April, 2006 - Buffalo Grove, Illinois - Carlo Gavazzi has announced the introduction of the DIB01CM Series, a new current monitoring relay with an 8 amp Form C contact output. The built-in current transformer, with 12mm through-hole, provides a means to save panel space and reduce wiring time, thus minimizing the total cost, space and connection time. It is constructed in a compact 22.5mm wide housing, which is 80mm tall and 100mm deep.
The DIB01CM features three adjustable settings: one for the setpoint (2-20, 5-50 or 10-100A), one for the hysteresis level and the last one for the 0.1-30 second time delay. You can also select from one of two power on delays, either 1 second or 6 seconds to avoid nuisance tripping upon start up, ie a motor being started. The DIB01CM also offers the option of latching or non-latching upon reaching the set point. It can also be set up for under current or over current sensing and normally energized or de-energized output.
The DIB01CM is powered by 24 to 240VAC or 24VDC. The DIB01 also features three diagnostic LEDs: A green LED for ‘Supply On’, a red LED for an alarm condition (which flashes during the time delay), and a yellow LED which indicates when the output relay is on. The DIB01CM is ideal in applications where one is attempting to monitor for over or under current of an industrial load, such as AC fractional motors, heating elements, etc.
