SECTION 3
Relays
The 3 relays can be assigned to various functions depending on the application, as shown
below:
Hysteresis is fully adjustable, so for most functions it is necessary to enter both "set" and
"reset" values.
The relay state under normal operating conditions is defined as:-
Normally energised. De-energise when "set" value is reached.
Normally de-energised. Energise when "set" value is reached.
"Failsafe" functions are detailed in Pr.10.1 – 10.5.
The relays can be programmed to give both high and low alarm or control levels.
e.g. High alarm
Set: 2.0m Low Alarm Reset: 0.5m
Reset 1.8m Set 0.2m
The system will automatically configure itself as high or low alarm depending on which of
the set and reset entries has the higher value.
Note that in distance measurement mode set by Pr 1.0, the highest value is furthest from the
transducer.
The relays are controlled using parameter section 8.0 as follows: -
