M4200 - User manual Function The Alarm Monitor M4200 provides the possibility of monitoring 8 individual processes. All inputs will accept any combination of NO or NC contacts. It is possible to programme each input, e.g. to activate the siren relay, the two alarm relays or the four open collector outputs.
M4200 - User manual Installation instructions This section contains information about how to install the alarm monitor. Single unit Figure 2 shows the default connection of the input and output terminals on the alarm monitor. Input terminals 1 - 8 are connected to +REF OUT (positive supply) via potential free contacts.
M4200 - User manual Multiple units Figure 3 shows the default connection of the input and output terminals on two M4200 units. Input terminals 1 - 8 are connected to +REF OUT (positive supply) on one of the units via potential free contacts.
M4200 - User manual Relay outputs The alarm monitor has 3 output relays; all of them can be activated by any of the 8 alarm inputs. The relays can work as de-energized or energized, when the power is on the alarm monitor. The alarm monitor is delivered with all output relays operating in normally de-energized mode.
M4200 - User manual Normally energized Figure 5 shows the connection of the output terminals when the relay is programmed to be normally energized. It is possible to programme each of the output relays to operate individually as normally energized. This means that the relay changes position from terminal 33 to terminal 35 (siren relay) when the power is switched on.
M4200 - User manual Load capacity The output relays are able to manage any kind of resistive load. The load capacity depends on whether AC or DC voltage is connected to the relay. Below is listed the maximum load capacity for AC and DC voltage respectively: Max.
M4200 - User manual Open collector outputs The alarm monitor has 4 open collector outputs; all of them can be activated by any of the 8 alarm inputs. These outputs are able to work as energized or de- energized, similar to the output relays. This section contains information about the 2 principles and how to use them.
M4200 - User manual NC input contacts IMPORTANT: It is only recommended to use the example below if the alarm monitor is still in factory default mode. If there is any possibility that the alarm monitor has been programmed previously, please refer to the section Factory default - dip switches on page 15.
M4200 - User manual Cable monitoring Cable monitoring provides extra security to the alarm system. Cable faults are indicated with short flashing pulses on the corresponding alarm channels. Cable fault indications will be overridden by activation of input alarms and indicated with normal alarm flash or steady light indication.
M4200 - User manual Input reference IMPORTANT: It is only recommended to use the programming example below if the alarm monitor is still in factory default mode. If there is any possibility that the alarm monitor has been programmed before, please refer to the section Factory default - dip switches on page 15.
ANSI terminal. When using a standard ANSI compatible terminal application, the configuration is done through a PC, via the special RS232 cable, which is delivered with the M4200 unit. This section only contains information about programming by dip switches.
Factory default - dip switches Figure 11 shows how all the dip switches are set, when the alarm monitor leaves the SELCO factory. Before starting any programming session on the alarm monitor, it is recommended to set all dip switches as shown in Figure 11.
M4200 - User manual Set button The set button is positioned on the rear of the alarm monitor, below the dip switches. This push button is used for accept of rotary and dip switch settings. Set button is related to the rotary switch, which means that all dip switch settings made, in the selected position of the rotary switch, will be saved when the set button is pushed.
M4200 - User manual Dip switch - programming This section lists all possible settings that can be done by the switches on the rear of the alarm monitor. Before starting the programming session please read the previous section Dip switches - operational principle on page 15.
