DESCRIPTION

The MM1220 monitors any thermocouple input signal and provides two sets of spdt, 5 A alarm relays with two independently adjustable setpoints. Each setpoint has a set of red/green LEDs to indicate alarm status. When the input is between the setpoints, the relays are normally de-energized. When the signal exceeds a particular setpoint, the relay becomes energized. To provide a fail-safe operation (loss of power resulting in alarm state), select Option R. The module can be supplied as a HI/HI, HI/LO, or LO/LO alarm (HI/LO supplied if not specified).

Standard deadband on both alarms is fixed at 0.5% of span.  (Option A provides adjustable deadband of 0.5% to 100% of span.) Option D, latching alarms, has no deadband control. Once the limit has been reached, the alarm latches and power to the module must be momentarily interrupted to reset the alarm.

Cold junction compensation is provided by a solid state temperature sensor embedded in the thermocouple terminal strip.  The module includes filtering and conditioning to reduce susceptibility to transients and noisy operations.

Upscale burnout protection is provided as standard. In the event the thermocouple opens, the module behaves as though the input goes offscale high. Option B provides downscale burnout protection (module behaves as though the input goes low).

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Heater/cooler control, HI/LO temperature alarm.

MOUNTING

The module is designed to plug into a standard 11-pin relay socket (part number MP011). The sockets are molded plastic suitable for mounting on a flat surface. The MP011 will mount in a 2 3/4 inch wide PVC snap track (TRK48). Use CLP-1 hold-down clip, if needed.  A Killark HK Series explosion-proof housing with dome and 11-pin socket is available (HKB-HK2D-11). A DIN rail mounted socket (MP011) is available for 35mm symmetrical Din rail.
