Configuring the GS300Mc
The GS300Mc has three pairs of DIP switches on the PCB. The left switch on first three double switches is used to enable
or disable the sensor for that respective zone. The right switch is used to configure the controller to indicate whether the
connected sensor is for explosive or toxic gas.
The GS300Mc can be configured to provide several modes of operation. The configurable parameters are:
Left switch on any of the 1st 3 double DIP switches
The GS300Mc will not look for a sensor on a given zone if the switch is moved to the OFF position.
It is not necessary to remove the return cable from the sensor.
Example shows Zone 1 On, Zone 2 On and Zone 3 Off.
Left switch on 4th double DIP switch
Positive safety determines the condition of the main alarm relay and hence the operation of the gas
valve. When it is 'ON' the relay is in a normally open state. When it is 'OFF' the relay is in a normally
closed state. NOTE: This affects how the gas valve operates and means that you may need to
change how it is wired to the GS300Mc.
Example shows Positive Safety on
Left switch on 5th double DIP switch
Determines whether the audible alarm remains operational after levels have dropped. In memory
mode, the alarm remains and will need to be manually reset. In non memory mode, the alarm will
automatically reset after levels have dropped.
Example shows memory ON

With switch 4 in the on position the GS300Mc is configured to indicate oxygen levels. The function
is determined by setting either excess oxygen or oxygen depletion on the sensor itself (Duomo
SGF104).
Example shows oxygen monitoring ON
IMPORTANT NOTE. If Oxygen setting is selected it is not possible to connect any other types of
sensors for any other gases. For example natural Gas or CO
Right switch on any of the 1st 3 double DIP switches
Toxic or explosive levels. These are labelled as GAS or CO on PCB. The symbols on the front fascia
of the detector are EN standard symbols and refer to any explosive or toxic gas. If toxic gas, e.g.
carbon monoxide is to be sensed on a given zone move the switch to the CO position. If explosive,
e.g. natural gas, LPG, hydrogen etc. move the switch to the GAS position.
Example shows Zone 1 Explosive, Zone 2 Toxic, Zone 3 Explosive,

Main Alarm relay actuation method. This can be configured to provide either a permanent or a
temporary alarm operation. When the main alarm is actuated in an alarm condition if the switch is
in the 'C' position the relay will remain in this position the alarm threshold. If the switch is in the 'I'
position the main alarm relay will actuate for 60 seconds and then will return to the running condition.
The indication on the panel fascia and the audible alarm will still indicate main alarm. This mode of
operation is used when using manual reset gas valves and battery back-up systems for extending
standby battery life.
