1. How to use this documentation effectively
In order to make it easier for you to find specific text passages or refer-
ences in this manual and for reasons of comprehensibility, important in-
formation is emphasized by symbols. The meaning of these symbols is
explained below:
TGH1405en/03.2010 5
How to use this documentation effectively
For detailed information about the preset function and other voltage
ranges refer to page 10, page 41 provides a summary of all factory set-
tings.
If you want to reset the voltage monitors to factory settings, refer to
page 37.

3. Function
3.2 Function
Once the nominal voltage is applied, the starting delay "t" is activated.
Measured values changing during this time do not influence the switch-
ing state of the alarm relays.
The devices provide two separately adjustable measuring channels (ov-
ervoltage/undervoltage). When the measuring quantity exceeds the re-
sponse value (ALARM 1) or falls below the response value (ALARM 2),
the time of the response delays "ton 1/2" begins. After the expiry of the
TGH1405en/03.2010 9
Function
response delay, the alarm relays switch and the alarm LEDs light. If the
measuring quantity exceeds or does not reach the release value (re-
sponse value plus hysteresis) after the alarm relays have switched, the
selected release delay begins "toff". After the expiry of "toff", the alarm
relays switch back to their initial position. With the fault memory acti-
vated, the alarm relays remain in alarm state until the reset button R is
pressed. Also in the event of complete power failure of the system being
monitored, the delay times are effective during the energy backup dis-
charging time.
10 TGH1405en/03.2010
Function
If the measured voltage is not within the preset operating range listed
in the table, the message "AL not Set" appears on the display. Therefore
it is necessary to set the response values for Alarm 1 (AL1) and Alarm 2
(AL2) manually. A detailed description of the process is given in the
chapter "parameter setting.
After resetting the device values to its factory settings, the preset func-
tion is automatically active again.
During operation, the preset function can be started manually via the
menu SEt.

Parameter settings
An example is given below on how to change the alarm response value
for overvoltage > U. Proceed as follows:
1. Press the MENU/Enter key for more than 1.5 seconds. The flashing short
symbol AL appears on the display.
2. Confirm with Enter. The parameter undervoltage
< U is flashing.
3. Press the Down key to select the parameter overvoltage > U. The
parameter > U flashes.
4. Confirm with Enter. A blinking "on" indicates that the response value
> U is being activated.
5. Confirm the activation of the response value with Enter. The associated
value in V appears on a flashing display.
6. Use the Up or Down key to set the appropriate response value. Confirm
with Enter. > U flashes.
7. You can exit the menu by:
Pressing the Enter key for more than 1.5 seconds to reach the next
higher level or
selecting the menu item ESC and confirming with Enter to reach the
next higher level.
