Timer
Once activated, the Timer activates the START output. Depending on the value of the
set Operating curve type, the time characteristics are selected according to DT or
IDMT.
For a detailed description of the voltage IDMT curves, see the
curves for overvoltage protection
When the operation timer has reached the value set by Operate delay time in the DT
mode or the maximum value defined by the IDMT, the OPERATE output is activated.
When the user-programmable IDMT curve is selected, the operate time
characteristics are defined by the parameters Curve parameter A, Curve parameter B,
Curve parameter C, Curve parameter D and Curve parameter E.
If a drop-off situation occurs, that is, a fault suddenly disappears before the operate
delay is exceeded, the reset state is activated. The behavior in the drop-off situation
depends on the selected operate time characteristics. If the DT characteristics are
selected, the reset timer runs until the set Reset delay time value is exceeded. If the
drop-off situation exceeds the set Reset delay time, the Timer is reset and the START
output is deactivated.
When the IDMT operate time curve is selected, the functionality of the Timer in the
drop-off state depends on the combination of the Type of reset curve, Type of time reset
and Reset delay time settings.
