3.7.3
Impulse Signal for the Flag Indicator
A ag indicator can be connected to terminals FI+/FI− (WIC1‑4: Out+/Out−) of the terminal
block X4, e. g. for a power-safe signaling of a trip.
The energy is provided by a capacitor store integrated in the WIC1 protection relay. The
length of the trip impulse is approx. 50 ms, the pause between the individual pulses depends
on the impedance of the ag indicator and the current level. Pulsing is continued until the
assigned signal drops o.
Technical Data for the Setting Pulse
• Energy: E ≈ 0.01 Ws•
• Voltage: V ≈ 24 VDC•
CAUTION!
It is not allowed to connect any continuous / active voltage to the setting contact or to
the reset contact of the ag indicator!
Any continuous voltage can destroy the coil that is built into the ag indicator.
For a WIC1‑4, in particular, it is not permissible to connect a ag indicator and set the
operating mode of the output to “output relay” (see ╚═▷ “Relay Output (WIC1‑4)”).
