Controller unit
Used for detecting and warning of hazardous gas
concentrations in industrial refrigeration
The gas detection Controller Unit is used for a
centralized monitoring and warning of
hazardous gas concentrations. The input
signals for the controller are collected from the
local gas detection units of the types Basic,
Premium and Heavy Duty via RS485 Fieldbus or
Analog communication. In total 96 gas
detection sensors can be handled via Fieldbus
+ 4 via Analog directly on the controller (+28
additional possible if expansion modules
added).
The Controller Unit comes with 4 alarm relays
available for external looped alarm devices.
Additional relays and sensor wiring loops is
possible by adding Expansion modules to the
controller.
Each local gas detection unit is assigned a
unique address in the Controller and by
continuous communication with the individual
GDU’s the Controller reacts on alarm signals
from the local GDU. The parameter setting and
the actual state of each local GDU can be read
in the Controller display.
