Installation Instructions
The following instructions are intended to serve as a guideline for the use of the Kele KGD-BACNET Adapter. It is not to be considered all-inclusive, nor is it intended to replace the policy and procedures for each facility. If you have any doubts about the applicability of the equipment to your situation, call Technical Support at 877-826-9045.
WARNING
This equipment may not function effectively below 0°F or above 125°F (-18°C or above 52°C). Using the detector outside of this temperature range may adversely affect product performance.
Location
Refer to the user instructions of the specific Kele 6-Series gas detector to which the KGD-BACNET will be connected.
Installation
The Kele KGD-BACNET Adapter converts the Kele 6-Series 4-20mA analog output to a digital output for use with addressable network systems. The Kele 6-Series is a family of fully programmable, low voltage, dual relay gas detectors, controllers and transducers for BAS, HVAC and Fire & Security applications. The 6-Series detectors are used to measure the concentration of various gas and provide feedback and automatic control to help ensure a safe environment: Carbon Monoxide, Methane, Propane, Hydrogen, Nitrogen Dioxide and other gases.
- Remove the 4-20mA/Power connector from the Kele 6-Series gas detector.
- Plug the KGD-BACNET adapter into the empty 4-pin socket.
- Install the provided KGD-BACNET screw.
- See the wiring diagram for wire connection.
- The KGD-6-Series detector mounts on a 4”x 4” electrical box supplied by the contractor.
- Connect the detector to the control cables with terminal plugs. When making connections, make sure the power is off.
- There are two terminals for the dry alarm relay contacts, again with no polarity preference. The alarm relay can switch up to 0.5 A 120 V, or 60 VA. The alarm relay is activated if gas reaches or exceeds the alarm settings. See Operation of the detector User Instructions for details on relay settings.
- The alarm relay can be configured to normally open (default) (N.O.) or normally closed (N.C.) and will activate if the gas concentration exceeds alarm set point. It will deactivate once the gas concentration drops below the alarm set point. Note that the “disable” setting will cause the alarm relay not to engage at all.
- The dry contact, SPDT fan relay has three terminals: The Common (COM), normally open (N.O.) and the normally closed (N.C.) contact. The fan relay can switch up to 5.0 A up to 240 VAC. See Operation section of the detector User Instructions for details on relay settings.
Connection
The Kele KGD-BACNET output is connected via a four-terminal screw type connector. The KGD-BACNET adapter is wired in the standard 2W-Modbus circuits definition with selectable built-in terminating resistors at the ends of the RS-485 bus. The power for the KGD-BACNET adapter is connected via a two-terminal screw type connector, 12 to 24 VAC or 12 to 24 VDC and no polarity.
Note: Running the Modbus cable adjacent to or in the same conduit with high voltage wires is not recommended as there may be interference from the high voltages. Line polarization should not be required for the KGD-BACNET but may be required for other devices on the RS-485 line – see manufacturer’s directions.
Wiring
Signal Wire
A serial Line Cable should be shielded for best performance. The shield should be connected on each detector at SHD terminal and connected to a ground terminal or chassis only at one end of the bus. An RS-485 must use a balanced pair (for A & B) and a third wire (for the Common). For RS-485, Wire Gauge must be chosen sufficiently wide to permit the maximum length (1,000m or 3,281ft). AWG 24 is always sufficient for the Data. Category 5 cables may operate for RS-485, to a maximum length of 600 m 1968.5 ft. For the balanced pairs used in an RS- 485-system, wire with a characteristic impedance of higher than 100 Ohms may be preferred, especially for 19200 and higher baud rates.
Note: It is recommended to always use twisted wires to reduce noise and allow for reliable data communication over greater distances. Use at least 3-conductor wire with one twisted pair providing a pair for signal (A & B) and Common (COM) connections.
For best performance use shielded 3-conductor wire with one twisted pair providing a pair for signal (A & B), Common (COM) and shield ground (SHD) connections.
Topology
An RS-485 configuration without repeater has one trunk cable, along which devices are connected, directly (daisy chaining) or by short derivation cables. The trunk cable, also named “Bus”, can be long. Its two ends must be connected on Line Terminations. (see Line Termination – End of Line Resistor section). The use of repeaters between several RS-485 is also possible.
Length
The end-to-end length of the trunk cable must be limited. The maximum length depends on the baud rate, the cable (Gauge, Capacitance or Characteristic Impedance), the number of loads on the daisy chain, and the network configuration (2-wire). For a maximum 9600 Baud Rate and AWG26 (or wider) gauge, the maximum length is 1000m 3281ft. The derivations must be short, never more than 20m 65.5ft. If a multi-port tap is used with n derivations, each one must respect a maximum length of 40m 131ft divided by n.
Grounding
The Common circuit (COM) must be connected directly to protective ground, preferably at one point only for the entire bus.
Power Wire
All field wiring is completed via modular connectors (provided). After wiring, simply plug the modular connectors into the matching connectors on the KGD-BACNET. The power connections to the remote mounted detectors should be size AWG18 (minimum) for short runs. Since Kele detectors are rated for operation between 12 and 24 VDC or VAC, the voltage drop between the power supply and the KGD-BACNET should not be an issue if the recommended power wire gauge guidelines below are followed. The terminals will accept wire from 16 to 28 AWG. To install a wire, strip back approximately 0.25 in. (6 mm) of insulation and insert the bare wire into the terminal. Tighten the screw clamp and ensure that the wire cannot be easily pulled from the connector.
Wire gauge | Feet | Meters |
18 | 500 | 152 |
16 | 800 | 244 |
14 | 1250 | 381 |

Firmware and Configuration Update
To receive the latest version of Kele NPU, as well as firmware and configurations, download the Kele NPU from our website http://www.Kele.com/downloads.html. If a newer version of firmware is available in the NPU you will be prompted to update when connected to the KGD-BACNET. Kele NPU Folder downloaded from website contains a file “KGD-BACNET_VXXX.DUF” where VXX is the version number. This file is the configuration file for different communication protocol supported by KGD-BACNET. This configuration file can be uploaded to KGD-BACNET using following procedure.
- Open the Kele Network Parameter Utility Software.
- If KGD-BACNET is connected to PC via USB, the software will display home screen like one in Figure 5-1. If Software does not detect the KGD-BACNET it will display “No Device Connected”. Make sure software detects the panel before proceeding.
- Go to File (on the top left corner of the software) and select “Update Device…”.
- A new window will pop up to select the file. Select the DUF file and hit Open.
- Now the DUF file will be loaded into the panel. The progress of the file update is displayed at the bottom.
Once the update is complete it will reset the device and it will return to home screen. Verify the correct version of the device configuration file is updated. Device configuration version is displayed alongside the product image displayed in NPU software. It has format “Multi-Protocol VX.XX” where X.XX corresponds to the device configuration version.
Place the EOL jumper on one of the following positions:
- Y = 120 ohm
- N = No termination (default)
If Line Termination requirements are different than those provided, then the line termination will need to be provided by the installer.
Operations
Power up
The Kele KGD-6-Series detector cycles through an internal self-test cycle for the first minute that it is powered. The unit will execute the test cycle any time power is dropped and reapplied (i.e. power failure). During the self- test cycle the unit will display the firmware version number, then count down from 60 to 0 (if the display setting is “On”) and finally go into normal operation. The alarm relay will be activated for 10 seconds and the fan relay for 60 seconds during the power-up cycle unless the “Power Up Test” (PUt) option is OFF. The indicator light (LED) will flash green during the self-test cycle. At the end of the 1-minute cycle, the unit will take its first sample of the air and the indicator light will turn solid green.
The KGD-BACNET is an adapter which allows the reading of a KGD-6-Series gas detector over a RS-485 interface. To achieve this, the KGD-BACNET will monitor the 4-20 mA current output of the detector. At power up and during its warm-up period, the 6-Series detector will communicate its sensor type over the 4-20 current output using a custom protocol. The KGD-BACNET will automatically register each 6-Series detector as it is programmed with information about all the detectors to which it can be connected. The KGD-BACNET will use this information to determine the gas level sensed by the KGD -6-Series detector by measuring the 4-20 mA current-loop output during normal operation of the detector.
4-20mA Loop
The 4-20mA Loop must be enabled “ON”, the 6-Series detector. If the 4-20mA loop has been disabled “OFF” the 6-series detector will not be able to send the signal information to the KGD-BACNET.
Normal Operation
- When the LED is solid GREEN, operation is normal, the KGD-BACNET knows the detector type, no errors are detected, and no data are being received or transmitted over the RS-485 line.
- When the LED is GREEN with random bursts of AMBER, operation is normal and now data are being received or transmitted over the RS-485 line. The AMBER LED will come on anytime that there is data traffic.
Troubleshooting
On-Board Diagnostics
Unknown Sensor Code
GREEN/OFF Alternating every 500 milliseconds – The KGD-BACNET does not know the detector type, no Modbus communications are in progress and no errors are detected.
To correct this condition:
- Disconnect the power line from the KGD-BACNET.
- Disconnect the communication line from the KGD-BACNET.
- Re-connect the communication line to the KGD-BACNET.
- Re-connect the power line to the KGD-BACNET.
Error Codes
Solid RED – The KGD-BACNET detected an error and no Modbus communications are in progress. RED with random bursts of AMBER – The KGD-BACNET detected an error and AMBER is displayed when data are received or transmitted over the RS-485 line
There are a number of conditions which are signalized in this way:
- Current EEPROM Settings not initialized
- Current EEPROM Settings have bad checksum
- Factory EEPROM Settings not initialized
- Factory EEPROM Settings have bad checksum
- Unknown Sensor exponent value
- Watchdog reset
- Loaded Factory EEPROM Settings in EEPROM Current Settings
- Latched sensor type different than registered sensor type

Maintenance
The KGD-BACNET does not require regular maintenance. All maintenance and repair of products manufactured by Kele are to be performed at the appropriate Kele manufacturing facility. Kele does not sanction any third-party repair facilities.
WARNING
Do not disassemble unit or attempt to repair or modify any component of this instrument. This instrument contains no user serviceable parts, and substitution of components may impair product performance and void product warranty.
CAUTION
Avoid the use of harsh cleaning materials, abrasives, and other organic solvents. Such materials may permanently scratch the surfaces and damage the LEDs, labels, or instrument housing.
Cleaning
Cleaning of the external surfaces is best carried out using a damp cloth with a mild detergent or soap. Use a vacuum cleaner with soft brush to remove dust or contamination. Do not blow out the sensor with compressed air.
Testing
The Kele KGD-BACNET adapter converts the 4-20mA analog signal from Kele 6-Series type detectors to a digital signal for use with multipoint addressable systems. The 6-Series test procedures may be used to ensure that the KGD-BACNET accepts the 4-20mA output for communications. All 6-Series detectors are factory calibrated and 100% tested for proper operation. The units also perform a regular automatic self-test during normal operation. If the unit detects an improper voltage or inoperable component, it will default into Error mode. In this error mode, the Fan and Alarm relays will be activated, the 4-20 mA output will go to 24 mA, the unit will display the error code and the buzzer will chirp intermittently.
Operation Test
Normally this will be the only test required for the 6-Series detectors and is the recommended way to test the unit or units after installation. Check that the detector operating LED light is illuminated Green continuously. If not, do not proceed with the tests. If the unit is in error mode, contact your local representative or Kele technical service representative for information on resolving the problem.
- Remove the single screw in the middle of the front cover of the 6-Series detector.
- Remove the front cover.
- Observe the LED light on the front of the 6-Series detectors.
- If the light is solid green, proceed to step 6.
- If the light is off or flashing Green, refer to the Section 5.3 Normal Operation above.
- Locate the switch labeled ENTER/TEST on the left side of the printed circuit board. Press the Test switch once.
- The 6-Series detector will step through a cycle test:
- The display progresses through the bUZ (buzzer Test) Art (alarm relay test), Frt (fan relay test) then 42t (4-20 mA output test).
- Make sure that the settings are “on” and not disabled “diS”.
- During the first 10 seconds of the test cycle, the display will show “bUZ” and set off the audible buzzer.
- The alarm relay will be closed, so any devices connected to that relay will be tested.
- The Fan relay will be activated for the next 1 minute of the test, so if the fan circuits are wired in the typical manner, the fan should run.
- The 4-20mA output will then ramp up from 4 to 16 mA over the next 130 seconds of the test, so if the circuit is wired in the normal manner, the control panel or building automation system should respond.
- At the end of the test cycle, the light will turn green and be on steady (Normal Operation), the fan and alarm relays will be in standby mode and the 4-20 mA output will return to 4 mA in clean air (Exception for Oxygen with OX-6).
- When testing is completed, reassemble the unit or units
Manual Operation Test
This option gives the user the opportunity to manually initiate an individual test for the audible buzzer, each relay, the analog output and the sensor response to gas. From normal operation mode, press the Next button 2 times to get to the Test Mode (tSt). Press the Enter button once to get into the Test Menu. Press the Next button to scroll through the Four test options and press Enter to initiate the selected test.

Appendix A
Please refer to KGD-BACNET product page in www.Kele.com for details on Modbus Registers, BACnet Objects, Metasys N2 Objects, and Siemens FLN points.
NOTE: KGD-BACNET dynamically adjusts which objects/registers are exposed on the network based on whether a single-sensor detector or dual-sensor detector is detected by the KGD-BACNET. So, please refer to corresponding object mapping available on the KGD-BACNET page in www.Kele.com. For dual sensor (KGD-6-CONO2), S1 refers to carbon monoxide sensor and S2 refers to nitrogen dioxide sensor. KGD-BACNET’s network driver does not start up until a valid Kele detector is recognized and hence
objects/registers are not exposed until after successful registration with valid Kele detector. The following table list valid detector type for KGD-BACNET along with other detector details.
Detector | Sensor Type | Sensor Range | Sensor Resolution |
KGD-6-CO | 1 | 200ppm | 1ppm |
KGD-6-NO2 | 2 | 20.0ppm | 0.1ppm |
KGD-6-COMB | 3 | 50% LEL | 1% LEL |
KGD-6-AM | 4 | 100ppm | 1ppm |
KGD-6-H2S | 5 | 50ppm | 1ppm |
KGD-6-O2 | 8 | 25.0% v/v | 0.1% v/v |
KGD-6-CO2 | 10 | 5.00% v/v | 0.01% v/v |
KGD-6-CONO2 | 1 (CO) , 2 (NO2) | 200ppm (CO) 20.0ppm (NO2) | 1ppm (CO) 0.1ppm (NO2) |
Information related to detector/sensor such as sensor reading, sensor type, sensor resolution, and sensor range are accessible via Modbus, BACnet, Metasys and Siemens communication protocol.
NOTE: Value of Sensor reading object/register is not reliable when trouble object is set or sensor type is anything other than listed in table above. In such case other objects such as Sensor Type, No Signal, Calibration Overdue, Trouble, Warm Up etc. must be monitored to validate sensor reading and get current state of the detector.
NOTE: Due to limitation of Siemen FLN protocol, readings for CD-6H and CD-6MC might not be communicated correctly if FLN master interprets 16-bit values as signed integers. So, KGD-BACNET for use with CD-6H and CD-6MC is not recommended for Siemen FLN protocol if FLN master interprets 16-bit values as signed integer.
NOTE: Due to limitation of Siemens FLN protocol and variation in range and resolution of Kele detectors,
KGD-BACNET when used with CD-6G for Siemens FLN protocol will round readings for CD-6G to one decimal place instead of two decimal place readings displayed on CD-6G detector. Due to same reason, resolution for CD-6G will be displayed as 0.0 instead of 0.01.
In addition to this, KGD-BACNET also provides following additional information about KGD-BACNET and detector connected to KGD-BACNET. Last Sensor Type
It is the last sensor id detected by KGD-BACNET at last power on.
Cal Due Days
It represents the number of days until the detector connected indicates calibration overdue. Refer to product manual to verify if the detector used supports calibration period or not. Following table represents some possible values for this field.
Cal Due Days | Description |
65535 | Calibration Due feature is disabled. |
65534 | Unknown value (not transmitted by detector yet) |
65533 | Calibration Period feature not supported by detector |
31 | There are more than 30 days until calibration due |
1 – 30 | Indicates number of days left before calibration overdue |
0 | Calibration Overdue |
Until Cal Due
Like Cal Due Days it is also consists of information related to time left until the detector connected indicates calibration overdue. But, value represented is the intervals of 3 hours until calibration overdue.
Cal Due Days | Description |
255 | Calibration Due feature is disabled. |
254 | Unknown value (not transmitted by detector yet) |
253 | Calibration Period feature not supported by detector |
241 | There are more than 30 days until calibration due |
1 – 240 | Indicates number of days left before calibration overdue |
0 | Calibration Overdue |
No Signal
When there is no signal on the 4-20mA output of the detector connected to KGD-BACNET, the corresponding bit of Modbus register or corresponding object is set.
Cal Overdue
When the detector connected goes into calibration overdue, then the corresponding bit of Modbus register, or corresponding object is set. Please refer to the product manual to check if detector supports this feature and refer to the manual for detail on Calibration Overdue.
BRS485 Status
When the KGD-BACNET status is not zero, then it will set this object. Following are possible reasons for non-zero KGD-BACNET status.
- When calibration data cannot be loaded. This is related to factory operation and should not occur in the field.
- When incompatible/unknown detector is connected to KGD-BACNET.
Warm up
This is set during the first 60 seconds after power is applied to KGD-BACNET. Since objects are not exposed until successful registration by KGD-BACNET, this object might not appear for the first 30 seconds of power up.
Over Range
