Description

Retentive
mode

NO
YES

NO

Applicable for latched relays.
In non-retentive mode, the relay always

returns to its non-active state upon
power up.
In retentive mode, the relay status is

restored to what it was prior to loss of
power.

Pulse width 20-1000 ms

100 ms

The actual pulse width is a multiple of
the 1/2-cycle time rounded to the
nearest bigger value.
The pause time between pulses is equal
to the pulse width.

Generating Energy Pulses through Relay
Outputs

To generate energy pulses through a relay output:

1. Set a relay to either pulse, or KYZ mode, and then select

a polarity (active pulse edge) for energy pulses and a

pulse width.

2. Select a source accumulator (type of energy) and the

pulse rate for your output.

3. Store your new setup to the device.

Programming Analog Inputs

The PM174 can be provided with two optional analog inputs
with options for 0-1mA, ±1mA, 0-20mA or 4-20mA input
currents, depending on the order. The 0-1mA and ±1mA
inputs can accept 100% overload currents, i.e., can actually

measure currents in the range of 0-2 mA and ±2mA.

The meter automatically converts the analog input readings
received from the analog-to-digital converter to the user-
defined engineering scale and shows the input values in true

engineering units, for example, in volts, amps, or degrees, with
the desired resolution.
