Product catalog summary
Overview: The document details the ARM Series Alternating Controllers, specifically the Triplex and Quadraplex models, which are designed for managing multiple load operations with either Sequence-On-Simultaneous-Off (SOSO) or First-On-First-Off (FOFO) logic. These controllers are equipped with features for load omission, lead selection, and are expandable for 2, 3, or 4 load operations.
Specifications:
  • Control Voltage: 24 or 120 VAC ±10%, 50/60 Hz
  • Switch Voltage: 5.1 Volts open circuit
  • Switch Current: 10 µAmps short circuit
  • Power Required: 2.5 VA
  • Sensitivity: 100 k ohm
  • Isolation: 2500V Input to Output
  • Duty Cycle: Continuous
  • Response Times: Power Up < 1 SEC, Operate < 25 mSEC, Inrush 5 SEC, Release < 150 mSEC
  • Contact Rating: SPST-N.O., 5 Amps per channel
  • Temperature Rating: Operate -4° to 131°F, Storage -40° to 185°F
  • Enclosure: Style “E” Surface mount
  • Weight: 16 oz.
Operation - Triplex Controllers: These controllers feature intrinsically safe inputs suitable for hazardous locations. The ARM-120-AAE and ARM-120-ABE models differ in their output logic: SOSO and FOFO respectively. The ARM-120-ACE and ARM-120-ADE models include additional functions like load omission and lead selection.
Operation - Quadraplex Controllers: The ARM-120-AGE and ARM-120-AHE models manage four loads with five switch inputs. They also offer SOSO and FOFO logic. The ARM-120-AJE model is expandable and includes manual test modes for system verification.
Field Selection Switch: Allows configuration of load sequences and test modes. Positions include normal operation, load omission, and test modes.
Applications: The controllers are used in pump down applications, where they manage load operations based on fluid levels, ensuring efficient energy use and system reliability.

800.727.5646 atcdiversified.com Diversified Electronics ARM Series 257 Al te r n a t in g C o n t r o l l e r s These Triplex and Quadraplex Controllers are available with either Sequence-On-Simultaneous-Off (SOSO) or First-On-First-Off (FOFO) output logic. The special function models are differentiated by a rotary switch that allows any output to be locked as the lead load or any one load to be omitted while sequencing only the remaining loads. In addition to load omission and lead selection, the expandable model can be set for 2, 3, or 4 load operation with either SOSO or FOFO logic. All models feature intrinsically safe inputs and logic that allows the outputs to operate properly even if one of the inputs fails to open or close. For example: if the off switch fails to close, the lead load will not energize until both the lead and the lag switches close. An inrush delay on all models reduces line sags by preventing multiple loads from energizing simultaneously.

The inputs are designated off, lead, lag, 2nd lag, and 3rd lag. With the off switch closed, the loads energize in sequence upon closure of the lead, lag, 2nd lag, and 3rd lag inputs. If the off switch fails to close, the lead load will not energize until both the lead and lag switches close. De-energization of the loads depends on the output...

The switches are designated off, lead, lag, and 2nd lag. The example begins with all switches open and all loads de-energized. As the fluid level rises, the OFF switch closes, no loads are energized. If the fluid level continues to rise, the lead switch closes and load 1 energizes. As the fluid level continues...
