voltage monitor relays
PRODUCT SUMMARY
Voltage Monitor Relays monitor either AC single phase (50-60Hz) or DC voltages to protect equipment against voltage
fault conditions. No separate supply (input) voltage is required on any Macromatic Voltage Monitor Relay since each
unit is powered by monitored voltage. Versions are available in either a compact plug-in case utilizing an 8 pin octal
socket or a 17.5mm DIN Rail mounted case.
Macromatic offers two styles of Voltage Monitor Relays:
Over/Under Voltage Relays-provides protection to equipment
where either an over or under voltage condition is potentially
damaging. When used as an under voltage relay, they provide
protection to equipment that is required to operate above a
minimum voltage. When used as over voltage relays, they
protect equipment against excessive voltage conditions.
Over/Under Voltage Relays are designed to energize when the
monitored voltage reaches a preset value (Umax) and drop-out
when the monitored voltage drops to a level below the preset value
(Umin).
Voltage Band Relays-provides protection to equipment that is
required to operate within an upper and lower voltage limit. As
long as the monitored voltage remains within an OVER (Umax)
and UNDER voltage (Umin) range, the internal relay stays energized. If the monitored voltage falls outside this range, the relay will
drop-out.
These products are summarized below:

Over/Under Voltage Relays provide protection to equipment where an over or
under voltage condition is potentially damaging. They are designed to energize
when the operating voltage reaches a preset value and drop-out when the
operating voltage drops to a level below the preset value.
The pick-up voltage setting (Umax) is user-adjustable across the full range as
shown in the table below. The VMP Series has a drop-out voltage setting (Umin)
xed at 95% of the pick-up voltage setting (an adjustable drop-out setting of 7595% of the pick-up setting is available on the VAKP Series). The relay energizes
(and the LED is Red) when the monitored voltage is above the pick-up setting
for a period longer than the xed pick-up time delay of 0.5 seconds. The relay
de-energizes (and the LED is Green) when the monitored voltage is below the
drop-out setting for a period longer than the drop-out time delay (t), which is xed
at 0.5 seconds.
