1.2 CONTROL CONSOLE DESCRIPTION
The console is housed in a NEMA 4X (weather tight/corrosion resistant) FRP (fiberglass
reinforced plastic) enclosure for mounting in the non-hazardous area. Each unit operates on 120
VAC power and provides from one (1) to four (4) intrinsically safe alarm channels for monitoring
up to four independent sensing points. The electrical energy output at each channel is 12 VDC at
15 mADC maximum, and is zener barrier protected. Bright red alarm LEDs, one for each channel,
and a horn are mounted to the enclosure cover.
Each alarm channel is equipped with a 1 Form C output relay, totally isolated from the sensor
inputs, rated for 3A@120VAC, for controlling external devices such as pumps (indirectly), valves
or remote alarm annunciators. All field wiring is made through pressure-type terminal blocks
enclosed under metal barriers to separate the power from the intrinsically safe wiring. Figures 1-2
and 1-3 illustrate the standard LC1000 outline, mounting flange locations, and dimensions.
The console should be located in an area that is easily accessible to the personnel responsible
for operation and maintenance of the system. Use only dedicated conduit entries for their
designated purpose as specified in Figure 1-4. Metal conduiting is recommended and may be
required by local codes. All outdoor conduits must be watertight.
WARNING
Installation MUST be done by qualified personnel familiar with local wiring codes
and explosion hazard electrical safety practices. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY LOSS AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
WARNING
The console is designed for Ordinary Location, Non-Hazardous installation only,
as defined by Factory Mutual (FM) and the National Electrical Code (NEC). DO
NOT install where flammable vapors may be present. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY LOSS AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
