Model 1610-N4X
1.0 Introduction
Detcon Model 1610-N4X Gas Detection System consists of 3 major assemblies:
1. The 1610-N4X Fiberglass or Stainless Steel control enclosure.
2. The Model 10 single channel digital control modules.
3. The remote mount gas sensor assemblies.
The NEMA 4X control enclosure is detailed in this manual; the Model 10 Control Modules are detailed in the
Detcon Model 10 Operators Installation and Instruction Manual, and applicable sensor assemblies in their
corresponding Operators Installation and Instruction Manual.
1.1 Description
Detcon Model 1610-N4X control enclosure, along with Model 10 Control Modules, is designed to serve as a
host assembly for up to sixteen remote mount gas detection sensors. The control enclosure is rated NEMA 4X,
which is by definition rain tight and therefore suitable for outdoor location in electrically non-hazardous
environments. All control modules are plug-in front panel accessible for easy maintenance and repair. The
unit is powered by 110~240VAC unless otherwise specified at the time of order.
Discrete output terminal strips located on the controller motherboard are provided for sensor terminations. 4-
20mA outputs for remote recording devices and an RS-485 serial ModBus™ output are also located on the
motherboard. VDC power in, and remote alarm reset terminations are also provided on the Motherboard.
Form-C relay outputs from each Control Module are provided for Alarm 1, Alarm 2, and Fault conditions.
These relay outputs can be configured as discrete or zoned as determined by jumpers located between the
channels on the motherboard and the relay settings determined by the dipswitches on the Model 10 Control
Modules.
