FEATURES
TRIP HOLD
RFL DS-TT RFL Electronics Inc.
January 31, 2008 2 (973) 334-3100
This is a timer function which extends the length of time that a trip output is activated
after a valid trip condition occurs. For this function to engage, a valid trip condition must
exist long enough to satisfy the pre-trip timer. The length of time is programmable
independently for each function.
INPUT DE-BOUNCE
This is a timer function which requires that a trip input be present for a certain length of time
before a trip command is transmitted. The length of time is not programmable by the user, but
is set at the factory to 100μs.
ALARM TIMER
This is a timer function which requires that an alarm condition exists for a certain length of
time before an alarm output is generated. The length of time is programmable by the user.
PRE-TRIP TIMER
This is a security timer function set on the Rx Card. It requires that a trip be present for a
certain length of time before an output is generated. The length of time is programmable
independently for each function. Note that the setting in NMS (Network Management
Software) has a propagation delay or offset of 2 ms built in. The NMS pre-trip timer setting
takes into account an approximate 2 ms of processing delay within the module and mux.
For example: To cause the Pre-Trip Timer to require 3 continuous milliseconds of
Receive Trip Commands before the trip command is accepted, use an NMS pre-trip
timer value of 5 ms.
COMMUNICATION CHARACTERISTICS
This module communicates using a single bi-directional DS0. The communication includes
programmable addressing to prevent misconnections. One of 32 addresses are selectable.

PING PONG
This module is capable of measuring and recording round trip delay. The measurement is
run continuously and an alarm is generated if the round trip delay exceeds a user preset
value. The frequency of the Ping Pong test is selectable by the user. The resolution of the
test is 1 millisecond and the accuracy is 1 millisecond each way.
