The MM1220 monitors any thermocouple input signal and provides two sets of spdt, 5 A alarm relays with two independently adjustable setpoints. Each setpoint has a set of red/green LEDs to indicate alarm status. When the input is between the setpoints, the relays are normally deenergized. When the signal exceeds a particular setpoint, the relay becomes energized. To provide a fail-safe operation (loss of power resulting in alarm state), select Option R. The module can be supplied as a HI/HI, HI/LO, or LO/LO alarm (HI/LO supplied if not specified).
Standard deadband on both alarms is fixed at 0.5% of span. (Option A provides adjustable deadband of 0.5% to 100% of span.) Option D, latching alarms, has no deadband control. Once the limit has been reached, the alarm latches and power to the module must be momentarily interrupted to reset the alarm.
Cold junction compensation is provided by a solid state temperature sensor embedded in the thermocouple terminal strip.
All Wilkerson products are designed with RFI filters and lightning protection to reduce susceptibility to electrical noise and damage by lightning.
Upscale burnout protection is provided as standard. In the event the thermocouple opens, the module behaves as though the input goes offscale high. Option B provides downscale burnout protection (module behaves as though the input goes low).
