MGC 100/200

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 General

Bacharach analyzers are easy to use, but it is essential that these Oper-

ating Instructions be read and understood by all operators and mainte-

nance personnel prior to using or servicing the instrument.

The Bacharach MGC series of monitors are versatile handheld instru-

ments that are designed to measure N2O, CO2and CO from piped medi-

cal-gas outlets.

Available in two models:

• MGC 100 – Measures N2O

• MGC 200 – Measures CO2and CO

Both models feature data-logging, run-and-charge capability, and a user-

zero function for all gases.

Power is provided by a long-life NiMH battery, which is capable of pro-

viding up to 10 hours of continuous operation from one charge.

The MGC 100 has built-in memory that allows it to store ‘snapshot’ read-

ings (pressing the f1 button stores the current reading in memory), while

the MGC 200 can automatically store up to 200 sets of gas readings in

memory at predetermined intervals. Readings can later be downloaded

to a personal computer for analysis via its integral IrDA communications

link and the optional BACH-COM software.

1.2 Features

•Up to 10 hours of operation on one charge

•Convenient zero function for all gas sensors

• Internal pump

•Battery capacity display

•Quick charge capability—2 hours

•IrDA link for downloading stored data to a personal computer

•Charge-and-run capability for long-term monitoring

•Flow restrictor that limits inlet pressure to 2 psig

•Manual storage (snapshot) of current gas reading (MGC 100)

•Both snapshot and automatic data-logging of up to 200 sets of

readings (MGC 200)

•Peak reading mode (MGC 200)

MGC 100/200

Instruction 0019-9322

1.3 Applications

• Piped medical gas checking

1.4 Instruction Manual

Unless otherwise noted, all paragraphs in this instruction manual

describe the operation and maintenance of both the MGC 100 and

MGC 200. For example, the heading 2.9 Battery Charge Display

(MGC 100) indicates that the information under this heading pertains

only to the MGC 100.

1.5 Measuring Ranges

Measurement Range / Resolution

N2O (MGC 100)*....................................................... 40 to 100% / 0.1%

CO2(MGC 200).............................................0 to 10,000 ppm / 10 ppm

CO (MGC 200) .....................................................0 to 500 ppm / 1 ppm

* Although the MGC 100 can display

readings below 40% N2O, the instru-

ment is most accurate between 40

and 100%.

2.0 OPERATION

2.1 Important Note

Always ensure that the instrument’s gas outlet (Figure 1, Item B) is un-

obstructed and open to the atmosphere.

2.2 Switching the Instrument ON/OFF

Switch ON the instrument by momentarily pressing the button (Fig-

ure 1, Item F). Switch the instrument OFF by pressing the button for

at least 3 seconds, or until the display goes blank. When ﬁrst switched

ON, there is a warm-up period of approximately 5 minutes for the MGC

100 and a 1 minute warm-up period for the MGC 200 before gas readings

are displayed. Note that normal fresh-air background readings of CO2is

approximately 340 ppm.

MGC 100/200

Instruction 0019-9322

2.3 Connecting Instrument to Medical Gas Outlet

Before proceeding, turn ON the instrument and allow it warm-up per

Section 2.2. The pump should be OFF at this time.

After warming up, connect the instrument’s gas inlet through the sup-

plied ﬂow restrictor to the medical gas outlet as follows:

CAUTION: Never apply gas directly from the medical gas

outlet to the instrument, as internal damage to the instrument

can result. The maximum pressure that can be applied to the

instrument is 2 psig, which corresponds to a ﬂow of between

100–200 cc/min.

1. Attach the threaded end of the ﬂow restrictor (supplied with instru-

ment) to a standard medical gas outlet ﬁtting, then attach ﬁtting to

gas outlet on wall.

2. Connect a 2 to 3 foot length of clear, ﬂexible 1/8" tubing (user supplied)

to the barbed end of the ﬂow restrictor .

3. Attach the other end of the plastic tubing to the instrument’s gas inlet

ﬁtting (Figure 1, Item A). Important! If the quality of the gas sample is

suspect, protect the instrument by inserting the supplied PTFE particu-

late ﬁlter in-line using appropriate ﬁttings and tubing.

2.4 Starting and Ending a Test

With the instrument turned ON and connected to the medical gas outlet

per Sections 2.2 and 2.3, begin testing with the pump OFF. Read the

display as described in Sections 2.5 and 2.6.

After completing a test, disconnect the sample tubing from the gas outlet.

Purge out any residual gas by ﬁrst disconnecting the ﬂow restrictor, and

then turning ON the pump by momentarily pressing the button. Allow

the pump to run for approximately 2 minutes before proceeding to the

next test.

2.5 Current Reading Display Mode

Depending on which model of the MGC is being used, the instrument is

capable of displaying the current N2O, or CO2and CO gas readings on its

LCD (Figure 1, Item C) as follows:

MGC 100 –Displays N2O plus battery capacity.

N2O %

99.9

MGC 200 –Displays either CO2or CO. Each measurement is displayed

separately on the instrument’s LCD. Toggle the display between the two

gas readings by momentarily pressing the f3button.

CO2 ppm CO ppm

340 0

2.6 Peak Reading Display Mode (MGC 200)

The MGC 200 can display either current or peak gas readings. Note that

a peak reading is the highest reading taken since the instrument was

switched ON.

MGC 100/200

Instruction 0019-9322

Activate the peak-reading mode by pressing and holding the f3button for

3 seconds. Once in the peak-reading mode, toggle the display between

“peak CO2” and “peak CO” by momemtarily pressing the f3button.

peakCO2 peakCO

1,530 200

To return the instrument to its current-reading mode, again press and

hold the f3button for 3 seconds.

To reset the peak gas readings back to the current readings, switch the

instrument OFF and then back ON.

2.7 Storing Readings

There are two data storage modes availiable:

• Snapshot

• Continuous Data Logging

Readings can be stored by either saving the currently displayed reading

(MGC 100 and 200), or starting a continuous data-logging process that

saves the readings at predetermined intervals (MGC 200 only).

The stored data can later be downloaded to a personal computer for

analysis using the instrument’s IrDA link and the optional BACH-

COM software. This software can also be used to alter the data-logging

interval, and save the data to a ﬁle for further analysis.

The procedures for storing gas readings for both the MGC 100 and 200

are described in Sections 2.7.1 and 2.7.2.

2.7.1 MGC 100 – Snapshot

After obtaining a steady reading, momentarily press the f1button to

store (take a snapshot of) the reading shown on the display along with

the current time and date.
