External alarm contact connection
LKPv and LGPv laboratory appliances with Profi-Controller
Example: GSM dialler alarm system using volt free alarm contact
Alternatively, if no internal warning system is in place and additional wiring inside the building is problematical, the volt-free contact can be used in conjunction
with e.g. a GSM alarm dialler. There are many different versions of GSM alarm dialers available on the market which either call a telephone number and/or send
a text message in case of an alarm. Depending on the specification of the alarm dialler, potentially many appliances can be connected to one dialler. Being GSM
appliances, only a SIM card and a power supply are required.
The following example shows a circuit with a GSM dialler: A change in relay setting activates the alarm function of the dialler and thus initiates either a telephone
call or an SMS to pre-defined numbers with a pre-recorded message. The dialler in the example has 6 addressed alarm inputs. This could be 6 individual appliances
or 6 rooms, each with several appliances wired in series.
Volt-free contact
All LKPv and LGPv models have an integrated volt-free contact. The relay contact can be wired into a warning system in the building which would advise e.g. security
personnel or a janitor outside of working hours. Warning systems with audio or visual alarms are possible.
The following example shows a circuit with a visual alarm. Either normal operation or alarm condition or both can be indicated. Either AC or DC circuits are possible,
max AC 230 V / 5 Amp.
Example: visual alarm system using volt free alarm contact
In spite of all efforts to produce appliances of unequalled reliability, Liebherr strongly recommends that the volt-free contact is wired into some kind of independent
and external warning system. Please take a few moments to consider the value of the contents of the refrigerators and freezers under your supervision. The cost
of such a warning system is often negligible in comparison to the value of the contents.
