Page 31: Relay Output Wiring
LC1000-A INSTRUCTION MANUAL WIRING 5. The alarm console is separated into two wiring sections, for each printed circuit board, by an aluminum cover. The wiring and terminal block on the left side are intrinsically safe and are physically separated from the AC power wiring on the right side. This separation must be maintained.
Page 32 LC1000-A INSTRUCTION MANUAL WIRING CAUTION Sensor wires are to be routed through their designated conduit openings and connected ONLY to their designated input terminals of the INTRINSIC SAFETY compartment. DO NOT allow sensor wires to cross over into the non-intrinsically safe section.
Page 33 LC1000-A INSTRUCTION MANUAL WIRING CAUTION Relay output terminals are located on the NON-INTRINSICALLY SAFE side of the console. ALL wiring to these terminals MUST enter through the designated conduit opening. Refer to FIGURE 1-4. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY LOSS AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
Page 34: Sensor Map/System Setup
LC1000-A INSTRUCTION MANUAL WIRING 3.3 SENSOR MAP/SYSTEM SETUP The sensor map/system setup below should be completed by the electrical installer as each sensor and control output function is wired to the LC1000-A system. This will provide the equipment operator a means of identifying each field device for proper system setup and use. The SENSOR MAP/SYSTEM SETUP should be adhered to or kept near the LC1000-A console.
Page 35: Installation As A Remote Alarm Panel
A single pair of wires per signal would connect the main system via the dry contact output to the LC1000-A on the Switch input. All Pneumercator systems equipped with relay outputs are considered dry contact, or outputs without power. Other equipment manufacturers may use powered relay outputs. Consult the system manufacturer to determine if the system is equipped with outputs that are dry contact that can be used to represent the desired alarm condition.
Page 36: Operation
LC1000-A INSTRUCTION MANUAL OPERATION SECTION 4 OPERATION 4.1 GENERAL The LC1000-A Alarm system provides three (3) functions when a field sensor experiences an alarm condition: A light blinks, a horn annunciates and a relay changes state. The horn may be silenced by pressing the RESET button, and the light will stay on without blinking and the relay will remain in the alarm state as long as the field sensor remains in the alarm condition, e.g., high liquid level.
