La centrale di rivelazione gas PL4+, nella configurazione
base, può gestire fino a quattro rivelatori con uscita
proporzionale 4-20mA, espandibili a otto con l’aggiunta di
un modulo opzionale. E’ possibile configurare ogni singolo
ingresso impostando sia il tipo di rivelatore, sia il campo di
misura, sia i valori delle soglie d’intervento degli allarmi. La
programmazione delle funzioni è eettuata con il semplice
uso dei tasti presenti sul frontale della centrale.
Sono disponibili 5 uscite re, di cui tre associate alle soglie
di intervento (AL 1, AL 2, AL 3), una al guasto (FLT) e una è
ausiliaria (AUX) che può essere associata ad uno dei tre stati
di allarme o al guasto. Con l’aggiunta del modulo opzionale
di espansione (STPL4/ESP), oltre all’aggiunta di quattro zone
supplementari, sono implementate anche 16 uscite a O/C in
sicurezza negativa, associate ad AL 2 - AL 3 per tutte le otto
zone. Le 16 uscite O/C sono trasformabili in uscite relè tramite
modulo STG/16REL.
The PL4+ gas control panel can manage 4 analogue 4-20mA
gas detectors and can be expanded to 8 by using an optional
4-zone expansion module, easily connectable directly in the
control unit. Any single input configuration requires setting
the type of detector being used, the measuring range and the
alarm thresholds. Functions programming is easily performed
through the push buttons on the front panel. The control panel
is equipped with 5 relays and precisely, one for each alarm
threshold (AL1, AL2, AL3), one for fault (FLT) and an auxiliary
one (AUX) that can be associated to any of the alarm status
or fault. By adding the optional 4-zone expansion module
(STPL4/ESP), the panel gets 4 additional inputs and 16 Open-
Collector outputs (negative safety) that can be associated to
AL2 – AL3 alarms of each of the 8 inputs. The 16 O/C outputs
can be improved in relay outputs by the STG/16REL card.

Do you have a question about the Halma SENSITRON PL4+ and is the answer not in the manual?

Overview

The PL4+ is a central control unit designed for gas detection and fire alarm systems, capable of managing a wide range of safety functions. This device is highly versatile, supporting configurations from 4 to 20 zones, making it suitable for various industrial and commercial applications. Its modular design allows for easy expansion, enabling users to customize the system to meet specific needs.

Function Description

The PL4+ serves as the central hub for gas detection and fire alarm systems. It continuously monitors up to 20 zones for gas leaks or fire conditions. The system is equipped with 5 relays, each assigned to a specific alarm threshold (AL1, AL2, AL3, one for fault (FLT), and an auxiliary one (AUX)). These relays activate based on the alarm status or fault, providing immediate notification and control over connected safety devices.

The device features a user-friendly interface with a front panel that includes buttons for navigation and control. The programming is entirely performed through these push buttons, allowing for easy setup and configuration without the need for external tools. The system supports various types of detectors, including catalytic, electrochemical, and infrared sensors, ensuring comprehensive coverage for different gas types.

The PL4+ also incorporates a self-diagnosis function, continuously monitoring its internal components for faults. In case of a malfunction, the system triggers a fault alarm (FLT) and displays an error message on the front panel, alerting users to potential issues. This feature enhances the reliability and safety of the system by ensuring that any internal problems are promptly identified.

Important Technical Specifications

  • Zones: 4 to 20 zones, expandable through additional modules.
  • Relays: 5 relays (AL1, AL2, AL3, FLT, AUX) for alarm and fault management.
  • Power Supply: 12V battery, ensuring continuous operation even during power outages.
  • Inputs: Supports various detector types, including catalytic, electrochemical, and infrared.
  • Outputs: Provides outputs for external alarm devices, such as sirens and strobe lights.
  • Communication: Features a serial port for communication with external systems or for data logging.
  • Enclosure: IP65 rated enclosure, providing protection against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for harsh environments.
  • Dimensions: The main board measures approximately 353.00 mm x 470.00 mm, while the overall enclosure is 444.00 mm x 270.00 mm.
  • Operating Temperature: Designed to operate within a wide temperature range, ensuring reliability in various environmental conditions.
  • Certifications: Complies with CE and ATEX directives, ensuring adherence to European safety and quality standards.

Usage Features

The PL4+ is designed for ease of use and flexibility. Its modular structure allows for simple expansion by adding 4-zone expansion modules (STPL4/ESP). Each expansion module provides 4 additional inputs and 16 Open-Collector outputs (negative polarity) that can be associated to AL1, AL2, AL3 alarms of each of the 4 inputs. The 16 O/C outputs can be improved in relay outputs by the STG/16REL card.

The front panel features a clear display and intuitive push buttons for programming and control. The programming menu is structured logically, allowing users to easily navigate through various settings, including alarm thresholds, relay assignments, and system configurations. The display provides real-time information on gas concentrations, alarm statuses, and system faults, ensuring that users are always aware of the system's operational status.

The system supports multiple languages for the display and programming interface, making it accessible to a wider range of users. The comprehensive manual provides detailed instructions for installation, configuration, and maintenance, ensuring that users can effectively operate and manage the system.

Maintenance Features

The PL4+ is designed for easy maintenance and troubleshooting. The enclosure can be easily opened by unscrewing the four screws on the front panel, providing access to the internal components. The main board and expansion modules are clearly labeled, making it easy to identify and replace components if necessary.

The system's self-diagnosis function continuously monitors internal components for faults, reducing the need for manual inspections. In case of a fault, the system displays an error message on the front panel, indicating the specific issue and guiding users towards a solution. This feature helps to minimize downtime and ensures that the system remains operational at all times.

The modular design allows for easy replacement of individual components, such as expansion modules or relays, without having to replace the entire unit. This reduces maintenance costs and simplifies the repair process. The system also supports firmware updates, ensuring that it can be kept up-to-date with the latest features and improvements.

Regular calibration of the gas detectors is essential for maintaining the accuracy and reliability of the system. The PL4+ provides features to facilitate calibration, allowing users to easily perform calibration procedures according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The system can also be configured to remind users when calibration is due, ensuring that detectors are always operating optimally.

The robust IP65 rated enclosure protects the internal components from dust and water, reducing the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance. The durable construction ensures that the system can withstand harsh environments, providing long-term reliability and performance.
