Bacharach 6702-8000 – MGS-408 Gas Detection Controller

• Integrates the MGS-250 MGS-410, MGS-450, MGS-460 and MGS-550
• LED status indication
• Event logging via SD Card
• Display screen
• Audible and visual alarms

The MGS-408 Gas Detection Controller displays comprehensive information about the status of all connected gas detectors. A maximum of 8 Bacharach gas detectors can be connected to the MGS-408 via Modbus RTU. Compatible gas detectors are:

• MGS-410
• MGS-450
• MGS-460
• MGS-250
• MGS-550

The MGS-408 can be used to provide power to each connected, compatible gas detector, negating the need for separate power supply at the location of the gas detector.

The MGS-408 displays status via an LCD screen and LEDs. For each connected gas detector, status is clearly indicated via dedicated LEDs to indicate:

• Power & connectivity
• High alarm
• Low alarm
• Fault

The LCD screen will display the current gas reading and gas type for the selected channel, or will indicate fault and/or alarm status. The LCD screen is also used for configuration of the MGS-408 via the integrated keypad.

In addition to the visual alarm status displayed, the MGS-408 includes an integrated audible alarm. An optional audio-visual alarm beacon can be installed, mounted in the top of the enclosure, to enhance local alarm indication.

The MGS-408 provides relays (indicating any high alarm, low alarm or fault status) and can act as a Modbus slave device. This allows connection to a third-party device such as a Building Management System (BMS) or Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).

Data logging is available on the MGS-408 via the integrated SD card, which can be removed to allow download of the logged data to a computer.
