Relays Option
Rating
2 Form C (SPDT); rated 3 A @ 30 VDC
or 3 A @ 250 VAC resistive load;
1/14 HP (≈ 50 watts) @ 125/250 VAC
for inductive loads such as contactors,
solenoids, etc.
Deadband
0-100% FS, user selectable
Electrical Noise
Suppression
A snubber should be connected to
each relay contact switching inductive
loads to prevent disruption to the
microprocessor’s operation.
Recommended snubber value:
0.01 µF/470

Alarm
User may program any alarm for high

Relay
Operation
•
Automatic (non-latching) and/or
manual reset
•
Latching (requires manual
acknowledge) with/without clear
•
Pump alternation control
•
Off (disable unused relays)
Relay Reset
Front panel button, terminal at back of
meter (X2 models only), or through
serial communications
Time Delay
0 to 199 seconds, on and off delays;
programmable
Sensor Break
Relay Operation
The sensor break relay condition may
be programmed for each relay as
On (alarm) or Off (nonalarm).
The relays will enter these states when
a sensor break is detected for RTD or
thermocouple inputs. These settings
have no effect when current or voltage
inputs are selected.
Fail-Safe
Operation
Programmable, independent for each
relay. Relay coils are energized in
non-alarm condition. In case of power
failure, relays will go to alarm state.
Auto
Initialization
When power is applied to the meter,
relays will reflect the state of the input
to the meter.
Serial Communications
Compatibility
EIA-232, and EIA-485 with PDA7232
and PDA7422 Trident adapters.
