DEKKER CONTROLLER OVERVIEW
Dekker’s Controller is standard on the Vmax models. The Dekker Controller provides for system control
as well as monitoring of system status. Service functions include display of spare parts list, maintenance
schedules, and service history, along with logging of fault conditions.
The Dekker Controller includes a 4-line large-font liquid crystal display, a durable Lexan membrane
keypad, and multiple status LEDs. Communication between controllers is via RS-485 for multi-machine
systems. An Ethernet port provides for remote monitoring and control via TCP/IP protocols and can be
enhanced with the use of Dekker’s OnDek Software (optional and purchased separately). Input and
output (I/O) includes 9 digital (24VDC) inputs and 7 dry relay contact outputs. Analog I/O includes 2 RTD
(Resistance Temperature Detectors) inputs, four 0-10VDC/4-20mA inputs, one 0-10VDC output, and one
4-20mA output. Power input to the controller is 24VDC.
