1 Overview CPC specs a modular refrigerant leak detection sensor (MRLDS) that continuously monitors for low levels of refrigerants most commonly used in commercial refrigera- tion systems. The MRLDS communicates with the E2 controller via a Gateway board connected to the RS485 I/O Network, or via the analog input on a MultiFlex board. 1.1 Specifications Figure 1-1 - Sensor Base Opening With Screw Terminals 1.2 MRLDS Models 24 VAC, ±20%, 50/60 Hz, Class 2 Power Require- ments 14 AWG max, Cla

CAUTION: Before installing the Gateway board, verify the jumper JP7 (located near the top center of the board) is set to the “NOR- MAL” position (not the “TEST” position). Operating the Gateway with the jumper in “TEST” position may cause board damage. The Gateway Board communicates with the MRLDS via the Modbus network, which is connected to the Gate- way’s “Receiver Bus” network terminal. The Gateway communicates with the E2 via the RS485 I/O Network. 4.3.4 Powering the Gateway Board Fi
