5.4 Auxiliary Relay
The programmable auxiliary relay provides a single normally-open contact which is available at
the rear of the unit. The aux relay can be used to provide confirmation to a central controller, to
control another power distribution product, or for controlling another XR315 when two or more
are ganged or cascaded together. Please see the applications section for full details on setting up
an expanded system. There are three menu items to control the aux relay: one to select the mode
of operation and two delay times. The two delay times are only applicable when option A, B, or
C is selected for Aux Output. There is additional information on the aux relay in section 3.2.4.
Aux Output When using the aux relay for confirmation select “Confirm”. Options
“A”, “B” or “C” synchronize the operation of the relay to the same
internal trigger as the receptacles on the rear panel of the XR315.
Choose A, B, or C when the relay is used to control an “RT” type
SurgeX. “Gang” or “Cascade” is selected when two or more XR315s
are ganged or cascaded together. All these options are covered in
detail in the applications section.
Aux Delay On Set the delay time in seconds for the auxiliary relay closing. This
delay time begins with the same internal trigger as the receptacles on
the rear panel of the XR315.
Aux Delay Off Set the delay time in seconds for the auxiliary relay opening. This
delay time begins with the same internal trigger as the receptacles on
the rear panel of the XR315.
5.5 Front Panel Push Button
The front panel push button allows the unit to be powered up or powered down from the front
panel. There is one menu item associated with the push button which allows it to be disabled or
to operate only after a one second delay. The delay option prevents the unit inadvertently
powering on or off if the push button is accidentally bumped. Note that the push button cannot be
used in conjunction with applied voltage or latching type remote control inputs.
Fr. Panel Button Select “Enable” for normal operation, “Delay” to operate only after a
one-second delay, and “Disable” to prevent operation from the front
panel.
