PU delay for a.c. rejection
For relays to ES148-4 standard and 110/125 or 220/250
volt DC working a 48 volt status input is supplied for use
with external dropper resistors:
Nominal Voltage Resistor Value Wattage
110V 2k7 ± 5% 2.5 W
220 V 8k2 ± 5% 6.0 W
Each status input has associated timers which can be
programmed to give time delayed pick-up and time delayed
drop-off. These timers have default settings of 20ms, thus
providing rejection and immunity to an AC input signal.
Status inputs will not respond to the following:-
250V RMS 50/60Hz applied for two seconds through a 0.1μF
capacitor.
Discharge of a 10μF capacitor charged to maximum DC
auxiliary supply voltage.
The status inputs with nominal voltage of 30 V to 54 V meet
the requirements of ESI 48-4 ESI 1.
Low Burden Status Inputs
Optionally, low burden status inputs are available directly rated
for 110/125Vd.c. or 220/250Vd.c. without dropper resistors.
These inputs do not meet the ESI 48-4 ESI 1 requirements.
Where necessary a single external dropper resistor in parallel
can be fitted to meet ESI 48-4 ESI 1 requirements.
