MX52 16 Channel Alarm/Display Unit

MX52 16 Channel Alarm/Display Unit

Quick Overview

MX52 is a modular control panel for up to 16 channels. The MX52 connects to the OLC, CEX and CTX ranges of gas detectors, plus any other 4-20 mA device can be monitored and controlled. The unit is an alarm/display unit with fixed or scrolling display, 3 programmable alarm thresholds per channel, fault alarm, analogue and serial outputs.

Details

MX 52 controller accepts inputs from flammable (4-20 mA transmitter or catalytic bridge types) and toxic gas detectors. The MX 52 modular design allows you to build your own gas detection system to meet your requirements.

MX52 Description

Features

  • Programmable keyboard
  • Modular control panel (3U, 19")
  • Master digital display
  • Up to 16 channels
  • 33 gas alarm thresholds, one with time delay, 1 common fault alarm

The innovative features of the MX 52 are integrated into a 3U 19” rack frame for use in a variety of applications. The MX 52 can be programmed either through the keyboard or by an external PC.

Each of the 16 channels performs the following:

  • continuous monitoring of connected detector(s)
  • cyclic display of the detected gas, its status, content and unit (ppm, LEL or %)
  • alarms are initiated if concentration exceeds preset thresholds
  • relays activated to enable external warning devices (valves, audio/visual alarms)
  • fault alarms
  • 4-20 mA outputs
  • serial RS485 Modbus interface
