PT4 MONITOR & CONTROL SYSTEM

Operation Eight channel microprocessor based monitor and controller. Two channels provided in the base unit. Plug-in PCB cards for each additional channel. Programmed instruction-set includes channel set-up; setting high & low alarm limits for each channel and common alarm; auto-calibration of oxygen channels; and numerous units of measurement such as: mg/l, %Sat, °C/°F, pH, ppt, mmHg. Up to 8 digital inputs (DI) activate common alarm; DI can be configured to display a variety of alarm messages such as "low level", "high level", "no power", "no flow", "low O2 pressure".
Data Logging & PC Connectivity Communication package enables RS232 or RS485 connection to a PC for viewing the displayed values and for downloading data from the PT4's internal memory. Data transmission is ASCII comma seperated (CsV) format. Data logging capability, for all active channels, with selectable log interval (3 sec. to 18hrs). Data stored in internal (32K) non-volatile memory. Logging capacity depends on configuration. From 4000 single channel time-stamped recordings to 320 recordings for all 8 channels including ave., max., min values per recording. selectable averaging window, from 2 seconds to half log interval.
User Interface    
Display 4 line X 20 Character LCD with 9 mm high characters with back light.
Indicators Instrument status light (bi-color). 8 alarm lights, one for each channel, common alarm light
Audible Alarm Audible alarm: Built-in buzzer sounds when common alarm is active.
Keypad 1 x 5 tactile keypad includes On/Off switch.
Inputs Up to eight, 2-wire terminals for direct connection of oxygen and temperature probes (0-250 mV) or from 4-20 mA transmitters. Each channel galvanically isolated. Measured with 15-bit resolution. Up to eight digital inputs.
Outputs/Relays (optional)    
4-20 mA output Scalable and invertible; max load 500 ohms; non-isolated. 0.08 mA resolution.
Relays Up to 10 relays, 1 per channel SPDT contacts, 8amp 30V DC/ 10 amp 250 V AC resistiveload, and 2 common alarm DPDT contacts, 10amp 30V DC/250 V AC resistive load. Relays can be pre-wired energised 12V DC or as dry contacts. User selectable Fail Safe - normally. Open (NO)/NC modes and common alarm relay can be cancelable or not. Alarm and corresponding relay is active if the channel value is greater than or less than user selectable values for at least the selected delay time (0-999 minutes). Relays available separately, in bank of 4 plus common alarm, bank of 5, or bank of 8 with 2 common alarm relays.
Power 12V DC (-1 +2)
