Components and commands
1) LED ON. It blinks for about 2 minutes (warm up time) when the mains power is supplied. When ready, the
LED stays on without blinking.
Note: during warm up the control unit is not able to detect the presence of gas.
2) BATTERY LED. It lights up (fixed) when no mains power is present and the control unit is supplied by a 12Vdc
battery. It blinks when the battery is flat.
3)
OVER LOAD PROBES
LED. If this LED turns on, it means there is a short circuit or high current absorption
in the probes.
4)
OVER LOAD BATTERY
LED. If this Led turns on, it means the battery is not connected properly, or it has
an anomalous voltage absorption.
5) TEST BUTTON. Pressing and holding down this button, you can obtain a gas leakage simulation. In order
to perform this operation no failures or alarms should be present.
6) RESET BUTTON. This button is pressed to clear all memories, or to restore the control unit after a failure.
7) 1
st
Alarm LED. This LED will light up when the gas concentration level has reached 8% of LEL, or 120ppm
(ref. CO), and the 1
st
threshold relay contact is closed. The relay disenergizes when the 13% of LEL, or 200ppm
CO, threshold is exceeded.
8) 2
nd
Alarm LED. This LED will light up when the gas concentration level has reached 13% of LEL, or 200ppm
(ref. CO), and the 2
nd
threshold relay contact is closed. The buzzer will issue a low frequency sound. The relay
disenergizes when dropping below the 13% of LEL, or 200ppm CO, threshold.
9) MAIN ALARM LED. This LED will light up when the gas concentration level has reached 20% of LEL, or
300ppm (ref. CO), and the MAIN ALARM relay contact is closed. The buzzer will issue a high frequency sound.
10) FAULT LED. This LED blinks when one of the connected probes is faulty, if there is an interruption in the
cable connection, or if an error was made during wiring. When this LED is blinking, the device is no longer
capable of detecting. To reactivate the device, the damaged probe must be repaired or disabled using the
internal micro-switch (see chapter 6 paragraph A) and then the RESET button must be pressed.
11) DISPLAY backlight colours. The symbols are illustrated in the draw.
a) The symbol of the battery light on when the GS300-Mc is powered with an external battery.
The drawn battery indicates the state of load of the battery and when it blinks it means that the battery is low.
b) The number on the display indicates the concentration of gas detected.
The exchange of data of every connected probe is every about 4 seconds.
c) The letters ppm means when the connected probe detects Toxic gas.
The letters LEL means when the connected probe detects Explosive gas.
d) The numbers in the rectangle “1 2 3 “: are the probe connected; They lidht up in sequence and identify
the monitored zone.
e) The timing symbol lights when GS300-Mc is in warm up phase, the same time its begins the count down
