. Coil current: the time measurement starts as soon as the first Open or Close coil current exceeds
the selected percentage, from 1% to 30%, of the selected current range.
. Auxiliary input: the time measurement starts when the selected auxiliary input turns ON or
changes its state. The trigger can be performed also on a logical combination of auxiliary inputs.
. Analog input: the time measurement starts when the analog input level crosses (greater than, lower
than) the selected threshold.
. External trigger. The test set features a Trigger Out output and a Trigger In input, that allow
synchronizing up to 4 CBA1000’s. In this mode, one CBA1000 acts as the Master unit; its Trigger
Out output will be connected to all other units, selected as Slave. As the Master starts the test, all
other Slave units will measure the timing on Main, auxiliary and analog inputs. Maximum timing
error: 100 us. This feature allows to test circuit breakers with more than two chambers per phase, or
to survey more than four auxiliary inputs, or to survey more than one analog input at a time.
2.7 PROGRAMMABLE SEQUENCES
The user can select the following Open and Close sequences:
. Open: the Open coil is driven. In case of four coils, the selected Open coil phase is driven.
. Close: the Close coil is driven.
. OC: In sequence, the Open and Close coils are driven. In case of four coils, the selected Open coil
phase is driven.
. CO: In sequence, the Close and Open coils are driven. In case of four coils, the selected Open coil
phase is driven.
. OCO: In sequence, the Open, the Close and then again the Open coils are driven. In case of four
coils, the first Open command is issued on the selected Open coil phase, while the second Open
command is issued on all coil phases.
Via the software, it is possible to repeat an OC or CO command up to 9999 times.
These sequences are also selected by means of a dedicated pushbutton; the selected sequence is
confirmed by an LED.
For all the above sequences, the user can program the following delays:
. Open command duration: range 10 ms to 10 s.
. Close command duration: range 10 ms to 10 s.
. Open to Close delay: delay range 10 ms to 199.990 s.
. Close to Open delay: delay range 10 ms to 199.990 s.
. Recording duration: range 10 ms to 199.990 s.
. Two times recording. In this mode, the measurement is performed in two steps, separated by a
pause: this avoids loosing the timing resolution of the part of interest. It is possible to program a
first recording duration, then a pause, then the second recording duration.
. After programming, it is possible to view on the display the sequence timing: this helps avoiding
programming errors.
