4.2.1. Detection
In the detections state, the power supply indicator should shine continuously on the control panel.
Alarm and fault indicators off. Current time shown on the display. Press arrow button to show
current date on the display.
Furthermore, the display presents detailed information on alarm stage for each detector. You can
browse list of detectors signaling alarm with arrow buttons.
The figure depicts alarms presentation layout on the display. The first two digits are detector
number. The A letter in the third position of the display informs that alarm information is displayed.
Alarm stage is presented in the fourth display position with horizontal number segments. The current
alarm is indicated with continuously lit line. The upper line refers to the first stage alarm, the middle
line refers to the second stage alarm, and the bottom line refers to the third stage alarm. Alarms and
faults are stored in the device until they are cleared by the user. The stored information can be
cleared with CLEAR button on the user panel.
If the detectors are still in the alarm state during clearing, he alarm in the control panel will be
repeated. In order to mute the sound signal press and hold the CLEAR button until a dot is displayed
in bottom right corner. New fault occurrence will automatically trigger the sound signal.
Furthermore, the alarm and fault information is stored in non-volatile internal memory in the form of
event log. The log stores all events with their occurrence date and time. The event log content is
accessible using ”Konfigurator CDG 6000” configuration application.

The detectors for detected gases are connected with the CDG control panel using specially designed
detection line. Each detector is assigned with unique address. The control panel may therefore
display state of each detector.
The detectors line may operate in two modes, as a radial or loop line. In the loop line mode, the line
end is connected with the control panel. The system is thus able to operate correctly even with line
breakage in one place.
The line is also immune to short circuits. The detectors are equipped with insulators which separate
the short circuit in such a way to assure operability of the maximum number of detectors.
When connecting detector line wires to the control panel, pay utmost attention to the line polarity as
well as correct cable screen connection with appropriate terminal.

The control panel is equipped with four universal relay outputs for control devices. The relay outputs
are potential-free and can handle direct and alternating current
Control inputs can receive alarms from external devices and control operation of devices controlled
directly by the control panel. Control inputs are parametric inputs. Apart from short circuit and
opening detection, the inputs distinguish 3 resistance ranges. This allows for full input control which
results in a connection with external device that is fully resilient to damage.
ID-E364-001 15
Each resistance range may be assigned with any system reaction. Control inputs may cooperate with
plain contact. Only shortcut and opening states are handled that mode.
Resistors are needed for full utilization of the control panel inputs. Figure 5.3.1 shows a method for
connection of a single connector in external device. This connection assures control over wires in the
case of short circuit or wires disconnection.
Figure 5.3.2 depicts connection of two external device contacts to one input. This type of connection
allows for detection of 3 states of the controlled device.

input using resistors. input using resistors.
The control panel is equipped with output for activation of cut-off valves. The output generates 12V
pulse. The output is fitted with built-in protection that limits the maximum current to 11A. Pulse time
may be programmed within the range from 0.2 to 1s.
The output is equipped with software protection against valve electromagnet damage. The
protection limits the possibility of valve activation before the end of the defined pause time.
NOTE. The valve may be properly energized only with a functional battery connected to the control
panel. Damaged or discharged battery does not allow for proper control pulse generation.
The control panel is fitted with 12V power supply output for detectors and external devices. The
maximum current of this output is limited to 500mA. The output is protected with a miniature fuse
NANO2 630mA. The fuse state is controlled by the control panel; its failure is signaled as a fault.
ID-E364-001 17
The CDG 6000 control panel may directly cooperate with the POLON6000 system. The gas detection
control panel may be connected to the POLON6000 fire alarm system detection line with additional
module MKA-60. LDA connector is provided for this connection. The LDA connector is described in
the following table.

The CDG control panel may be connected using USB port to a PC computer. Use USB cable with A
plug at one end and B plug at the other end to connect the computer with the control panel. For
longer distances between the computer and the control panel use so called active extension USB
cable. Upon connection, the USB port of the CDG 6000 control panel should be displayed by the
computer as USB Serial Port (COMxxx).
The application automatically detects the control panel connected with the computer and informs
For this purpose use icon. Click this icon to display the following tab:
When the configuration tab is visible icons for configuration read-out and write to disk are active.
Furthermore, if communication with the control panel is established icons for configuration read-out
and transfer to the control panel are also active.
The left side of the tab consists of menu with system elements available for configuration. Elements
grouped in the following categories:
- Detectors
- Inputs
- Outputs
- Control
- Control panel settings
20 ID-E364-001
In order to configure detects the line should be automatically configured. This procedure detects all
detectors connected with the control panel. To start the automatic configuration press
”Automatic configuration” button. This procedure runs until the ”Automatic configuration” button is
pressed again.
Upon the procedure completion the list should include all detectors connected with the control
panel. Click each item to display detailed detector information in the right side of the dialog box.
Furthermore, set the required sensor type for each detector. During operation, the control panel
continuously tests whether functional sensor of the required type is placed in each base.
- State control
- Activation control
- Alarm input
The first mode allows for output state control in order to assign its states with relay activations. In
this mode, the users decide only whether short circuit and opening states should result in fault
signalization.
Activation control mode is intended to manage devices using the control panel. This allows for
continuous control over external devices and for reporting information on their incorrect operation.
In order to control a device it must be equipped with contacts that feedback its state. An example of
the connection is depicted in figures 5.3.1 and 5.3.2.
In the Activation control area, select an output to which the controlled device is connected.
In the activation control mode users select activation and deactivation delays. This time allows the
device to change its state. The delay time is starts after each control relay state change. If the state of
the device control output will not change within the delay time the control panel reports controlled
device defect.
Alarm input mode allows for reception of alarms from external devices other than detectors
connected using a detector line. In this mode, resistance levels are set for which the control panel
should report different alarm levels. The alarms received from control inputs exert influence on the
general alarm state of the control panel.
22 ID-E364-001
The CGD control panel is equipped with 4 relays. Apart from continuous activation the relay may
operate in pulse modes:
- timely – allows for generation of a single pulse with defined length (activation time)
- pulsed – the relay continuously generates pulses based on defined time parameters: pulse time
length (activation time) and pause time
The cut-off valve output is a special control output. The configuration tab for this output includes
pulse time setting and minimal time between pulses setting.
NOTE. Cut-off valve control pulse settings must match valve manufacturer recommendations.
Otherwise the cut-off valve may become inoperable or defective.
Each control panel control outputs may be configured with independent activation criterion. Each
criterion is composed with 1 to 4 conditions which together result in a scenario of events that must
be fulfilled in order to activate the given output. Each one of four events may be negated, and thus
its absence fulfills the output activation condition. Furthermore, it is possible to define whether the
criterion should be fulfilled with the occurrence of one event or all active events.
ID-E364-001 23
Detector line may operate as a loop line or radial line. In the loop mode the line end is connected
with loop input. This allows for correct detector line operation even when broken in one place. A
single short cut in the line may also be separated by the adjoining elements without any
communication failure.
The MKA module allows for the CDG 6000 control panel operation as a line element for the POLON
6000 system. This operation type is permissible when the control panel is fitted with MKA module
and ”MKA Module: active" option is selected in the ”Detector line and MKA settings” tab.
To prevent deletion of events stored in the control panel by unauthorised persons this feature may
be protected with access password. To protect the deletion with password select option ”Activate
deletion access password”. Next, using drop-down menus, set the required sequence of the control
panel keys.
All CDG 6000 control panel circuits are controlled. All faults are reported and recorded in the event
log. The event log contains up to 5000 events. After saving 5000 events, the oldest events are
overwritten by new ones.
The event log may be read using the Konfigurator CDG600 application.
