Details
The Bacharach MGS-450 NH3 gas detector is a precision ammonia gas detection solution built for industrial refrigeration systems, cold storage facilities, and mechanical rooms where reliable safety monitoring is essential. Designed with plug-and-play sensor modules and flexible integration options, this gas detector simplifies both installation and ongoing maintenance for facility and safety teams.
Key Features:
- Enclosure Options: Optional IP41 or IP66-rated enclosures protect against dust and water ingress
- Sensor Replacement: Plug-and-play, pre-calibrated sensor modules for quick, simple swaps
- Temperature Compensation: Mitigates false alarms and maintains accuracy in cold rooms and freezers down to -40°C
- Configurable Outputs: Analog output (4-20mA, 0-5V, 0-10V, 1-5V or 2-10V) plus Modbus communications for integration with Bacharach's MGS-408 controller or third-party BMS/BAS systems
- Configurable Relays: Three user-configurable relays (fault, low and high alarm) can trigger beacons, sounders, ventilation, or other countermeasures
- Integrated Alarms: Built-in audible and visual alarms support refrigeration safety compliance without extra hardware
- Mobile App Support: MGS-400 app (Android and iOS) enables Bluetooth commissioning and maintenance without specialty tools or training
Ideal For:
- Industrial and commercial refrigeration systems using ammonia (NH3)
- Cold storage facilities, cold rooms, and freezers requiring reliable low-temperature performance
- Facilities integrating gas detection with BMS/BAS or Bacharach's MGS-408 controller network
- Safety teams needing fast, tool-free sensor commissioning and maintenance
