8.8.1.5  Tripping delay time 
Definition of tripping delay time (Del)  
The set tripping delay time starts when the monitoring current overshoots or undershoots the 
corresponding set threshold value.  
Explanation 
The set tripping delay time starts when the load current flowing under normal operating 
conditions overshoots or undershoots the corresponding set threshold value. The red FAULT 
LED flashes. Once this time has elapsed, the switching contact changes the switching state 
and the FAULT LED lights up continuously if the current value is still outside the correct 
range. As a result, transient current oscillations are ignored and do not lead to undesirable 
switching operations (alarms, for example). 
 
 
Note 
Special cases wire break/phase failure 
A delay time is not observed if a wire break or phase failure is detected. The current 
monitoring relay responds immediately (≤ 300 ms) in such cases. 
 
Setting range 
The setting range for the tripping delay is continuously 0 s to 30 s. 
Factory setting 
The tripping delay is factory-set to 0 s. 
Changes to settings 
Changes to the tripping delay time can be made by adjusting the corresponding rotary button 
(Del) with a screwdriver.
