4.4 Relays
Operating modes The Prolevel FMC 661 has five independent relays with potential-free changeover
contacts. Relays 1a, 1b, 2a and 2b are limit relays, relay 3 is an alarm relay which always
de-energises on fault condition. Relays 1a and 1b are set together, as are 2a and 2b.
Five parameters set the limit relays, Table 4.1 summarises their function:
Relay on alarm The limit relays respond to an alarm according to the entry at V1H3/V1H8 (0 =
de-energise, 1 = as Table 4.2). When the relays are assigned to the external limit switch
(see Chapter 5) they always de-energises on alarm.

Fail-safe mode V1H1 V1H6 0: minimum fail-safe mode: — the relay
de-energises when the level drops below the
switch point, see Fig. 4.15.
1: maximum fail-safe mode — the relay
de-energises when the level rises above the
switch point, see Fig 4.16.
