SPR-24E Dual Pulse Isolation Relay
The SPR-24E dual pulse isolation relay is designed to provide four isolated dry, solid state Form C (KYZ pulses) contacts from two field-selectable Form A or C inputs in a NEMA 4X enclosure. The SPR-24E utilizes solid state (silicon) outputs and is functionally equivalent to the SPR-24, but designed for outdoor operation. Each input’s wetting or “sense” voltage of +13VDC is available on each “Yin” and “Zin” inputs, and is “pulled up.” The “Kin” terminal is the common return. The SPR-24E offers maximum flexibility as it is compatible with most meters having mechanical, electromechanical or solid state pulse outputs and operates over a wide voltage range.
Typical applications include interfaces between utility metering devices and customer-owned energy control systems, demand response applications, pulse recorders and supervisory control system (SCADA) interfaces. The SPR-24E’s input has a switch-selectable Form A or Form C input and input filtering circuitry to prevent noise from triggering the output. Any pulses less than 18mS are considered to be noise and will not be detected as a valid pulse. Once an input pulse greater than 18mS in length is detected, the outputs will be changed according to the status of the input, thus eliminating any false pulses.
Bright red and green LED indicators display the system status for both input channels at all times, thus allowing a rapid check of the system’s performance without requiring any additional test equipment. The SPR-24E’s input and output terminal strip allows maximum protection from accidental electrical shock. Each output’s “K” lead is fused to prevent damage to the relays under almost any condition users might cause such as excessive current, incorrect wiring, etc.
The SPR-24E has built-in MOV transient protection for the solid state (silicon) relays contacts which eliminates the need for external protection. The SPR-24E’s tough polycarbonate enclosure offers excellent electrical insulation and measures approximately 9” x 8” x 2”, allowing ample wiring room for field terminations. All component parts which have power applied to them, with the exception of the input/output terminal strip are enclosed with an acrylic cover for maximum protection.
