GDA-1600 – 16-channel 4-20mA input controller

GDA-1600

Sixteen Channel Alarm Controller
  • Control system for up to 16 transmitters
  • Large LCD shows real-time gas concentrations, sensor information
  • Complete calibration functionality
  • Non-volatile memory retains all configuration data
  • Optional discrete channel alarm relays

 

DESCRIPTION

The GDA-1600 Controller offers premier performance and functionality in a standalone controller. From one to sixteen channels, the GDA-1600 is designed to provide operators the most detailed, real-time information about gas concentrations throughout the facility. Information is relayed via a large LCD that shows real-time gas concentrations, sensor location, sensor type and historical data trends.

Each GDA-1600 channel has three independent, user-programmable alarm threshold values that allow for flexibility in alarm notification. When alarms occur, operators are notified via LED alarm indicators on the front panel, clearly showing the location and status of the alarm. Two internal relays can be utilized to control fans, horns, or beacons when alarm thresholds in specific areas are exceeded.

 

ATTENTION:

The system is dedicated primarily to cooperation with existing, installed gas sensors from different manufacturers.

In the case of design and installation of a new detection system, it is recommended to use MGS-500 or C3-NET sensors equipped with digital Modbus outputs, plugged to MC3 or ASIX control system.

The digital signal, unlike the analog 4-20 mA signal, is a non-modifiable and undeniable signal that guarantees above-average information security.
