Bacharach MGS-400 Gas Detection Series

Bacharach has introduced the MGS-400 Gas Detection Series for commercial and industrial refrigerant and gas leak detection applications.

The gas detectors support safety compliance inside of machinery rooms, mechanical equipment rooms, chiller plants, cold storage facilities and walk-in freezers by monitoring for dangerous refrigerant leaks for numerous gases including HFCs, HFOs, HCFCs, CO₂ and NH₃ (ammonia). 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.

The gas detectors are supported by a mobile app user interface, making configuration, calibration and maintenance simple and intuitive. Reducing commissioning and installation time, they deliver efficiency while allowing for plug-and-play, precalibrated sensor installation and replacement in the field. Using the mobile app and plug-and-play sensors, the gas detectors are installed quickly. Calibration certificates can be generated from the mobile app and sent by email or shared to cloud storage platforms.

The optional MGS-408 Gas Detection Controller supports up to eight sensor channels and enables a centralised alarm and power system. With Modbus connectivity, the controller integrates with any facility’s existing building management or automation system. The controller also connects with the MGS-250 IR-based refrigerant monitor and the dual-sensor MGS-550, allowing for flexibility of individual site requirements. Power and communication connectivity from the controller to all sensors can be done with a single cable in a daisy-chain design.
