OPEN DOOR/OXYGEN INDICATOR

Oxygen Indicator

Overview:

This module is intended to operate as a self-contained device. It will provide a graphic representation of the status of all doors in the vehicle (open/close) as well as an indication of the oxygen tank pressure.

This module is not required if any of the modules type M6, M12, M18 or M26 are part of the multiplex network since these modules can be programmed to perform Oxygen Level and/or Door Indicator functions.

This device can be factory or field programmed to operate as a door indicator, an oxygen pressure indicator or both, along with their corresponding alarm functions. 

A built-in audible alarm is included to indicate an abnormal open door or low oxygen pressure condition.

Two additional digital outputs are provided (Ground activation) to energize external relays and perform other customer-specified control functions

The open door indication function is fully customer programmable from a PC using ECX provided software. It allows the customer to configure a real-life representation of the vehicle showing the correct number, type and location of doors.
It also allows the customer to specify which physical inputs will be related to each door.


14 DIGITAL INPUTS

Technical Characteristics:

  • 2 Inputs are customer-programmable to be active when connected to +12 VDC or Ground
  • 12 Inputs are factory set to be active when connected to Ground
  • All inputs are optically isolated from the rest of the system for maximum reliability
  • Low current required for activation (less than 10 mA)

Typical programmable functions:

  • Door switch inputs
  • Compartment door inputs
  • Other control and interlock functions (output signals to compartment light control relay, external alarms, etc.)


1 ANALOG INPUT

Technical Characteristics:

  • Factory set to measure an analog input signal from 0 to +5VDC
  • Input protected against overvoltage and signal polarity reversal

FIELD CONNECTION DIAGRAM

Typical programmable functions:

  • Oxygen pressure transducer input (Pressure range 0-2600 psi)
  • Digital and graphic display of oxygen pressure (psi) in tank
  • Low oxygen pressure alarm (factory set at 500 psi)


2 DIGITAL OUTPUTS

Technical Characteristics:

  • Load capacity of 0.5A each
  • All outputs can carry their full load simultaneously
  • Built-in load transient protection diode
  • Factory programmable per customer requirements
  • Asserted at Ground voltage level

Typical programmable functions:

  • Control of compartment lights
  • External audible alarm or lights
  • Other customer-specified control functions


OTHER TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

  • Low input current requirement for digital signals (under 10 mA)
  • Industrial temperature range (-40 °C to +85 °C)
  • Reverse polarity, over voltage and load dump protection
  • Low key-off current drain
  • Large design safety factors for reliable operation
  • Simple plug-in connection of all control and power wiring
