REGARD Relay Module & Relay Display Card (ATEX version) FOR YOUR SAFETY Follow the instructions Follow the instructions for installation, operation and maintenance. Use in areas subject to explosion hazards The relay module and relay display card are not designed for use in a flammable atmosphere without suitable protection.
REGARD Relay Module & Relay Display Card (ATEX version) CE marking and ATEX marking Regard cards and modules are CE marked to indicate conformity with the essential requirements of the “ATEX” Directive 94/9/EC: 0518 The number after the CE mark is the number of the Notified Body involved the production control phase.
REGARD • Additional common and voted alarm relays for a system comprising any combination of channel cards. • A1, A2, A3 and/or Fault relays for each channel of a Regard HART card or eight- channel display card. NOTE Neither A3 alarms nor use with the Regard 'HART' card are included in the scope of the EC-type examination certificate DMT 02 ATEX G 002 X.
REGARD Relay Module & Relay Display Card (ATEX version) Display card front panel controls and indicators Display Display normally shows the state of each alarm relay in sequence. When a relay is in its alarm state, only relays in alarm are displayed.
REGARD Relay Module & Relay Display Card (ATEX version) Controls Function of front panel controls during normal operation: Push button Result Note Display relay latch mode E.g. 001:LACK Display relay energise mode E.g. 023:ENER Display relay operating mode E.g. 002:SA1...
REGARD Relay Module & Relay Display Card (ATEX version) Operational faults An operation fault is a failure in the operation of either the relay display card or the relay module. Operational faults are either: • critical – card may stop working, or •...
REGARD Relay Module & Relay Display Card (ATEX version) In the situation where multiple faults occur consecutively, the first fault to occur will be displayed. When that is cleared subsequent faults may be displayed if they are unaffected by the clearing of prior faults.
Handle circuit boards with care during installation. Do not touch the circuit boards or components. Use of the relay modules and relay display card requires a Regard master card. All Regard channel cards (e.g. 4-20, Ex, HART, 8-channel) must be connected to the same RS-485 bus as the relay display card and the master card.

Labels show function of relay when de-energised: EMC! Use screened cable for connections to relays Connect DC supply to modules Connect 24V DC supply to terminals marked 24V and 0V.
REGARD Relay Module & Relay Display Card (ATEX version) Switch-on and initial checks Switch on DC supply to the relay display card and the relay module(s). Check that the Power LED on the relay display card and relay modules are lit.
REGARD Relay Module & Relay Display Card (ATEX version) CONFIGURATION Command mode Configuration and maintenance of the display card is performed using front panel controls and display, by setting the card into command mode. Command mode is entered by pressing and holding the Reset button for about 5 seconds.
Before configuring relay display card ensure that the other components of the Regard system are correctly configured: • Set operation of Regard master card and channel cards (4-20, Ex, HART, 8- channel, etc.) • Regard Master card must be configured to communicate with all channel cards that will control alarms on relay module(s).

REGARD Relay Module & Relay Display Card (ATEX version) Set relay latch/acknowledge operation Determines the operation of a relay when the alarm condition clears or when the relay alarm is acknowledged. WARNING – when a relay latch mode is set to ACK or LACK, a tripped relay can be cleared even though an alarm condition may still be present.
