DGS Installation test
As DGS is a digital device with self-monitoring, all internal errors 
are visible via the LED and Modbus alarm messages. 
All other error sources often have their origins in other parts of the 
installation.
For fast and comfortable Installation test we recommend 
proceeding as follows.
Optical Check 
Right cable type used. 
Correct mounting height according to definition in Mounting. 
LED status – see DGS trouble shooting. 
Functional test (for initial operation and maintenance) 
Functional test is done by pressing the test button for more than 
8 sec and observing all connected outputs (Buzzer, LED, Relay 
connected devices) are working properly. After deactivation all 
outputs must automatically return to their initial position 
Zero-point test (if prescribed by local regulations) 
Zero-point test with fresh outdoor air. 
A potential zero offset can be read out by use of the Service tool. 
Trip test with reference gas (if prescribed by local regulations) 
The sensor is gassed with reference gas (for this you need a gas 
bottle with pressure regulator and a calibration adapter). 
In doing so, the set alarm thresholds are exceeded, and all output 
functions are activated. It is necessary to check if the connected 
output functions are working correctly (e.g. the horn sounds, the 
fan switches on, devices shut down). By pressing the push-button 
on the horn, the horn acknowledgment must be checked. After 
removal of the reference gas, all outputs must automatically return 
to their initial position.
Other than the trip testing, it is also possible to perform a 
functional test by means of calibration. For further information, 
please refer to the User Guide. 
Comparing sensor gas type with DGS specification
The replacement sensor specification must match the DGS 
specification. 
The DGS software automatically reads the specification of the 
connected sensor and compares with the DGS specification. 
This feature increases the user and operating security. 
New sensors are always delivered factory-calibrated by Danfoss. 
This is documented by the calibration label indicating date 
and calibration gas. A re-calibration is not necessary during 
commissioning if the device is still in its original packaging (is not 
air-tight protection by the red protective cap) and the calibration 
certificate has not expired.
