MX 48 8 channel alarm/display unit with fixed or scrolling display, 3 programmable alarm thresholds per channel, fault alarm, analogue and serial outputs.
The MX 48 is designed to protect your equipment and personnel in environments liable to contain flammable or toxic gases.
Equipped with up to 8 independent channels, the MX 48 can be used to control different types of detectors. In fact, this unit is compatible with all the detector tramsmitters in the OLDHAM range and any detector with a standard 4 - 20 mA output.
MX 48: designed to meet your needs
The MX 48 caters for a wide range of possible uses, adapting to your safety requirements.
The variety of programming options, by keypad or computer, ensures that it is perfectly adaptable to specific user needs. Furthermore, the MX 48 is open - ended, so that, if required, subsequent extensions or modifications can be added.
Easy to install and very flexible to use, the MX 48 can handle a large quantity of applications to cater for your technical requirements at lower costs.
MX 48 : MEASUREMENT AND ALARM UNIT
The MX 48 is designed for prevention, action and detection, it :
monitors detectors
displays the nature, concentration, measurement and unit of the gas detected (in cyclic mode)
triggers alarms if the measurement exceeds thresholds
actuates relays for the control warning devices, valves and mimic panels
indicates faults
transmits data via analogue and serial outputs.
COMPLIANT WITH EUROPEAN STANDARDS
European standards EN 50054, 50081, 50082 and low voltage directives.
Enhanced ergonomics and performance
USER - FRIENDLY DISPLAY PANEL
TRIPLE ALARM LEVEL
3 individually adjustable alarm levels
Alarms 1 and 2 instantaneous or governed by control logic of 2 speed ventilation systems
