Comparator Function (optional)
When the instrument is equipped with option /CMP you can compare the measured,
computed, integrated, and analysis values with previously set limits and these results
can be output by contact relay.
Contact Relay Output
This instrument is equipped with four contact relays (4ch) as follows. If the relay is not
operating, the NC (Normally Closed) contact is closed. If the relay is operating, the NC
contact is opened and the NO (Normally Open) contact is closed.
Relay specifications
• Contact capacity: rated 24 V/0.5 A (max. 30 V/0.5 A)
• Minimum load: 10 mV/10
µ
A
• Electric switching life: approx. 500000 times (at contact rating)
• Mechanical life: approx. one hundred million times
• Contact Response time: less than 500 ms
Note
Since this relay is subject to wear, it is excluded from the 3-year warranty.
CAUTION
Damage to the relays may occur when a voltage or current exceeding the specified
range is applied to the contact output terminal.
Comparator Mode
The following two comparator modes are available.
Single Mode
If the measured/computed/integrated/analysis values exceed the previously set limits,
the relay contact will become NO. This mode is useful when you want to assign each
of the four relays individually. See the figure below.

When the current value is less than 3 A: NO-GO will be determined and the
circuit becomes open.
When the current value is 3 A or more: GO will be determined and the circuit
becomes closed.
