Relay

 

Latch

 

Logic

 

(Relay

 

2,

 

LC82

 

Series

 

only):

   

This

 

relay

 

is

 

primarily

 

a

 

flow/no

flow

 

relay.

  

However,

 

when

 

used

 

as

 

a

 

level

 

relay,

 

it

 

can

 

either

 

be

 

an

 

independent

 

relay

 

(high

 

or

 

low

 

level

 

alarm)

 

or

 

a

 

latching

 

relay

 

(automatic

 

fill

 

or

 

empty)

 

with

 

latch

 

ON.

  

With

 

Latch

 

OFF,

 

the

 

relay

 

will

 

only

 

respond

 

to

 

the

 

Input

 

2A.

   

Input

 

2B

 

will

 

be

 

ignored.

   

This

 

configuration

 

is

 

ideal

 

for

 

alarming,

 

such

 

as

 

flow,

 

no

flow,

 

leak

 

detection,

 

high

 

level

 

or

 

low

 

level.

 

When

 

the

 

Latch

 

switch

 

is

 

ON,

 

Relay

 

2

 

requires

 

that

 

both

 

Inputs

 

2A

 

and

 

2B

 

to

 

be

 

in

 

the

 

same

 

state

 

before

 

the

 

relay

 

will

 

switch.

   

In

 

an

 

auto

 

fill

 

application,

 

when

 

the

 

bottom

 

switch

 

is

 

dry

 

(top

 

switch

 

is

 

also

 

dry)

 

the

 

relay

 

will

 

energize.

  

The

 

relay

 

will

 

remain

 

in

 

an

 

energized

 

state

 

until

 

the

 

top

 

switch

 

becomes

 

wet

 

(bottom

 

switch

 

is

 

also

 

wet).

  

At

 

this

 

point,

 

the

 

relay

 

will

 

de

energize

 

and

 

remain

 

de

energized

 

until

 

the

 

bottom

 

switch

 

becomes

 

dry

 

again.

   

The

 

same

 

logic

 

applies

 

for

 

auto

 

empty

 

applications.

  

The

 

only

 

change

 

is

 

that

 

the

 

relay

 

will

 

energize

 

when

 

the

 

top

 

is

 

wet

 

(bottom

 

is

 

also

 

wet)

 

and

 

de

energize

 

when

 

the

 

bottom

 

is

 

dry

 

(top

 

is

 

also

 

dry).

  

In

 

both

 

scenarios,

 

when

 

the

 

level

 

is

 

between

 

the

 

two

 

sensors,

 

the

 

relay

 

will

 

not

 

change

 

state,

 

regardless

 

of

 

is

 

the

 

liquid

 

is

 

rising

 

or

 

falling.

  

This

 

logic

 

is

 

ideal

 

for

 

the

 

controlling

 

of

 

liquid

 

between

 

to

 

unique/different

 

set

 

points.

   

The

 

differential

 

is

 

controlled

 

by

 

the

 

location

 

of

 

the

 

two

 

sensors.

 

Caution:

   

Some

 

sensors

 

may

 

have

 

their

 

own

 

inverting

 

capability

 

(wired

 

NO

 

or

 

NC).

  

This

 

will

 

change

 

the

 

logic

 

of

 

the

 

invert

 

switch.
