Oldham MX48 - CO2 Detector of Type Ventostat VT; Specific Case of Intrinsic Safety Detectors

14
REMARK
In the case of this application, the maximum of five flame detectors can be connected in the
measuring loop.
Example of the utilization of IR3 or UV/IR detectors equipped with connectors of type A with a
local junction box and galvanic insulation (see Fig. 18).
2.3.6. CO2 detector of type “Ventostat VT”
- Connection on MX48 unit: see Fig. 20.
- Resistance of detector/unit power cable: 12 ohms maximum per wire, i.e. 24 ohms in
loop.
- 4-20 mA output: maximum load = 280 ohms (whole loop)
2.3.7. Specific case of intrinsic safety detectors
Two types of intrinsic safety barrier can be used: Z787 / EX and MTL787S+.
PRECAUTIONS
Before connecting the barrier to the unit, check that the voltage is < 25 V DC.
- A short circuit in the electrical connections will result in destruction of the barrier.
- Perform wiring in the DE-ENERGIZED state.
- The electrical link between the MX48 unit and the clipper is made using a screened
cable with two active conductors with a maximum resistance of 12 ohms each.
