5.1 Mounting
Figure 2: DIN Rail Installation
This image shows a side view of the Walfront CHLT-63 protector, highlighting its compatibility with a 35mm DIN rail. The text overlay confirms the installation method: "Installation: Approx. 35mm x 1.4in DIN rail."
- Locate a suitable 35mm DIN rail within your electrical panel.
- Align the protector's mounting clips with the DIN rail.
- Press firmly until the device clicks securely into place on the rail.
5.2 Wiring
Figure 3: Wiring Terminals
This angled view of the Walfront CHLT-63 protector clearly shows the input (IN) and output (OUT) terminals. The terminals are labeled for Neutral (N) and three phases (L1, L2, L3) at both the top (IN) and bottom (OUT) of the device, indicating where the main power supply and protected load should be connected.
- Identify the input (IN) and output (OUT) terminals on the device. The input terminals are typically at the top, labeled N, L1, L2, L3 IN. The output terminals are at the bottom, labeled N, L1, L2, L3 OUT.
- Connect the incoming 3-phase power supply (Neutral, L1, L2, L3) to the corresponding IN terminals.
- Connect the load (the circuit or equipment to be protected) to the corresponding OUT terminals.
- Ensure all connections are secure and properly tightened to prevent loose contacts and overheating.
- Double-check all wiring before restoring power.
6. Operation
6.1 Powering On and Real-time Monitoring
Once installed and wired, restore power to the circuit. The device will power on, and the digital display screens will show the real-time voltage and current for each phase (L1, L2, L3).
Figure 4: Real-time Display and Responsiveness
This image shows the Walfront CHLT-63 protector with its digital displays active, showing voltage and current readings for all three phases. The accompanying text highlights its "Responsive, quick response speed" and "Automatic reset to prevent long time power failure," indicating its operational efficiency.
- The top row of displays indicates voltage (V) for L1, L2, and L3.
- The bottom row of displays indicates current (A) for L1, L2, and L3.
- Observe these readings to ensure the system is operating within normal parameters.
6.2 Setting Protection Parameters
The device allows you to set specific thresholds for overvoltage, undervoltage, and power-off times. Refer to Figure 1 for button identification.
- Press the Menu key (M) to enter the settings mode.
- Use the Adjustment keys (Up/Down) to navigate through the different parameters (e.g., Overvoltage Setting Value, Undervoltage Setting, Power Off Time).
- When the desired parameter is displayed, press the Menu key (M) again to select it for editing.
- Use the Adjustment keys (Up/Down) to change the value.
- Press the Menu key (M) to confirm the new value and move to the next parameter or exit the settings.
- Overvoltage Setting Value: Adjustable from AC230-300V.
- Undervoltage Setting: Adjustable from AC120V-210V.
- Power Off Time (Voltage/Current): Adjustable from 1-600 seconds. This setting determines how long the device waits before cutting power after a fault, and how long it waits before automatically resetting after conditions normalize.
6.3 Protection Function
When the monitored voltage or current exceeds the set thresholds, the protector will automatically cut off the power supply to the load. The corresponding indicator light (e.g., >U for overvoltage) will illuminate.
After the fault condition is resolved and the system returns to normal operating parameters, the device's automatic reset function will restore power to the load after the set power-off time delay. This prevents long-term power failure and ensures system stability.
7. Maintenance
The Walfront CHLT-63 protector is designed for minimal maintenance. However, regular checks can help ensure its longevity and reliable operation.
- Periodic Inspection: Visually inspect the device and its wiring connections periodically for any signs of damage, loose connections, or discoloration.
- Cleaning: If necessary, gently clean the exterior of the device with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure power is disconnected before cleaning.
- Environmental Conditions: Ensure the operating environment remains within the recommended temperature and humidity ranges to prevent premature failure.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Walfront CHLT-63 protector, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | No power supply; incorrect wiring; device fault. | Check incoming power supply. Verify wiring connections. If power is present and wiring is correct, the device may be faulty and require replacement. |
| Power cuts off frequently. | Frequent overvoltage/undervoltage/overcurrent conditions; incorrect protection settings. | Monitor the display for fault indicators. Check the actual voltage and current of your system. Adjust protection thresholds if they are set too sensitively for your application. Investigate the cause of power fluctuations. |
| Display shows incorrect readings. | Loose wiring connections; device fault. | Ensure all wiring terminals are securely tightened. If readings remain inaccurate, the device may be faulty. |
| Device does not reset automatically. | Fault condition persists; automatic reset function disabled (if applicable); device fault. | Ensure the fault condition (overvoltage, etc.) has truly cleared. Check the power-off time setting. If the issue persists, the device may require service or replacement. |
For issues not covered here, or if troubleshooting steps do not resolve the problem, contact qualified personnel or Walfront customer support.
