  • Page 13: Battery Backup

    The battery rating (ampere-hour capacity) is dictated by the length of time power outages may last. A Model 2280A Controller requires approximately 2 ampere (peak) at 24 VDC. General Monitors recommends that a Lead-Acid type battery be used. This type of battery can be expected to last for several years with minimum maintenance.
  • Page 14: Analog Output Connection

    Model 2280A Analog Output Connection CAUTION: The Analog Output must either be used or jumpered. If not, the Model 2280A indicates a fault in the normal mode with the display reading “A0” and the Fault LED flashing. The two analog output terminals, AO (+) and AO (-), are located at the rear of the unit.
  • Page 15: Sensor Installation

    The presence of such materials in an area does not preclude the use of a sensor. The feasibility of using a sensor in such areas must be determined by an analysis of the specific factors in each application. Consult General Monitors before attempting any such installation.

  • Page 19: Alarm Wiring Connections

    Model 2280A Alarm Wiring Connections The Model 2280A can be configured to have individual alarm and fault relays for each channel, or have a common set of relays (that is, any alarm of fault occurring on any of the four channels will cause a relay on the channel one card to activate). The alarm relays may be operated as normally de-energized or normally energized, and latching or non-latching.
  • Page 20: Multiple Controller Operation

    Model 2280A CAUTION: Inductive loads, such as bells, buzzers, relays, contactors, solenoid valves, etc., connected to the high alarm, low alarm and fault alarm relays must be clamped down as shown in the diagrams below. Unclamped inductive loads can generate voltage spikes in excess of 1000 Volts.
