The MM1700 monitors a frequency input signal and trips a DPDT, 5 A relay when the input reaches the desired frequency. Alarms may be High acting (alarm trips on an increasing input frequency) or Low acting (alarm trips on an decreasing input frequency). Normal operation has the relay energized for the non-alarm condition and de-energized for an alarm condition. This provides a fail-safe alarm condition for loss of power to the module. The alarm has a set of red/green LEDs to indicate alarm status.
A deadband adjustment allows a deadband of 0.5 %to 100% of span to be set into the module. The deadband is symmetrical about the setpoint.
The wide range of input sensitivity allows the MM1700 to be driven from low level magnetic pickups as well as logic level signals. A threshold adjustment sets the minimum input amplitude the module will process. This allows the user to trade off sensitivity versus noise rejection. An optional pullup resistor (Option P) permits use with contact-closure or open-collector inputs.
All Wilkerson products are designed with RFI filters and lightning to reduce susceptibility to electrical noise and damage by lightning.
