1600/6400-N1P-RD
1.0 Description
The Detcon Model 1600-N1P-RD and the 1600/6400-N1P-RD are remote displays for the host Model 1600
and 1600/6400 Control Systems respectively. The 1600-RD is configurable for up to 16 channels and the
1600/6400-RD is configurable for up to 64 channels. They are read only display devices, which show the
visual status of the Model 1600 and 1600/6400 Controllers (respectively).
The status of gas inputs are displayed on a backlit graphic LCD display that uses a touch-screen user interface.
Typical input status indications include channel number, tag name, gas type, concentration, and alarm/fault
status. Depending on the users preference, the Model 1600/1600/6400-RD can also be programmed to display
the alarm and relay status of the 1600/1600/6400 Controller. The 1600/1600/6400-RD also has onboard data
logging to record all alarm, fault and maintenance incidents.
The remote display is powered by 110/220 VAC. The enclosure is rated for NEMA 4X locations.
2.0 System Configuration
2.1 Hardware
Configurations
The 1600/6400-RD is a “user configurable” read only remote display. Connection to the 1600/6400-RD is
made via a three wire serial interconnect cable to the Model 1600/6400 Controller. The 1600/6400-RD is
treated as another device on the addressable serial loop. See Figure 2 for interconnectivity.
2.2 Programming
Configuration
The 1600/6400-RD is normally configured at Detcon based on the application specific information provided
by the customer on the Model 1600/6400 Configuration Form (found in the 1600/6400 Controller Manual).
NOTE: The configuration of the 1600/6400-RD must duplicate that of the Model 1600/6400 Controller
that it is connected to in order to operate properly. This includes all site-specific information pertaining
to:
1) Number of gas channels
2) Range, units and gas type for each channel
3) Alarm level(s) for each gas channel
4) Tag Name for each channel
5) Assignment and set-up information for each relay contact (Optional only if user wants to track relay
out status)
NOTE: the set-up configuration is fully field-programmable and can easily be entered or charged by the
user in the field by following the instructions within this Operators Manual. Modifications to the set-up
configuration are expected to take place at the customer site due to requirements changes and/or system
expansions.
