Fixed Gas Detection Systems – GMA400 Adding analog transmitters and external relays In many industries, it is not uncommon to see extensive systems covering large distances. To reduce the wiring effort, groups of up to 24 transmitters can be connected to an AT24 module using three-wire lines (4-20mA). The GMA400-AT24 transmits the measured values of the analog measuring points to the GMA400 via Modbus connection. The distance between the GMA400AT24 and the controller can be up to 1200m. ACDC-capable transmitters, such as the CC33 for combustible gases or the IR22F for CO2, offer the unique benefit...

Controller GMA400-7

Fixed Gas Detection Systems – GMA400 Additional Relays for Safety Measures The more complex the gas detection system and the more expansive the area it needs to monitor, the more important it is to use enough relays and ensure short transmission distances between them and devices they need to activate, such buzzers, alarm lights or valves. In addition to the GMA400’s eight internal relays, the controller is able to address up to 128 further freely adjustable relays with a floating changeover contact each, using eight external relay modules. Each of the up to 16 display modules per GMA400 activates...
