2. Product Description
2.1. Product Overview
The MGS-408 Gas Detection Controller displays comprehensive and centralized
information about the status of all connected gas detectors. A maximum of eight
Bacharach gas detectors can be connected to the MGS-408 via Modbus RTU.
Compatible gas detectors are:
• MGS-410 • MGS-250
• MGS-450 • MGS-550
• MGS-460
The MGS-408 can be used to provide power to each connected, compatible gas detector,
negating the need for separate power supply at the location of the gas detector.
The MGS-408 displays status via an LCD screen and a bank of LEDs that represent
the channel / sensor connected to it. Each channel / sensor has a row of dedicated
LEDs to indicate the status of the sensor:
• Power • Low alarm
• High alarm • Fault
The LCD screen will display the current gas reading and gas type for the selected
channel, or will indicate fault and/or alarm status. The LCD screen is also used for
conguration of the MGS-408 via the integrated keypad.
In addition to the LED alarm status, the MGS-408 includes an integrated audible
alarm. An optional beacon can be installed, mounted in the top of the enclosure, to
enhance local alarm indication.
The MGS-408 provides relays (indicating any high alarm, low alarm or fault status) and
can act as a Modbus slave device. This allows connection to a third-party device such
as a Building Management System (BMS) or Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).
Data logging is available on the MGS-408 via the integrated SD card, which can be
removed to allow download of the logged data to a computer. The data will include
a date stamp of all high and low alarms as well as all faults.

WARNING: This instrument is neither certied nor approved for operation in
oxygen-enriched atmospheres. Failure to comply may result in EXPLOSION.
WARNING: For your safety, DO NOT use this instrument in locations classied
as hazardous because it has not been designed to be intrinsically safe for use
in such areas.
2.2. Intended Use
The MGS-408 provides audio-visual alerts and information pertaining to the status
of a centralized gas detector network. This information allows concise, at-a-glance
notication of any alarm or fault status regarding a connected gas detector located
outside the monitored space, as required by many regulatory codes and standards.
