The MINIMUX® II PD138 is a microprocessor-based, eight-channel analog input scanner/multiplexer and annunciator that provides low-cost automatic switching for multi-point display and alarm systems. It can automatically switch up to eight inputs to another device such as a digital panel meter, controller, or PLC. Signal switching is done via reed relays making the PD138 ideal for switching thermocouples, RTDs, control loops, and AC/DC signals. They feature rugged NEMA 4X/IP65 fronts and a wide operating temperature range. They can be programmed for many common ISA alarm sequences including first out indication and they provide alarm signaling through front panel LEDs and a build in 85 dB horn. Custom printed message labels can be included with your order at no additional charge.

Scan MethodInternal or manually controlled
Channel IndicationGreen LED on front panel
Disabling ChannelsAny channel may be disabled during setup
Scan StopThe scan may be stopped by pressing and holding the STOP/GO button for more than 0.5 seconds. The scan may be resumed by pressing and releasing the STOP/GO button quickly (less than 0.5 seconds
Alarm InputIndependent alarm input for each channel. Input Impedance; 25 K Ω, typical pull-up to 5 V
Alarm SequenceSequence A or Sequence F2A (first out)
Alarm OutputsAlarm condition indicated by:
1. Front panel red LED for each channel
2. Relay, 1 SPDT (form C); rated 2 Amp @ 30 VDC or 2 Amp 2. @ 250 VAC resistive load; 1/14 HP @ 125 / 250 VAC for inductive loads. For fail-safe operation, the relay is energized in the non-alarm state. In the case of a power failure, the relay will go to the alarm state, (NC contact is connected to common)
3. Built-in Horn, 85 dB
4. Stop-on-alarmed-channel (user select)
Alarm AcknowledgeFront panel ACK and rear connector terminals
External Switch FunctionsThe functions of the front panel buttons are available at screw terminals at the rear of the instrument
