Features
The BX444-M is a wall or panel mounted microprocessor
based gas detector control unit. It can be configured to
meet customer requirements. The following parameters
can be changed using on board DIP switches:
Number of sensors from 1 to 4
Type
of gas to be sensed (explosive or toxic)
Display type, either LEL or ppm
Intrinsic safety option (on or off)
Main alarm relay action (latching or auto-reset)
Oxygen Depletion or Excess monitoring
Application
Duomo is recognised within the gas industry for
providing a comprehensive range of low cost, high
reliability gas detection for many applications. Duomo
Gas detectors are installed in locations such as boiler
rooms, kitchens, car parks, aircraft hangers,
factories and shopping centres. The BX444-M is the
command centre for the complete range of Duomo
gas sensors. All Duomo products are manufactured
to meet relevant European Normatives and proposals
for explosive and toxic gases. EN50194 EN50291
EN50270 EN 61010-1 and designed to be installed to
EN60079-29-2.
Operation
When any connected sensor detects the presence of
the targetgasa4-20mA signal is sent to the
detector, proportional to the level of gas. The
BX444-M then operates a pre-alarm relay - used for
remote sirens or visual indicators. If the level of gas
continues to rise then the second pre-alarm is
actuated. In the case of explosive gases, when the
level of gas reaches 20% LEL, the main alarm relay is
activated to break the electrical supply to the gas
safety shut-off valve (SSOV). The BX444-M also has a
separate volt-free sensor fault relay that actuates if the
correct return signal is not sensed by the detector. The
BX444-M can be configured to detect explosive or toxic
gases. The backlit colour display scrolls through each
sensor and reports their individual status.
CAUTION!
Carefully read the following instruc tions prior to
installation of this device. Always keep this pamphlet for
future reference. Ensure that the gas detection system is
wired correctly and is only used for the purpose for
which it is intended.

Installation and User Guide Rev.01.
The
New BX444Mc has a TEST timer function for use by
service and commissioning engineers only. The
controller has a built in sensor test delay that permits the
main alarm relay - in a typical installation operates the
gas valve - to remain on during the alarm phase of a gas
test. This is a great feature in situations where shutting
down the gas supply to boiler plant and other
appliances is not desirable. For more information call the
Duomo technical department on 01905 797989.

Display Description

Wiring and Installation

Electrical Installation

The BX444-Mc is a safety device designed to give audible alarms and automatically provide latched electrical isolation of associated gas safety shut off valves.

Installing a Sensor

The sensors must be mounted as shown below with the sintered head pointing vertically down.

Important Notes

Always check the wiring before powering up the system. Do not test this sensor with anything other than Duomo test gas.

Configuring The BX444-Mc

Zone ON/OFF Configuration

Zone ON or OFF - The BX444-Mc will not look for a sensor on a given zone if the switch is moved to the OFF position.

Gas Type Configuration

Type of gas to be sensed. These are labelled as GAS or CO. Symbols refer to EN standard symbols.

Positive Safety Configuration

Positive safety determines the condition of the main alarm relay and hence the operation of the gas valve.

Main Alarm Relay Configuration

Main Alarm relay actuation method. Configurable for latching or temporary alarm operation.

BX444-Mc Operation Details

Memory Mode Configuration

Determines whether the audible alarm remains operational after levels have dropped. In memory mode, the alarm remains and will need to be manually reset.

Oxygen Level Monitoring

Configured to indicate oxygen levels. The function is determined by setting either excess oxygen or oxygen depletion on the sensor itself.

Power-up Sequence and Test

Details the power-up sequence, LED checks, sensor warm-up period, and manual TEST button function.
