Bacharach Introduces MVR-SC Controller for Networking VRF Leak Detectors

Bacharach, a leading provider of HVAC-R gas instrumentation and monitoring solutions, today introduced the new MVR-SC controller designed to seamlessly pair with MVR-300 refrigerant monitors to provide real-time status of refrigerant leaks throughout a facility.

The key functions of the MVR-SC include:

• Centralized alarming for MVR-300 VRF leak detectors
• Network set-up and MVR-300 Modbus ID assignment
• System monitoring
• Seamless integration with MVR-300

The MVR-SC eliminates the need to integrate VRF leak detection into a BAS controller and the related custom programming expense. By implementing a hybrid Ethernet serial network the MVR-SC simplifies the Modbus integration, provides fast response for fault detection and troubleshooting and is quickly deployed in any size facility.

The MVR-SC monitors up to 100 MVR-300 devices and has an integrated audible alarm. The MVR-SC has an intuitive user interface built on a color, touchscreen display.

VRF systems are being increasingly deployed in multi-tenant building such as hotel, dormitories, assisted living facilities, and offices. The Bacharach VRF leak detection system, which includes the MVR-300 and MVR-SC, improves occupant safety in the case of a VRF system leak.
