1. INTRODUCTION
This document provides information on the specification, installation and operation of the MRD RelayDoc and
RelayDoc-HV automatic relay testers. The differences between the two models are very slight: in this
document “RelayDoc” means either model, unless the RelayDoc-HV is specifically mentioned.
The standard RelayDoc configuration is suitable for testing variants of BR930 Relays (a.k.a. Q-Style), including:
•Single & Twin Coil Relays
•Heavy Contact Relays
•Current Relays.
The RelayDoc can be custom built to suit other common industrial relays.
2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
MODEL IDENTIFICATION
The original RelayDoc tests Relays requiring a supply voltage <50V DC.
RelayDoc-HV production commenced in July 2016. RelayDoc-HV tests
relays requiring a supply voltage <130V DC. It is otherwise identical to the
original RelayDoc, including embedded Application and Web Server.
RelayDoc and RelayDoc-HV are externally identical, and run the same
software. To identify your model, inspect the Serial Number tag. If the tag
includes hardware version, and the hardware version is C1 or higher, it is
a RelayDoc-HV. See sample tags at right.
FUNCTION
RelayDoc automates the process of Relay Testing, and the recording and management of Test Reports.
A Test Profile is stored for each unique Relay Type. The profile specifies the method for the individual tests
listed below. When a Relay is inserted, RelayDoc:
•Identifies the relay type using pin configuration
•Identifies the apparent contact configuration (normally open and normally closed contacts)
•Attempts to match the Relay to a stored Profile, and requests user confirmation if none or more than
one match is found
•Requests selection of the correct Coil Resistance if more than one option exists
The RelayDoc stores one default Relay Test Process, which is restored at Power ON. The Default Test Process is
changeable within usage sessions, selecting from the following tests:
•Coil Resistance
•Contact Conditioning (cannot be stored as default)
•Contact Resistance
•Contact Switching Time
•Operating Voltage and Current
•Release Voltage and Current
Test Reports can be stored and viewed locally, or copied to a remote server. RelayDoc uses a built-in Web
Server to enable remote examination and control of the device and stored report.

4. INSTALLATION
OPTIONS
4.1.1 Wall mount
MRD recommends permanent installation of the RelayDoc, and the enclosure is easily wall mounted. The
enclosure includes four concealed mounting points, suitable for fasteners of thread diameter ≤5mm, Head
diameter ≤8mm.
•To access the mounting points, pry the left and
right hand snap-fitted covers from the front
panel
•Screw holes are spaced 262mm horizontally
and 120mm vertically as shown right
•Ensure sufficient clearance below the
RelayDoc to connect cables
•Minimise interference when changing relays;
Ensure sufficient clearance from walls or
shelves
•The device should be mounted at eye level,
typically 140-160cm above floor level.
Note: Relays must be retained in the base using the wire clip provided.
4.1.2 Portable usage
The RelayDoc contains electronic assemblies, and an exposed LCD screen. The enclosure is a robust product,
made from aluminium. There are no moving parts.
The RelayDoc has a nominal protection rating of IP30.
•Do not expose the RelayDoc to liquids: The device is not water resistant.
•Drops, vibration, or rough handling may damage the RelayDoc.
•External ports and switches must be protected from damage and contamination from dust and dirt.
MRD recommends using a shock-resistance carry case if the RelayDoc is moved frequently. Contact MRD to
arrange the supply of a suitable case.
4.1.3 Bar Code Reader
A bar code reader can be connected to the USB port, to capture the
serial number of equipment under test (EUT).
The data can be sent to an active Serial Number text box.

5. SETUP
AUTOMATIC CONFIGURATIONS
When RelayDoc can connect to the Internet or a Local Network, it will attempt several upgrades.
5.1.1 IP Address
When an Ethernet Cable is plugged in, RelayDoc will try to obtain an IP address by sending a DHCP request.
RelayDoc will revert to any previously saved Static IP if an IP address is not assigned after three attempts.
5.1.2 Profile updates
5.1.2.1 Internet connected devices
If RelayDoc has access to the MRD Web Server unapplied Profile
Updates will be detected, and RelayDoc will prompt the operator.
•Touch “Yes” to download and install updates
•Touch “No” to ignore
5.1.2.2 Profile updates from USB
RelayDoc supports Profile updates from USB storage. When a USB
Device is connected, RelayDoc will scan for
\relaydoc_upgrade\profile\profile_updates.txt in the root directory. If
found, the user will be prompted to update the profile.
5.1.3 Application upgrades
The RelayDoc Application software can be updated from the Internet or USB device, noting:
•Usually, only the application only is updated
•Occasionally, the firmware will also be automatically upgraded
•Full system upgrades are completed using the Web Server, as described in Section 8.10.
5.1.3.1 Internet connected devices
If RelayDoc has access to the MRD Web Server unapplied Application
Updates will be detected, and RelayDoc will prompt the operator to
update.
5.1.3.2 Application updates from USB
RelayDoc supports Application updates from USB storage. When a
USB Device is connected, RelayDoc will scan for update files in
root\\:relaydoc_upgrade\application\. If found, the user will be
prompted to update the application.
5.1.4 Report upload to RelayDoc Web Server
Relay Doc supports the HTTP/HTTPS protocol for data interface. If RelayDoc is connected to the internet, and it
is configured to upload the report, the test reports will be automatically uploaded to the MRD Cloud Server.
Uploaded reports are in JSON format, including the test report data and an array of test detailed results data.
5.1.5 Calibration Report upload to RelayDoc Web Server
The most recent Calibration Report is uploaded to the RelayDoc Web Server when internet is available.
