Standalone Gas Controller

Specifications subject to change without notice. | USA 230124 | Page 1 of 6

DESCRIPTION
Wall-mounted, NEMA 4X standalone ventilation
PolyGard®2
controller with one, two, or three high-performance SGC6
SC2-Series gas sensor modules.
Intuitive, menu-driven setup allows on/off, multi-speed,
and variable speed control of ventilation equipment in
response to user-specified gas concentration levels.
Multi-color LCD and standard horn/light module for
local annunciation of escalating alarm levels.
Conforming to Safety Integrity Level 2 (SIL 2) and
rigorous international standard EN 50545-1 for parking
garages and tunnels, PolyGard®2 monitoring and
control systems utilize advanced self-diagnostics and
flexible ventilation control functions to ensure maximum
human safety without compromising energy efficiency.
Advanced, microprocessor-based X-Change sensor
modules meet or exceed the EN 50545-1 self-
diagnostic standards including notifying the controller
when calibration is due. Although field calibration is
EMC Directives 2014/30/EU
possible, X-Change technology allows fast and cost-
effective sensor module swaps minimizing field service LVD 2014/35/EU
time, eliminating system downtime and ensuring peak CE
system performance for many years. EN 61010-1:2010
EN 50271
APPLICATION
ANSI/UL 61010-1
To detect and control levels of toxic and combustible CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1
gases in a wide variety of commercial applications
such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide levels
in parking structures, package sorting hubs, vehicle
repair shops, tunnels, and equipment rooms. Although
typically operating as a standalone controller directly
activating ventilation equipment in response to rising
gas levels, the SGC6 can also work in conjunction
with building management systems via Modbus
serial communications, analog (gas value) or binary
(threshold / relay) output signals.

FEATURES
• 1 or 2 on-board SC2-Series gas sensor modules • Menu-driven controller setup
• Optional 3rd gas sensor input with DR6 Digital • X-Change sensor technology for low-cost life cycle
Remote sensor maintenance
• 2-Line, 16-character LCD display with dual color • Digital measurement processing with temperature
background compensation
• Two (2) SPDT alarm relays, 30 VAC/VDC, 0.5 A • Internal diagnostics including integrated hardware
• One (1) 4-20mA analog output watchdog
• Audible / visual alarm annunciation • High-impact polycarbonate enclosure, NEMA 4X
• RS-485 serial communications to DGC6-Series (IP65)
Digital Gas Controllers or other Modbus controllers • Software conforms to SIL 2 standard
• 24 VAC/VDC powered
