GETTING

 

STARTED

 

(continued)

 

Step

 

Four

 

The

 

Latching

 

Relay

 

(Automatic

 

Fill/Empty)

 

may

 

be

 

used

 

with

 

any

 

device

 

that

 

outputs

 

a

 

4

20

 

mA

 

signal.

  

The

 

relay

 

is

 

a

 

single

 

pole,

 

double

 

throw

 

type;

 

the

 

controlled

 

device

 

can

 

be

 

connected

 

to

 

either

 

the

 

normally

 

open

 

or

 

normally

 

closed

 

side

 

of

 

the

 

relay.

  

Typical

 

applications

 

for

 

Latching

 

Relays

 

are

 

automatic

 

filling

 

(starting

 

fill

 

pump

 

at

 

a

 

low

 

level

 

and

 

stopping

 

pump

 

at

 

a

 

high

 

level)

 

or

 

automatic

 

emptying

 

operations

 

(opening

 

a

 

drain

 

valve

 

at

 

a

 

high

 

level

 

and

 

closing

 

valve

 

at

 

low

 

level).

 

Guide

 

to

 

Controls:

  

Below

 

is

 

a

 

listing

 

and

 

the

 

location

 

of

 

the

 

different

 

components

 

for

 

the

 

controller:

 

 

1.

 

Power

 

indicator:

  

This

 

Green

 

LED

 

lights

 

when

 

AC

 

power

 

is

 

ON.

 

2.

 

Relay

 

indicator:

   

This

 

Red

 

LED

 

will

 

light

 

whenever

 

the

 

controller

 

energizes

 

the

 

relay,

 

in

 

response

 

to

 

the

 

transmitter

 

input

 

and

 

after

 

the

 

time

 

delay.

 

3.

 

AC

 

Power

 

terminals:

  

Connection

 

of

 

120

 

VAC

 

power

 

to

 

the

 

controller.

  

The

 

setting

 

may

 

be

 

changed

 

to

 

240

 

VAC

 

if

 

desired.

  

This

 

requires

 

changing

 

internal

 

jumpers;

 

this

 

is

 

covered

 

in

 

the

 

Installation

 

section

 

of

 

the

 

manual.

  

Polarity

 

(neutral

 

and

 

hot)

 

does

 

not

 

matter.

 

4.

 

Relay

 

terminals

 

(NC,

 

C,

 

NO):

   

Connect

 

the

 

device

 

you

 

wish

 

to

 

control

 

(pump,

 

alarm

 

etc.)

 

to

 

these

 

terminals:

 

supply

 

to

 

the

 

COM

 

terminal,

 

and

 

the

 

device

 

to

 

the

 

NO

 

or

 

NC

 

terminal

 

as

 

required.

     

The

 

switched

 

device

 

should

 

be

 

a

 

non

inductive

 

load

 

of

 

not

 

more

 

than

 

10

 

amps;

 

for

 

reactive

 

loads

 

the

 

current

 

must

 

be

 

derated

 

or

 

protection

 

circuits

 

used.

   

When

 

the

 

red

 

LED

 

is

 

ON

 

and

 

the

 

relay

 

is

 

in

 

the

 

energized

 

state,

 

the

 

NO

 

terminal

 

will

 

be

 

closed

 

and

 

the

 

NC

 

terminal

 

will

 

be

 

open.

 

5.

 

Invert

 

switch:

  

This

 

switch

 

reverses

 

the

 

logic

 

of

 

the

 

relay

 

control

 

in

 

response

 

to

 

the

 

switch(es):

 

conditions

 

that

 

used

 

to

 

energize

 

the

 

relay

 

will

 

now

 

de

energize

 

the

 

relay

 

and

 

vice

 

versa.

 

6.

 

Time

 

delay:

  

Sets

 

delay

 

from

 

0.15

60

 

seconds.

  

Hold

 

Delay

 

button

 

to

 

increase

 

delay

 

in

 

5

 

second

 

increments.

 

7.

 

Digital

 

display:

  

Shows

 

the

 

current

 

4

20

 

mA

 

signal

 

in

 

engineering

 

units.

 

8.

 

Input

 

terminals:

   

Connect

 

the

 

transmitter

 

wires

 

to

 

these

 

terminals:

   

A

 

24

 

VDC

 

power

 

is

 

provided

 

for

 

current

 

loop

 

with

 

an

 

additional

 

28

 

VDC

 

power

 

terminal

 

if

 

required.

 

9.

 

Latch

 

switch

 

(relay

 

2):

  

This

 

switch

 

determines

 

how

 

the

 

relay

 

will

 

be

 

energized

 

in

 

response

 

to

 

the

 

two

 

set

 

points.

  

When

 

LATCH

 

is

 

OFF,

 

the

 

relay

 

responds

 

to

 

set

 

point

 

RLY2A

 

only;

 

when

 

LATCH

 

is

 

ON,

 

the

 

relay

 

will

 

energize

 

or

 

de

energize

 

only

 

when

 

both

 

set

 

points

 

(RLY2A

 

and

 

RLY2B)

 

are

 

in

 

the

 

same

 

condition

 

(both

 

wet

 

or

 

both

 

dry).

  

The

 

relay

 

will

 

remain

 

latched

 

until

 

both

 

set

 

points

 

change

 

conditions.
