GETTING

 

STARTED

 

(continued)

 

Step

 

Four

 

The

 

LC80

 

Series

 

may

 

be

 

used

 

with

 

almost

 

any

 

Flowline

 

flow

 

with

 

an

 

N

channel

 

(ends

 

in

 

_

 

_

 

_

 

2”)

 

or

 

relay

 

(ends

 

in

 

_

 

_

 

_

 

5”)

 

output.

   

The

 

relay

 

is

 

a

 

single

 

pole,

 

double

 

throw

 

type;

 

the

 

controlled

 

device

 

can

 

be

 

connected

 

to

 

either

 

the

 

normally

 

open

 

or

 

normally

 

closed

 

side

 

of

 

the

 

relay.

  

A

 

time

 

delay

 

from

 

0

 

to

 

60

 

seconds

 

can

 

be

 

set

 

before

 

the

 

relay

 

responds

 

to

 

the

 

sensor

 

input.

  

Typical

 

applications

 

for

 

the

 

LC80

 

Series

 

are

 

pump

 

protection,

 

no

flow

 

indication

 

or

 

chemical

 

injection.

 

Guide

 

to

 

Controls:

  

Below

 

is

 

a

 

listing

 

and

 

the

 

location

 

of

 

the

 

different

 

components

 

for

 

the

 

controller:

 

1.

 

Power

 

indicator:

 

This

 

green

 

LED

 

lights

 

when

 

AC

 

power

 

is

 

ON.

 

2.

 

Relay

 

indicator:

 

This

 

red

 

LED

 

will

 

light

 

whenever

 

the

 

controller

 

energizes

 

the

 

relay,

 

in

 

response

 

to

 

the

 

proper

 

condition

 

at

 

the

 

sensor

 

input(s)

 

and

 

after

 

the

 

time

 

delay.

 

 

3.

 

AC

 

Power

 

terminals:

 

Connection

 

of

 

120

 

VAC

 

power

 

to

 

the

 

controller.

  

The

 

setting

 

may

 

be

 

changed

 

to

 

240

 

VAC

 

if

 

desired.

  

This

 

requires

 

changing

 

internal

 

jumpers;

 

this

 

is

 

covered

 

in

 

the

 

Installation

 

section

 

of

 

the

 

manual.

 

Polarity

 

(neutral

 

and

 

hot)

 

does

 

not

 

matter.

 

4.

 

Relay

 

terminals

 

(NC,

 

C,

 

NO):

 

Connect

 

the

 

device

 

you

 

wish

 

to

 

control

 

(pump,

 

alarm

 

etc.)

 

to

 

these

 

terminals:

 

supply

 

to

 

the

 

COM

 

terminal,

 

and

 

the

 

device

 

to

 

the

 

NO

 

or

 

NC

 

terminal

 

as

 

required.

  

The

 

switched

 

device

 

should

 

be

 

a

 

non

inductive

 

load

 

of

 

not

 

more

 

than

 

10

 

amps;

 

for

 

reactive

 

loads

 

the

 

current

 

must

 

be

 

derated

 

or

 

protection

 

circuits

 

used.

 

When

 

the

 

red

 

LED

 

is

 

ON

 

and

 

the

 

relay

 

is

 

in

 

the

 

energized

 

state,

 

the

 

NO

 

terminal

 

will

 

be

 

closed

 

and

 

the

 

NC

 

terminal

 

will

 

be

 

open.

 

5.

 

Time

 

delay:

 

Use

 

potentiometer

 

to

 

set

 

delay

 

from

 

0.15

 

to

 

60

 

seconds.

   

Delay

 

occurs

 

during

 

switch

 

make

 

and

 

switch

 

break.

 

6.

 

Input

 

indicators:

  

Use

 

these

 

LEDs

 

for

 

indicating

 

Flow

 

or

 

No

Flow

 

status

 

of

 

switch.

  

When

 

switch

 

is

 

Closed,

 

LED

 

will

 

be

 

Amber.

  

When

 

switch

 

is

 

Open,

 

LED

 

will

 

either

 

be

 

OFF.

  

Note:

 

Consult

 

the

 

manual

 

for

 

the

 

flow

 

switch

 

to

 

determine

 

exact

 

wiring

 

as

 

well

 

as

 

switch

 

polarity

 

(Open

 

or

 

Closed

 

during

 

Flow).

 

7.

 

Invert

 

switch:

  

This

 

switch

 

reverses

 

the

 

logic

 

of

 

the

 

relay

 

control

 

in

 

response

 

to

 

the

 

switch:

  

conditions

 

that

 

used

 

to

 

energize

 

the

 

relay

 

will

 

now

 

de

energize

 

the

 

relay

 

and

 

vice

 

versa.

 

8.

 

Latch

 

switch

 

(LC82

 

series

 

only):

   

This

 

switch

 

determines

 

how

 

the

 

relay

 

will

 

be

 

energized

 

in

 

response

 

to

 

either

 

one

 

input

 

(Input

 

2A)

 

or

 

two

 

inputs

 

(Inputs

 

2A

 

and

 

2B).

  

When

 

LATCH

 

is

 

OFF,

 

the

 

relay

 

responds

 

to

 

sensor

 

Input

 

2A

 

only;

 

when

 

LATCH

 

is

 

ON,

 

the

 

relay

 

will

 

energize

 

or

 

de

energize

 

only

 

when

 

both

 

switches

 

(2A

 

and

 

2B)

 

are

 

in

 

the

 

same

 

state

 

(both

 

open

 

or

 

both

 

closed).

   

Note:

   

In

 

a

 

majority

 

of

 

flow

 

/

 

no

flow

 

applications,

 

the

 

latch

 

will

 

be

 

turned

 

OFF.

 

9.

 

Input

 

terminals:

 

Connect

 

the

 

switch

 

wires

 

to

 

these

 

terminals:

  

(+)

 

is

 

a

 

24

 

VDC,

 

100

 

mA

 

power

 

supply,

 

(

)

 

is

 

the

 

return

 

path

 

from

 

the

 

sensor

 

and

 

(S)

 

is

 

a

 

powered

 

switch

 

input

 

(14

 

VDC,

 

25mA).

  

Consult

 

the

 

flow

 

switch

 

manual

 

for

 

switch

 

polarity

 

(Ex:

 

Open

 

or

 

Closed

 

for

 

Flow)

 

as

 

well

 

as

 

wiring

 

information.
