All LBW-420’s come with these additional standard features: 

 

 

Programmable Hi Alarm and Low-Alarm set points 

 

Selectable PPM reading start (0PPM or 25PPM) 

 

Selectable Service Mode timeout 

 

4-20 mA analog output signals, for ammonia which can 

communicate directly with computer systems such as 

PLC’s 

 

Normally-open, normally-closed contacts for 

communicating with common industry alarm systems. 

 

A NEMA 4X, UL-listed enclosure. 

 

 

Spare contacts for operating auxiliary equipment such as 

exhaust fans, king valves, compressors, and additional 

alarm systems. This relay can be set to operate as an 

indication of an error only, error and active with low alarm 

relay or error and active with alarm relay.

 

 

 

In addition to the standard features, the LBW-420 and LBW-420-1 

can be equipped with these options: 

 

 

A remote ammonia sensor with cable allowing the sensor 

to be located a maximum of 500 feet away from the 

detector. 

 

An external back-up battery to keep the detector working 

during loss of main power. 

 

 

External Temperature Sensor (display only NO 4 to 20mA 

output) 

 

An ABS wash-down tube installed over the sensor so that 

it does not get wet during washdown. 

 

A remote alarm light and horn box with/or without a toggle 

switch to TEST/NORMAL/SILENCE the alarm. 

 

Contact Cool Air Incorporated technical support for more detailed 

information, or for purchasing, any of these options.
