Defining relays and inputs

  1. Select the Relay and input tab to define which relay(s) or input(s) are activated or shunted when this input is enabled.
  2. From the Activate relay list, select a relay or a relay group that is triggered when this input is enabled.
  3. Activate relay temporarily activates the relay according to the Temporary activation parameters defined in the Relay dialog. Default is unchecked.
  4. In the Temporary Shunt Timer (h:mm:ss) field, specify the period during which an input is not monitored. Setting the timer to 0:00:00 will instruct the relay to follow the input state. The maximum value for the Shunt delay (hh:mm:ss) is 18:12:15 when you are using the KT-400 or the KTES. (Corporate or Global Gateway). Default is 0s.
    Note: Under a Global Gateway, users have the ability to define a delay before shunt.

    For the system to process properly the reset delay on a temporary shunt, the Temporary Shunt Timer option must be set in the definition of the input that resets the delay. For example, if Input 1 temporary shunts Input 2, the Temporary Shunt Timer must be specified also in the definition of Input 2.

  5. From the Shunt input list, select the input that is not monitored when the input being defined is enabled.
  6. If applicable check Shunt input temporarily and Reset delay for shunt temporarily options. Default is unchecked for both.
  7. Delay before unshunt : Values range from 1 sec to 18 h:12min:15 secs.
    Note: When the input is restored or returns to normal condition, the shunted input returns to normal condition. The event “Input shunted by input” is generated by the system. When the input returns to normal condition, the event “Input unshunted by input” is generated.
