Bulletin 1694 Electronic circuit protection for 24V DC
(Cat xxxx-xxx)
WARNING: Electrostatically sensitive sub-assemblies can be destroyed by voltages far below the human perception threshold. These voltages already occur if you touch a component
or electrical terminals of a sub-assembly without being electrostatically discharged. The damage of a sub-assembly caused by an overvoltage is often not immediately
recognised, but will be noticed only after a longer operating time.
Mounting or actuation of the 1694 connector arm must only be effected at dead-voltage. For start-up the 1694 connector arm must be closed.
Device to be installed, operated and maintained by trained personnel only.
The device can’t be serviced or repaired.
To secure device properly against unintended access, product shall be mounted in locked cabinet.

Overview

The Bulletin 1694 Electronic Circuit Protection for 24V DC is a modular solution designed to provide comprehensive protection against short circuit and overcurrent conditions in 24V DC circuits, while also allowing for inrush current. It boasts a maximum system capacity of 40A, with protection modules available in fixed current ratings ranging from 1A to 10A.

Function Description

The device functions as a selective load protector, utilizing an electronic trip curve to safeguard connected loads. It integrates supply modules, circuit protection, and power distribution capabilities. The protection modules are designed to handle capacitive loads up to 20,000 µF (for IN > 6A). Each module features a manual ON/OFF/reset momentary switch for local control. For system monitoring, the 1694-PF supply module provides clear status indication via an LED and an auxiliary contact.
