Connection of power supply and relays Contacts of relay outputs are not equipped with spark suppressors. While use the relay outputs for switching of inductive loads (coils, contactors, power relays, electromagnets, motors etc.) it is required to use additional suppression circuit (typically capacitor 47 nF/min.

User manual for meter with thermocouple input PAC-73T 4.4. MAINTENANCE The unit does not have any internal replaceable or adjustable components available to the user. Pay attention to the ambient temperature in the room where the unit is operating. Excessively high temperatures cause faster ageing of the internal components and shorten the fault-free time of unit operation.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION After turning the power supply on, device ID and software version are showed on the display, next the controller goes to the measurement mode. 6.1. MEASUREMENT MODE In the measure mode the measurement results, are displayed on the display. If the result of measurement exceeds the permissible measurement range, warning “-Hi-“...
User manual for meter with thermocouple input PAC-73T Figure 6.1. Process of peaks detection 6.3. CONTROL OF THE RELAY OUTPUTS The control of the object (measured signal) is realized via relay outputs. Front panel LEDs named “R” indicates the state of particular relay output. If device is not equipped with one or more relay outputs, menus refer to this relays are available, but apply to LED indicators only.

Two thresholds control of the relay/LED outputs The relay outputs and LEDs (named R) can be controlled depend on both - the current value and the peak value (when peak detection is active) of the input signal.
User manual for meter with thermocouple input PAC-73T 6.3.1. One threshold mode Figure 6.4 presents the principle of relay outputs operation for one threshold mode, and an example values of other parameters. Description: A, B, C, D - points where measured signal exceeds border values (expected value ± allowed deviation) - relays state changes moments: (for “t on”...
User manual for meter with thermocouple input PAC-73T If t or t (when input signal stay in zone A or zone B) are lower than parameters “t on” or “toFF”, the relay will not change his state (see points A and C, Figure 6.4 a, d, e). The state of relay output while the input value exceeds the border values (points A, B, C, D) is described by parameter “modE”.
User manual for meter with thermocouple input PAC-73T Figure 6.5 presents the principle of relay outputs operation for two thresholds mode, and an example values of other parameters. In this mode parameter “SEt2” is accessible in common with “SEtP”, this parameter describes a second threshold of the relay output. The parameters “HYSt”, “modE”, “t on”, “toFF”, “unit”...

User manual for meter with thermocouple input PAC-73T • If option “noCH” is selected for “AL” parameter, behaviour of the relay may depend on “FiLt” parameter in some cases. If “FiLt” is set to big value and the input signal drops, result value of the measure will change slow, causes of turning on or off relay due to thresholds values.
