ACME MegaSet - Model CEL-LS Series -Microprocessor-Based Multipoint Multi-Gas Detection and Control System

The versatility of the multipoint multigas detection system allows the user to customize the system parameters (ON-OFF level setpoints, time delays, hysteresis, scan rate, sensor type, and range, etc.) via a removable keyboard and LCD screen. The menu-driven options appear in plain English for easy field programming. The LCD display provides a continuous digital read-out of gas concentrations for each sensor/transmitter, as well as levels status (LOW, HIGH & ALARM), the battery voltage, and the time elapsed in minutes since the last transmission.

In its most basic configuration, the Megaset multipoint multigas detection Control Panel supports up to 256 channels where each channel is treated independently controlling a fan zone. In this configuration, each channel has a set of relay outputs for Low, High, and Alarm levels and/or a 4-20 mA signal proportional to the gas concentration. In a more practical application, the channels are divided into groups that collectively serve various fan zones. In the latter configuration, each group (zone) has a set of relay output contacts and/or 4-20mA signal proportional to the demand from that group.

The CEL-LS also has an optional BACnet IP interface. This option provides a read/write option that is unmatched. This option provides full visibility of all network points and allows users to operate peripheral devices, such as fans, by using the override commands from the Building Management System (BMS).

Principle of Operation

The ST Series Sensor/Transmitters provide a linear, 4-20 mA output signal over the desired detection range for the gas selected. This signal is digitally transmitted to the CEL(LS) Control Panel using an addressable RS-485 communication interface.

Typical Specifications:

Supply, install and connect at locations shown on plans ACME model XX-ST-485 Sensor/Transmitters and a CEL (LS) Control Panel. Each Sensor/Transmitter shall be interrogated by the Control Panel and its data acquired and stored in memory.

The CEL (LS) Control Panel shall have multiple ON-OFF (LOW, HIGH & ALARM) outputs with visual status indicators. Discrete relay contacts shall be available to operate the mechanical ventilation equipment based on demand. Local and/or remote alarm devices shall also be activated by the ON-OFF relays.

The CEL (LS) Control Panel shall have a removable keyboard to program system control parameters. The CEL (LS) Control Panel’s logic circuits shall operate the exhaust/supply fans and dampers according to job specifications. The Control Panel shall supply 24VAC to all remote Sensor/Transmitters.

The standard panel provided shall be a gasketed NEMA 1 enclosure with provision for a 120VAC 50/60 Hz power input. Power shall be supplied from a dedicated uninterruptible 15A circuit. (Provision for battery back-up is optional).
