Page 9: Adaptor Pcb
This PCB has 16 relay SPCO outputs, and is fitted under the Adaptor Board. All of the relays are configurable to operate for any level of alarm on any of the eight channels. The TQ8000 Touch provides a ‘Latched’ or ‘Non-Latched’ and ‘normally On’ or ‘Normally Off’ configuration for individual relays. -
Page 10: Remote Relay Board (If Fitted)
TQ Environmental Limited 2.5 Remote Relay Board (if fitted) This PCB is available with 16 relay SPCO outputs. It may be fitted within the TQ8000 Touch enclosure or within an enclosure separate from the rest of the TQ8000 Touch unit. - Page 11 TQ Environmental Limited Figure 3 Page 11 of 43 17654PM Issue: 3 December 2022...

Page 12: Operation
When the TQ8000 Touch is first powered on the system starts loading EEPROM configuration data and then enters ‘Start-up’ mode. It will remain in this mode for 120 seconds to enable the sensors to stabilise. During the start-up mode the TQ8000 Touch will not generate any alarms or activate any relays. -

‘falling’ alarms and can be configured in any combination for each channels. In a low alarm condition (alarm level 1), the TQ8000 Touch display will show the alarm status on the respective channel that is in alarm as well as an alarm condition in the System Status field on the right-hand side of the display. - Page 14 TQ Environmental Limited Figure 6 In a High alarm condition (alarm level 2), the TQ8000 Touch display will show the alarm status on the respective channel that is in alarm as well as an alarm condition in the System Status field on the right-hand side of the display. The concentration value is shown inside the concentration box and the colour will change to Orange to indicate a HI Alarm.
- Page 15 TQ Environmental Limited Figure 7 In a High High alarm condition (alarm level 3), the TQ8000 Touch display will show the alarm status on the respective channel that is in alarm as well as an alarm condition in the System Status field on the right-hand side of the display. The concentration value is shown inside the concentration box and the colour will change to Red to indicate a HIHI Alarm.
