3.2 Function
Once the supply voltage Us is applied, the start-up delay is activated. Measu-
red values changing during this time do not influence the switching state of
the alarm relays. Residual current measurement takes place via external
CTUB101-CTBC20…210(P) series measuring current transformers. The
currently measured value is shown on the LC display. In this way any changes,
for example when circuits are connected to the system, can be recognised ea-
sily. When the measured values exceed the response values , the response de-
lays t
on1/2
begin.
Once the response delay "t
on1/2
"
has elapsed, the "K1/K2" alarm relays switch
and the alarm LEDs "AL1/AL2" light up. If the residual current falls below the
release value (response value minus hysteresis), the delay on release toff be-
gins. Once toff has elapsed, the alarm relays return to their initial position and
the alarm LEDs AL1/AL2 go out.
