Easy to install and commission, the system delivers exceptional cost-effective protection for a wide range of industrial applications and is available with an internal 24V dc power supply.
It accepts 4-20mA inputs from a wide variety of detector types and measurement ranges and can also monitor contact input devices such as optical flame detectors or smoke detectors.
Four versions accommodate 4, 12, 24 or 36 channels, each with selectable high and low level alarm setpoint levels, that are automatically matched to the selected detector type and range.
An optional flame detector channel designator is selectable.
As well as a faceplate display, all alarm or fault events are time and date-stamped and stored in non-volatile memory to aid trouble-shooting.
Standard common alarm logic is provided for fault conditions and horn and strobe outputs as well as high/low setpoints.
A stacked input/output module design supports up to four I/O modules in a single unit.
The rugged NEMA 4X/IP66 fibreglass enclosure suits non-hazardous indoor or outdoor installation.
It has a transparent cover that opens for easy access and a DIN rail-mounted terminal strip to accommodate all power, detector input and output field wiring connections.
