GDA-1600 Sixteen Channel Alarm Controller0 pages
Bacharach's all new GDA-1600 Controller offers premier performance and functionality in a standalone
nnnncontroller. From one to sixteen channels, the GDA-1600 is designed to provide operators the most
nnnndetailed, real time information about gas concentrations throughout the facility. Information is relayed
nnnnto the operator through a large LCD display that shows real time gas concentrations, sensor location,
nnnnsensor type, as well as historical data trends. Each channel has three independent, user-programmable
nnnnalarm threshold values that allow for flexibility in alarm notification. When alarms do occur, operators
nnnnare notified via LED alarm indicators on the front panel, clearly showing which channel is in alarm and
nnnnthe alarm state. Internal relays can also be utilized to control fans, horns, or beacons when alarm
nnnnthresholds are exceeded. When responding to alarms, information is critical. The GDA-1600 provides
nnnnmore details than any other controller on the market today.
nnnnCentralize Monitor and Alarm Functions
nnnnThe GDA-1600 is equipped with a fault and three alarm levels per channel with features such as ON/
nnnnOFF delays, latching relays and alarm acknowledge. A dedicated horn driver circuit for a local audible
nnnnalarm is also standard. Two standard, 5-amp alarm relays are configurable via the "alarm voting" menu
nnnnto make relays trip based upon various alarm combinations. If more relays are required optional relay
nnnnboards can be added.
nnnnReal-Time clock and calendar are standard on the GDA-1600. Options such as 4-20 mA outputs and
nnnndiscrete relays are easily added. RS-485 (Modbus® RTU) or Ethernet (Modbus® TCP) ports are also
nnnnavailable for flexibility in sending data to PC's, PLC's, DCS's, or other controllers. The GDA-1600 has
nnnncomplete calibration functionality for each input channel. This unique feature allows maintenance and
nnnnservice personnel to use the controller to calibrate the Bacharach GDX-150 simple sensor.
