Multi-pair cables within one common
Figure 19: Zone Valve Box Location
shield are acceptable.
2.3 Wiring
2.3.1 General Requirements
1. All alarms are to be powered from life
safety branch of emergency power system
as required by applicable standards.
2. Protect all wiring from physical damage
by raceways or conduit as required by applicable standards.
3. Wire alarm panels directly to switches or
sensors as required by applicable standards.
4. Wiring runs should be made with color
coded wire. Record color, signal, and
source of signal for each wiring lead to
aid in connection of alarm finish components.
5. Avoid installing alarm panels near radio
transmitters, electrical motors, or switch
gear.
2.3.3 Determining Number of
Conductors
The following rules along with references
to this manual’s schematics clarify wiring
requirements.
• Digital Gas Sensor Modules
Two conductor cables (must be twisted pair
type with shield) are required for each Gas
Sensor module to the Gas Input board.
Refer to NFPA Area Wiring Diagram (Section
3.2).
• Switched signal inputs
Two conductor cables (must be twisted pair
type with shield) are required for each signal
between the signal input terminals and the
source signal switch.
These signals can originate at source equipment or from pressure switches mounted on
main pressure / vacuum pipelines.
When two master alarms are required, the
same switch / relay contacts can be wired to
both alarm panels. (See CAUTION below).
Both pairs of wires should originate from
switch/relay contacts.

NOTE:
Each pair of terminals labeled on the signal
board connector is labeled “+” and “-”. Ensure
that when a source equipment dry contact is
wired to two master panels, the same side of
the dry contact is connected to the same terminal at both panels. For example, if the source

connected to the “+” terminal of the second
master panel.
2.3.7 B4X Relay Output Board
A Master or Combination alarm can contain
multiple relay output boards; up to a maximum of 4 boards with 16 relay outputs each.

Y01 through Y16.
Identify each pair of field installed relay
output signal wires inside the alarm rough-in
box. Route each pair of relay output wires as
shown in Figure 25 to the appropriate terminals on the relay board. Connect each pair of

4.0 Operation
4.1 Overview
The MEGA3 Medical Gas Alarm is a touchscreen gas pressure and system monitoring
alarm created for ease of use.
For convenience, it is shipped from the factory as a configured unit.
4.1.2 Gas Badge
Every gas monitored by the alarm will have
a gas badge which will show the following
information:
• Gas being monitored
• Location where gas is being used
• Gas pressure value
• Gas pressure status (Low, Normal, or
High)
Figure 36: Gas Badge
Figure 35: MEGA3 Alarm Main Screen
4.1.1 Main Screen
The first screen that users see on a configured
unit is the MAIN screen. The MAIN screen
is the main view for the alarm and shows
the pressure status of all of the gases (area)
or source signals (master) the alarm is
monitoring.
NOTE:
The main screen will appear dierent depending on whether the alarm panel is configured as an area, master or combination.
An area alarm main screen will show gas
badges, a master alarm main screen will
show source signals, and a combination
alarm main screen will show both gas
badges and source signals.
4.1.3 Source Signals
Every source signal monitored by the alarm
will display the following information once
configured:
• Equipment being monitored
• Location of the source equipment
• Signal being monitored
• Source signal status Red (open - in alarm)
or Green (closed - normal).
The display can show the status of up to 40
signals. The hardware installed limits how
many of the 40 signals can be used.

2. Mount the power supply using the provided nuts or self-drilling screws
3. Locate the Ground cable attached to the
power supply and connect the ring terminal end to the rough-in box using the
provided self-drilling screw.
4. Remove the 4 corner screws from the
power supply cover and remove the cover.
5. Connect the supply power Line and Neutral wires to the terminal block.
6. Connect the supply power Ground wire
to the rough-in box.
7. Replace the power supply cover and
screws.
5.3.5 Install I/O Modules
1. Position the Input/Output modules in
the rough-in box to verify the fit prior to
installation.
2. Mount each I/O module using the provided nuts or self-drilling screws.
3. Connect the grey cable(s) provided; from
the Power Supply to the white sockets on
the I/O modules in a daisy chain manner
(See Figure 122).
4. The last module in the chain needs to
have the #1 DIP switch set to “ON” (See
Figure 123). Refer to the module ID label.
5. Connect all input signal / output signal /
gas sensor wiring to their respective modules. Refer to the wiring diagram on the
Quick Setup Guide for instructions.

5.3.6 Install Trim Components
The standard retrofit alarm kit comes with
a 20” x 16” trim plate assembly which will
work for most of the typical installations (Figure 135). In some cases the trim plate is not
needed and the existing rough-in box / wall
opening can be covered by using the trim
ring alone; in that case, remove the 20” x 16”
trim plate prior to installing the trim ring to
the wall/rough-in box.
For retrofitting of larger 8-gas rough-in panels
(up to 24” wide), an optional trim plate kit
is required (4107220615) to cover the larger
wall opening (Figure 136). If this is required,
remove the 20” x 16” trim plate from the trim
ring and install the 27” x 16” trim plate prior
to installing the trim assembly to the wall/
rough-in box. *Note the orientation of the
square notches on the trim ring and plate.
1. Position the trim plate over the roughin box and determine the best mounting method for your case. Use a level to
check that the trim plate is plumb.
2. Mark the mounting locations on the drywall using the trim plate as your guide.
3. Install the drywall anchors provided as
needed.
4. Reposition the trim plate and install the
screws provided into the anchors and/or
directly into the rough-in box.
Figure 136: Optional Retrofit Area Trim Panel
5.3.7 Install Front Panel
1. Mount the Front Panel assembly to the
trim ring using the countersink sheet
metal screws provided on the trim ring.
2. Connect the lanyard to the threaded
extension on the right side of the trim ring
(Figure 137).
3. Connect the grey cable from the Front
Panel to the white socket on the Power
Supply board.
4. Connect the Ground cable on the Front
panel to the rough-in box using the provided self-drilling screw.
5. Turn on the supply power to the alarm
and wait for the alarm to boot up.
6. Setup the new alarm by referring to the
Quick Setup guide.

the touchscreen. Make sure not to apply too
much pressure on the screen when cleaning
it. Never use paper towels or tissue paper
which contain wood fibers that will scratch
any plastic surface.

Periodic Maintenance:
Inspect the alarm periodically and perform
a self test (see Section 4.1.6 - Information
Screen). This ensures proper operation of the
alarm. Any damaged components inside the
alarm should be replaced by a authorized
BeaconMedæs service technician.
