The alarms are user-configurable. Description The 1220 system is comprised of a System Chassis, Control Unit, Channel Modules, and Remote Sensors. Each System Chassis contain one Control Unit and up to eight Channel Modules. Each Channel Module monitors up to two remote sensors.
1 Introduction Model 1220 1.2.1 System Chassis (19” Rack) The System Chassis provides structural support and electrical intercon- nection for the Control Unit and Channel Modules (up to eight Channel Modules may be installed). These latter plug into the sockets of the system chassis.

1 Introduction Model 1220 • Failure codes and testpoints • Two selectable analog outputs (0-10VDC or negative ground 4-20mADC) • Extensive, automatic self-test diagnostic testing during operation • Compact and versatile design: Small footprint with accessible internal PCBs 1.2.4 Detector The detector is a low temperature, catalytic oxidation, diffusion type sensor.
Multi-Channel Combustible Monitor Operational Theory 2 Operational Theory Introduction The Model 1220 combustible gas analyzer is composed of four com- ponents: System Chassis Control Unit Channel Modules Combustible Sensors The System Chassis provides structural support and electrical inter- connection for a Control Unit and up to eight Channel Modules. Each Channel Module can monitor one or two sensors (dual-sensor option).
Page 12
The Control Unit is the power entry and distribution point. The 1220 system contains universal power supplies that operate on 100-240 VAC, 50/60Hz. The power switch on the Control Unit switches power for the entire system.
Multi-Channel Combustible Monitor Operational Theory 2 Channel Module The Model 1220 Combustible Gas Analyzer uses an Intel Microcon- troller with on-board RAM and ROM to control all signal processing, input/output, and display functions for the analyzer. The channel power is supplied from two separate universal power supply modules (100-240 VAC), designed to be compatible with most international power sources.

2 Operational Theory Model 1220 When exposed to a mixture containing gases and oxygen, the measur- ing bead coating allows the oxygen and combustibles to combine at its surface. The energy produced by this reaction heats the measuring bead. The rise in temperature changes the bead’s resistance and is related to the concentration of the combustible gas.

The System Chassis is designed for installation in a NON HAZARD- OUS Environment. 3.2.2 Power The model 1220 is designed to operate from 100/240VAC @ 50/60 Hz. Ventilation must be provided to dissipate heat generated within the control unit. Natural convection is sufficient to cool 16 Channel Modules.

3 Installation Model 1220 Figure 3-2 Maximum Loop Resistance for Sensor Connection The terminals marked "Ext. Audible Alarm" provide an external signal that is activated whenever the audible alarm is activated. By setting jumpers on the Control Unit PCB (see section 3.3), the external signal can be either (1) a contact closure, or (2) a powerline level signal.

The internal audible alarm may be disabled by removing JP17. WARNING: It is not recommended to remove JP17 unless there is an external audible alarm in use. With the jumper removed, the audible alarm will not warn personnel about alarm conditions. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
3 Installation Model 1220 3.4 Channel Modules Channel Modules may be removed by first unscrewing the top (retain- ing) screw and then unscrewing the bottom (jack) screw. As the jack screw is backed out, it will pull the module from its socket. When the jack screw is free, the module may be slid out by pulling on the two screws.
Installation 3 3.4.3 Adding or Removing the Second Sensor PCB The model 1220 channel module may be configured for operation with either one or two combustible sensors. Each sensor's power supply resides on a sensor PCB. The location of the two sensor PCBs is shown in Figure 3-4.
3 Installation Model 1220 The Channel Module can provide one of three forms of output. The output appears at terminal 16 and 17 of the terminal strip, and is selected by jumper setting as in the following table: 3.5 Combustible Sensors The sensors should be mounted with their long axis vertical and the sensing surface downward.
