Emerson MRLDS-250 User Manual

MRLDS-250
Quick Setup Guide
The Modular Refrigeration Leak Detection Sensor is Emerson’s state-of-the-art infrared refrigerant gas detector that can detect a wide range of gases. The MRLDS-250 can be used on a stand-alone basis or integrated into supervisory controls. The MRLDS-250 can be used in locations that require continuous monitoring and to add gas detection solutions to an existing system.
The MRLDS-250 is available in two versions:
The broadband gas detector is used as a general purpose gross leak detector and is factory tested and certified to +/- 35% accuracy.
The gas specific versions come factory certified and
calibrated with +/- 3% accuracy to the target refrigerant when there is a need for more accurate detection.
MRLDS-250 Installation
Mounting the MRLDS-250
1. To open the housing as received, use a flat blade screwdriver and depress the top latch. While pushing the latch, grasp the back edge of the housing near the latch and pull the back away.
2. Position the base to the pre-determined mounting location.
3. For Wall Mount, attach the MRLDS-250 base to the mounting surface using two #6 screws (provided) through two of the seven mounting holes (see Figure 2). For Junction Box Mount, attach the MRLDS-250 base to the junction box through the two junction box holes.

Wiring and Configuration
Either 24VAC or 24VDC may be used to power the MRLDS-250. Connect wiring to the appropriate terminal locations. Use two wires, between 14 and 22 AWG. Refer to Figure 3 for AC wiring (left) or DC wiring (right):
Figure 3 - Supply and Power Wiring Options
WARNING: The MRLDS-250 must be powered by:
A suitable UL 60950/CSA certified power supply that is isolated from line voltage by double insulation.
An appropriately rated UL listed/CA Class 2 Transformer; a 10VA Transformer is recommended.
Figure 5A - Analog Output Wiring
For multiple devices cascaded, a 50VA Class 2 Transformer is recommended.
Figure 4 - Power Wiring of a Device Network
The MRLDS-250 provides an analog output signal that is proportional to the level of gas detected. Connect two 18 to 20 AWG wires to terminal block positions 5 and 6 (see Figure 5A), noting ground and signal polarity.
Make relay connections (NO, NC, or both) using 18 to 20 AWG wires to terminal block positions 10, 11, and 12 (see Figure 5B), noting normally open, normally closed, and common connectors.

NOTE: For MODBUS network communications wiring, use only 18-24 AWG shielded twisted pair wire with 120 ohm characteristic impedance.
