MSC2 / MSB2
Multi-sensor-Controller/board
VERSATILE AND FLEXIBLE IN USE
Gas measuring, monitoring and warning controller based on state-of-the-art micro-technology for continuous monitoring of the ambient air to detect toxic and combustible gases, refrigerants or oxygen.
MSC2
The Multi-Sensor-Controller MSC2 is designed for the connection of max. 3 sensors in total, max. 2 of them may be different sensors of the SC2 series via local bus and/or max. 3 of them analog sensors with 4–20 mA signal. As an option, an ATEX-compliant SSAX1-2 sensor (zone 2) can be connected to the SC2 slot Local Bus_1 (X21), in which case no other sensors can be connected. The controller monitors the measured values and activates the alarm relays if the set alarm thresholds for pre-alarm and main alert are exceeded. In addition, the values are provided for direct connection to the BMS via an RS-485 interface and also as 4–20 mA output. The MSC2 system for wet areas has an input for remote connection of a digital sensor (SC2-Remote) via the local bus that transmits the temperature-compensated measurement value in digital form. The main alarm is additionally signalized by the remote optical and acoustic warning unit WAO (buzzer and the 3-colour status LED, alarmfault-operation-service). Sensor and warning unit are protected against splash water.
MSB2
The Multi-Sensor-Board MSB2 is designed for the connection of max. 3 sensors in total, max. 2 of them may be different sensors of the SC2 series via local bus and/or max. 3 of them analog sensors with 4–20 mA signal. As an option, an ATEX- compliant SSAX1-2 sensor (zone 2) can be connected to the SC2 slot Local Bus_1, in which case no other sensors can be connected. The MSB2 provides the power supply of the SC2/SSAX1-2 and makes the measured data available for digital communication and for the 4–20 mA output. Communication with the DGC-06 controller takes place via the RS-485 field bus interface with DGC-06 protocol. The alarm relays can be controlled both via the DGC-06 controller and locally via the measurement signals. The digital input for acknowledgment or test function and other options such as display or various communication protocols for direct connection to superordinate BMS ensure the adaptation to the wide range of applications in gas detection technology.
