Using External In / Output
10.4 Comparator Function (optional)
When the instrument is equipped with option /CMP you can compare the measured/computed/
integrated/analysis values with previously set limits and these results can be output by contact
relay.
Contact Relay Output
This instrument is equipped with four contact relays (4 ch) as follows. If the relay is not
operating, the NC (Normally Closed) contact is closed. If the relay is operating, the NC contact
is opened and the NO (Normally Open) contact is closed.
Relay specifications
• Contact rating
: rated 24V/0.5A (max. 30V/0.5A)
• Minimum load
: 10mV/10
µ
A
• Operating life with load
: approx. 500000 times (at contact rating)
• Operating life without load : approx. one hundred million times
• Contact Response time
: less than 500ms
Note
Since this relay is subject to wear, it is excluded from the 3-year warranty.
CAUTION
Damage to the relays may occur when a voltage or current exceeding the
specified range is applied to the contact output terminal.
Comparator Mode
The following two comparator modes are available.
Single Mode
If the measured/computed/integrated/analysis values exceed the previously set limits, the relay
contact will become NO. This mode is useful when you want to assign each of the four relays
individually. Refer to the figure below.

When the current value is less than 3A: NO-GO will be determined and the
circuit becomes open.
When the current value is 3A or more: GO will be determined and the circuit
becomes closed.
