3.0.2 Microprocessor Control Circuit
The control circuit is microprocessor based and is packaged as a plug-in f ield replaceable module, facilitating easy
replacement and minimum down time. Circuit functions include a basic sensor pre-amplif ier, sensor temperature
measurement, on-board power supplies, microprocessor, back lit alpha numeric display, alarm status LED indica-
tors, magnetic programming switches, an RS-485 communication port, and a linear 4-20 mA DC output.
3.0.3 Base Connector Board
The base connector board is mounted in the explosion proof enclosure and includes: the mating connector for the
control circuit, reverse input and secondary transient suppression, input f ilter, alarm relays, lugless terminals for all
f ield wiring, and a terminal strip for storing unused programming jumper tabs. The alarm relays are contact rated 5
amps @ 250 VAC, 5 amps @ 30 VDC and coil rated at 24 VDC. Gold plated program jumpers are used to select
either the normally open or normally closed relay contacts.
