■ BUTTONS
Digital display selector (IND): Switches between PV input, CAS input, MV outout; Manual operation ramp rate, Retroactive time period, or Transition amp rate
Manual output switching: CAS (cascade)/MAN (manual) selector ('OUT'); the mode selected before power OFF is recovered when the power is turned on.
Remote output switching: External contact closure switches the ABF3 to MAN mode when the CAS/MAN selector is at CAS position; Not switched with MAN position.
■ FUNCTIONS
Manual status contact: Turns on when manual operation is available
Manual operation ramp rate: 15 sec./100 %. (Add 0.3 sec. for the total time required to go from 0 % to 100 %.) Adjustable up to 30 sec. in 1 sec. increments with front control buttons
Retroactive time period at switching CAS to MAN: 0 sec. plus response time. Adjustable up to 30 sec. in 1 sec. increments with front control buttons
When the loop has been turned to MAN control with remote outputs switching command, the MV output goes back by the preset time period and holds the output.
Ramp rate at switching MAN to CAS: 1 sec./100 %. Adjustable up to 30 sec. in 1 sec. increments with front control buttons
If the CAS control value at the moment of switching from MAN to CAS mode is deviated from the MV output value in MAN control, the ABF3 adjusts the difference gradually in the preset ramp rate.
Receiving MAN command during transition ramp period, the ABF3 turns to MAN mode after transition ramp function is completed.
Isolation: PV input to CAS input to MV output to MAN status contact output to remote output switching command input to power
(For /T option, non-isolated between CAS input and MV output)
