    A single pair of wires per signal would connect the main system via the dry contact output to the LC1000 on the Switch input. All Pneumercator systems equipped with relay outputs are considered dry contact, or outputs without power. Other equipment manufacturers may use powered relay outputs. Consult the system manufacturer to determine if the system is equipped with outputs that are dry contact that can be used to represent the desired alarm condition.

  • Page 28: Operation

    LC1000 INSTRUCTION MANUAL OPERATION SECTION 4 OPERATION 4.1 GENERAL The LC1000 Alarm system provides three (3) functions when a field sensor experiences an alarm condition: A light comes on, a horn annunciates and a relay changes state. The horn may be silenced by pressing the RESET button, but the light will stay on and the relay will remain in the alarm state as long as the field sensor remains in the alarm condition, e.g., high liquid level.

  • Page 29: Troubleshooting

    LC1000 INSTRUCTION MANUAL TROUBLESHOOTING SECTION 5 TROUBLESHOOTING 5.1 GENERAL The On/Off switching control operation of the LC1000 makes it simple to test and troubleshoot the system. Pressing the TEST button performs a functional test of the horn, all indicator lights and all relay contacts.

  • Page 30: Maintenance/Testing

    LC1000 INSTRUCTION MANUAL MAINTENANCE SECTION 6 MAINTENANCE/TESTING 6.1 CONSOLE The operation of the LC1000 lights, horn, and relays can be verified by holding down the TEST button. The TEST button causes all alarm conditions for the system to go to the alarm state. For this reason, it is best to do this with at least one alarm condition in the normal state otherwise your horn will not activate since there are no new alarm conditions detected.
