Description
The Ultra SlimPak II is an exciting new line of isolating signal
conditioners from Action Instruments with greater accuracy and
better stability than virtually any other signal conditioners on the
market today.
The WV128 is a Thermocouple Input Limit Alarm with dual
setpoints and two contact closure outputs. The input type and
alarm functions are field configurable, offering maximum flexibil-
ity. There are seven thermocouple types (B, E, J, K, R, S and T) from
which to choose. Alarm setpoints are fully adjustable throughout
the entire range.
The WV128-2000 contains two standard non-latching SPDT relays.
When power is removed, the relays revert to their non-powered
state. The WV128-2001 contains two latching relays. Whatever
position the relays are in when power is removed is where they will
remain when power is re-applied (a reset switch is provided to
reset the relays after the alarm is no longer true). Both models are
configurable as a single or dual setpoint alarm, with HI or LO trips.
The WV128-2000 supports failsafe or non-failsafe operation. In
failsafe operation the relay coil is energized when the process is
below the HI setpoint or above the LO setpoint (opposite for non-
failsafe). In the failsafe mode, a power failure results in an alarm
state output.
Operation
Each of the alarm setpoints has a respective HI or LO deadband.
Red LEDs will illuminate indicating an alarm condition. The trip will
reset only when the process falls below the HI deadband or rises
above the LO deadband. (The WV128-2001 requires pressing the
reset switch in order to reset the relays after being tripped.) The
deadband can be left at the minimum level (the factory default)
or can be set to whatever level is desired.

Enhanced LED Diagnostics
Other than when executing the pushbutton calibration routine,
the LEDs blink under the following conditions:
RUN (Green):
On when unit is powered.
Flashes at 2Hz when input is under range.
Flashes at 8Hz when input is over range.
SETPOINT A (Red):
On when Setpoint A is tripped.
On when setting Setpoint A.
Flashes while calibrating the input level.
SETPOINT B (Red):
On when Setpoint B is tripped.
On when setting Setpoint B.
On while calibrating the input level.
An Under Range condition exists when the signal is lower than the
operational low value minus 6.25% of the operational span. An
Over Range condition exists when the signal is higher than the
operational high value plus 6.25% of the operational span.

Configuring Modules
Unless otherwise specified, the factory presets the Model WV128
as follows:
Input: Type J
Output: Dual, SPDT
Trip: A: HI, B: LO
Failsafe: No
Deadband: A, B: minimum
Remote Cal: No
1. For other ranges, refer to the SWITCH SETTINGS table (see
Figure 4). Reconfigure switches S1 and S2 for the desired input
type and range.
2. Set position 1 of S1 to ON if a WVC16 will be utilized and remote
calibration capability is desired.
3. Set position 2 and 3 of S1 to ON for a Hi trip setpoint or to OFF
for a Low trip setpoint.
4. Set position 4 of S1 to ON for failsafe operation (e.g. alarm trips
upon power failure) or OFF for non-failsafe operation (-2000 only).
It is also possible to remotely select the setpoints using an Ethernet
connection and the optional WVC16 WebView Communications
Interface module.
Relay Protection and EMI Suppression
When switching inductive loads, maximum relay life and transient
EMI suppression is achieved using external protection (see Figures
2 & 3). Place all protection devices directly across the load and
minimize all lead lengths. For AC inductive loads, place a properly-
rated MOV across the load in parallel with a series RC snubber. Use
a 0.01 to 0.1mF pulse film capacitor (foil polypropylene recom-
mended) of sufficient voltage, and a 47ohm, 1/2W carbon resistor.
For DC inductive loads, place a diode across the load (PRV > DC
supply, 1N4006 recommended) with (+) to cathode and (-) to
anode (the RC snubber is an optional enhancement).
Calibration
See calibration flwchart in Figure 6. The complete calibration
procedure is contained in the Installation & Calibration Instruc-
tions document, which is available on our website
(www.actionio.com). You can also obtain it by telephoning Action
technical support (703-669-1318).
Note that Custom Calibration (option C620) is available from the
factory (settings MUST be within the units specifications). For a
C620, specify the following:
a) Input type.
b) Setpoint A trip point and reset point.
c) Setpoint B trip point and reset point.
d) Failsafe (ON/OFF).
Note that if a deadband entry is not specified, the default setting
of 0.25% will be used.
