3.5 Area switching
A maximum of 32 sets of area can be configured in UAM. However the maximum configurable area
number differs depending on the selected function such as, muting and dual protection. Table 3-1 shows the
maximum configurable area number according to the used mode.
External input signals are provided in UAM for switching the area. Each signal has a pair of normal and
inverted signal. For example, it is necessary to provide both input signal IN_A and inverse IN_A signal to
switch the area. Error will occur if IN_A and inverse IN_A signals do not complement each other. Table 3-2
below shows the combination of input signal to switch the area. Area in use will be displayed in the 7
segment LED of UAM.
It is also possible to configure area input delay. Configure the necessary delay required for the system to
provide stable input signals to UAM. The default value is 30ms.
There are maximum 5 input pairs (a pair is combination of normal and inverted signal) in UAM therefore,
