{b} GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The BX280-AX is a control unit capable to control the concentration of gas up to 2 input channels, each of
which can be connected via a 4-20 mA communication to a toxic or explosive gas detection/measurement
device. The control unit is built with the following I/O interfaces.
1) RED LED.
When it is on, the LED flashes for the first 100 seconds, which indicates that the control unit is in the warm up
mode. After this phase, the control unit enters detection mode.
When this LED is blinking, the BX280-AX is not able to detect gas.
2) BATTERY LED.
This LED lights up when the BX280-AX is powered by the battery in the absence of mains and flashes when
the battery voltage is less than 10.8 V.
3) LED SCALE CONCENTRATION GAS.
These LEDs light up in sequence, based on the increase to the gas dispersed in the environment.
a) When the first led turns on, the gas concentration level has reached the first pre-alarm threshold
b) When the second led turns on, the gas concentration level has reached the second pre-alarm threshold
c) When the third led turns on, the gas concentration level has reached the main alarm threshold
This LED is the "latching" type, it stays on to indicate the alarm presence stored in MEMORY, according to the
current operating regulations
LED OVERLOAD
4) The control unit is equipped with electronic OVERLOAD protections, to avoid irreparable damage.
LED OVERLOAD SENSOR
This LED lights up when there is a short circuit or excessive absorption in the power supply.
LED OVERLOAD BATTERY
This LED lights up when there is a short circuit or excessive absorption in the backup battery supply
