Specific description:
Single channel operation
Input circuit has no redundant design and can detect ground faults in the start-up circuit and input circuit.
Dual-channel operation
1. Short circuit detection between contacts (selectable according to actual situation)
2. Redundant input circuit is adopted to detect ground fault of start circuit and input circuit, as well as short circuit of input circuit and monitored start circuit.
3. Short circuit detection between contacts with short circuit detection between contacts: Based on the above functions, a short circuit detection function between the input circuit contacts has been added.
Startup mode
1. Automatic start: When the input circuit is closed, the unit is directly activated.
2. Manual start: The unit is activated only when the input circuit and the start circuit are closed at the same time.
