The Fill Time should e set such that there is sufficient time to fill an empty pipe work
system to full / normal pressure while ensuring a minimum escape of gas where a leak
exists.
(Factory default setting is 5 seconds).
Gas Prove Time. This should e set such that the smallest leak can e detected. This time
can e set up to a maximum of 9 minutes. Increasing this time effectively makes the
system more sensitive to gas leaks.
(Factory default setting is 1 minute).

Fan comm.
To ena le the commissioning of the gas portion of the system efore the ventilation interlock is
completed you may temporarily disa le the interlocking y pressing utton 22.
This will ypass the ventilation interlock allowing the gas to e tested, the system must not e
left in this state and as such is only for a maximum 24hour period efore auto exiting. While in
commissioning mode the display will show the message “Not to current standards”. Pressing
the utton again at anytime will cancel commissioning mode.
Learn Field devices.
Any gas detectors connected to the system will require “learning”. First ensure all detectors are set to a unique ID address using
the selector switch on the detectors themselves. Having addressed each detector press the learn field devices utton (23), the
system will scan and store any connected detectors. To verify that all detectors have een successfully learnt press the “ lind
utton B” on the front panel to view address details.

Gas Detection
Gas Detectors
IMPORTANT - Gas Detectors should not e installed until all uilding, construction or painting work etc.. Is completed, as these
works can effect the sensitivity and longevity of the detectors.
Ensure that the protective cover la els (RED) are removed only
after the completion of all uilding work and the system has
een commissioned y the Medem engineer.
The la els are required to e removed for the detectors to
operate, ut removal efore the completion of works risks
contaminating the sensor element.
The system is capa le of operating a mix of up to 16 detectors (additional power pack may e required) of different types.
The detector types are:
• Car on Dioxide.
• Car on Monoxide.
• Com usti le gases (Methane, Propane).
• Oxygen depletion and temperature.
Detector location will vary dependant on the individual characteristics of the target gas that is eing monitored for. See the gas
detectors own instructions for more guidance.
SEC-B Detector Information
+VE supply & Comm’s
From either the main panel or an
extender.
Detectors are wired in parallel and can e
connected to one another daisy chain
Address Selector
Each detector must e set to its own
address and then “learnt” using utton
(23, see page 5)
Connection and addressing
Status LED
All current wiring regulations must e followed with reference to running low and mains voltage ca les together.
The maximum ca le length etween a detector and the control panel should not exceed 100 meters, if the distance etween
the main panel and the detectors is greater than 20metres a 1mm screened ca le must e used on the +VE, 0v terminals
Gas detectors, require a four core screened Belden type security ca le or 600v rated BMS ca le (max ca le length of
100meters.)
Remote emergency stops and thermal links require a two core screened ca le.
Warranty will e void if Fire Protection Ca le or ca le over 1mm dia. is used on the SELV side.
When addressing gas detectors CO &
CO2 detectors must e num ered
efore natural gas detectors.

Detector Information
Detector location will vary dependant on the individual characteristics of the target gas that is eing monitored for.
The descriptions elow descri e the position for each detector after considering these characteristics.
For proper function care must e taken not to site a detector in a “dead space” or in the flow of any ventilation.
Natural Gas/Methane
Natural gas detectors should e mounted at high level on a wall approximately 150mm from the ceiling height and avoiding
corners and potential dead air areas.
Natural gas detectors should not e mounted elow the height of the top of a doorway for example. This is ecause as the gas
is slightly lighter than air it will rise filling the room from the ceiling down and will spill through the top of a door opening into the
next room. If the detectors are mounted elow this height then it will take longer the gas to reach the detector.
LPG /Propane
LPG gas is heavier than air so detectors need to e mounted at low level 100mm from the floor, consideration should e given
to any potential mopping or wet floor height.
Carbon Monoxide
Car on Monoxide is similarly weighted to air so detectors should e mounted etween 1 to 2 meters from the floor.
Carbon Dioxide
Car on Dioxide detectors should e installed so they monitor the general level of CO2 within the area. They should e mounted
a ove standing head height and etween 1m and 3m from the potential source. Care should e taken so they are not located
close to the edge of a canopy or in direct flow of the supply or extract ventilation.
For additional information or guidance on site specific requirements please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Detector Location
Detector Indications
Each detector has its own Bi-Colour LED which is used to indicate the status of that detector.
Not Lit: No power/comm’s. These a four wire units and all connections are required (0v, +VE, MA, MB), check the
polarity of oth the power and the comm’s (MA/MB) terminals are correct.
Flashing Green: Detector is warming up, the detectors will flash green on power up for 90 seconds while the sensor
elements sta ilize. The system will ignore any detectors while flashing.
Solid Green: Detector is powered and active. Note: The detectors will still require correctly addressing (using the address
selector pot) and learning y the system using utton 23, (see page 5).
Flashing Red: Low level alarm. All detectors have oth a low and high level alarm, low level alarms serve as a warning
that an unsafe condition may e uilding and gives chance to intervene efore loss of gas service.
Solid Red High level alarm. An unsafe level of the target gas have een reached and the system will isolate the
gas supply. The cause of the alarm will require identifying and resolving efore the gas supply can e re-
esta lished.
After installation a simple ump test can e performed y using an appropriate level test gas in order to check operation. Full
testing and cali ration checking takes place during a Medem commissioning.
