DE-4000 Configurable Safety Shutdown and Control System Form DE-4000 II 1-19 This manual contains information on installing, wiring, and connecting to a DE-4000 Safety Shutdown and Control System in a hazardous or non-hazardous area. This manual supplements the DE-4000 Safety Shutdown and Control System Operation and Configu-...
Power must be from a Class 2 power source with transient protection or from a 24-volt battery system. b) The power to the DE-4000 System must be installed in accordance with the requirements of the National Electrical Code (US) and the Canadian Electrical Code (Canada) c) Over-current power protection is required for the DE-4000 System.
System Configuration files can be created via a laptop or the HMI Display Module, saved and downloaded, as well as uploaded, to other DE-4000 Systems. This al- lows for configuration portability for users operating several similar systems.
Controller Module and Terminal Module: –40°C to +85°C (–40°F to +185°F) HMI Display Module: –30°C to +80°C (–22°F to +176°F). 2.12 The DE-4000 System is CSA- and UL-certified for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups C and D hazardous locations.
The Controller Module is the hub of the system. It is the main controller interfacing with up to five Terminal Modules, the HMI Display Module, and other systems. The scalable and expandable nature of the DE-4000 allows it to be used on the simplest safety-shutdown-oriented applications, on mid-range applications with minimal or...
0 to 5VDC or 0 to 25mA TERMINAL MODULE I/O POINT IDENTIFICATION Up to five Terminal Boards can be used in a DE-4000 System. The system uses a simple Terminal Module/Channel number assignment method that identifies the Terminal Module and I/O point.

K type thermocouples the red insulation color is (-), the other color is the (+). INPUTS – PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS The pressure transducers, Altronic P/N 691201-x and P/N 691204-x, are pack- aged in a rugged sealed case with an NPT pressure port, a corrosion resistant media cavity, and a Packard Electric Metri-Pack connector.

200 volts max. The RPMx- terminals are common to DC-. Connect the speed input to the ter- minals marked RPMx+ and RPMx-. Altronic magnetic pickups or Hall effect pickups are typical sources for RPM measurement.

The Hardware Safety Connection on the Terminal Module, when connected to the Controller Module, acts as an independent shutdown signal from any terminal module to the Controller Module. The DE-4000 System relies heavily on Commu- nications over Ethernet for proper operation. If communications are interrupted, the Hardware Safety Connection provides the system a parallel path for shutdown.
MOUNTING When the DE-4000 System is installed in a Class I, Division 2 hazardous area, NOTE: Avoid mounting the HMI it must be mounted in a suitable enclosure. Display Module with the LCD display facing direct sunlight. The display HMI DISPLAY MODULE...
POWER WIRING of 1mm (.04") diameter or 1.2 mm The DE-4000 System uses distributed wiring. Each module has its own power (.047") diameter for troubleshooting input terminals. Using a fuse block in series with the source power, connect purposes.

E. If it becomes necessary to check sensor switch to panel wiring with an ohmmeter or other checker, first DISCONNECT the plug-in terminal strips from the Terminal Module. Applying voltage to the DE-4000 System through the sensor leads may damage the device. The area should be tested as non-hazardous before such testing commences.

RS485 1 port is used for Modbus slave data RS485 2 is used for Modbus master data. The DE-4000 System can communicate to other instruments, PC’s or PLC’s via the two serial RS-485 communication wires. Use a two-conductor shielded cable of fine gauge stranded wire and connect the wires to the terminals marked RS-485A, RS-485B, and shield.
Sensor wires must be run in separate conduits and junction boxes from high voltage wires such as ignition, fuel valve, and other high voltage wiring. The power for the DE-4000 System must be from a Class 2 power source with transient protection or from a 24-volt battery system.
For further information, please refer to the document How to Establish an Ether- net Connection to a PLC+ Module on the Altronic website www.altronic-llc.com. A web browser on the laptop PC is used to communicate to the DE-4000 System. Preferred browsers are Google Chrome and Firefox.
