Description
The LCDT Selectronic Tattletale system is a compact fault
annunciator with an electronic alarm/shutdown control system. It was
designed to protect engine-driven or motor-driven compressors
and pumps. The annunciator indicates the sensor, and hence the
parameter, that causes an alarm or shutdown. In addition, a
means is provided for testing the operation of each sensor without
initiating an alarm or shutdown. Employing a liquid crystal display,
the LCDT system gives a digital reading of the tripped sensor and
the lockout timer countdown.
As the heart of the system, the basic annunciator component has
two variations: the Model LCDT-NO, which accommodates normally
open sensors, and the Model LCDT-NC, which accommodates
normally closed sensors. These units are enclosed in an aluminum
box having a brush finish. The LCDT system accommodates 47
sensor inputs, 15 of which may be locked out during start-up by the
start/run timer delay.
A separate power supply is provided with the model LCDT
instrument. Power may be supplied by CD ignition, a 120 VAC
line, or by 12 or 24 VDC battery.
Intended for use with all Swichgage instruments without
“OS” option.

■
Optional 3-second time delay allows a fuel valve to close
before grounding the ignition.
Specifications
Power:
Supplied by CD ignition of an engine, 120 VAC line, or
by 12 or 24 VDC battery.
Power Inputs (Operating Voltage):
LCDT-PS-CD (R)-P:
90-250 VDC, CD ignition, positive ground.
LCDT-PS-CD-N:
90-250 VDC CD ignition, negative ground.
LCDT-PS-120/24/12:

sensor switches having normally open or normally closed
contacts such as Murphy Swichgage instrument.
NOTE:
An
approved isolation barrier such as a thermocouple type barrier,
must be used between sensor switch and input terminals if sensor
outputs come from any energy storing device such as a relay or
transistor.
