The operating mode of the SDS when an external AC contactor is installed is as follows:
When either the SDS relays or the AC contactor is enabled (programmed to close), the SDS checks
l
to see if the AC contactor is presently open (DInput-3 and DInput-4 shorted).
If the digital input is shorted, the SDS relays and the contactor can be enabled and disabled.
l
If the digital input is open without the contactor being enabled, the SDS goes into SDP protection.
l
If the digital input opens after the contactor is enabled via the front panel or a SCPI command, the
l
SDS relays can be enabled or disabled.
The SDS contactor-check will reset when both the SDS relays and the contactor are disabled.
l
The command processing time is much faster than the time it takes to change the
relay state of the contactor. If you quickly send an AC contactor enable command,
then an off command, and then another on command, the digital input could read
an open causing the unit to go into protect.
