1.5 Functional overview

1.5.1 General description

Gas monitors are specied to support compliance to federal, state and local safety codes governing emissions. Avoiding signicant loss reduces equipment replacement costs, maintains equipment eciency, promotes safety, and protects the environment.
The Danfoss 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.
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 tted with and optional two-channel 4-20mA current loop board for connection to remote monitoring equipment.
The Multi-zone monitor requires only minor periodic maintenance such as the occasional replacement of lters. 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

1.5.3 Understanding monitoring levels

1.5.4 Response to the presence of multiple refrigerants (HGM Only)

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. (See 7.0 "Appendix B").
Eective use of this instrument requires an understanding of what constitutes reasonable alarm set points for the types of gas being monitored. Manufacturers dene 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. Danfoss has developed recommended monitoring refrigerant gas levels based on compliance to ANSI/BSR ASHRAE 15-2007 and ASHRAE Safety Code 34-2007. (See 6.0 "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 inuenced 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 eective monitoring.
The HGM-400 multi-zone is a refrigerant level monitor, not a gas analyzer. You must program the monitor to test for a specic 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.
© Danfoss | DCS (ZA) | 2016.03
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.
DKRCC.PS.S1.A2.02 | 520H10881 | 9
User manual | HGM-400 - Multi-zone gas 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 diuse, 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.
It should also be noted that gases of interest are heavier than air and tend to collect below the point of a leak. Therefore a sample taken near the oor will have a greater concentration of gas than that collected above the source of a leak. Therefore, sampling points should be located as close as possible to the sources of potential leaks. If this is impractical, then the alarm set points should be adjusted for that zone to compensate for the dilution of the gas. Sample inlet lters should be mounted 12-18" (30.5-45.7cm) above the oor. 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.
The Multi-zone 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 (366m) for any zone. The fresh air purge line should draw from an area that does not contain any gas. 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 500ft
Ideally, two to three pick up points spaced around each chiller will provide sucient 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 Multi-zone 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 module should be mounted outside of the mechanical room, or just inside the room’s doorway if the rst option isn’t possible. This is the "split architecture design" for safety of the operator. The Remote display can be located up to 4500ft (1372m) from the Multi-zone monitor. The Remote display is the man machine interface by which you program the Multi-zone, acknowledge alarms and observe conditions inside of the mechanical room. Note that there are two additional alarm relay contacts in the Remote display that can be programmed to alarm on leak, spill, evacuate, fault, or monitor on conditions.

NOTE: the pickup points located on the oor 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.

2.1 Installation considerations

2.1.1 Warnings and cautions

WARNING: explosion hazard! Do not mount the Multi-zone monitor in an area that may
contain ammable 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 Multi-zone enclosure may damage the unit and will void the warranty. Please use the knockouts provided for electrical connections

2.1.2 Inspection

2.1.3 Location of the monitor

CAUTION: the Multi-zone monitor contains sensitive electronic components that can be
easily damaged. Do not touch nor disturb any of these components
The Multi-zone 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 Danfoss Service Center for assistance.
The Multi-zone 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 1200ft (366m) 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 aect the operation of the Multi-zone 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.

2.2 Connecting gas sample lines

2.2.1 Overview

Individual gas sample lines are run from the Multi-zone 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.
(See the illustration below).

Use ¼" (6.35mm) outside diameter (0.040" or 1.016mm wall) ex tubing for all air lines 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 rmly 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 the image below).

Using PTC connectors: connecting (left) and disconnecting (right)
The Multi-zone monitor uses push-to-connect (PTC) style connectors.
To insert sample lines, rmly push the appropriate tubing into the hole in the center of the connector until it seats in the connector. Refer to the gures 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 gures at the right.
All tubing bends should have a radius of no less than 5" (12.7cm) to ensure proper airow. If kinks or obstructions occur in any of the air lines the instrument may not function properly.

User manual | HGM-400 - Multi-zone gas monitor

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 300ft (91.44mm) 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 lter assembly can be used with the Halogen Gas Monitor to lter refrigerant from the purge line. It may be mounted adjacent to the monitor. A line-end lter should be attached to the end of the purge line when the charcoal lter is not used. Note that the charcoal lter 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 4.7.5 "CO2 Atmospheric concentration").

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 300ft (91.44mm) 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 lter. 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 Multi-zone monitor is designed to accommodate up to 16 separate sample intake lines. The standard conguration of the unit includes one manifold of 4 intake connectors and 1 purge connector.Additional manifolds can be easily installed to increase monitoring capacity (eld installation kit, and 4 zone line end lter kit).
Sample intake lines can be up to 1.200ft (366m) when no exhaust tubing is used, otherwise, the combined length of the sample line and the exhaust line cannot exceed 1.200ft (366m). 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 lter should be attached to the end of each sample intake line. Line-end lters should be placed 12" to 18" (30.5cm to 45.7cm) above the oor.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT block any of the zones. Unused zones may be disabled by setting their length parameter to zero in the zone setup screen.
Depending on type of use and location of lines, the end-of-line water stop lter assembly can be used to prohibit moisture from entering the intake lines. Three end-of-line water stop lters 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 suciently.
NOTE: only one lter assembly, either the line-end lter or end-of-line water stop, should be used for each line.

2.2.6 Installing an optional splitter kit

Splitter kits are made available which allow the Multi-zone unit to take gas sample readings from several sample points while utilizing just a single zone. These kits are designed for use ONLY in conned/dened spaces with high potential for leaks, such as food cases, cold rooms, refrigeration rack rooms, etc. Multi-zone gas monitor’s 2 way and 3-way splitter kits are available as optional accessories.

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 which is manually emptied once it has become lled. Install the water trap close to the unit for the most eective results. The intake line may be cut where the user nds appropriate (preferably close to monitor).
© Danfoss | DCS (ZA) | 2016.03
Each side of the intake line should be inserted into the receivers on either side of the water trap. Secure tightly, a replacement lter for the water trap is available and is replaced by unscrewing the clear plastic cup of the water trap, pulling the lter directly out (do not unscrew), and inserting the new lter into place. Replace the cup of the water trap, If desired, an optional mounting bracket may be used to secure the water trap in place.
NOTE: the termination lter or end-of-line water stop lter 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

2.7 Connecting to a building management system

The Multi-zone monitor may be connected to a Building Management System via the RS-485 connector. The node address on each Multi-zone 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 Remote display as address 1, therefore you should not have a unit set to 0 and another set to 1 on the same network
If the Multi-zone network is connected directly to a Building Management System it may not be connected to the RD. However, the Remote display has two communications ports, an "upstream" port (labeled BMS) and a "downstream" port (labeled TO MONITORS). A Building Management System node may be connected to the upstream Remote display port while the downstream Remote display port talks to the Multi-zone monitors, in this case, the Building Management System is talking "through" the Remote display to the Multi-zone monitors, but not physically on the Multi-zone/RD network.
NOTE: user must have two (2) dedicated ports to successfully complete the required setup

The Multi-zone monitor includes four SPDT relays whose contacts are rated 2A at 250VAC (inductive) and 5A at 250VAC (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 "Multi-zone Monitor Interior Components") 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.

3.4.6 Detection limit

3.4.7 Loop mode

This is essentially a squelch setting that instructs the instrument to interpret PPM readings below the designated level as 0 and the range is 1 to 99 PPM.
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.
This sets the loop mode of the two optional 4-20mA outputs, the 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 congured from the SETUP menu. Congure one, then press ENTER to access the other
In track zones mode the Multi-zone adjusts the ZONE and PPM outputs to correspond to the latest sampled zone number and its corresponding PPM concentration, respectively. For example, if the Multi-zone samples zone #9 at 63 PPM, the ZONE and PPM outputs would read 13mA (corresponds to zone #9) and 5mA (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 Multi-zone 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 20mA outputs will read 13mA and 6mA, respectively, as long as it continues to sample at 125 PPM or until a dierent zone samples a concentration greater than 125 PPM.

3.7 Establishing the CO2 sensor baseline

At power up, an automatic zeroing sequence establishes the CO2 sensor baseline. At that time, the Multi-zone 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 gure below).
Location of CPU reset button
CPU Reset Switch
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 Multi-zone 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

4.0 General operation

4.1 Functional overview

Normally each Multi-zone monitor will sequentially perform measurements on its active zones without user input. The total time it takes a Multi-zone 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 dierent rates.
The Remote Display operates by polling the network approximately once every 12 seconds to determine the current status of the Multi-zone monitors. If more than one Multi-zone 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 Remote display to update the status information for all zones.

4.2.6 Log interval

4.3 Navigating to the 2nd zone setup screen

The Multi-zone 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 lled, 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 rst review the log data using the Trend Screen to determine the nominal cycle time.
Select the MORE option at the bottom right side of the rst Zone Setup screen to continue to the next screen containing more options. This screen displays the peak PPM value in the upper left side of the screen.

4.4.5 Silencing an alarm

Once all the alarms associated with a given Multi-zone monitor are acknowledged, its RED LED will turn o and any external alarms connected to the Multi-zone 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 o and any associated external alarms connected to the Remote display 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.
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 eecting the SPILL or EVAC, which may be controlling fans or ventilation equipment. This "silence" mode will be indicated by a reverse ashing "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.

The next time the Remote display polls the aected 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 2.10 "Connecting external alarms" and 3.4.4 "Audible alarm").
Depending on the nature of the fault, the Multi-zone monitor may or may not continue to operate normally. Under a non-critical fault condition, the Multi-zone will continue to measure and log data, but some peripheral functions may be compromised, under a critical fault condition, action is required for the Multi-zone 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: 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

4.5.5 Clearing system faults

If the fault condition is associated with an Multi-zone, the monitor will return to normal operation soon after the problem is corrected. At that time the YELLOW LED will turn o and any external alarms connected to the monitor’s alarm relays will also turn OFF. The Remote display will return to normal operation the next time it polls the aected Multi-zone 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 specic zone, the Multi-zone must rst cycle back to the aected 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 Remote display will return to normal operation the next time it polls the aected monitor.

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 keys to move the cursor to dierent 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 rst-in, rst-out basis. After 100 trend values have been stored the 101st value will replace the rst 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 buer 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 indenitely 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 specications

4.7.2 Navigating to the calibration screen

4.7.3 Calibration procedure (HGM and AGM only)

On the system setup screen, select the calibration option (CAL).
Calibration screen (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.
© Danfoss | DCS (ZA) | 2016.03
A cylinder of the desired gas at a certied PPM level must be used to assure sampling occurs at ambient conditions, a minimum sample size of 5lt is required.
The Multi-zone monitor should be operating for at least one hour prior to performing a calibration. Prepare the Multi-zone for sampling by initially setting its CAL FACTOR to 1.000. Next, set up the Multi-zone for a logging interval of zero minutes, and place the Multi-zone 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 Multi-zone 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.
DKRCC.PS.S1.A2.02 | 520H10881 | 48
User manual | HGM-400 - Multi-zone gas monitor
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 dierent if the high accuracy option is ordered.
Proceed as follows to adjust the current calibration factor:
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.
Select the CAL FACTOR option to edit the value.
Use the LEFT/RIGHT keys to move across the entry eld and the UP/DOWN keys to modify the individual numbers.
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 eld.
(See 5.7.5 "CO2 Atmospheric Concentration")

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 oers 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:
From the SYSTEM SETUP menu, navigate to the CAL screen.
Ensure the GAS TYPE setting is selected and press ENTER.
CO2 calibration curve options are displayed. Simply press ENTER to access the ambient CO2 concentration setting (PPM IN PURGE).
Use the UP/DOWN keys to modify the numbers to set to the appropriate value.
Press ENTER to accept the new entry or ESC to revert to the previous setting.

4.7.6 Programming new gases (HGM only)

As new gases come into use the Multi-zone 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 to select CUSTOM from the list of gases. Next, press ENTER, and use the UP/DOWN keys to enter the calibration factor. The selection of the matching gas and CAL factor is performed by Danfoss by analyzing the new gas. Once the matching gas is determined, eld 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.

7.0 APPENDIX B

RS-485 communications protocol

7.1 O ve r v iew

The following instructions are intended as a guide for integrating the Multi-zone network into a Building Management System. If you are unfamiliar with complex systems of this type, it is recommended that you contact Danfoss for technical assistance.

7.2 MODbus RTU Protocol

The Multi-zone 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 congured 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 species 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.

7.3 Multi-zone MODbus RTU operation

7.3.1 Overview

7.3.2 Protocol details

The Multi-zone and Remote display 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 Multi-zone 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 Multi-zone monitor, placing the Multi-zone in any of its dierent operating modes. The network may be congured so that the Multi-zone monitors are connected directly to the MODbus master device, or the MODbus master device may communicate with the Multi-zone 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
A 2 wire RS-485 bus is used for transmission, therefore communications occurs in a Half-Duplex mode. The Multi-zone is a slave device and will respond to queries in the MODbus RTU format from a master device.
Two MODbus functions are supported. They are function 03 (read holding register) and function 16 (Preset Multiple registers).
© Danfoss | DCS (ZA) | 2016.03
Using the two MODbus functions, a master device may read, modify and write data and status information to any monitor on the network. Data is organized into structures (internal to the Multi-zone monitor) which can be accessed by the MODbus registers dened 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 Multi-zone monitor responds by sending the contents of the structure referenced by the specied register. After the master validates the Multi-zone response using the CRC bytes, it must then move the data into its matching data structure before individual items may be accessed or modied.
DKRCC.PS.S1.A2.02 | 520H10881 | 56
User manual | HGM-400 - Multi-zone gas monitor
Therefore, the master data structure should correspond to the Multi-zone data structure byte for byte.
NOTE: some data structures have been divided into multiple registers due to MODbus RTU message length constrains
To change a setting in the Multi-zone monitor, the master device rst reads the register structure that contains the data item to be modied, makes the desired change, then sends the structure back using the preset multiple register function. If the transaction is successful, the Multi-zone monitor sends the appropriate MODbus response. It is the responsibility of the master device, when making modications, to insure that all parameters transferred are within the working limits of the Multi-zone.
IMPORTANT: each time parameters are modied and sent back to the monitor using function 16 (preset multiple registers), the new values are written to the monitor's non-volatile FLASH memory. Due to the nite write life of the FLASH memory device (10 K-100 K 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

7.3.3 Multi-zone monitor polling

After the Multi-zone 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.

7.3.4 Network topologies

The Multi-zone 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 Multi-zone monitor more frequently than once every 15-20 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 Multi-zone.
Under no circumstances should the Multi-zone monitor be continuously polled at rate faster than 500 ms, as this could result in erroneous readings by the Multi-zone monitor.
Multi-zone 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 Multi-zone monitor must have a unique node ID. Up to 15 Multi-zone monitors can be connected directly to the MODbus network.
If Multi-zone monitors are accessed via an Remote display 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 Multi-zone 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 Multi-zone monitors it is connected to. If it is, the Remote display passes the message through to the Multi-zone monitors. If it is not, the message is not passed through.
The Remote display does not make any modications to MODbus messages. It simply passes the query through to the Multi-zone monitor, and passes the response back to the MODbus master. In other words, it allows the Multi-zone monitors to be logically connected to the MODbus network, when physically they are connected to the local Remote display network.
© Danfoss | DCS (ZA) | 2016.03
IMPORTANT: it is very important to understand that the Remote display will only pass messages through to the Multi-zone monitor when the Remote display is either in the "SYSTEM" screen or the "ZONE VIEW" screen. If the Remote display is in any other screen, it will return a MODbus "busy" exception response (exception code 06)
DKRCC.PS.S1.A2.02 | 520H10881 | 57
User manual | HGM-400 - Multi-zone gas monitor
All Remote display 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 Remote display 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.

7.3.6 Summary of registers

NOTE: all data sent out from the Multi-zone is in "little endian" byte order
(Least signicant byte followed by most signicant 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

The Multi-zone can be operated in two dierent 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 Multi-zone state where the alarm light is on and the appropriate alarm relay is activated. The term "Alarm condition" refers to the external condition (e.g. refrigerant leak) that initially causes the Multi-zone 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 Multi-zone alarm will be created. If the alarm condition is subsequently removed, the Multi-zone alarm will automatically be cleared by the Multi-zone 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 Multi-zone 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 Multi-zone 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 Multi-zone monitor (e.g. 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 Multi-zone. 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 Multi-zone alarm will be created. The Multi-zone MODbus master will then write a "1" to the ALARM ACK parameter in the zone register. The alarm will continue to persists (i.g., Relays in alarm state and Alarm light on) until the oending zone is sampled and no alarm condition is detected. At that point, the ALARM ACK parameter is automatically cleared by the Multi-zone monitor, as is the ALARM parameter
