RELAY NOTES & CONSIDERATIONS
1. Relay activation is based on the computed readings not the displayed value. Therefore the display damping
factor will not affect the relay response time. The RELAY N DELAY feature allows the user to enter a time
delay for relay activation. This feature is very useful in applications where short over/under range conditions
are not considered alarm conditions. The Relay is a delay on make and delay on break. Alarm condition must
be continuously present for a time greater than the entered RELAY N DELAY in order for alarm to activate.
Once alarmed, the alarm condition must be continuously absent for a time greater than the entered RELAY N
DELAY in order for the alarm condition to be reset.
2. When INSTRUMENT TYPE is set to batcher, Relay 1 is reserved for PRESET and Relay 2 is reserved for
PREWARN.
3. Setting the relays to NA (Not Assigned), will allow the relay activation to be controlled via the RS-232 Serial
and/or RS-485 Modbus ports.
4. Relay 3 and Relay 4 settings may be used to trigger display alarm conditions even if the relays are not
supplied.
5. Relay 4 Alarm Operation. When Relay 4 is set for Alarm (Alrm) the relay functions as follows: The relay will
energize when it is NOT in an alarm condition. It is therefore recommended to use the Normally Closed
(N.C.) relay contacts on Relay 4 when wiring for alarm conditions. The Alarm Relay functions in this manner
to ensure that the alarm output will signal on power loss or blown fuse. Other alarm conditions include:
PULSEOUT OVERFLOW
SOFTWARE ERROR RESET
EXTENDED PFI LOCKUP
