System Reduces Maintenance Time by 80%
New Kensington, PA – Bacharach, Inc., a leading provider of HVAC-R gas instrumentation, announces the introduction of the MGS-400 Series Refrigerant Gas Detectors for commercial and industrial refrigerant and gas leak monitoring applications. The MGS-400 series supports safety compliance inside of machinery rooms, chiller plants, cold storage facilities and walk-in freezers by monitoring for dangerous refrigerant leaks. The ability to detect refrigerant leaks and quickly initiate alarm systems helps to protect personnel and achieve compliance with safety standards like ASHRAE 15, CSA-B52 and EN 378.
MGS-400 Series Refrigerant Gas Detectors allow users to interface with the device using a mobile app, making configuration and maintenance simple and intuitive. Reducing commissioning and installation time, the MGS-400 delivers on efficiency and cost savings while allowing for plug-and-play, pre-calibrated sensor installation and replacement in the field. Simple installation and maintenance eliminates the need for lengthy, in-field calibration procedures that require multi-meters and manual adjustment of potentiometers.
The optional MGS-408 Gas Detection Controller supports up to eight sensor channels and enables a centralized alarm and power system. With Modbus connectivity, the controller integrates with any facility’s existing building management or automation system. The MGS-408 will also connect with Bacharach’s MGS-250 Refrigerant Monitor and the dual-sensor MGS-550, allowing for flexibility of individual site requirements.
“By focusing on new solutions, such as a mobile app user interface, and plug-and-play sensor technology, what used to take 25 minutes per gas detector now takes less than 5 minutes and can be done without training.”Tom Burniston, Product Manager
“We used our engineering expertise and long history of experience in refrigerant leak detection throughout the development of the MGS-400 product series. Our customers were asking for ease of use and easy installation and maintenance as an improvement to their current refrigerant detection systems. By focusing on new solutions, such as a mobile app user interface, and plug-and-play sensor technology, what used to take 25 minutes per gas detector now takes less than 5 minutes and can be done without training,” said Tom Burniston, Product Manager, Refrigerant Leak Detection. “By making the controller double as the power supply and using a daisy-chained Modbus, the unit requires only one cable hook-up, saving time and simplifying installation. Through our robust product development and our expertise in refrigerant leak detection, we are surpassing industry standards with this product series,” he said.
Engineered for Use in Refrigeration Applications
The MGS-400 has been engineered to help facility owners comply with safety standards in refrigeration applications:
