Service Manual Type MVTU Definite Time Delayed Relays HANDLING OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT A person's normal movements can easily generate electrostatic potentials of several thousand volts. Discharge of these voltages into semiconductor devices when handling electronic circuits can cause serious damage, which often may not be immediately apparent but the reliability of the circuit will have been reduced.

Before energising the equipment it must be earthed using the protective earth terminal, or the appropriate termination of the supply plug in the case of plug connected equipment. Omitting or disconnecting the equipment earth may cause a safety hazard. The recommended minimum earth wire size is 2.5 mm , unless otherwise stated in the technical data section of the product documentation.

Older Products Electrical adjustments Equipments which require direct physical adjustments to their operating mechanism to change current or voltage settings, should have the electrical power removed before making the change, to avoid any risk of electric shock. Mechanical adjustments The electrical power to the relay contacts should be removed before checking any mechanical settings, to avoid any risk of electric shock.
Technical Specifications Protective fuse rating The recommended maximum rating of the external protective fuse for this equipment is 16A, Red Spot type or equivalent, unless otherwise stated in the technical data section of the product documentation. Insulation class: IEC 61010-1: 1990/A2: 1995 This equipment requires a Class I protective (safety) earth...
Section 1. DESCRIPTION OF SETTINGS Voltage settings The setting voltage is determined by the positions of the six dual-in-line switches. The sum of all the voltages shown by each respective switch position and the constant value gives the required setting voltage. For example, an MVTU 11 with the switches set to the position shown corresponds to a setting of 32 + 26 = 58V ac.

Section 3. INSTALLATION Precautions Protective relays, although generally of robust construction, require careful treatment prior to installation and a wise selection of site. By observing a few simple rules the possibility of premature failure is eliminated and a high degree of performance can be expected.
Section 4. COMMISSIONING TESTS Note: Earlier relays were fitted with hand reset mechanical flag indicators, later relays being fitted with a non-volatile hand reset LED trip indicator. CAUTION: If a flag indicator is fitted, damage is likely to be incurred if the flag indicator/ armature assembly of a miniature relay is actuated manually with a screwdriver/ probe.

Repeat the test for each of the settings shown in Table 1. The allowable errors on the voltage settings are ±2% on the lowest setting and ±4% on all other settings (no allowance has been made for instrument errors). The drop-off value should be within 5% of the pick-up value.

Section 5. MAINTENANCE Periodic maintenance is not necessary. However, periodic inspection and test is recommended. Visual inspection Isolate all supplies and withdraw the module from the case using the two black handles on the relay. Inspect the printed circuit board for any sign of loose components or connections.
General procedure and precautions Care must be taken when making test connections to printed circuit boards to avoid short circuiting or damaging the copper tracks. Before connecting or disconnecting any test equipment the relay must be isolated from the supply. Relevant schematic diagrams MVTU 11 –...

To gain access to the flag assembly, to replace parts or check the settings, it is necessary to dismantle the module. Once access to the flag assembly, mounted on the front plate of the relay, has been gained, adopt the following procedure: Remove the screw holding the side plate to the top plate and remove the side plate.
