Do you face such issues?

· Unreliable performance because of poor quality of power supply
· Equipment downtime and lost productivity due to motor failure
These issues are usually caused by common phase issues below:
Phase loss Total loss of one of the three phases due to blown fuse, open power line, loose connections... Incorrect phase sequence Two phases in a three-phase system have been swapped hence causing the motor to run in the reverse direction. Asymmetry One or more of the line-to-line voltages in a three-phase system are mismatched. Undervoltage When the average voltage of a three-phase power system falls below intended levels. Overvoltage When the supply voltage rises above the rated voltage of the motor. In general, all these issues can cause the current drawn by the motor to increase. This generates heat that deteriorates the motor insulation and damages the motor rapidly.
Control Relay is the best protection against these issues!

L1 L2 L3

CONTACTOR

· Designed for monitoring the temperature in elevator machine rooms, in compliance with directive EN81
· Independent adjustment of high (34...46°C) and low (-1...11 °C) thresholds
· If the temperature monitored by the PT100 probe remains between the two thresholds set on the front panel, the output relay is closed
· When the temperature crosses one of the threshold settings on the front panel (high or low threshold), the time delay set on the front panel is activated. The yellow LED corresponding to the threshold crossed (low or high) flashes.
· At the end of the time delay, if the temperature is still outside the threshold setting, the output relay opens and the yellow LED goes out.
· The output relay closes instantly when the temperature returns within the window of the two threshold settings on the front panel plus (undertemperature) or minus (overtemperature) the fixed hysteresis.
· If the PT100 probe is incorrectly wired (missing or short-circuited) the relay is open and the 3 LEDs flash to alert users

3 phase set up, <10A
Page 13

· RM35BA10 can operate on a 1-phase (230 V ac) or 3-phase supply (208...480 Vac)
· Overcurrent and undercurrent values are set by two separate potentiometers, graduated from 1 to 10 A
· If a setting error occurs (e.g. low threshold greater than high threshold during double control mode), output relay opens and all the LEDs flash to signal the error
· If a current fault occurs (overcurrent or undercurrent), the relay opens when the fault persists for longer than the threshold time delay setting
· When current returns to correct value, output relay remain open. It can only be re-energized by a RESET: either by switching off the power (double control mode) or by closing external contact Y2 (in single control mode)
· An inhibition time delay on energization allows detection of current peaks on motor starting
Double control mode: control a pump via two external control signals Y1 and Y2
Single control mode: control a pump via an external signal Y1; Y2 can be used to reset the relay after a current fault

Monitor the levels of conductive/non-conductive liquids (Pumps, Food processing, Pharmaceutical...)

Liquid level monitoring

Challenge

Accurate liquid level control through filling or/and emptying to protect pumps against dry running,

overflow protection in tanks, control dosing of liquids in mixing processes and to help protect heating

elements in the event of non-immersion.

Solution

· Selector switches on the front panel allows selection of the sensitivity range, empty or fill function, number of
levels (1/2) and type of time delay

· Operating principle is based on measurement of the apparent resistance of the liquid between two submerged probes. When this value is less than the threshold setting on the front panel of the device, the relay changes state

RM22L* RM35LM*

RM35LV*

Detection by resistive probes

Detection by discrete sensors

L1 L2 L3 N

· To avoid electrolytic phenomena, an AC current runs across the probes
E.g. Control of two levels, empty and fill functions
Emptying function
· Output relay stays open until the liquid reaches the Max. level probe. As soon as the Max. level is reached, the contact closes and then allows emptying of the tank When the level drops below the Min level, the contact opens to stop the emptying process

Filling function

CONTACTOR

Max
Min C

· Output relay stays energized until the liquid reaches the Max. level probe. As soon as the Max. level is reached, the contact opens and the pump stops. When the level drops below the Min. level, the contact closes again and pumping restarts to raise the level

Control of a single level can be achieved by using the second selector switch. In this case, the Max. level probe stays up in the air and an adjustable time delay avoids any wave effect

Internal

Monitors frequency variations on 50/60 Hz AC supplies (Wind turbines, Generator...)

Frequency monitoring
Challenge Avoid risk of a system collapse due to frequency instability (especially when wind power penetration is high and system inertia is low in wind turbines) Solution

RM35HZ21FM
L1 L2 L3 N
CONTACTOR

· Under-frequency or over-frequency threshold values are set using two graduated potentiometers indicating the variation value of the frequency to be monitored.
· A switch x1/x2 allows the control scale to be doubled. Hysteresis is fixed at 0.3 Hz
Overfrequency
· If frequency of the voltage controlled exceeds the over-frequency threshold setting for a time greater than time delay, the corresponding output relay opens and its LED goes off.
· As soon as the frequency drops below the value of the threshold setting, minus the hysteresis, the relay instantly closes for no memory mode
Underfrequency
If the frequency of the voltage controlled falls below the under-frequency threshold setting for a time greater than time delay, the corresponding output relay opens and its LED goes out
· As soon as the frequency rises above the value of the threshold setting, plus the hysteresis, the relay instantly closes for no memory mode
If "Memory" mode is selected, the relay opens after the time delay and stays in that position when crossing of the threshold is detected. The power needs to be switched off to reset the product

Internal

Monitoring speed or rate of rotary or linear movements (Packaging, Material handling...)

Speed monitoring

Challenge

If a conveyor experience unwanted slowdown, rapid speed or complete stoppage, the results could be disastrous as machine could be damaged and led to costly process downtime

Solution

· RM35S0MW monitors underspeed or overspeed of a process using discrete sensors

· The cycle of the process being monitored is a series of impulses characterized by a two-state signal: high and low

· The speed is obtained by measuring the period of this signal, from the detection of first change of state (either rising or
falling edge)

RM35S0MW
S2 Inhib. - Reset

Volt-free contact input

Namur proximity sensor input

· To allow the process being monitored to reach its nominal operating speed on energization, relay is inhibited by starting inhibition time delay (Ti) or closing of S2
Inhibition keeps the output relay in the closed position and is signaled by illumination of the inhibition LED. It last as long as it is necessary for the product to detect at least 2 periods
When the signal has not been `characterized' by the end of the inhibition period, the inhibition LED flashes for as long as speed measurement is impossible

Underspeed

0-30 V voltage input

3-wire PNP or NPN proximity sensor input

At the end of Ti, as soon as the speed measured drops below the threshold setting, the output relay open. It returns to its initial state when the speed is again higher than the threshold plus hysteresis for no memory mode
Overspeed

S1

At the end of Ti, as soon as the speed measured is higher than

the threshold setting, the output relay open. It returns to its initial

state when the speed is again lower than the threshold plus

hysteresis for no memory mode

If "Memory" mode is selected, the output relay stays in the open state, irrespective of any further changes in the process speed. It will not be able to return to the closed state until contact S2 closes (at least 50 ms)

Terminologies

· Positive logic Relay output energized in normal situation; de-energized in abnormal situation · Negative logic Relay output are de-energized in normal situation; energized in abnormal situation · Self powered No need for auxiliary voltage to power the control relay. Energy is obtained directly from the line that the control relay is monitoring · Without memory Relay output will return to the initial state when fault condition(s) is removed · With memory Relay output will maintain the last state after triggered. User needs to power off the device to reset · Hysteresis Refers to "a range" or "bandwidth" . In the case of our control relays, it can be considered as the threshold for the reset function. The hysteresis is necessary for the relay to avoid nuisance tripping. · Window mode Relay checks that the controlled value stays between minimum and a maximum threshold
