1 Overview CPC specs a modular refrigerant leak detection sensor (MRLDS) that continuously monitors for low levels of refrigerants most commonly used in commercial refrigeration systems. The MRLDS communicates with the E2 controller via a Gateway board connected to the RS485 I/O Network, or via the analog input on a MultiFlex board. 1.1 Specifications Power Requirements 24 VAC, ±20%, 50/60 Hz, Class 2 Wiring 14 AWG max, Class 2 copper wiring Power Consumption Less than 2.
If a transformer is shared between MRLDS units, the “ACN” of each MRLDS must be wired to the same phase of the transformer. 120VAC Tr MRLDS I MRLDS II er 24VAC rm o sf an ACN Figure 1-2 - Powering Multiple MRLDS Units 2 Choosing a Mounting Location Figure 2-1 - Sensor Base And Cover 2.1 Mounting The Sensor The refrigeration monitor comprises two basic parts: the base and the cover.

3.3 Refrigerant Jumper Settings 5. Select the board/point input. 6. Press F1 Setup. 7. Select Analog Sensor. The jumper settings for refrigerant types are located on the label inside the MRLDS sensor cover (shown in Figure 1-1). Set the jumpers according to how they are indicated on the label. 8. On the Analog Input screen, select MRLDS Refr. as the Sensor Type. The parameters are then automatically configured for you. 9. Press the J (Back) button to save changes.

CAUTION: Before installing the Gateway board, verify the jumper JP7 (located near the top center of the board) is set to the “NORMAL” position (not the “TEST” position). Operating the Gateway with the jumper in “TEST” position may cause board damage. The Gateway Board communicates with the MRLDS via the Modbus network, which is connected to the Gateway’s “Receiver Bus” network terminal. The Gateway communicates with the E2 via the RS485 I/O Network. 4.3.

Locate the RS485 connector and secure the wire leads to the connector orienting them as shown in Figure 4-10.
4.3.9 Setting the Baud Rate Dip Switches Dip switches 6 and 7 control the baud rate at which the Gateway communicates with the site controller on the RS485 Network. These switches must be set to the same baud rate setting as the controller you are using (Einstein, RMCC, or E2), and defaults to 9600 baud. Dip switch 8 controls the baud rate at which the Gateway communicates with the MRLDS. For 9600 baud, set dip switch 8 to the OFF position.

ways. Navigate to the controller’s Input Status screen and highlight the board and point that you wish to map. Press F1 to go to the Input Setup screen for that board/point. Each point will increase incrementally to correspond with each board. (For example, where the MRLDS is address 1 and the MRLDS address is 100, use board 1, point 1. For an MRLDS address of 101, use point 2.) 4.4.

(The Gain and Offset parameters are automatically configured for you.) 13. Use the arrow keys to move off the active fields and press 0 (zero) twice to go back to the main screen. 4.4.5 4.4.5.1 BEC and RMCC Controllers Less Than Version 2.1 Input Definitions Locate the screen in the BEC or RMCC where sensors are set up.
“MV” should be entered for sensor inputs that read fault status. 5 Diagnostics 5.1 tors MRLDS LED Indica- Gain and Offset Since the output terminals emit one volt for every 250 ppm of refrigerant detected, the gain for the refrigerant leak sensors must be set to 250 and the Offset to 0. The sensors configured to detect faults must be given a gain of 1000; this way, the REFLECS can be set up to alarm whenever it detects a 5000 mV signal. 4.4.5.4 The MRLDS has three LEDs for quick status indication.
