The binary inputs have a low minimum operate current and may be set for high speed operation. Where a binary
input is both used to influence a control function (e.g. provide a tripping function) and it is considered to be
susceptible to mal-operation due to capacitive currents, the external circuitry can be modified to provide immunity
to such disturbances.
To achieve immunity from AC interference, a BI pick-up delay of typically one-cycle can be applied.
