SK contact V V Power supply Power supply Relay (Low voltage relay) RM−592 −How to think alarm contacts against inductive load− The spec for alarm contact of RM-592 is described by the conditions of resistance load. When use the inductive load for alarm contacts, the very high reverse electromotive voltage may be generated and the following trouble tends to be produced. ・Contact part of relay is melted adhesively and the contacts can not work. ・High voltage is put inside of indicator/alarm unit and then, electrical parts may be damaged. ・As it is big noise, the trouble action may be taken by the reckless drive of CPU. ・Irrespective of inductive load, there is the possibility of unforeseeable noise instruction for contact. Above trouble may be generated. 13 ...
CAUTION ・The inductive load shall not be used in principle (Do not use fluorescent lamp). ・When use the inductive load, make the contact amplification outside, but the outside relay coil belong, use the relay driven by the low voltage (within AC100V) and it is protected by an appropriate surge killer. * As the inductive load, there are following samples. ・Revolving light * External relay * Buzzer * Siren * Fan * Fluorescent lamp *Motor etc. ...

6.KINDS OF ALARM AND PERFORMANCE 6−1.Kinds of alarm There are two kinds of alarms such as gas alarm and trouble alarm. ・Gas alarm:When detection gas reaches preset alarm level or exceeds it, this starts alarm. 《Latched mode→Self reset after reset operation.》 * NOTE Alarm levels are adjusted at 1/3 (1st alarm) and 2/3 (2nd alarm) of full scale. To prevent wrong operation, this unit provides alarm delayed circuit for 2 seconds. ・Trouble alarm:Abnormal condition in this unit is detected and gives a trouble alarm. Except system trouble 「E-00」, it is non-latched mode. When return to normal from trouble condition, it starts again from the action of initial clear after power on see section 「9. TREATMENT AT ABNORMAL CASE」. 6−2.Gas alarm 6−2−1.Gas alarm action (1)Display ①Gas concentration When exceeds detection range (Over scale), LED shows “∩∩∩∩”. ②Power light (Power:Green) It keeps steady light. ③Alarm light (AL1:Orange), (AL2:Red) There are two alarm levels. ...
6−2−2.Counteraction at gas alarm The counteraction at gas alarm shall follow to the client rule and immediate reaction shall be required. Generally, the following action is taken. ①Confirmation of indication value. * NOTE Instantaneous gas leak may get lower at confirmation time. Except gas alarm, it gets alarm condition temporarily by noise or any other accidental conditions. ②Based on gas alarm control concentration, it keeps the safety by keeping away people from the monitoring area. ③When gas concentration display is continued, close the gas valve and confirm that gas concentration gets lower enough. ④Suppose that the leak gas is to remain and provide yourself with protection attire and tool away from danger, go to the leak site and check the gas residual condition by portable gas detector. ⑤After checking that there is no danger, the treatment for gas leak shall be taken. 6−2−3.Alarm other than gas detection t may respond to interference gas For interference gases, contact the nearest agent or RIKEN KEIKI. t may be caused by drifting due to the change of long time elapsed sensor Check the reading by daily check and make calibration through authorized service agent whenever necessary. t may be caused by the noise generated from spherical machine Revision of installation location, wirings and the addition etc. of noise measure parts between instrument and detector shall be required. This specific measures shall differ from the condition of each site. It may receive a temporarily noise such as by thunder lightning etc. ...

10.DEFINITION OF WORD Calibration Find relationship of the readings, display values or set-points with the actual values by using the calibration gas. Maintenance mode When maintenance is performed on the detector, the alarm contact is disconnected, and a signal to indicate the maintenance mode status is sent out to the external output signal. As a result, maintenance can be performed on a single unit of the detector. Press MODE switch for 3 seconds, and the maintenance mode starts. nitial clear The reading is unstable for seconds after the power is turned on. To prevent malfunctions for that period, the alarm contact is deactivated. In addition, a signal to indicate the initial clear status is sent out to the external output. Alarm delay time A function which temporarily suspends activation to prevent a false alarm caused by noise from its outside. 32 ...
