INTELLIGAS®

Gas leak detection system

for heating rooms and similar environments LYC11

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Electronic control unit for gas leak detection with single sensor aimed to drive a

gas flow cut-off 12VDC normally closed (NC) or normally open (NO) solenoid

valve. Single threshold sensor with tin dioxide sensing element. Possible control

of auxiliary devices (hooters, flashing lights, fans…) or 230VAC solenoid valves

through built-in relay. 24VAC power supply. Built-in battery charger for optional

external 12V buffer battery charge with automatic intervention in case of power

failure.

____________________________________________________________________________________________

LYC11 control unit is used, connected to a QA..13/A sensor, for optical/acoustic signaling

or to drive a gas flow cut-off valve in presence of dangerous concentrations of:

•methane (CH4)

•LPG

•carbon monoxide (CO)

note: Only one sensor QA..13/A can be connected to the control unit

The LYC11 can be installed as follows:

AOnto a DIN bar minimum length 120 mm

BOnto a wall using 2 screws

COn panel front end using a DIN bar minimum length 150mm

and 2 hex spacers 50 mm,screws and washers.

A B C

In a position exposed to natural air circulation. Never close to suction grids, openings

towards building outside or in place subject to water jets and anyhow near possible gas

leak places. Besides:

QAG13/A: High, at about 30cm (1 ft) from the ceiling, for light gas detection like

methane (CH4) or town gas.

QAG13.P/A: Low, at about 30cm (1 ft) from the floor, for heavy gas detection like LPG

(Propane, Butane, etc.).

QAO13/A:At about 1.5m (5 ft) from the floor, for detection of carbon monoxide (CO)

with density similar to air.

Check that environmental specifications of the installation place are compatible with the

values listed on technical data.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

It is possible to use common electric cables. However, when installing in places exposed

to high electromagnetic fields, use of shielded cables is recommended.

The LYC11 must be powered at 24VAC.

There is no protection against accidental connection with 230V on the 24V side.

Use double-insulation safety transformers; they should be sized for continuous operation

at rated power (please refer to technical data).

As a general rule:

Comply with local regulation about wiring. The device should be directly connected to

mains and be permanently powered up.Check that sensor QA..13/A is compatible with

the gas type to be detected and make certain that connected solenoid valve is compatible

with the control unit.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

The control unit is included in a case suitable for mounting on a DIN bar and a processing

and control PCB.

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Please carefully read and follow enclosed instructions and retain them with the equipment

for any future need.

The control unit and sensor are monitoring equipment, so they must not be tempered:

never touch the sensor or electronics.

LED TEST button = temporarily turns all LEDs ON in order to check their integrity.

OUTPUT TEST button = if pressed for at least 5s, starting from normal operating

condition, temporarily activates all outputs (valve + relay) in order to check regular

operation of intervention and signal devices.

Set JP2 jumper VALVE TYPE to NC for normally closed valve type E..D

(delivery condition) or to NO for normally open valve type E..E.

Set JP3 jumper VALVE MODE only in case ofnormally open valve use.

CONT position allows to set EV output constantly powered in case of

gas alarm, while PULSE position allows to set it powered by impulses

at 10s intervals.

Every change of jumper setup should be made under power off. Alternatively, if change is

made under power on conditions, the control unit must be powered off for at least 5s.

If no Intelligas valve should be connected to EV output, insert a valve termination Rv

1.8Kohm 1/2W (supplied with the equipment) in the EV terminal. This will avoid any wrong

valve fault signal.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

After powering up (24V AC) the control unit LYC11 carries out these phases in sequence:

1. Sensor preheating phase. During this phase, about 1min, the detection system is not

operational. Moreover, it is not possible to open the solenoid valve if normally closed,

while it is possible to if normally open.

2. TEST phase. During this phase, about 3min, all internal timers are zeroed in order to

facilitate sensor test (alarm simulation).

3. Normal operation phase. This is the normal operating phase of the control unit while

both gas alarm monitoring and self test for plant faults (sensor and valve) and system

faults (control unit) are active.

In presence of dangerous gas or carbon monoxide concentrations control unit LYC11

enters gas alarm phase and carries out these operations:

§Closes the gas cut-off solenoid valve and avoids it can be open again until alarm

condition is true. Closing is made as follows:

-NC Valve type = voltage cut-off from EV terminals

-NO Valve type = voltage feed to EV terminals, by impulses or continuously

(please refer to VALVE MODE jumper),

§Activates flashing of red alarm LED

§Activates auxiliary devices (if connected to the relay)

Once gas alarm condition is passed the control unit must be reset to normal operation.

Press RESET button on front side: the control unit carries out the following operations:

§makes possible manual opening of cut-off valve

§deactivates flashing of red alarm LED that turns steady on

§deactivates auxiliary devices (if connected to the relay)

At any moment, starting from normal operating condition, it is possible to activate again

TEST phase by pressing RESET button for at least 5s.

Note:

Return to normal operating condition by pressing RESET button is possible only if there

are no active alarms.

WARNING:

The sensor must be replaced within the 5th year from installation date

(*) Valve fault is detected by short circuit (normally closed valve), and by open circuit (normally open valve).

The simultaneousness of two or more events causes a combined management of LEDs

and outputs according to a given priority.

An alarm or fault condition during test phase (3 min) causes flashing of the relevant red or

yellow LED at 2Hz frequency instead of 1 Hz as indicated in function table. This latter will

be valid for events starting from normal operating condition.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Respect current regulations for wiring. The devices should be directly connected to mains

(that is with no switches, etc.) and be permanently powered up.

The positive logic operation of internal relay means an always energized contact (C-NC

open) in no alarm and/or fault condition.

EV control output is solid state type and is sized for an INTELLIGAS® solenoid

valve with 13W maximum absorbed power. It is not to be used to drive solenoid

valves with higher power consumption.
