  • Page 7: Transmitter Board Assembly

    Transmitter Board The transmitter board assembly consists of the signal conditioning circuit, microprocessor, LED display and 4-20 mA output circuit. The transmitter board assembly is connected to the connection board via ribbon cable and secured onto the stand-off via two thumb screws. To remove the transmitter board simply move the thumb screws counter-clockwise and slowly pull the transmitter board away.

In Fault condition the 4-20mA output generated would be less than 1.0 mA. The sensor displays “FLt” when sensor in Fault. PT395 Series Detector...
  • Page 18: Calibration

    Once the calibration is initiated the alarm relays will be inhibited and the 4-20mA analog signal will be held at approximately 2mA to avoid any false alarm. High Fault Figure 6. Magnetic switch position to activate calibration Mode switch PT395 Series Detector...
