The C-22G-5A is a Belimo communication module for the 22G gas monitor system. It aggregates data from CAN bus–networked gas monitors and provides centralized control and BMS connectivity. This variant adds one SPDT relay, two configurable analog outputs (2-10 V or 4-20 mA), and BACnet MS/TP for native BMS integration. All 22G communication modules wire via a daisy chain, support standalone operation and networking of up to 32 devices, and carry a 5-year warranty.
Pairs with any Belimo 22G gas monitor on the CAN bus, and is especially useful with the CAN-bus-only monitors that rely on a downstream module for relay, analog, or BACnet output: 22G02-5C, 22G14-5C, 22G0214-5C, 22G15-5C6, 22G21-5C. Full 22G monitor range: 22G02-5A, 22G02-5B, 22G02-5C, 22G14-5A, 22G14-5B, 22G14-5C, 22G0214-5A, 22G0214-5B, 22G0214-5C, 22G15-5A3, 22G15-5A5, 22G15-5B3, 22G15-5B5, 22G15-5B6, 22G15-5C6, 22G21-5C.
Centralized control of multi-monitor installations — parking structures, mechanical rooms, and refrigeration plants where alarm relays, analog trending, or BACnet reporting are consolidated at one location rather than wired at each monitor.
Key Features
Combines one SPDT relay for direct fan/damper activation, two jumper-selectable analog outputs (2-10 V or 4-20 mA) for BAS trending, and BACnet MS/TP for native BMS integration in a single centralized module.
Aggregates data from up to 32 daisy-chained 22G monitors on a single CAN bus segment, reducing field wiring across multi-zone installations.
Backlit LCD shows gas type, live concentration, and alarm-level status for commissioning and service without connecting to the BAS.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a communication module do?
It collects gas concentration and alarm data from 22G monitors over the CAN bus and centralizes the outputs — relays for fan/damper control, analog signals for BAS trending, and/or BACnet MS/TP for BMS integration — at one location instead of at each monitor.
Which monitors is the C-22G-5A compatible with?
Any Belimo 22G gas monitor networked on the CAN bus. It is most valuable alongside the CAN-bus-only "-5C" monitors (e.g. 22G02-5C, 22G14-5C, 22G0214-5C), which depend on a module like this for relay, analog, or BACnet output.
How are modules and monitors wired together?
All 22G devices daisy-chain on a single CAN bus segment — up to 32 devices — using 22-24 AWG twisted-pair shielded cable. Termination resistors are required at the bus endpoints.
