A 4-20mA module can be added to any Blackcomb 5.1/6.1 UV system. This module allows the user to monitor the performance of their system. With a sensor installed, the module will output data showing the UV output over time. If there is no sensor installed, the output will always display 20mA, unless there is a major alarm on the controller (such as lamp failure). Follow the instructions below to add a 4-20 mA module to a UV system.

 

 

1. With the system powered down, plug the male plug into the IEP on either the controller, sensor or another module containing an IEP.

 

 

2. Connect the 4-20 mA module to the monitoring device that will be used using 16-22AWG wire. A power supply of 5-30 V/1A MAX is required.

 

3. Power on system.
