The C1 Protector Controller is an ideal
solution for monitoring up to 16 critical
input variables.
Flexibility
Built around ‘plug and play’ input and
output modules, the C1 Protector controller
can accept signals from wireless
monitors, analog sensors, digital sensors,
discrete inputs or even direct connection
to bridge-style combustible or VOC
sensors. Built-in calibration mode, three
programmable alarm levels per channel
and four common relays (A1, A2, FAULT
and HORN) are included in the base configuration.
Up to sixteen 4-20mA analog
outputs, 48 discrete relays and an Ethernet
interface are available as options.
Status “At A Glance”
The high resolution graphic LCD displays
data as trends, bargraphs and calibrated
engineering units; a 24-hour trend graph
for each channel is always available.
Forty-eight high intensity LEDs show
channel status in real-time. In addition to
touch-sensitive buttons, a standard magnetic
keypad allows non-intrusive operation
in potentially hazardous locations.
Digitally Connected, Wireless Enabled
The C1 Protector controller includes both
master and slave RS-485 serial MODBUS
interfaces for maximum flexibility. The
C1’s master port reads data from remote
RS-485 serial or wireless sensors, while
the slave port enables remote MODBUS
masters to access the C1’s channel and
configuration data in real time.
Built-in support for GDS Corp GASMAX
wireless gas monitors makes it easy to
install and manage a wireless system.
Using GDS Corp’s ProtectorView software
and MODBUS / TCP interface, a remote
display of the controller’s real-time
status and stored configuration is available
across any Ethernet network.
Reliability
The C1 Protector is designed from the
ground up for critical alarm monitoring
and is CSA certified for use in Class I
Division 2 hazardous areas. In addition to
gas detection, the C1 Protector controller
is widely used in flow measurement, tank
level monitoring and other critical alarm
applications. The C1 Protector is available
in panel mount, single or dual rack mount,
NEMA 4X fiberglass and stainless steel,
and NEMA 7 explosion proof enclosures.
