Page 24: Operation
USER’S MANUAL OPERATION As a test instrument, you basically use the PTE-100-C PRO to adjust and apply some electrical magnitudes to the tested device and to measure its response time or other test results. Directions to use the features described in the previous section are given here. - Page 25 3. Use the button to identify the used tap to the instrument. The PTE-100-C PRO does not detect the current tap you are using, unless you ‘flag’ it using the TAP button. Some measurement and protective functions will not work if the green LED under the used tap is not lit.
-
Page 26: Overload Protection
USER’S MANUAL If more than one current or voltage tap is connected to a receiver, the readings at Display #2 will be meaningless. Overload protection If injected current exceeds by more than 10% the limit printed above the used tap, the output will be stopped automatically. The ON/OFF LED will then blink and the maximum output current value (or percentage) will be held in Display #2. -
Page 27: Auxiliary Power
Auxiliary electronics are not dimensioned nor calculated for big power values. The PTE-100-C PRO features two auxiliary voltage outputs: one variable 0-250 VDC (Out 3) and one fixed 110 VAC voltage (Out 4). -
Page 28: Out 4 Fixed Ac Auxiliary Supply
The power output will be stopped automatically upon tripping, too, and the applied current or voltage and resulting operation time will be displayed and hold by Display #2 and Display #1 respectively. This is how the PTE-100-C PRO works essentially. - Page 29 Out 2 accordingly until a beep is heard to lock it to Display 4. Connect the relay’s trip contact to the PTE-100-C PRO’s dry (black/green) monitor input. This is for dry contact monitoring. If you are detecting relay operation by means of a contact that is un- der voltage, use the black and red connectors instead.
-
Page 30: The Monitor Input
The PTE-100-C PRO will simulate the presence of a circuit breaker by means of its trip monitor, that will automatically stop both the timer and the power output when the relay operates, thus completing the fault clearance cycle. -
