  • Page 11: Input Module

    A relay module is used to activate external warning devices (alarms, ventilators or other safety equipment) when alarm or fault conditions are sensed at the Regard 3900 series controller. The module has eight volt-free single-pole changeover relays of which one is a non-configurable system-fault relay (RL1) and seven are configurable relays (RL2 to RL8).

  • Page 12: Output Module

    If the inhibit switch is set to position 1 the output signals freeze at their current level. When the inhibit switch is returned position 0 the output signals return to the normal level. Output module fault If the output module has a fault, the output signal on all channels is 1 mA (± 0.3 mA). Regard 3900 Series...

    Cable screen earthing plate An earthing plate is available from Dräger to earth cable screen inside the panel of the Regard 3900 and 3920. When used, connect the plate to an external low-impedance earth using braided cable with a large cross-section. Note that the earthing plate is not required for the controller to meet the EMC directive.

    Installing control modules WARNING Output modules are not included in the scope of the Regard 3900 ATEX EC-type examination. When an output module is fitted, the controller cannot be used for control of countermeasures against risk of explosion. The controller can have up to six control modules using the combinations detailed in Section 5.6.1. When fitting control modules observe the following: ●...
  • Page 17 Input modules Place a link on the relevant “Module Nr” terminals on the input module to determine the channel numbers in the Regard 3900 system. When numbering the input module observe the following: ● Each input module within the controller must have a different module number (1 to 4).
  • Page 18 Installation and set up Relay modules Place a link on the relevant “Relays” terminals on the relay module to determine the relay numbers in the Regard 3900 system. When numbering the relay module observe the following: ● If there is only one relay module fitted, place the link on position 1–8.
  • Page 19 The display board, relay modules and output modules do not require a separate DC supply. Note: For Regard 3910 non-standard cable lengths can be supplied by Dräger. The maximum permitted length of the ribbon cable is 2 metres (6.6 feet). 3816 Regard 3900 Series...
