Hydrastep 2468CB and 2468CD Manual Delay Relay Output Board Option
24685034
3b-11
3B.3.2 ALARM AND TRIPPING FACILITIES
The relay boards provide high and low water level alarm and trip facilities for the 2468
Hydrastep system. Four to eight relays can be made available for each input board fitted.
3b.3.2.1 Philosophy
A requirement in regulations concerning steam raising plant is the provision of an automatic
low water level shut-down or trip device. In the 2468 Hydrastep the relay output board
provides the required output signals for such devices.
In practical applications of shut-down systems two factors must be considered, the
consequences of spurious trips and the non-availability of a trip when required, due to
protection system faults.
The following relay output circuits are specific to the 2468 Hydrastep Level Indicator
versions.
3b.3.2.2 Relay Interconnections for Alarm/Tripping Systems
It is necessary to open the Hydrastep 2468 Electronic Enclosure to carry out any wiring,
therefore care must be taken when working inside the unit.
WARNING Mains voltages are present in this instrument when power
is connected. De-energise before opening front cover.
Note: Before any relay interconnections are made it is necessary to fulfil any safety
regulations governing the plant shutdown procedures.
Since one input board receives inputs from the odd numbered electrodes and the other input
board receives inputs from the even numbered electrodes, interconnections between odd
and even relay boards will be required.
The following are examples of relay configurations used.
