D0100 Arc Detecting Relay

for 4-0V DC battery supply

For use with:

· A0200

· A0300

· D0400

· D0500

· D0700

The D0100 is a detecting relay which can

monitor up to 16 arc detectors in parallel

through D0400 or D0500 Junction Boxes.

In case of an arcing fault, the relay gen-

erates a fast tripping pulse, less than

1msec., to the circuit breaker(s) supply-

ing the installation. The arcing time is

thus reduced to the mechanical opening

time of the circuit breaker, The relay is

solid state with complete isolation be-

tween input and output. Thus the relay

and the circuit breaker may have differ-

ent pilot voltages.

The TEST-position on the relay is used

to test the tripping without opening the

circuit breaker. The 2 free signal contacts

is for remote indication of arcing fault

trip and indication for absence of pilot

voltage - or for indication of the TEST-

function is activated.

The sensitivity to light is adjustable on

the front plate SENS.ADJ knob within

1-12mA. The range is 2.000-24.000lux

enabling you to use the sensors under

different light conditions, indoor light,

sunlight etc.

The preset is 6mA/12.000lux.

Arc-fault Protection

D0400 Junction Box

For use with:

· D0100

· D0900

· A0200

· A0300

The D0400 is for connection of up to 8

detectors in parallel without indication.

D0900 Arc Detecting Relay

for AC supply

For use with:

· D0400

· A0200

· A0300

The D0900 is a detecting relay which can

monitor up to 16 arc detectors in parallel

through D0400 Junction Box.

In case of an arcing fault, the relay gen-

erates a fast tripping pulse, less than 1

mSec., to the circuit breaker(s) supply-

ing the installation. The arcing time is

thus reduced to the mechanical opening

time of the circuit breaker, The relay is

solid state with complete isolation be-

tween input and output.

The relay has energy stored in a storage

capacitor charged with a DC voltage to

trip the circuit breaker.

The TEST-position on the relay is used

to test the tripping without opening the

circuit breaker. The 2 free signal con-

tacts are for remote indication of arcing

fault trip and indication for absence of

pilot voltage - or for indication of the

TEST-function is activated. Both contacts

are activated after tripping as the relay

normally disconnects its own supply

voltage.

The sensitivity to light is adjustable on
the front plate SENS.ADJ knob within
1-12mA. The range is 2.000-24.000lux
enabling use of sensors under different
light conditions, indoor light, sunlight etc.
The preset is 6mA/12.000lux.

A000/A000 Detector

For use with:

· D0100

· D0900

· D0400

· D0500

The A0200/A0300 both reacts on light

and is available with 180º or 360º charac-

teristic. To be installed in each cubicle/

drawer and should be shielded from

normal switching arcs. Detectors are

supplied with 5m, 10m or 15m of cable

and a mounting bracket.
