Timing System 

The  PCU2  timing  system  is  very  flexible,  and  is  closely  integrated  with  the  main  output.    A 
summary of the start and stop events for the timer is shown in the table below. 

 

Timer Mode 

Timer Start Condition 

Timer Stop Condition

Internal Start 

Main output on 

Contact set 1 change 

Single Contact 

Contact set 1 change 

Contact set 1 change 

Dual Contact 

Contact set 1 change 

Contact set 2 change 

Current Operated 

Current >20% of range 

Current <20% of range 

 

 

The timer is reset by pressing the small pushbutton on the front of the timer display.  In each 
mode that the timer is active, the output of the unit must be switched on to arm the timer. 

 

Contact set 1 has a contact input for volt-free contacts and a Vdc input for dc voltages.  The 
Vdc  input  may be used to  trigger the timer from a dc  voltage, and will trigger from either the 
voltage  switching  from  zero  to  24-240Vdc  or  24-240Vdc  to  zero.    The  voltage  must  be 
connected  with  positive  to  the  red  “Vdc”  terminal  and  negative  to  the  blue  “com”  terminal.  
Contact set 2 has a volt-free contact input. 

2.4.1 

Timer Modes 

2.4.1.1  Timer Mode: Off 

 

In the ‘off’ mode, the timer has no effect on the operation of the set, and the timer does not 
run.  This mode is used to set the required current through the test object before a timing test. 

2.4.1.2  Timer Mode: Internal Start 

 

The  internal  start  mode  starts  the  timer  when  the  main  output  is  switched  on,  and  stops  the 
timer on the first change of contact set 1.  When the timer is stopped, the output of the unit is 
automatically switched off. 

2.4.1.3  Timer Mode: Single Contact 

 

In  single contact mode, the timer starts on the first change  of state of contact set 1 after the 
output  is  switched  on,  and  stops  on  the  second  change  on  contact  set  1.    The  output  is 
automatically  switched  off  when  the  timer  is  started.    The  timer  is  reset  when  the  output  is 
switched on.  This timer mode is ideally suited to timing auto-reclose devices. 

 

2.4.1.4  Timer Mode: Dual Contact 

 

Dual  contact  mode  uses  both  contact  set  1  and  contact  set  2.    The  timer  starts  on  the  first 
change  of  contact  set  1  after  the  output  is  switched  on,  and  stops  on  the  first  change  of 
contact set 2.  The output of the unit is automatically switched off when the timer starts.
