Chapter 1 – Overview 1.1 Introduction DOD Technologies’ EC20x Gas Detector Cabinet is designed to house a series of single-point electrochemical gas detectors – see specifications for compatibility. While creating a centralized hub, the EC20x is fully customizable from the factory. This transforms a seemingly ordinary cabinet into a robust toxic gas monitoring system (TGMS) with improved transport time and extractive detection from distances up to 600 feet.
EC20x Cabinet Operating Manual Chapter 3 – Maintenance Alarms Maintenance alarms indicate that a pump or power supply has failed. The system will continue to operate utilizing the redundant/backup unit. However, maintenance is recommended as soon as possible to return the system to standard operation.
EC20x Cabinet Operating Manual Figure 3.1.1 – View of Form C Relays for maintenance alarms 3.2 Normal Operation of Form C Relays for Maintenance Alarms 3.2.1 Vacuum Pump PUMP1FAIL Form C Relay The Form C relay LED indicator is OFF under normal operation. Meaning the main vacuum pump is running the system.
EC20x Cabinet Operating Manual Figure 3.2.1.1 3.2.2 Vacuum Pump PUMP3FAIL Form C Relay The Form C Relay LED indicator is OFF under normal operation. This indicates the primary vacuum pump is running the system. The relay is under the NC (normally closed contact position). Also note the Latching relay PUMP 3 RED LED is ON.
EC20x Cabinet Operating Manual Figure 3.2.2.1 3.2.3 Power Supply Maintenance Alarm P/S 1 FAIL The Form C Relay LED indicator is ON under normal operation. This indicates the main power supply is running the system. The relay is under the NO (normally open contact position). Also note the redundancy module LED1 and P/S 1 DC OK green LEDs are ON.
EC20x Cabinet Operating Manual If the system is running with the Redundant/Backup pump the Form C Relay LED indicator is OFF under the maintenance alarm condition. This indicates the main power supply is running the system. The relay is under the NC (normally closed contact position). Also note the redundancy module LED1 and P/S 1 DC OK green LEDs are OFF.
