1.  Introduction 

The Bacharach HGM-MZ to Johnson Metasys N2 Communications Adapter enables an HGM-MZ Refrigerant 

Monitor to communicate with a Metasys building management system.  The following may be viewed on 

Metasys operator stations. 

 

Zone PPM readings 

 

Flow status 

 

Refrigerant selections 

 

HGM internal health. 

 

In addition, each HGM zone supports three levels of alarming through Metasys. 

 

Leak 

 

Spill 

 

Evacuate 

 

Each alarm threshold can be set through Metasys. 

 

The N2 Communications Adapter can be used in conjunction with the MZ-RD  Remote  Display  if  desired.  

Wiring details and operational limitations when using the MZ-RD are discussed below. 

 

 

CAUTION:  

The adapter is powered from the 120/240V Universal Power Supply connection on 

the HGM main board.  120/240V is present on the lower left corner of this adapter within the 

area shown on the board silkscreen.  

Keep fingers away from this area when HGM is powered.

 

 

 

2.  Adapter Installation Inside HGM-MZ 

The communications adapter board will normally be installed in the HGM-MZ at the factory.  It can, however, 

be field installed by following the instructions below. 

 

The following installation materials are needed for field installation of the adapter: 

 

Qty (5)  

6-32 x ¼” screws (standard finish)
