Murphy LCDT Selectronic Tattletale System LCDT-8535B Specifications

LCDT Selectronic
Description
The LCDT Selectronic Tattletale system is a compact fault
annunciator with an electronic alarm/shutdown control system. It was
designed to protect engine-driven or motor-driven compressors
and pumps. The annunciator indicates the sensor, and hence the
parameter, that causes an alarm or shutdown. In addition, a
means is provided for testing the operation of each sensor without
initiating an alarm or shutdown. Employing a liquid crystal display,
the LCDT system gives a digital reading of the tripped sensor and
the lockout timer countdown.
As the heart of the system, the basic annunciator component has
two variations: the Model LCDT-NO, which accommodates normally
open sensors, and the Model LCDT-NC, which accommodates
normally closed sensors. These units are enclosed in an aluminum
box having a brush finish. The LCDT system accommodates 47
sensor inputs, 15 of which may be locked out during start-up by the
start/run timer delay.
A separate power supply is provided with the model LCDT
instrument. Power may be supplied by CD ignition, a 120 VAC
line, or by 12 or 24 VDC battery.
Intended for use with all Swichgage instruments without
"OS" option.
Features
■ System alarm or shutdown for up to 47 sensors.
■
Timed start-up overrride for up to 15 sensors.
■
Liquid Crystal Display of tripped sensors and the lockout timer
countdown.
■
Test timer for shutdown override during sensor test.
■
Intrinsically safe annunciator unit; Class I, Division 1, Group D
Hazardous Locations.
■ Explosion-proof power supply.
■ A battery maintains the electronics while the engine is
not running.
■ Optional 3-second time delay allows a fuel valve to close
before grounding the ignition.

Specifications

Power: Supplied by CD ignition of an engine, 120 VAC line, or
by 12 or 24 VDC battery.
Power Inputs (Operating Voltage):
LCDT-PS-CD (R)-P: 90-250 VDC, CD ignition, positive ground.
LCDT-PS-CD-N: 90-250 VDC CD ignition, negative ground.
LCDT-PS-120/24/12: 120 VAC (6 VA), 24 VDC (1 watt),
12 VDC (0.5 watts).
Sensor Inputs: Accepts up to 47 sensors (NC version only 45) via
a ribbon cable. The LCDT system was designed to be used with
sensor switches having normally open or normally closed
contacts such as Murphy Swichgage instrument. NOTE: An
approved isolation barrier such as a thermocouple type barrier,
must be used between sensor switch and input terminals if sensor
outputs come from any energy storing device such as a relay or
transistor.
