For Type Z and Ex pz systems, power to the pressurized enclosure may remain on if pressure goes below the minimum allowed pressure, but an audible and/or visual alarm must be generated to notify the operator of a problem.
5500 S P erieS anual rograMMing 4.6. Shutoff Delay Timer for K1 The shutoff delay timer is used in the operation mode and allows K1 to remain on for the duration of this setting when enclosure pressure drops below the minimum setting of P1.
5500 S P erieS anual rograMMing 4.7. Number of PT100 Temperature Sensors Used The 5500 control unit allows up to two 2-wire PT100s to be connected to the unit for monitoring and controlling temperatures in the pressurized enclosure. Each sensor can be located up to 3 m from the control unit input.
