Opto-isolated Output Board Option

3C.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Opto-isolated Output Board (PCB 24680505) has four opto-isolated outputs and is mounted on top of the input board using 3 nylon spacers. Electrical connection between the two boards is via a plug and a socket (SK1 on the input board and PL1 on the opto-isolated output board).

A second opto-isolated output board may be mounted on top of the first on spacers. Holes have been drilled on all opto-isolated output boards to receive the 3 nylon spacers. The top output board is offset towards the centre of the unit improving the cable layout from the opto-isolated output boards. The spacer fixing holes and mounting holes are illustrated in Figure 3c.1 (on page 3c-6).

Note: The term energised is used to describe the ON (low resistance) state of the opto- isolated output.

Each of the opto-isolated outputs can be energised by any one of up to 16 electrodes, with an individual choice of being energised when its selected electrode is in steam or is in water. Furthermore, opto-isolated output 1 can be used to monitor an electrode state or to register an ALARM condition. When set to register the ALARM state, the opto-isolated output is energised in the ‘system normal’ state and de-energisedwhen an ALARM condition exists.

This option comes complete with the nylon spacers and two 8-way output sockets.

3C.2 INSTALLATION

This sub-section deals with the mechanical and electrical installation of the Opto-isolated Output Board (PCB 24680505) option. In the rest of this chapter the ‘opto-isolated output board’ title is shortened to ‘output board’.

3C.2.1 STORAGE & PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTION 3c.2.1.1 Storage Area

The storage area must be dry, dust-free and kept at a reasonable temperature. The storage area should allow for access and inspection of all items of equipment.

3c.2.1.2 Pre-installation Inspection

Open the option package and inspect the contents for signs of damage. Check contents for completeness.
