LPT-M - Operation Manual

 

       

If the LPT-M is part of a system, such connected to a QCC or FCS, each gas 

channel splash screen will show the current status of the channel:

•  OK - gas channel is operating normally
•  LOW - gas channel is in low alarm
•  MID - gas channel is in mid alarm
•  HIGH - gas channel is in high alarm
•  FAULT - gas channel is in fault
•  COMM - controller has been unable to communicate with the 

LPT-for at least 300 seconds

NOTE:

 

If the LPT-M is being used as a standalone system (not connected to a 

controller), the COMM status does not apply.

Using the magnetic wand (or buttons inside the enclosure) you can scroll 

through the other splash screens that show the devices’ serial number, 

Modbus® ID setting and current sensor temperature reading.
