9.4 Comparator Function (optional)
Dual Mode
This mode allows you to combine the limit values of two relays (e.g. the upper value
(Hi) and the lower value (Lo)) to determine the contact status. The four relays will be
fixed as two pairs of ch1 & ch2 and ch3 & ch4. Setting the limit values of a pair of
relays (e.g. ch1 & ch2) can only be done at the same display function. The setting
method, relay operation, etc. are the same as in the single mode, and when the
measured/computed/integrated/analysis values exceed the preset limits, the contact
status will become NO.
The following shows an example.

When the current value exceeds 1 A, but is less then 3 A: GO will be ditermined
and the circuit becomes closed.
When the current value lies below 1 A, or exceeds3 A:NO-GO will be determined
and the circuit becomes open.

Note
•
In the dual mode, the combinations ch1&ch2, and ch3&ch4 are fixed. The combinations
ch1&ch3 and ch2&ch4 are not possible.
•
Within a pair you can set either channel as upper or lower limit.
•
The values of V (voltage), A (current), W (active power), VA (apparent power), var (reactive
power), Vpk (voltage peak), and Apk (current peak), while the MAX hold function (see section
4.8) is enabled, will be displayed according to the maximum values (MAX) that are held. The
values that are compared against the limit values are also the maximum values (MAX) that
are held.
