PARAGON CONTROLS SPM-2000-IOM Guardian Plus Space Pressure Monitor and Controller Instruction Manual

BASIC OPERATION

The Guardian Plus is a complete system package consisting of space and reference pressure sensors and the central control processing module. The central module measures and displays the pressure differential with a resolution of up to one ten thousandth of an inch water column. The LED display can be calibrated to read in either inches of water column or pascals. The 3-mode (P, I, 1/D) controller circuitry compares the space pressure to a space pressure setpoint signal and outputs a 0-10vdc or 4-20ma signal to maintain the desired differential pressure. Controller status LED•s indicate controller output level and status of control interrupt input signal. An auxiliary 0-10vdc or 4-20ma analog output signal linear to the pressure differential is provided for remote monitoring, control and data logging. An alarm condition will occur when the space pressure falls outside the preset operating range. During an alarm condition, a local LED will illuminate, the audible alarm will enable if turned on and an auxillary dry contact for remote alarming will close. An alarm acknowledge button located on the front panel will turn only the audible alarm off. A key locked front panel allows for controlled access to the field configurable functions of the Guardian Plus. These functions include:

1.1 Transducer calibration zero and span adjustments.
1.2 Alarm setpoint adjustment.
1.3 Controller setpoint adjustment.
1.4 Alarm time delay to prevent nuisance alarms which would occur due to normal foot traffic.
1.5 Audible alarm On/Off selection.
1.6 Alarm and Controller setpoint display selection switches.
1.7 Controller (P, I, 1/D) tuning adjustments.
1.8 Controller output selection (Auto/Manual) and adjustment.

GUARDIAN PLUS FEATURES

(Note: Refer to figures 1, 3 & 4 for component and test point locations)

2.1 POWER SUPPLY

The Guardian Plus utilizes an isolated linear type power supply generating +15 vdc and ∀5vdc to power the transducer sensor, scaling and digital circuitry. Input power to the Guardian is 24VAC. The power supply is fused with an 3/8 Amp Slo Blow fuse.

2.2 ALARM STATUS

1. NORMAL (Green LED) – Indicates space pressure is within the operating range.
2. ALARM (Red LED) – Indicates space pressure has fallen outside the operating range.

2.3 CONTROLLER STATUS

1. MIN OUTPUT (Red LED) – Indicates that controller output is at a minimum value (0vdc or 4ma).
2. NORMAL (Green LED) – Indicates that controller output is controlling between minimum and maximum output.
3. MAX OUTPUT (Red LED) – Indicates that controller output is at a maximum value (10vdc or 20ma).
4. CONTROL INTERRUPT (Red LED) – Indicates that the controller is in a control interrupt mode of operation. Depending upon controller setup, the output will drive to a pre-determined output value or lock the output at the same value it was when the control interrupt was activated.

2.4 AUDIBLE ALARM ON/OFF

1. ON – Indicates audible alarm is activated when in alarm condition.
2. OFF – Indicates audible alarm is de-activated when in the alarm condition.

2.5 ALARM ACKNOWLEDGE

If the space pressure has fallen outside the operating range and is in alarm mode, the audible alarm can be silenced by pressing the ALARM ACKNOWLEDGE switch.

2.6 REMOTE ALARM RELAY

A SPDT relay is de-energized when space pressure is within the operating range and energized when the space pressure has fallen outside the operating range.

2.7 DISPLAY SELECT

Pressing the ALARM SP. or CONT. SP. switch once will change from process monitoring to
displaying the alarm or controller setpoint value.

1. PROCESS – Displays the measured pressure differential.

2. ALARM SP – Displays field adjustable positive or negative setpoint value.
   To return to displaying process, press the ALARM SP. switch once. If the ALARM SP. switch is not pressed, the display will automatically return to process in approx. 60 seconds.

3. CONT. SP. – Displays field adjustable positive or negative setpoint value. To return to displaying process, press the CONT. SP. switch once. If the CONT. SP. switch is not pressed, the display will automatically return to process in approx. 60 seconds.

2.8 DISPLAY

The 3-1/2 digit LED is factory calibrated for either Inches of Water or Pascals.

2.9 ACCESS DOOR OPTIONS & ADJUSTMENTS

1. SPAN – Used for span calibration of the transducer.
2. ZERO – Used for zero calibration of the transducer.
3. ALARM SETPOINT – By pressing the ALARM SP. Switch once and displaying the alarm setpoint, the user can adjust the positive or negative alarm setpoint value.
4. ALARM DELAY -Alarm time delay adjustable from 0 to 30 seconds.
5. AUDIBLE ALARM SELECT – The audible alarm is ON/OFF jumper selectable.
6. CONTROLLER SELECTIONS & ADJUSTMENTS:
   a) CONTROLLER SETPOINT – By pressing the CONT.SP. switch once and displaying the controller setpoint, the user can adjust the positive or negative controller setpoint value.
   b) INTERLOCK(H12) – Provides an unloaded system start-up output value. Shorting of SYSTEM START terminals is required and will illuminate a green LED indicating system start is activated. Either minimum or maximum controller output condition can be achieved by jumper selection.
   c) ACTION(H13) – Selects either inverse or direct control action.
   d) RESET(H15) – Selects controller reset rate (1=fast / 3=slow).
   e) 1/D(H16) – Selects controller inverse derivative rate (1=fast / 4=slow).
   f) AUTO/MANUAL MODE(H17) – Selects if controller output is controlled manually or in the auto mode.
   g) MANUAL/SAMPLE HOLD(H14) – In manual mode or door interrupt mode of operation, the output can be manually controlled by R9 potentiometer adjustment (MAN) or the output will lock at the same value it was when the manual mode of operation was selected (SH).
   h) INTERNAL SETPOINT – R49 (INT SP) adjusts the internal controller setpoint.
   i) EXTERNAL SETPOINT – R68 (EXT. SP ZERO) and R64 (EXT SP SPAN) adjust external setpoint signal.
   j) CONTROLLER OUTPUT – R51 (10V), R79 (I ZERO) and R77 (I SPAN) adjust voltage and current output levels.

2.10 DOOR INTERLOCK

The Door Interlock option allows a user to disable the PI1/D control algorithm in the case of room pressure loss due to a door opening and either forces the controller output to a pre-determined value or lock the output at the same value it was when the door interlock option was activated. The following jumper positions determine how door interlock is activated and how the controller output will react to option activation.

1. Door Interlock Activation (H10) :
   CL Position = Contact closure activates door interlock.
   OP Position = Open contact activates door interlock.

2. Controller Output (H14) :
   Man Position = Controller output will ramp to a pre- determined value determined by potentiometer R9.
   S/H Position = Controller output will lock at the value it was when the option was activated.

2.11 SYSTEM START

Closure of the System Start contact enables the control algorithm and guarantees the output starts from a known value (0vdc, 4-ma, etc). If System Start is not activated, the control algorithm is disabled and the controller output will remain at the minimum value.
(NOTE: If not interlocked with fan start command, jumper terminals to enable controller)
