Refrigerant Transducer (P/N 809-1550)
Overview
The Refrigerant Transducer (RT) (P/N 809-1550),
shown in Figure 23, monitors a specified area for the presence
of refrigerant. When refrigerant is detected, the RT
sends a signal to a 16AI input board, and to a CPC controller
such as the Building Environmental Control (BEC) or
Refrigeration Monitor and Case Control (RMCC). The
16AI input board is capable of supporting up to sixteen
RTs, although an additional power supply is required if
more than one RT is connected to a 16AI board. The clearing
cycle, warm-up cycle, and temperature compensation
are unique CPC RT features that reduce false leak signals
and improve leak detection capabilities. The transducer is
enclosed in a protective case to prevent damage to the refrigerant
sensor.

Refrigerant Transducer Sensor Type
The refrigerant transducer is supplied with either of two
sensors depending on the refrigerant to be detected. Table
6 shows the refrigerant type and the sensor part number that
should be used.

RTs require special power considerations during power-up.
Do not substitute other power supplies for CPC
Power Supply (P/N 258-1000).
If only one RT is to be used per 16AI board, then the RT
may be powered directly by the 16AI power output connec-
