit will read a diluted mixture of the gas and air.
Gases of interest may be heavier or lighter than air and may collect above or below the point of the leak. Therefore sampling point placement is critical and must take into account properties of the target gas and air flow within the space. In general, sampling points should be located as close as possible to the sources of potential leaks. If this is impractical, then alarm set points for that zone should be adjusted to compensate for the dilution of the gas. General placement guidelines are shown in 2.2.5., but air-flow dynamics should also be considered (e.g., consider the effects of exhaust fans which tend to draw target gas from the space).
DO NOT block any of the zones. Unused zones may be disabled by setting the distance parameter to zero feet in the zone setup screen.
Multi-Zone Gas Monitors
P/N: 3015-5074 Rev 16 5
The MZ monitor should be centrally located in the mechanical room and be readily accessible for easy visual monitoring and servicing. The combined length of sample tubing plus exhaust tubing should not exceed 1200 ft (366 m) for any zone. The fresh air purge line should draw from an area that does not contain any gas other than fresh air. The exhaust line should run to an outside location if possible.
NOTE: The combined length of the purge line and the exhaust line cannot exceed 500 feet.
Ideally, two to three pick up points spaced around each chiller will provide sufficient coverage. It may be necessary to perform a smoke test of the mechanical room to determine the best locations. The smoke test provides the pattern of air currents present in the mechanical room.
The MZ monitor should be kept dry. When used in a wet or humid area, it is highly recommended to use the optional water stop accessory to avoid internal damage.
1.5.6. Locating a Remote Display (Optional)
The Remote Display (RD) Module should be mounted outside of the mechanical room, or just inside the room’s doorway if the first option isn’t possible. This is the “split architecture design” for safety of the operator. The RD can be located up to 4500 feet (1372 m) from the MZ monitor. The RD is the man machine interface by which you program the MZ, acknowledge alarms and observe conditions inside of the mechanical room. Note that there are two additional alarm relay contacts in the RD that can be programmed to alarm on leak, spill, evacuate, fault, or monitor on conditions.
Figure 1-2. HGM-MZ (Halogen) and RD Placement in a Mechanical Room
NOTE: The pickup points located on the floor in the above illustration are examples for
refrigerants which are heavier than air. Placement of pickup points should be determined based on characteristics of the gas being monitored and ambient conditions of the sampling area. (Air=28.9 g/mole, CO2=44.0 g/mole, NH3=17.0 g/mole, and halogens = 100+ g/mole.)

SECTION 2. INSTALLATION
2.1. Installation Considerations
2.1.1. Warnings and Cautions
WARNING: Explosion hazard! Do not mount the MZ monitor in an area that may contain
flammable liquids, vapors, or aerosols. Operation of any electrical equipment in such an environment constitutes a safety hazard.
WARNING: Shock hazard! Always disconnect AC power before working inside the monitor.
CAUTION: Drilling holes in the MZ enclosure may damage the unit and will void the warranty. Please use the knockouts provided for electrical connections.
CAUTION: The MZ monitor contains sensitive electronic components that can be easily damaged. Do not touch nor disturb any of these components.
2.1.2. Inspection
The MZ monitor has been thoroughly inspected and tested prior to shipment from the factory. Nevertheless, it is recommended that the monitor be re-checked prior to installation. Inspect the outside of the enclosure to make sure there are no obvious signs of shipping damage. Open the enclosure and inspect the interior of the monitor for loose components that may have become dislodged during shipment. If damage is discovered, please contact the nearest Bacharach Service Center for assistance.
2.1.3. Location of the Monitor
The MZ monitor should be centrally located in the facility and should be easily accessible for visual monitoring and servicing. Combined length of the intake sample line and the exhaust line cannot exceed 1200 feet (366 m) in length, but it is important to remember that sampling cycle time is proportional to the total number and length of individual sample lines.
Dirt, grease, and oils can adversely affect the operation of the MZ monitor. The monitor should be installed out of direct sunlight in a clean, dry area that is not subject to temperature or humidity extremes. Installation of the monitor in a mechanical room is acceptable provided reasonable environmental conditions exist. If there is a question, consider installing the unit outside of the mechanical room in a cleaner area of the facility.
NOTE: The mounting location of the monitor should allow it to be easily accessible for visual monitoring and servicing.
2.1.4. Mounting Instructions
NOTE: The MZ monitor should be installed plumb and level and securely fastened to a rigid
mounting surface.
Multi-Zone Gas Monitors
P/N: 3015-5074 Rev 16 9
The enclosure utilizes keyhole mounting brackets designed for ¼ inch fasteners. Locate the four screws as shown in the diagram below or by using the provided mounting template (P/N 3015-5109). Allow the screw heads to protrude approximately ¼ inch.
Figure 2-1. MZ Monitor Mounting Specifications
Hold the monitor flat against the mounting surface and allow it to slide down, engaging the screw heads in the keyhole slots of the mounting brackets. Adjust the screws as necessary to hold the monitor securely against the mounting surface.
2.2. Connecting Gas Sample Lines
2.2.1. Overview
Individual gas sample lines are run from the MZ monitor to each area of the facility to be monitored. Additionally, a purge line is installed to provide clean air for resetting the infrared zero baseline. All air, sample, and purge line connections are located on the left side of the enclosure. Refer to the illustration below.
Multi-Zone Gas Monitors
10 P/N: 3015-5074 Rev 16
Figure 2-2. MZ Monitor Side View
2.2.2. Tubing Considerations
Use ¼ (6.35 mm) outside diameter (0.040 or 1.016 mm wall) flex tubing for all air lines (P/N 3015-3235) or equivalent. The tubing should be clean and free of residual moisture or other contaminants. The tubing should be cut cleanly with a sharp knife and care should be taken not to distort the tubing end.
To connect the air lines to the monitor simply push the tubing firmly onto the connector. To remove a line, press the plastic ring on the connector with one hand, then withdraw the tube with your other hand. See below.
The Multi-Zone monitor uses push­to-connect (PTC) style connectors.
To insert sample lines, firmly push the appropriate tubing into the hole in the center of the connector until it seats in the connector. Refer to the figures at the left.
To remove tubing from a PTC connector, push and hold the spring-loaded collar inwards, then simultaneously withdraw the tubing. Refer to the figures at the right.
Figure 2-3. Using PTC Connectors: Connecting (Left) and Disconnecting (Right)
All tubing bends should have a radius of no less than 5 (12.7 cm) to ensure proper airflow. If kinks or obstructions occur in any of the air lines the instrument may not function properly.
2.2.3. Connecting Purge Line
A purge line is an intake line that is required to draw fresh air into the instrument and should not exceed 300 feet (91.44 mm) in length. It is advisable to terminate the purge line outdoors, provided the input is not exposed to rain, snow, ice, exhaust fumes, or other airborne contaminates. If an outdoor installation is impractical, the line should be run to an area inside the facility that you are certain is not contaminated with ambient gas. If this is not possible, an optional charcoal filter assembly (P/N 3015-3125) can be used
Multi-Zone Gas Monitors
P/N: 3015-5074 Rev 16 11
with the Halogen Gas Monitor to filter refrigerant from the purge line. It may be mounted adjacent to the monitor. A line-end filter (P/N 3015-3420) should be attached to the end of the purge line when the charcoal filter is not used. Note that the charcoal filter option must NOT be used in ammonia or CO2 applications.
IMPORTANT (CO2 Only): Because CO2 is present in ambient air, the purge line MUST BE run outside, away from any known sources of CO2 gas. An atmospheric CO2 concentration value can be manually entered by the user in the CAL screen. See CO2 Atmospheric Concentration (page 43).
2.2.4. Connecting Exhaust Line
An exhaust line can be used when it is required to vent gas samples away from the instrument and should not exceed 300 feet (91.44 mm) in length. The exhaust line should terminate in a location that is completely isolated from the purge line termination point and other areas of the facility that will be monitored. Ideally this line should terminate outdoors in a location that is not exposed to the elements. This line does not require a line-end filter. If the exhaust line terminates outside the building, position the tubing so that no water or moisture can enter it.
2.2.5. Connecting Sample Intake Lines
The MZ monitor is designed to accommodate up to 16 separate sample intake lines. The standard configuration of the unit includes one manifold of 4 intake connectors and 1 purge connector. Additional manifolds can be easily installed to increase monitoring capacity (field installation kit P/N 3015-5171, and 4 zone line end filter kit P/N 3015-3411).
Sample intake lines can be up to 1,200 feet (366 m) when no exhaust tubing is used. Otherwise, the combined length of the sample line and the exhaust line cannot exceed 1,200 ft (366 m). All line terminations should be positioned to reduce the possibility of mists, aerosols, oil, water, dust, or other contaminates being drawn into the instrument. A line-end filter (P/N 3015-3420) should be attached to the end of each sample intake line. General placement guidelines are shown below, but air-flow dynamics should also be considered (e.g., consider the effects of exhaust fans which tend to draw target gas from the space).
HGM-MZ Halogen Mount sampling points 6-18 inches above floor
ETHYLENE-MZ Ethylene Mount sampling points 6-18 inches above floor
AGM-MZ NH3 (Ammonia) Mount sampling points 1-2 feet below ceiling
CO2-MZ CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) Mount sampling points 4-6 feet above floor (breathing zone)
IMPORTANT: DO NOT block any of the zones. Unused zones may be disabled by setting their length parameter to zero in the zone setup screen10.
Depending on type of use and location of lines, the end-of-line water stop filter assembly can be used to prohibit moisture from entering the intake lines. Three (3) end-of-line water stop filters are supplied with a standard unit. Place the end of the intake line into the blue receiver of the end of line water stop and tighten sufficiently.
NOTE: Only one filter assembly, either the line-end filter or end-of-line water stop, should be used for each line.
Please refer to the earlier section Suggested Location of Sampling Points (page 4) to learn more about where to place the ends of the sample intake lines.
Multi-Zone Gas Monitors
12 P/N: 3015-5074 Rev 16
2.2.6. Installing an Optional Splitter Kit
Splitter kits are made available which allow the MZ unit to take gas sample readings from several sample points while utilizing just a single zone. These kits are designed for use ONLY in confined/defined spaces with high potential for leaks, such as food cases, cold rooms, refrigeration rack rooms, etc. Bacharach’s 2-way (P/N 3015-5404) and 3-way (P/N 3015-5405) splitter kits are available as optional accessories. Refer to instruction 3015-5415 (supplied with the kit) for detailed installation instruction.
2.2.7. Connecting the Water Trap
The water trap is an optional accessory for applications that result in water or condensation frequently entering the intake lines. This is available in a manual style trap (P/N 0007-1655) which is manually emptied once it has become filled. Install the water trap close to the unit for the most effective results. The intake line may be cut where the user finds appropriate (preferably close to monitor). Each side of the intake line should be inserted into the receivers on either side of the water trap. Secure tightly. A replacement filter (P/N 0007-1656) for the water trap is available and is replaced by unscrewing the clear plastic cup of the water trap, pulling the filter directly out (do not unscrew), and inserting the new filter into place. Replace the cup of the water trap. If desired, an optional mounting bracket (0007-1657) may be used to secure the water trap in place.
NOTE: The termination filter (P/N 3015-3420) or end-of-line water stop filter (P/N 3015-
5512) should be used, regardless of the presence of a water trap.
IMPORTANT: Extreme or humid temperatures may cause water to condense in the tubes. A water trap is highly recommended for use in these scenarios.

2.3. Interior Components
Figure 2-4. MZ Monitor Interior Components
NOTE: The plastic cable ties surrounding the air pump are to ensure safe handling during
shipping. Please remove before operation. Reinstall a plastic cable around the air pump if the unit is shipped to Bacharach, Inc. for service or repair. This prevents damage during shipping.
2.4. Electrical Wiring
The MZ monitor uses a universal power supply that is capable of accepting inputs of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. The monitor’s power consumption is 20 Watts. It is highly recommended that the monitor be connected directly to the AC power source, preferably on its own circuit. The AC power connection should be completed with UL listed 3-conductor wire (minimum 16 AWG), rated 300 VAC at 105°C.
Locate a convenient service knockout and install electrical conduit in the typical manner. Locate the AC Input Terminal Block and Ground Stud on the inside of the monitor. Prepare the wiring by
stripping the insulation back 3/8” (10 mm). Insert the incoming AC power neutral (white), earth ground, and
live (black) wires to the Neutral (N) earth ground, and LINE 1 (L1) terminal locations as shown in the Figure
2.5. Use a screwdriver to depress the Terminal Block contact and fully insert the stripped wire end. The Terminal Block includes two positions for each wire, which may be used to connect other AC powered devices; typical AC external alarm relay 1 wiring shown in Figure 2.14.
Multi-Zone Gas Monitors
14 P/N: 3015-5074 Rev 16
If required by local electrical codes, use the supplied crimp-on ring terminals, washers, and nut to connect additional grounding to the monitor’s Ground Stud.
Using the supplied crimp-on ring terminals, washers, and nuts, connect the incoming AC power ground wire (green) to the monitor’s AC input ground stud, and then install a separate wire between the ground stud and the GND terminal.
WARNING: Electrical installation should be performed by a certified electrician, and must comply with all applicable NEC/CEC and local electrical safety codes.
WARNING: Copper conductors for connection to supply mains must be made in accordance with NEC/CEC and local codes.
WARNING: The AC power ground wire must first be connected to the monitor’s ground stud. Under no circumstances should this monitor be operated without a protective ground. Doing so poses a potential shock hazard, and is also a violation of electrical safety standards applicable to this type of equipment.
IMPORTANT: Drilling holes in the MZ enclosure may damage the unit and will void the warranty. Please use the knockouts provided for electrical connections.
A switch or circuit breaker rated 1.0 A, 250 VAC must be attached to the monitor’s AC power leads. This switch must also be located in close proximity to the monitor, and be in easy reach of the operator. This switch should also be clearly marked as the monitor’s main AC disconnect device. The circuit breaker or switch must disconnect all current-carrying conductors (i.e., live and neutral).

2.5. Connecting Communications Devices
2.5.1. Remote Display Module (RD) Connection
The MZ is connected to the optional RD using a shielded twisted pair instrument cable. The maximum distance between the farthest MZ and RD is 4500 feet.
Use any of the remaining service knockouts to gain access to the interior of the monitor. The RS-485 communications wiring between the MZ and RD must be connected in the following manner:
1. Locate the RS-485 connector in the MZ (see Figure 2-4 on page 13).
2. Connect one lead of a twisted shielded pair to the “B” connection point. Note the wire color.
3. Connect the second wire to the “A” connection point. Note the wire color.
4. Connect the ground to the “GND” connection point.
5. Locate the RS-485 connector marked “TO MONITORS” in the RD (see this topic in the RD manual). This connector is located on the bottom of the RD PC board, second from the right.
6. Run the wire to the RD and connect the twisted shielded pair to the RS-485 TO MONITORS connector using the same color code as used on the MZ.
2.5.2. Integrating with Building Management Systems
The MZ may be connected directly to a Building Management System using a shielded twisted pair cable. The cable from the Building Management System is connected to the RS-485 connector inside the MZ monitor. MODBUS RTU is the standard communications protocol.
Use any of the remaining service knockouts to gain access to the interior of the monitor. Locate the RS-485 connector and remove it from the circuit board. Secure the wire leads to the connector orienting them as shown in the diagram below. Check to make sure that the polarity matches the wiring to the Building Management System. When you are through securing the connections, carefully plug the connector back onto the circuit board.
2.5.3. Larger Integrated Systems
You may also connect the MZ monitor to a Building Management System through a Remote Display. In this case, first connect the MZ to the RD as described above. Then, follow the instructions in the Communications Connections section of the RD manual for information on how to connect the RD to a Building Management System.
Figure 2-6. RS-485 Connector
Multi-Zone Gas Monitors
16 P/N: 3015-5074 Rev 16
2.5.4. Changing Terminator Switch Settings
The terminator switch is shipped from the factory in the “OUT” position (no termination). This is the correct setting if the MZ is to be installed in the middle of a network. If the MZ monitor is connected as a single device or if it is the last device on the network chain, the terminator must be moved to the “IN” position.
Locate switch #4 and determine its position. If it must be moved, slide the switch to the appropriate position. (Note that switches 1-3 are for service use.)
Figure 2-7. Termination Switches
2.5.5. Personal Computer
The MZ may be connected to a personal computer using the RS-232 interface on the left side of the enclosure. Software will be provided upon request or as a download from the Bacharach website at
https://www.mybacharach.com/product-support/manuals-downloads/.
NOTE: Refer to the “PC Software” section (section 2.8 on page 18) for details.
Multi-Zone Gas Monitors
P/N: 3015-5074 Rev 16 17
2.6. Terminating Multiple Monitors
Figure 2-8. Termination Settings for a Network of Multiple Monitors and a Remote Display
NOTE: For multiple MZs with Remote Display, the last MZ or RD on either end of the
network must have its terminator in the “IN” position, and all other units must have their terminators in the “OUT” position.
NOTE: For multiple MZs with Remote Display, the total length of the RS-485 cable cannot exceed 4500 feet (1372 m). (Use instrument cable 20 gauge multi-strand shielded and twisted pair – similar or equal to Belden cable #8762.)
2.7. Connecting to a Building Management System
The MZ monitor may be connected to a Building Management System via the RS-485 connector. The node address on each MZ monitor may be set from 1 to 15 in order to identify itself to the Building Management System.
NOTE: Building Management Systems set to a 0 or 1 address both respond to messages from the RD as address 1, therefore you should not have a unit set to 0 and another set to 1 on the same network.
If the MZ network is connected directly to a Building Management System it may not be connected to the RD. However, the RD has two communications ports, an “upstream” port (labeled BMS) and a “downstream” port (labeled TO MONITORS). A BMS node may be connected to the upstream RD port while the downstream RD port talks to the MZ monitors. In this case, the BMS is talking “through” the RD to the MZ monitors, but not physically on the MZ/RD network.
Multi-Zone Gas Monitors

2.8. PC Software
2.8.1. Operation
NOTE: The MZ is compatible with HGM300 PC software version 1.52 and higher.
However, calibration data can only be edited on the front panel of the MZ, not through the PC software or RDM units.
Multi-Zone Gas Monitors
P/N: 3015-5074 Rev 16 19
NOTE: The PC software is not compatible with 64-bit (or newer) computers.
NOTE: The PC software uses COM1 by default. Therefore, the interface cable should be
connected to the port configured as COM1 on the PC. Also, no other software drivers or devices in the computer may control COM1 when the MZ software is in use. Alternatively, COM2 (for example) may be used by adding a space and the number 2 to the command line as follows: C:\pc2HGM.exe 2
When using a USB to serial converter, be sure it has been mapped to COM1 or COM2. The connection is made through a standard “straight through” serial port connection. A
three-wire connection is used (RXD, TXD, and GND). No hardware flow control is used. The MZ software automatically configures COM1 to match the MZ RS-232 communications parameters.
NOTE: Occasionally, the laptop connection will not connect properly and only two beeps are heard and the program times out. To resolve this, disconnect the RS-232 cable and cycle power on the MZ and the laptop. After both are operational, connect the RS-232 cable and start the software program.
1. Apply power to MZ monitor and allow it to warm up. Note that on CO2 models, a “Clearing Purge Line” message is displayed for approximately 2.5 minutes before warm up begins.
2. Connect RS-232 interface cable to the PC and RS-232 port on the MZ monitor.
3. Insert software disk into the PC.
4. Open the MZ software using Windows Explorer.
5. Upon start up, the program will immediately attempt to download data from the MZ, as indicated by several beeps.

IMPORTANT: When a modified parameter (zone, system, or calibration) is sent to the MZ monitor, please wait for the computer software to indicate that the download is complete before continuing with any further edits.
2.8.2. Saving and Sending Programs
When saving to your computer, the program will automatically add “.cfg” to the filename you have entered.
To send a saved program to the MZ, open the program and connect the PC to the MZ. From the monitor, select SEND SETUP and press Enter. The saved program will be sent to the MZ.
2.8.3. Trend Data
NOTE: Creating a trend data file must be done while connected to the MZ.
From the computer, select GET TREND DATA. Select the zone that you want to trend and press Enter. The trend data will appear in a list format. Press Enter again to access the file name screen. Type the file name in for that particular zone. Press Enter. The file will be saved as a text file that can be converted to an Excel file or printed as is.
NOTE: The TREND file must be saved zone by zone, with a filename per zone.
2.8.4. Converting the TREND Text File to a Microsoft Excel File
Open Excel and the desired file. Select “Delimited” format and Space” as the delimiter. Select General” as the column data format. The text file will display as an Excel file. When saving, change the file name extension to “.xls. Comments or notes may be added to this file as needed and saved.
2.8.5. Saving and Printing Screens and Logs
Open the software while connected to the MZ. After the software receives the program, open the desired screen (e.g., software screen, alarm log, fault log, diagnostic screen, etc.). Use the Alt and Print Screen key combination on the PC keyboard to capture the image and paste it into a Word document. Save and print. This is the last thing that needs to be done.
2.8.6. USB Type Laptops
Some laptops have USB ports and no RS-232 9-pin ports. A USB-to-serial converter or PCMCIA-to-serial converter will be required if a PCMCIA slot is available. You will be required to purchase a PCMCIA card that provides an RS-232 output. This is necessary for Windows Vista and higher versions. We recommend the PCMCIA card manufactured by:
SEALEVEL SYSTEMS, INC. 155 TECHNOLOGY PLACE P. O. BOX 830 LIBERTY, SC 29657 PHONE – 864-843-4343
www.sealevel.com
Reference part numbers 2105R USB-to-RS232 or PC-SIO-232 PCMCIA card. A “straight through” RS­232 cable and a DB25-to-DB9 adapter will be required to connect the laptop to the HGM-MZ.

2.9. Optional Current Loop Interfaces
NOTE: The two-output, current loop interface is an option that MUST be ordered separately.
2.9.1. Optional 4–20 mA DC Outputs
Upon installation of the optional 4–20 mA DC Interface Board (P/N 3015-5152), the MZ has the capability of providing dual 4-20 mA DC scrolling current loop outputs for connection to external monitoring devices (e.g., a local loop-powered display or a building management system [BMS]).
IMPORTANT: Loop outputs are powered internally. Do not use an external power supply as this can damage the loop card.
NOTE: Optional remote loop-powered displays are available to view the 4-20 mA outputs.
The interfaces are set up as follows:
Loop 1 indicates zone area
Loop 2 indicates PPM.
The 4-20 mA outputs are scaled to correspond to individual zone numbers and PPM concentrations. Scaling for the 16 (maximum) zone numbers is fixed (see table below). The default scaling for the PPM concentrations provides a 0-1000 PPM range for the 4-20 mA output, although it can be adjusted through the LOOP2 FACTOR option in the SYSTEM SETUP screen. Refer to the tables below.

2.9.2. 4-20 mA DC Connections
External devices are connected to the MZ monitor using a shielded dual twisted pair cable. Use any of the remaining service knockouts to gain access to the interior of the monitor. Locate the dual 4–20 mA DC output connector (see below) and remove it from the circuit board. Secure the wire leads to the connector orienting them as shown in the diagram below. Check to make sure the polarity matches the wiring at the external device. When you are through securing the connections, carefully plug the connector back onto the circuit board.
NOTE: The ground connections of the 4-20 mA DC output connector are common.
NOTE: The 4-20 mA DC output connector are SIGNAL OUT ONLY. DO NOT APPLY POWER.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that a current loop isolator is used when connecting to
the 4-20 outputs. Bacharach recommends the “Dataforth DSCL 21 Loop powered isolator DIN mount.” More detailed information can be found at www.dataforth.com.
NOTE: When one or both current loop outputs are not used, install a jumper wire between the ground and the unused loop terminal(s) to prevent the system from generating a current loop fault.
Figure 2-11. Optional Dual 4-20 mA DC Output Board for the Multi-Zone
CAUTION: The loop outputs have isolated grounds. Therefore the cable shield should be
terminated at the receiver and not the MZ monitor. The signal for both current loops must be returned to the MZ monitor.

2.10. Connecting External Alarms
2.10.1. Overview
The MZ monitor includes four SPDT relays whose contacts are rated 2 A at 250 VAC (inductive) and 5 A at 250 VAC (resistive). These relays are used for the connection of external alarm devices that are activated when the relay is energized. The relays are factory assigned to energize under the following conditions:
Relay #1 Leak Alarm Point 100 ppm Relay #2 Spill Alarm Point 300 ppm Relay #3 Evacuate Alarm Point 500 ppm Relay #4 Fault System Fault Event
2.10.2. Connection
Use the conduit or any of the remaining service knockouts to gain cable access to the interior of the monitor. Locate the relay connector (see Figure 2-14 on page 13) and remove it from the circuit board. Secure the leads to the connector orienting them as shown in the diagram below. When you are through securing the connections, carefully plug the connector back onto the circuit board.
Figure 2-13. MZ Monitor Relay Connector
Each relay may be connected as normally open (NO), or normally closed (NC). The relay contacts are rated 2 A at 250 VAC (inductive) and 5 A at 250 VAC (resistive).
Power for the alarm devices connected to the relay contacts may be supplied by an external 24 VDC power source or the monitor’s AC input terminals. In the first wiring diagram, power to this device is being tapped off the monitor’s AC input. In the second wiring diagram, power is supplied from an external power source.

1. Press the ENTER key to adjust the setting.
2. Use the UP/DOWN cursor keys to modify the setting.
3. Press ENTER to accept the new entry or ESC to revert to the previous setting.
3.4.7. Loop Mode
This sets the loop mode of the two optional 4-20 mA outputs. Options are:
track zones mode (default)
highest PPM concentration mode.
NOTE: Both LOOP MODE (for selecting track zones or highest PPM mode) as well as the LOOP2 FACTOR (for scaling the PPM output) are configured from the SETUP menu. Configure one, then press ENTER to access the other.
In track zones mode the MZ adjusts the ZONE and PPM outputs to correspond to the latest sampled zone number and its corresponding PPM concentration, respectively. For example, if the MZ samples zone #9 at 63 PPM, the ZONE and PPM outputs would read 13 mA (corresponds to zone #9) and 5 mA (corresponds to 63 PPM), respectively, until the next zone is sampled. This continues in a cyclic fashion through each zone. Note that this example assumes LOOP2 Factor was left at its default value (0.016). This can be adjusted through the LOOP2 FACTOR option in the SYSTEM SETUP screen.
In highest concentration (PPM) mode the MZ adjusts the two current outputs to correspond to the zone number that has the highest PPM concentration and the corresponding value of that concentration, respectively. Unlike track zones mode, this mode will adjust the two outputs to correspond to whichever zone has the highest PPM concentration. For example, if zone #9 is sampled at 125 PPM, the two 4-20 mA outputs will read 13 mA and 6 mA, respectively, as long as it continues to sample at 125 PPM or until a different zone samples a concentration greater than 125 PPM.
3.4.8. Loop2 Factor
This sets the PPM scale factor for current loop number 2. After setting the loop mode, the menu box changes to a lower-level menu that allows you to set the Loop2 Factor. To calculate the current output, multiply the scale factor by the PPM and add 4. For example, at the default scale factor of 0.016, a measurement of 100 ppm would generate a current output of 5.6 mA DC. The current output cannot exceed the 20 mA DC capacity of the interface.
1. Press the ENTER key to adjust the setting.
2. Use the LEFT/RIGHT cursor keys to move across the entry field and the UP/DOWN cursor keys to modify the individual characters.
3. Press ENTER to accept the new entry or ESC to revert to the previous setting.

This option indicates the electrical parameters of the infrared emitter.
3.7. Establishing the CO2 Sensor Baseline
At power up, an automatic zeroing sequence establishes the CO2 sensor baseline. At that time, the MZ assumes the default ambient CO2 level of 386 ppm. However, if:
the purge line wasn’t connected to the instrument, or
the purge line was not terminated in fresh air,
then the sensor baseline may be compromised. If you suspect that the baseline was compromised, then you can re-establish the proper CO2 sensor baseline by ensuring the purge line is properly installed and following the procedure below.
1. Restart the monitor by either (a) cycling the power, or (b) pressing the CPU reset switch on the main printed circuit board (see Figure 3-6).
Figure 3-6. Location of CPU Reset Button
CPU Reset Switch
Multi-Zone Gas Monitors
P/N: 3015-5074 Rev 16 31
WARNING: If using the CPU reset switch to restart the instrument, extreme care should be exercised when accessing the interior of the monitor. This includes touching a non-painted area of the MZ chassis to provide proper grounding prior to touching the CPU reset switch or any other internal components. Failure to touch a grounding area can allow static electricity on your clothing or body to damage the monitor. Such damage is not covered under warranty.
2. After the restart and the warm-up have completed, the instrument is ready for use.
SECTION 4. GENERAL OPERATION
4.1. Functional Overview
Normally each MZ monitor will sequentially perform measurements on its active zones without user input. The total time it takes a MZ monitor to complete a measurement cycle is directly proportional to the number of active zones and the physical length of the air lines. Monitors linked together on a network operate independently of each other and consequently complete their respective measurement cycles at different rates.
The Remote Display operates by polling the network approximately once every 12 seconds to determine the current status of the MZ monitors. If more than one MZ is connected to the network, it will sequentially poll each monitor for its status. As a practical matter this simply means that the more complicated the network, the longer it will take the RD to update the status information for all zones.
4.2. The Zone Setup Screen
From System Setup Screen #2, scroll down to select the ZONES option.
Figure 4-1. Zone Setup Screen #1

2. Use the LEFT/RIGHT cursor keys to move across the entry field and the UP/DOWN cursor keys to modify the individual characters.
3. Press ENTER to accept the new entry or ESC to revert to the previous setting.
4.2.5. Current Detection Reading
This reading displays the current PPM level of the selected gas.
4.2.6. Log Interval
The MZ retains a data log of 100 measurements for each zone. The log interval is the number of minutes from 1 to 1440 between each log point. This parameter can be changed from Zone Setup Screen #1.
The default setting for this parameter is 10 minutes. If the log interval time is set to 0, then a measurement is recorded in the trend log after every measurement cycle. Therefore, after the trend log is filled, it will contain the last 100 measurement points for a zone. If you want the data logged less frequently, increase this value. It is important to remember that cycle time is dependent on many factors, including the number of zones monitored, input line length, and the run zeroing mode selected. Before changing this value it may be useful to first review the log data using the Trend Screen to determine the nominal cycle time.

4.3.4. Re-Setting the Peak PPM Value
Pressing this key resets the current peak PPM level stored in memory and displays it at the top of the screen.
4.4. Alarms
4.4.1. Functional Overview
If the PPM level for any zone exceeds its designated spill, leak, or evacuate thresholds, an alarm condition will be created. Once the MZ monitor completes a measurement cycle in the affected zone the alarm condition will be indicated. At that time the red ALARM LED on the MZ monitor will glow. Additionally, an external alarm device may activate and an audible alarm may sound if those features have been enabled.
The next time the RD polls the affected monitor its red ALARM LED will glow. Additionally, an external alarm device may activate and an audible alarm may sound if those features have been enabled.
4.4.2. Responding to Alarms
An operator can respond to the alarms by accessing the Alarm Summary Screen. Navigate to this screen by selecting ALARM on the first (Data Display) screen.
Figure 0-3. Alarm Summary Screen
The Alarm Summary Screen displays a list of all alarm conditions pending across the network. The screen is divided into 8 boxes, and each box represents a single alarm. If more than 8 alarms are pending, the MORE option will be displayed at the bottom of the screen to permit access to that additional information.
Each box displays the zone number, zone name, and the current PPM reading. A flashing box indicates an alarm that has not been acknowledged. A static box represents an alarm that has been acknowledged, but has not yet been cleared from the system.
4.4.3. Alarm Detail Screen
To further investigate an alarm, press the ENTER key to go to the Alarm Detail Screen.

the zone setup parameters and access to the Trend Screen.
Use the ESC button on the front case to go back to the previous menu.
4.4.4. Acknowledging Alarms
Each pending alarm may require, depending upon selected alarm mode, acknowledgment before the system returns to normal operation (refer to Alarm Ack Mode on page 26). To acknowledge an alarm, navigate to the Alarm Detail Screen and select the ACK option as previously described. You will then be returned to the Alarm Summary Screen and the box associated with that alarm will no longer be blinking, indicating that the alarm has been acknowledged. Repeat this procedure to acknowledge any remaining alarms.
Figure 4-5. Alarm Summary Screen (Acknowledge Mode)
Multi-Zone Gas Monitors
36 P/N: 3015-5074 Rev 16
Once all the alarms associated with a given MZ monitor are acknowledged, its RED LED will turn off and any external alarms connected to the MZ relays will de-activate. All pending alarms across the entire network must be acknowledged before the Remote Display returns to normal operation. Once that occurs, its RED LED will turn off and any associated external alarms connected to the RD relays will de-activate.
Keep in mind that the system will continue to generate new alarms if PPM values above the alarm thresholds are detected.
4.4.5. Silencing an Alarm
When alarms are active, the ESC key functions as a silence key. During an active alarm and with the main screen displayed, press the ESC key. This will generate a prompt to “PRESS ENTER TO CONFIRM SILENCE”. When ENTER is pressed, the LEAK relay will open and the internal audible alarm (if enabled) will turn off. In this way, when the LEAK relay is used to operate strobes and horns, they can be quickly silenced without effecting the SPILL or EVAC, which may be controlling fans or ventilation equipment. This “silence mode will be indicated by a reverse flashing S in the alarm window. “Silence mode” will be automatically canceled if the alarm condition of any zone changes by clearing or elevating to a higher level.
4.4.6. Clearing the Alarm Event Log
A data log of the last 20 alarm events is retained in memory.
From the Data Display Screen, press the UP or DOWN arrow key. SETUP will be highlighted in the first box.
Press the DOWN arrow key until Alarm Event Log is highlighted, then press ENTER to select this option and display the Alarm Event Log (see below).

4.5. System Faults
4.5.1. Functional Overview
If a system malfunction occurs, the yellow FAULT LED will glow. Additionally, an external alarm device may activate and an audible alarm may sound if those features have been enabled (see Connecting External Alarms on page 23 and Audible Alarm on page 26).
The next time the Remote Display polls the affected monitor its yellow FAULT LED will also glow. Additionally, an external alarm device may activate and an audible alarm may sound if those features have been enabled (see Connecting External Alarms on page 23 and Audible Alarm on page 26).
Depending on the nature of the fault, the MZ monitor may or may not continue to operate normally. Under a non-critical fault condition, the MZ will continue to measure and log data, but some peripheral functions may be compromised. Under a critical fault condition, action is required for the MZ monitor to operate normally. The table on the following page lists the various fault conditions and explains what action should be taken to correct the problem. Note that the fault codes are cumulative. For example, a code <4200> is both a <4000> “REZERO VOLT TOL” and <0200> “GAIN SET FAULT” combined, indicating two simultaneous faults.
4.5.2. Navigating to the Fault Screen
Displayed on the initial Data Display Screen is a Fault option. Scroll down with the cursor key and select this option, which will introduce you to the Fault Screen.

4.5.5. Reset to Factory Default Settings
IMPORTANT: Performing this function wipes out all program parameters, alarms, faults,
trends and log files.
1. Press and hold down the UP and DOWN arrow keys on the MZ monitor (page 13).
2. Cycle AC power OFF then ON.
3. Hold the keys until the second beep is heard.
4. The screen will indicate This unit has been reset to factory default conditions.
5. Release the keys.
6. Reprogram the MZ as described in this manual.
4.5.6. Clearing System Faults
If the fault condition is associated with an MZ, the monitor will return to normal operation soon after the problem is corrected. At that time the YELLOW LED will turn off and any external alarms connected to the monitor’s alarm relays will also turn off. The RD will return to normal operation the next time it polls the affected MZ monitor.
Once the system malfunction has been corrected it may take some time for the fault condition to clear completely. If the fault is associated with a specific zone, the MZ must first cycle back to the affected zone before it returns to normal operation. At that time the YELLOW LED will turn off and any external alarms connected to the monitor’s alarm relays will also turn off. The RD will return to normal operation the next time it polls the affected monitor.
4.5.7. Viewing Fault Log
A data log of the last 20 fault conditions is retained in memory. On the Fault Screen, select the LOG option to view a display of the fault log.

4.6. The Trend Screen
4.6.1. Navigating to the Trend Screen
From the Zone Screen, select the Trend option on the bottom left side. This will open the Trend screen. The trend graph opens with the cursor located over the most recent data point. Use the LEFT/RIGHT cursor
keys to move the cursor to different data points. Holding a key down will cause the cursor to move rapidly across the screen. As you move the cursor position, the date and time of that reading, along with the PPM value, are displayed at the top of the screen above the graph. The trend graph is automatically scaled to accommodate the largest PPM value displayed. The ZOOM OUT and ZOOM IN options allow you to adjust the vertical scale of the graph.
The trend data is stored on a first-in, first-out basis. After 100 trend values have been stored the 101st value will replace the first value stored. Therefore, in normal operation, when entering trend mode the cursor will be located at the most recent data point. The data points to the left of the initial cursor location will be the next most recent. The data point to the right will be the oldest data point in the buffer and will be over written by the next data point.

4.7. The Calibration Screen
4.7.1. Overview
The Calibration Screen is used to adjust the calibration factor for each gas. It is also used to program the instrument (Halogen only) for new gases.
IMPORTANT: Changing information on CAL FACTOR will void the factory calibration. Typically, the unit will remain within the factory-calibrated accuracy indefinitely and no calibration is required. Complex software algorithms adjust for temperature drift, IR source aging, and pressure changes in order to keep the unit within factory accuracy specifications.
4.7.2. Navigating to the Calibration Screen
On the System Setup screen, select the Calibration option (CAL).
Figure 0-11. Calibration Screen (HGM and AGM Only)
Multi-Zone Gas Monitors
42 P/N: 3015-5074 Rev 16
4.7.3. Calibration Procedure (HGM and AGM Only)
The CAL FACTOR is determined by sampling a known dilution of the type of gas to be sampled. Calibration is best performed at or near full scale. It can, however, be done at any concentration, and ideally in the range where maximum accuracy is desired down to, but not below, 100 PPM.
A cylinder of the desired gas at a certified PPM level must be used to assure sampling occurs at ambient conditions. A minimum sample size of 5 liters is required.
The MZ monitor should be operating for at least one hour prior to performing a calibration. Prepare the MZ for sampling by initially setting its CAL FACTOR to 1.000. Next, set up the MZ for a logging
interval of zero minutes, and place the MZ monitor in its zone hold mode for the zone you wish to use for calibration purposes.
Connect the sample bag directly to the intake port for the zone you have set up and allow the MZ monitor to sample the entire bag. When sampling is complete, view the trend data for the zone used to sample. Read the measured PPM by placing the cursor on the spikes cause by the sample. If the bag was large enough for multiple samples, average the most stable ones.
The new CAL factor is computed by dividing the known gas value by the measured value. Typically this value will be between 0.95 and 1.05. This value is stored in non-volatile memory.
4.7.4. Adjusting Calibration Factor (HGM and AGM Only)
The factory default cal factor for standard units is 1.000. This value may be different if the high accuracy option is ordered.
Proceed as follows to adjust the current calibration factor:
1. Use the PREV GAS or NEXT GAS options to scroll through the list of gases until the gas you wish to work with is displayed.
2. Select the CAL FACTOR option to edit the value.
3. Use the LEFT/RIGHT cursor keys to move across the entry field and the UP/DOWN cursor keys to modify the individual numbers.
4. Press ENTER to accept the new entry or ESC to revert to the previous setting.
NOTE: The CO2 calibration is a more complex, 2-point calibration. CO2 units are factory calibrated and not intended to be calibrated in the field. Refer to screens in section 4.7.5 for CO2 calibration screen details.
Multi-Zone Gas Monitors
P/N: 3015-5074 Rev 16 43
4.7.5. CO2 Atmospheric Concentration
Because CO2 is present in ambient air, a relative reading is used to determine the amount of CO2 coming from a leak. The CAL screen offers the ability to manually enter the ambient CO2 concentration. This value is typically in the range of 380-400 ppm, however concentrations may vary slightly based on geographic locations or other factors (the factory default setting is 386 ppm).
IMPORTANT: The ambient CO2 level is set at the factory to 386 ppm and will likely not need to be changed. If, however, the ambient CO2 concentration at your location is known to be a value other than this default value, then the instrument’s ambient CO2 setting may need to be changed.
If needed, adjust the ambient CO2 concentration as follows:
1. From the SYSTEM SETUP menu, navigate to the CAL screen.
2. Ensure the GAS TYPE setting is selected (see Figure 4-12) and press ENTER.
3. CO2 calibration curve options are displayed. Simply press ENTER to access the ambient CO2 concentration setting (PPM IN PURGE). See Figure 4-12.
4. Use the UP/DOWN cursor keys to modify the numbers to set to the appropriate value.
5. Press ENTER to accept the new entry or ESC to revert to the previous setting.
Figure 0-12. Accessing the CO2 Atmospheric Concentration Setting (PPM IN PURGE)
IMPORTANT: Do not alter any other parameters within the Calibration Menu as this will
alter the factory calibration.

4.7.6. Programming New Gases (HGM Only)
As new gases come into use the MZ monitor allows the addition of these new gases to its on-board gas library. At the end of the gas library list is an option labeled CUSTOM for adding new gases. From the Calibration Screen use the LEFT/RIGHT arrows to select CUSTOM from the list of gases. Next, press ENTER, and use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enter the calibration factor. The selection of the matching gas and CAL factor is performed by Bacharach by analyzing the new gas. Once the matching gas is determined, field calibration is possible by using the same procedure as for other gases. When the new gas entry is complete simply setup the appropriate zone for CUSTOM.
Program the instrument for a new gas as follows:
1. From the Calibration Screen, use the PREV GAS or NEXT GAS options to scroll through the list of available choices until the CUSTOM option is displayed.
Figure 0-13. Custom Gas Screen (HGM Only)
2. Select the CUSTOM option. Press ENTER to accept the new entry or ESC to revert to the previous setting.
3. Enter the new CAL Factor as received from Bacharach.
4.8. Zone Hold Mode
A zone can be placed on hold and continuously monitored for a length of time determined by the Zone Hold Time value. To place a zone on hold, select the zone at the main run screen, then press and hold down the ENTER key until the unit beeps. The word “HOLDING” will appear in the status box.
While in the hold mode, further investigation of the zone’s status can be made by navigating to that Zone’s Setup Screen #1. To release the zone from the hold mode, press and hold down the ENTER key until the unit beeps and the screen display returns to normal.

APPENDIX B. RS-485 COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL B.1. Overview
The following instructions are intended as a guide for integrating the MZ network into a Building Management System. If you are unfamiliar with complex systems of this type, it is recommended that you contact Bacharach for technical assistance.
B.2. MODBUS RTU Protocol
The MZ monitor communicates with master devices (such as the Remote Display or a Building Management System) over the RS-485 serial interface. Because the monitor is configured with a two wire RS-485 serial bus, data transmission occurs in “half-duplex” mode. Therefore, only one device may be in transmit mode at any given time.
This document specifies the MODBUS communications protocol as implemented on the applicable instruments. Programmers should refer to the MODBUS Protocol Reference Guide for details and more comprehensive instructions. The guide is available at www.modbus.org. Specific communications software is available at: https://www.mybacharach.com/product-support/manuals-downloads/.
B.3. MZ MODBUS RTU Operation B.3.1. Overview
The MZ and RD are equipped to communicate with other equipment using the MODBUS RTU protocol. Using this communications channel a MODBUS master device may communicate with up to 15 MZ monitors on a communications network, exchanging measurement information, alarm data, fault data, history (logs and trends) and setup information. Additionally, the MODBUS master can control the operating state of an MZ monitor, placing the MZ in any of its different operating modes. The network may be configured so that the MZ monitors are connected directly to the MODBUS master device, or the MODBUS master device may communicate with the MZs through the RD.
NOTE: This document was written with the assumption that the reader is familiar with the various setup parameters and operational modes for the Multi-Zone.
B.3.2. Protocol Details
A 2-wire RS-485 bus is used for transmission, therefore communications occurs in a Half-Duplex mode. The MZ is a slave device and will respond to queries in the MODBUS RTU format from a master device.
Three MODBUS functions are supported. They are function 03 (read holding register), function 06 (write single register), and function 16 (Preset Multiple registers – for block mode only). Please refer to the MODBUS Protocol Reference Guide (available at www.modicon.com/techpubs/techPubNew/PI_MBUS_300.pdf) for protocol detail and use instructions.
In addition to the standard register groups found in the 2000 and 3000 address ranges, a block mode access is provided for OEMs who need efficient access to the complete range of system variables using the least amount of queries. The block modedata is organized into structures (internal to the MZ monitor) which can be accessed by the MODBUS registers defined in this document. A corresponding set of data structures should be maintained by the master device. These master device data structures become the destination for responses to read queries and sources for preset register commands. When a read holding register query is made by the master device the MZ monitor responds by sending the contents of the structure referenced by the specified register. After the master validates the MZ response using the CRC bytes, it must then move the data into its matching data structure before individual items may be accessed or modified. Therefore, the master data structure should correspond to the MZ data structure byte for byte. Note that some data structures have been divided into multiple registers due to MODBUS RTU message length constrains. To change a setting in the MZ monitor, the master device first reads the register structure that contains the data item to be modified, makes the desired change, then sends the structure back using the preset multiple register function. If the transaction is successful, the MZ monitor sends the appropriate MODBUS response. It is the responsibility of the master device, when making modifications, to insure that all parameters transferred are within the working limits of the MZ.

IMPORTANT: Each time parameters are modified and sent back to the monitor using function 16 (preset multiple registers), the new values are written to the monitor's non­volatile FLASH memory. Due to the finite write life of the FLASH memory device (10K-
100K write cycles), modifying and writing variables should be performed on an “as needed”
basis and not periodically. Exceeding the FLASH write life can result in memory corruption, requiring a CPU board replacement.
B.3.3. MZ Monitor Polling
After the MZ monitors are setup and operating, the master device need only poll each monitor for its status register which contains summary data of the monitors alarms, faults, and operating state. If exceptions are detected through the status register and more details are required, additional registers can be examined. Also if current PPM values are required, the PPM register provides access to current PPM values for all zones. The MZ monitor requires a minimum of 20 seconds to complete a gas concentration measurement for a single zone. Therefore, it is not necessary to poll the MZ monitor more frequently than once every 15­20 seconds, as there will not be any new data available/obtained by more frequent polling. In fact, excessive polling will slow the operation of the MZ. Under no circumstances should the MZ monitor be continuously polled at rate faster than 500 ms, as this could result in erroneous readings by the MZ monitor.
B.3.4. Network Topologies
MZ monitors may be connected directly to the MODBUS network or they may be connected to the network through a Remote Display. In either case, each MZ monitor must have a unique node ID. Up to 15 MZ monitors can be connected directly to the MODBUS network.
If MZ monitors are accessed via an RD connected to a MODBUS network, the RD “BMS enabled” parameter must be set equal to “1” via the “RDM SETUP” screen on the Remote Display. The same commands and registers are used to communicate with the MZ directly or through the RD. If the communications are through the RD, it monitors each MODBUS message to determine if the message is intended for one of the MZ monitors it is connected to. If it is, the RD passes the message through to the MZ monitors. If it is not, the message is not passed through. The RD does not make any modifications to MODBUS messages. It simply passes the query through to the MZ monitor, and passes the response back to the MODBUS master. In other words, it allows the MZ monitors to be logically connected to the MODBUS network, when physically they are connected to the local RD network.
IMPORTANT: It is very important to understand that the RD will only pass messages
through to the MZ monitor when the RD is either in the “SYSTEM” screen or the “ZONE
VIEW” screen. If the RD is in any other screen, it will return a MODBUS “busy” exception
response (exception code 06).
All RD screens, except the SYSTEM and ZONE VIEW screens, have a 10 minute timeout interval. After this, the screen will return to the SYSTEM or ZONE VIEW screen, depending on which one was last displayed. The RD may also be password protected so that a password entry is required in order to view screens other than the SYSTEM or ZONE VIEW screen.

NOTE: All data sent out from the MZ is in “little endian” byte order (least significant byte followed by most significant byte). This should be taken into account if the master that process the data is a “big endian” type. Non-data information (starting address, number of points, etc.) follows normal MODBUS protocol, which is Big Endian.
B.3.6. MODBUS Exception Responses
The following MODBUS exception responses are supported by the unit. 01 Illegal Function
02 Illegal Data Address 03 Illegal Data Value 06 Slave Device Busy (Occurs only when MZ is connected to the bus through an RD and the RD is
not in the SYSTEM or ZONE VIEW screen)

B.5.6. Alarms and Alarm Acknowledge
The Multi-Zone can be operated in two different alarm acknowledge modes, Auto and Manual (set via the alarm_ack_mode variable in the system data register). For purposes of this discussion, the term “Alarm” refers to an MZ state where the alarm light is on and the appropriate alarm relay is activated. The term “Alarm condition” refers to the external condition (i.e., refrigerant leak) that initially causes the MZ monitor to go into an alarm. If an alarm occurs it can be handled in one of 3 ways.
1. Non-Latching Mode. This mode is enabled by setting the AUTO_ACK_MODE parameter in the system register to “1”. In this mode, if an alarm condition occurs an MZ alarm will be created. If the alarm condition is subsequently removed, the MZ alarm will automatically be cleared by the MZ monitor when the zone in alarm is sampled “clear”. Note, in this mode of operation, it is possible for an alarm to occur and be cleared without user or MODBUS master intervention. If this is the case, the only evidence of the alarm would be contained in the MZ alarm log.
2. Latching Mode with Silence. This mode is enabled by setting the AUTO_ACK_MODE in the
system register to “0”. In this mode, if an alarm condition occurs, an MZ alarm will be created. In order for the alarm to be removed the MODBUS master will write a “0” to the ALARM parameter in the ZONE register. This will cause the alarm to be “silenced” in the MZ monitor (i.e., the alarm relays
will return to their normal state and the ALARM lamp will be extinguished). The next time the zone with the alarm condition is sampled, if the alarm condition still exists, the alarm will be reactivated and
the alarm parameter will be reset to “1” in the MZ. Otherwise, if the alarm condition has cleared, no
further action is required and normal operation will resume.
3. Latching Mode without Silence. This mode is enabled by setting the AUTO_ACK_MODE in the
system register to “0”. In this mode, if an alarm condition occurs, an MZ alarm will be created. The MZ MODBUS master will then write a “1” to the ALARM ACK parameter in the zone register. The alarm will continue to persists (i.e., Relays in alarm state and Alarm light on) until the offending zone is sampled and no alarm condition is detected. At that point, the ALARM ACK parameter is automatically cleared by the MZ monitor, as is the ALARM parameter.
NOTE: If the ALARM ACK parameter is set to “1” and the ALARM CONDITION is upgraded (from leak to spill, or spill to evacuate) the ALARM ACK parameter will automatically be cleared to “0” by the MZ.

The MZ monitor can be made to hold or “dwell” on a particular zone if necessary. The length of the hold time is defined by the HOLD TIME parameter in the System Data Register.
Placing the MZ Monitor into hold mode:
1. Read the MZ Status Register (0x0011h)
2. Modify the content of the status register structure to change the MODE parameter to zone hold
mode. Active zone parameter to the zone you wish to hold
3. Send this updated status register structure back to the MZ using PRESET MULTIPLE REGISTER
COMMAND to the HOLD ZONE REGISTER (0x0018h).
Releasing the Zone Hold
1. Read the MZ monitor Status Register (0x0011h)
2. Modify the content of the status register to change the MODE parameter to normal mode. Active
zone parameter to the zone which you would like to resume normal activity on
3. Send this updated status register structure back to the MZ using PRESET MULTIPLE REGISTER

B.5.17. MZ Service Mode
The MZ monitor can be placed into service mode if necessary. During service mode the unit will take no measurements, any and all alarms are silenced, and all relays are opened. The unit automatically comes out of service mode after a preset interval defined by the service_mode_TO parameter in the System Data Register.
Placing the unit into Service Mode:
1. Read the MZ Status Register (0x0011h)
2. Modify the content of the status register structure to change the MODE parameter to service
mode.
3. Send this updated status register structure back to the MZ unit using PRESET MULTIPLE
REGISTER COMMAND to the SERVICE MODE REGISTER (0x001Bh).
Releasing the unit from Service Mode:
1. Read the MZ Status Register (0x0011h)

NOTE: 16 values are returned independent of the number of actual zones installed in the unit. The master device is required to know how many zones are installed in the unit (available in the System Register) in order to properly interpret the data.
B.5.19. Zone Log Registers 0x3xyy (R, 1502B)
These registers are used to transfer the zone log data. Each zone has a circular log of 100 past data points. The period between data points is defined by the Log Interval parameter in each corresponding Zone Data Register. The data for each zone is defined by the “x” place in the above register address. For zone 1 the Register address is 0x30yyh, for zone 2 the register address is 0x31yyh, etc. The data for each zone is sent in 8 consecutive registers due to MODBUS RTU message length constrains. The addresses are defined by
the “yy” place in the above address. For zone 1, all log data can be obtained by reading 0x3000h, 0x3001h, 0x3002h, …… , 0x3007h. The first seven registers contain 200 bytes each and the last register contains
102 bytes. After all registers have been received the data should be reassembled into the full data structure.
