RELAY OUTPUTS
HD45…R models have one relay output, that can be associated to one of the quantities measured
by the instrument. The potential free contact output is preset to close when the measurement
value exceeds the threshold limit, and to open when the measurement value falls below the
threshold limit minus the hysteresis. The relay is bistable type: in case of no power supply, the
relay contact holds its last position.
Thresholds and hysteresis can be configured. The relay can be configured to operate with one or two
thresholds. The relay contact can also be set to close when a measurement error occurs, for
example in case of a sensor fault or of an over range measure.
In HD45 17…R and HD45 7B…R models, the relay is factory associated with temperature,
whereas in HD45 B…R models, it is factory associated with CO2 measurement.
The relay can be used in two modes:
• Simplified mode: the relay functions with a single threshold, that can be selected from a series of
fixed values via a rotary switch.
• Complete mode: the relay may function with one or two thresholds custom-settable via a PC.
Toggling between the two modes is made by means of a rotary switch placed on the instrument
electric board, between the terminal board and the mini-USB connector.
If switch is in position 0 (default setting), the instrument is in complete mode and operates with
thresholds and hysteresis set via software, which has the following default settings:
Temperature (HD45 17…R and HD45 7B…R) CO2(HD45 B…R)
Threshold = 100.0 °C Threshold = 1000 ppm
Hysteresis = 5.0 °C Hysteresis = 100 ppm
If switch is in a position other than zero, the instrument is in simplified mode: the relay activates
only on the threshold set with the rotary switch. Depending if the relay is associated with CO2 or
temperature measurement, each switch position corresponds to a threshold according to table
below: POSITION CO2THRESHOLD (ppm) TEMPERATURE THRESHOLD (°C)
0 Rotary switch disabled Rotary switch disabled
1 600 18.0
2 800 23.0
3 900 28.0
4 1000 33.0
5 1200 38.0
6 1400 43.0
7 1600 48.0
8 1800 53.0
9 2000 58.0
If switch is in a position other than zero, hysteresis is preset to 100 ppm for the CO2 measurement
and to 5.0°C for temperature. Hysteresis and activation mode can be changed via PC connection.
For temperature, threshold 1 value and the fixed interval between succeeding positions can be
changed.
The relay can be associated with humidity, and threshold 1 value along with switch fixed interval can
be specified.
