1. Press the gt key next to the option LED indicators to In DRY CONTACT mode the PCI 600 will output a DC voltage to the TIMER STOP terminals to sense the state of dry contacts A change in this dry contact state will stop the timer and turn off the current source This mode requires an external input to the PCI 600 External timer stop input signals are sensed through the TIMER STOP connectors In WET CONTACT mode the PCI 600 will sense an AC or DC voltage applied to the TIMER STOP connectors The OFF state is any voltage from 0 to 10 V ac dc The ON state is any voltage from 24 to 300 V ac dc A change in the Voltage state will stop the timer and turn off the current source This mode requires an external input to the PCI 600 External timer stop input signals are sensed through the TIMER STOP connectors In CURRENT mode an interruption of the PCI 600 current source output CB contact opened will stop the timer and turn off the current source REV 2 PCI 600 USER S MANUAL 2 1 4 External Current Input The PCI 600 s EXT CURRENT input is a 10 ampere AC current meter This built in ampere meter allows the user to monitor an AC current This current input is isolated A typical application for this feature is to measure a Current Transformer CT current ratio The user can set the PCI 600 to output a current through the CT primary input The CT secondary output is measured with the PCI 6002. by Vanguard Instruments Company factory personnel or by an authorized repair service provider Unauthorized modifications can cause safety hazards and will void the manufacturer s warranty REV 2 PCI 600 USER S MANUAL TABLE OF CONTENTS CONVENTIONS USED IN THIS DOCUMENT cseccccessecceceessccecsuenscceeeeeecceseeeeecessegeeessuageeeetseges 1 LO INIRODUCTHON nee none nc eee eee en ne en ee encore een ee ee ee ee ee 2 1 1 General Description and FEatures s iimnria 2 1 2 PCI 600 Technical SpecificationS seesseesseesneesenerresrsesrroseresrresreesressrersrensrenseenseesseesseee 3 13 COntroband MACAO Scansione nenen niee eana ENTIN ETENEE eiei 4 2 0 OPERATING PROCEDURES sl ii 6 21 FUNCHORA DEScrpioienmea ia 6 Dodie ACGCUTENESOUE bia 6 2 1 2 Current Output Control dai 6 213 Timer Stop input and CoMtrOl eapi nren ann EE S EE EEES 7 21A EKEN CUPP OEIC IN pU oere a EE OE ali 8 215 LIDO 8 22 100 ASCA O EA 9 2 2 1 Testing the Open Time Delay of a Protection Relay 9 2 2 2 Measuring Current Transformer Primary and Secondary Current tt 11 LIST OF TABLES Table 1 PCI 600 Technical SpecificationS i 3 Table 2 Functional Descriptions of PCI 600 Controls and Indicators 5 Table C rrent Output vs Telai 6 LIST OF FIGURES Figure 1 PCI 600 Controls and INGICATONS siria 4 PCI 600 USER S MANUAL REV 2 CONVENTIONS USED IN THIS DOCUME
