MGS-401 Configuration 

The configuration of the MGS-401 is done with (3) banks of DIP switches on the back of the MGS-401 lid.  
Through these switches the user can configure the Modbus settings, MGS-401 Entrance Monitor as well as 
many features of the perimeter strobe, on-board audible sounder as well as input and output configurations.  
Follow the directions below to configure your instrument.

BMS Modbus Configuration

 

4.1.1

 

The MGS-401 Entrance Monitor can be used as a standalone device to monitor up to (4) MGS gas sensors 
or it can be used as part of a higher-level Building Automation System.  Switch bank 1, positions 1 through 
8 (see figure 2.5, 

MGS-401 Under Lid Connections and Configuration

) are used to configure the BMS 

Modbus Server settings when use with higher level controls.  Please refer to Modbus best practice when 
making these choices

.  

It is important ALL of the following instrument settings corresponded to the BMS 

settings for proper operation. 

1.

 

Bank 1, Switch 1 is used to enable the BMS Modbus terminating resistor.  The default is ‘disabled’ 
or OFF.   

2.

 

Bank 1, Switch 2 is used to enable the parity of the Modbus network.  The default is ‘disabled’, ‘no 
parity’ or OFF. 

3.

 

Bank 1, Switch 3 is used to set the parity of the Modbus network to either ‘even’ – OFF switch 
position or ‘odd’ – ON switch position.  The default is ‘even’ parity or OFF. 

4.

 

Bank 1, Switch 4 is used to set the Stop Bit of the Modbus network to either ‘1’ or ‘2’.  The default 
is STOP BIT ‘1’ or OFF. 

5.

 

Bank 1 Switch 5 is used to set the Baud Rate of the Modbus network to either ‘9600’ or ‘19200’.  
The default Baud Rate is ‘9600’ or OFF. 

6.

 

Bank 1, Switches 6, 7 and 8 are used to assign a Modbus ID to the MGS-401 when used on a BMS
