Ammonia Gas Monitor – Multi Zone

Instruction 3015-5113

General Operation
Functional Overview
Normally each AGM-MZ will sequentially perform measurements on its active zones without user input. The
total time it takes an AGM-MZ to complete a measurement cycle is directly proportional to the number of
active zones and the physical length of the air lines. Monitors linked together on a network operate
independently of each other and consequently complete their respective measurement cycles at different
rates.
The AGM-RD operates by polling the network approximately once every 12 seconds to determine the current
status of the AGM-MZ monitors. If more than one AGM-MZ is connected to the network, it will sequentially
poll each monitor for its status. As a practical matter this simply means that the more complicated the
network, the longer it will take the AGM-RD to update the status information for all zones.
