Onguard 800 System NT-420 Gas Module
The Allestec model 1457 NT420 Gas Module monitors industry standard 4-20mA output signals, allowing a real time digital display of the input current. The NT420 is connected through the 800 panel motherboard buss and is able to beckon the Alarm, Fault and the Relay Modules. This module is capable of being utilized as a standalone module, or can be integrated with other Allestec modules.
Programming is completed though the two front panel membrane switches. A sonalert responds to each command as the parameters are entered. While in the program mode, all relay outputs are disabled and the fault circuit is active. For each alarm level, the respective relay output will energize and follow its latching mode as established in the program setup. The program mode is also capable of displaying the actual 4-20mA loop current in real time. This feature can be utilized for loop current diagnostics for system servicing.
An optional 4-20mA output is available for a recorder or similar type of measuring instrument. This output signal is an exact duplicate of the input signal and has no influence on the module calibration.
