CAUTION!
It is not allowed to connect any active voltage to the trip coil output or to the output (ag
indicator / relay output).
The two outputs may be connected at the same time to test equipment (e. g. to binary
inputs of an Omicron
©
device) only if these two binary inputs do not share a common
potential. Otherwise this external potential bridge, together with device-internal circuits,
can produce incorrect test results.
CAUTION!
For a WIC1‑4, it is also necessary that the congured operating mode matches the
connected hardware!
(For example, it is not permissible to connect a ag indicator and set the operating mode
to “Syst. O.K. & Ext.Suppl.”. See also the related Self-Supervision warnings SW 3, SW 4.)
Moreover, the electrical energy that an output relay drains with operating mode “Syst.
O.K. & Ext.Suppl.” requires that the WIC1‑4 is supplied by an external auxiliary voltage.

The “TC” (Trip Coil) output is always mapped to the trip command, i. e. to the digital
signal »Prot . TripCmd«. (See also ╚═▷ “4.1 »Prot« – General Protection Module”.)
For measuring the trip delay, the “FI” (Flag Indicator) ouput is set as follows:
•
[Device Para / WIC1 / Output] »Prot . Out. assign.« = “Prot . Pickup”
•
Testing Device Settings
Finally, you can use the operating software of your testing device to measure the time-span
between the two digital inputs. This is straight-forward for all recent testing devices.
