Interlock board

Inputs:

  • HTM2500LF temperature+humidity sensor inside Lexan box
  • Flow switch in cooling system return line
  • RS-232 connection to chiller - status, set T, measured pressure/flow/T

Thresholds:

  • Ambient T inside SVT Lexan box < 25 C (set in Arduino script)
  • Ambient RH inside SVT Lexan box < 5 % (set in Arduino script)
  • Cooling system flow > 20 GPH (adjustment screw on flow switch)

Logic:

  • Check inputs every 1 s; if any input is abnormal, trip and stay tripped (must reset Arduino board to clear)

Outputs:

  • RS-232 to chiller: if tripped, send "stop" command every 1 s
  • Interlock to CAEN crate (5V normal, 0V tripped) - trip turns off all outputs immediately
  • No labels
