Diagnostic Module Electrical

Table 9
Diagnostic Module Electrical
Supply Voltage Input range 12 vdc to 24 vdc
Supply Current 50mA average current, 150mA max current, including all sensor excitation.
Cold Junction Compensation (CJC) Integral via the on board sensor at the thermocouple connection point. CJC accuracy to add less than
±1.5° C (±35° F) error over specified Diagnostic Module ambient operating range (typical will be less than
±0.6° C (±33.0° F)
ADC Resolution 10 bit unipolar, will result in approximately
2° C (36° F) resolution for temperature and 0.1 in Hg for pressure.
ADC Accuracy Max (over temp): ±4 bits%.
System Accuracy Temperature Error Max:
±5° C (±41° F) (typical
±2° C (±36° F)). Pressure Error: ±1.5% typical, 3% max.
Sample Capacity The exhaust monitor can store approximately 260,000 records in internal memory. Dynamic allocation of memory space is implemented to allow for asynchronous event storage (for example: alarms).
RTC Integral real-time clock with 10 year life expectancy lithium cell backup. Ambient temperature (
25° C (77° F)) accuracy of ±30 seconds/month.
Glitch Recovery The Diagnostic Module microprocessor is equipped with a hardware watch dog timer to restore normal operation in the event of a system upset.
Alarm Outputs Two outputs. Alarm 1 is an open collector transistor output. Alarm 2 is a relay output. The normally closed contacts of this relay are used to add a level of fail-safe integrity to the system. The relay is utilized in the event of a system power failure. The relay will short Terminal strip TS2, Position 4 to ground upon alarm condition. The relay will also short Terminal strip TS2, Position 4 to ground in the event of a power failure of the Diagnostic Module.
Serial Data Port Multiwire serial interface for connection to a PC. A fixed baud rate of 115K/baud is supported.
Software Restart Upon interruption and reapplication of power, the exhaust monitor will start normal operation including data logging and alarm functions.
