eciency, 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").
Eective use of this instrument requires an understanding of what constitutes reasonable alarm set
points for the types of gas being monitored. Manufacturers dene 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 inuenced 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 eective monitoring.
The HGM-400 multi-zone is a refrigerant level monitor, not a gas analyzer. You must program the
monitor to test for a specic 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.
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
diuse, 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 sucient 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.
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.

•B Outside pickup point away from refrigerant gas (fresh air for Multi-zone purge cycle).
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.

2.1.2 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 aect 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.
NOTE: the mounting location of the monitor should allow it to be easily accessible for
visual monitoring and servicing

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.
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 airow.

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 conguration 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
suciently.
NOTE: only one lter assembly, either the line-end lter or end-of-line water stop, should
be used for each line.
Please (see 1.5.5 "Suggested location of sampling points") to learn more about where to place the
ends of the sample intake lines.

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 eective results.
The intake line may be cut where the user nds 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 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

connector inside the Multi-zone 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 Multi-zone monitor to a Building Management System through a Remote
Display, in this case, rst connect the Multi-zone to the Remote display as described above, then,
follow the instructions in the Communications Connections section of the Remote display manual for
information on how to connect the Remote display to a Building Management System.
The terminator switch is shipped from the factory in the "OUT" position (no termination), this is the
correct setting if the Multi-zone is to be installed in the middle of a network, if the Multi-zone 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.

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
NOTE: the Multi-zone is compatible with HGM-400 PC software version 1.52 and higher,
however, calibration data can only be edited on the front panel of the Multi-zone, not

2.9 Optional current
loop interfaces
2.9.1 Optional 4-20 mA DC
outputs
Some laptops have USB ports and no RS-232 9-pin ports. A USB-to-serial converter or PCMCIA-toserial 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
www.sealevel.com
Reference part numbers 2105R USB-to-RS-232 or PC-SIO-232 PCMCIA card.
A "straight through" RS-232 cable and a DB25-to-DB9 adapter will be required to connect the laptop to
the HGM-MZ.
NOTE: the two-output, current loop interface is an option that MUST be ordered
separately
Upon installation of the optional 4-20mA DC Interface Board, the Multi-zone has the capability of
providing dual 4-20mA 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
DKRCC.PS.S1.A2.02 | 520H10881 | 26
User manual |HGM-400 - Multi-zone gas monitor
NOTE: optional remote loop-powered displays are available to view the 4-20mA outputs
The interfaces are set up as follows:
•Loop 1 indicates zone area.
•Loop 2 indicates PPM.
The 4-20mA outputs are scaled to correspond to individual zone numbers and PPM concentrations.
Scaling for the 16 (maximum) zone numbers is xed (see table below).
The default scaling for the PPM concentrations provides a 0 1000 PPM range for the 4-20mA output,
although it can be adjusted through the LOOP2 FACTOR option in the SYSTEM SETUP screen.
External devices are connected to the Multi-zone 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 4-20mA 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.

Optional dual 4-20 mA DC output board and connector
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

Each relay may be connected as normally open (NO), or normally closed (NC).
The relay contacts are rated 2A at 250VAC (inductive) and 5A at 250VAC (resistive).
Power for the alarm devices connected to the relay contacts may be supplied by an external 24VDC
power source or the monitor’s AC input terminals. In the rst wiring diagram, power to this device is
being tapped o the monitor’s AC input. In the second wiring diagram, power is supplied from an
external power source.
Jumper the "Live/Positive" line of an external power source (DC devices) or the monitor’s AC input
(AC devices) to the "Common" terminal on the relay connector.
Connect the "Live/Positive" end of the strobe or horn to the "NO" terminal of whichever level of alarm
is appropriate for the application.
For protection, install an in-line fuse of the appropriate size and design for the external alarm device
being used.
The other end of the strobe or horn is connected to the "Neutral/Negative" leg of the external power
source (DC devices) or monitor’s AC input (AC devices).
When the Multi-zone monitor is powered up, all front panel LEDs will illuminate and a splash screen
will appear, displaying the monitor’s rmware version level. Note that on CO2 models, a
"Clearing Purge Line" message is displayed for approximately 2.5 minutes before warm up begins.

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 congured from the SETUP menu.
Congure 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 dierent zone samples a concentration greater than 125 PPM.
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 5.6mA
DC, the current output cannot exceed the 20mA 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 eld and the UP/DOWN cursor keys to

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
2. After the restart and the warm-up have completed, the instrument is ready for use.

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

4.3 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

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 eecting 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.
A data log of the last 20 alarm events is retained in memory.
•From the data display screen, press the UP or DOWN key.
SETUP will be highlighted in the rst box.
•Press the DOWN key until alarm event log is highlighted, then press ENTER to select this option

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 2.10 "Connecting external alarms" and 3.4.4 "Audible alarm").
The next time the Remote display polls the aected 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

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 aected 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 specic zone, the Multi-zone must rst cycle back to
the aected 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 aected monitor.

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 indenitely 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
specications
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.
A cylinder of the desired gas at a certied 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 dierent 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 oers 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.
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 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.
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 Danfoss.

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 congured 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 species 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 dierent operating modes.
The network may be congured 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).
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 dened 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
specied 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
modied.
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 modied, 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
modications, to insure that all parameters transferred are within the working limits of the
Multi-zone.
IMPORTANT: each time parameters are modied 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 modications 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.
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)

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 signicant byte followed by most signicant 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 dierent 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 oending 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
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 Multi-zone

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 dened by the Log Interval parameter in each
corresponding Zone Data Register. The data for each zone is dened by the "x" place in the above
register address. For zone 1 the Register address is 0x30yyh, for zone 2 the register address is
0x 31y yh, etc .
The data for each zone is sent in 8 consecutive registers due to MODbus RTU message length
constrains. The addresses are dened by the "yy" place in the above address.
For zone 1, all log data can be obtained by reading 0x3000h, 0x3001h, 0x3002h, …… , 0x3007h.
The rst 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.
