elapses between the moment the timer stops (trip signal of the relay being
tested) and the effective disappearance of the voltages and/or currents in the
output (switch opening). In short, it enables us to simulate the so-called
“switch time”. When this button is deactivated or activated with time selection
“0” ms the selected outputs are immediately deactivated when the timer
stops.
TIME DELAY
In the section marked TIME DELAY there is a table that contains the
controls to select the waiting time, see the function start condition
and establish the actions when the time interval ends:
•
The Time Delay START conditions are established with
the same controls as the ones with which the timer start
condition is established, as explained above. In any case,
the screen informs of the selected condition, following the
“start condition” tag.
•
In the time setting window, the desired time is entered in milliseconds, using
the rotary knob. It is marked as “Time Delay: Initial value of the count”.
•
There are two possible actions when the count down ends. One is to remove
all selected outputs and the other, assuming that we are in 2
nd
value status, is
to return to status 1 (initial)
•
The Time Delay can be activated at the same time as the Timer in all the
tests. If the timer count ends before the event selected to stop the timer
occurs, this will not stop.
