Setting the Relay Action
Operation of the relays is programmed in the
Action
menu. The
relays may be set up for any of the following modes of
operation:
1. Automatic reset (non-latching)
2. Aut manual reset at any time (non-latching)
3. Latching (manual reset only, at any time)
4. Latching with Clear (manual reset only after alarm condition has cleared)
5. Pump alternation control (automatic reset only)
6. Sampling (the relay is activated for a user-specified time)
7. Off (relay state controlled by Interlock feature)
The following graphic shows relay 1 action setup; relay 2-4 are set up in a similar fashion.
Programming Set and Reset Points
High alarm indication: program set point above reset point.
Low alarm indication: program set point below reset point.
The deadband is determined by the difference between set and reset points. Minimum
deadband is one display count. If the set and reset points are programmed with the same
value, the relay will reset one count below the set point.
Note: Changes are not saved until the reset point has been accepted.
Setting Fail-Safe Operation
In fail-safe mode of operation, the relay coil is energized when the process variable is within safe limits
and the relay coil is de-energized when the alarm condition exists. The fail-safe operation is set
independently for each relay. Select
on
to enable or select
off
to disable fail-safe operation.
Programming Time Delay
The
On
and
Off
time delays may be programmed for each relay between 0 and 999.9 seconds. The
relays will transfer only after the condition has been maintained for the corresponding time delay.
The
On
time delay is associated with the set point.
The
Off
time delay is associated with the reset point.
Relay Action for Loss of 4-20 mA Input (Loop Break)
The loop break feature is associated with the 4-20 mA input. Each relay may be programmed to go to one
of the following conditions when the meter detects the loss of the input signal (i.e. < 0.005 mA):
1. Turn
On
(Go to alarm condition)
2. Turn
Off
(Go to non-alarm condition)
3. Ignore (Processed as a low signal condition)
Note: This is not a true loop break condition; if the signal drops below 0.005 mA, it is interpreted as a
“loop break” condition.
