EL9222-xxxx 2:

The EL9222-xxxx has illuminated push-buttons!

The illuminated push-buttons allow the overcurrent protection terminal to be operated, e.g. switching on and off and resetting the respective output. They are also used for programming and querying the nominal current. There are 3 modes: operation mode, programming mode and query mode. There is a common programming mode in which the two outputs can be set simultaneously, as they are interdependent for the terminal with sum current limitation.

Overview of the 3 operation modes:

Operation mode
The operation mode is active as soon as the overcurrent protection terminal is supplied with supply voltage, the initialization has been successfully completed and no other mode is active. This is effectively the normal mode of operation.

Programming mode
The programming mode is available for the adjustable overcurrent protection terminals. To enter this mode, press and hold one of the two buttons in operation mode for > 3 seconds. In programming mode, both outputs can be set simultaneously.

Query mode
The query mode exists for the fixed overcurrent protection terminals, which are not adjustable. If programming is disabled for the adjustable overcurrent protection terminals, only the query mode is available. No changes can be made in query mode, i.e. it is only intended for querying the nominal current value. To enter this mode, press and hold one of the two buttons in operation mode for > 3 seconds.

For operation in the respective modes, please refer to the table LED buttons Operation / Programming.

Sample programming

Further sample programming can be found in chapter "Sample programming".

EL9222-xxxx 4:

Behavior of the outputs when the settings are changed

If settings are changed during operation (outputs are switched on), the outputs remain switched on. This has the advantage that the system can remain in operation and a change can be made "online".

EL9222-xxxx 5:

The EL9222-5500 has a sum current limitation of 10 A.

The 10 A can be split between the two channels. If one channel is set to 10 A, the other channel must be set to OFF! If the sum current is exceeded, button LED 1 and button LED 2 flash red.

The flashing code shows how the channels have been set, and at least one channel must be changed.

When the value falls below the maximum sum current again, button LED 1 and button LED 2 flash green or are off. Only now can the programming mode be saved and exited.
