DGS Installation Instructions

The DGS is available with one sensor or two sensors and B&L 

(Buzzer and Light) as option (see figure 1).

For sensors that can be poisoned by e.g. silicones like all 

semiconductor and catalytic bead sensors, it is imperative to 

remove the protective cap only supplied only after all silicones are 

dry, and then energize the device.

The sensor protection cap must be removed before taking the 

DGS into operation

Mounting and Wiring

To wall mount the DGS, unscrew the lid by releasing the four 

plastic screws in each corner and remove the lid. Mount the DGS 

base to the wall by fitting screws through the holes which the lid 

screws were fastened by. Complete the mounting by re-applying 

the lid and fastening the screws.

The sensor head must always be mounted to point downwards. 

The DGS-IR sensor head is sensitive to shock – special attention 

should be paid to 

protect the sensor head from shocks 

during 

installation and operation. 

Observe the recommended location of the sensor head as stated 

on page 1.

Extra cable glands are added by following the instruction in figure 

2.

The exact position of the terminals for the sensors, alarm relays, 

digital input and analogue output is shown in the connection 

diagrams (see figure 3).

The technical requirements and regulations for wiring, electrical 

security, as well as project specific and environmental must be 

met.

Configuration

For convenient commissioning, the DGS is pre-configured and 

parameterized with factory-set defaults. See Menu Survey.

Jumpers are used to change the analogue output type and the 

Modbus baud rate. See fig. 3 

For DGS with Buzzer & Light, alarm actions are given according to 

following table:

System integration

To integrate the DGS with a Danfoss system manager or general 

BMS system set the Modbus address using the DGS Service Tool, 

using password "1234" when prompted. See the DGS User Guide 

for details on operating the DGS Service Tool. 

The Baud Rate is adjusted by jumper JP4. As default the setting is 

38.4kBaud. For integration with AK-SM 720/350 change the setting 

to 19.2kBaud. 

For more information about data communication see 

document RC8AC--

Sensor replacement 

The sensor is connected to the DGS via a plug connection 

enabling simple sensor exchange instead of an on-site calibration.

The internal X-change routine recognizes the exchanging process 

and the exchanged sensor and re-starts the measurement mode 

automatically. 

The internal X-change routine examines the sensor for actual type 

of gas and actual measuring range. If data does not match the 

existing configuration, the built in status LED indicates an error. If 

everything is OK the LED will light up green. 

As an alternative, the on-site calibration via the DGS Service Tool 

can be performed with the integrated, user friendly calibration 

routine.

See the DGS User guide for details on operating the DGS Service 

Tool.

Alarm thresholds can have the same value, therefore the relays and/or Buzzer and 

Light can be triggered simultaneously.

The alarm thresholds have a hysteresis of app. 5%

defined
