Description
The M3000 Analog Alarm Annunciator has 24 inputs that can
be configured individually for dry contact (NO or NC) inputs or
analog inputs. Analog inputs can read measurements through
4-20 mA, 0-10 Vdc or 0-24 Vdc transmitters. Up to 48 alarms
can be configured with individual reference to any of the 24
inputs. An alarm is activated and indicated when the input
value exceeds a preset critical low or high level. The alarm can
be related to any of the 24 LEDs and any of the 14 outputs.
Several alarms may activate the same LED and/or output. The
M3000 has a common alarm output, a siren output, as well as
dedicated inputs for remote reset and blocking.
Configure the unit from a PC through the built-in RS232
interface or the front panel. It also comes equipped with
an RS485 interface supporting MODBUS-RTU and with
configuration software. It features a spreadsheet-like graphical
interface enabling flexible configuration of all the parameters
in the unit. The M3000 also offers configuration of average
deviations alarms. This feature is used in monitoring of the
exhaust gas temperatures of diesel or gas engines. The
average temperature from a number of cylinders is calculated.
If the temperature value of one of the cylinders deviates from
the average of the remaining cylinders by more than a preset
± offset, a deviation alarm will be activated.

OUTPUTS
M1500 PT100 6-way Transmitter
Six current transducers in one box for use with
DIN60751 3-wire PT100 temperature sensors. The
output signals are 4-20 mA current, which can be
easily fed into the M3000. Each sensor input can
be configured for 3 different temperature ranges.
