8.5.3 Test the relay card

In the TEST/MAINT menu, the relay function can be checked.

The relay function can be tested by manually switching the single relays on or off in the FUNCTION TEST menu. Additionally, the current state of the relays can be requested in the RELAY STATUS menu.

TEST/MAINT

OUTPUT SETUP

RELAY INT/EXT

FUNCTION TEST

 

 

 

Sets the relay to on or off.

 

RELAY 1-4

This setting has a higher priority than the current calculated state of the relay so the switching

 

behavior of each relay can be tested independently. The relay will return to the calculated state

 

 

 

 

 

 

upon exiting this menu.

 

 

 

 

 

ALL

Default: OFF

 

Sets Relay 1-4 to on or off.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Default value: HOLD

 

SET OUTMODE

Decides how other members react if they try to read the relay state while the relay card is in the

 

manual relay test. As the state of the relays in the test mode is not based on any calculations

 

 

 

other members reading this state probably have to be informed about this special situation.

 

 

 

There are three settings:

 

 

 

 

 

 

HOLD

Another reading member does not use the current read value but uses the last value before the

 

 

output current card was in the function test mode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ACTIVE

Another reading member uses the current value even when the output current card is in the

 

 

function test mode.

 

 

 

 

 

TRANSFER

The reading member uses an own substitute value for its own output value.

 

 

 

 

RELAY STATUS

Indicates the status for each relay and probe which is read from the relay card. There are three

different states possible:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SENSOR OK

The relay is working fine and the relay card is able to read the data from the probe to set the

 

relay state.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SENSOR MISSING

The relay cannot get data from the probe because the probe is not responding anymore. In this

 

case the relay has the state set in SET TRANSFER in SYSTEM SETUP.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In this case the relay can communicate with the according probe, but this probe has an internal

 

SENSOR FAIL

failure and cannot provide reliable data. In this case the relay has the state set in SYSTEM

 

 

 

SETUP, SET TRANSFER.
