6 - Additional Ekip Dip functions
The Ekip T&P and Ekip Bluetooth modules, and the Ekip Connect software, allow you to set
some functions and parameters not available via dip-switch:
• Maintenance
• Local Bus
• Date and time.
Maintenance
The Maintenance function allows signalling to the user, via LED, that:
• 1 year has passed since the last maintenance.
• Contact wear has increased by more than 10% compared with the value at the last
maintenance.
Via Ekip Connect there are 2 selections available:
• Activation: it allows to the maintenance function to be activated.
• Reset: it allows confirmation of maintenance on the release; the current date and contact
wear values are recorded, and the signal is reset.
The reference date is that of the internal clock, and the elapsed time is calculated both with the
release on and off (provided that the internal battery is working).
NOTE:
manual modification of the date can cause variations in the calculation of the
time elapsed, and therefore the date of the next maintenance.
NOTE:
the maintenance signal due to increased contact wear is active for values
higher than 20%.
Local Bus
In order to activate communication on the local bus with the Ekip Link, Ekip Multimeter or Ekip
Signalling 10K modules, the Local Bus parameter must be enabled.
NOTE:
communication with the modules is active if the auxiliary power supply is
present.
Date and time.
The Ekip Dip release has a user-adjustable internal clock.
Setting the date can be useful for some functions such as the recording of trips and minimum
and maximum currents, and maintenance.
The clock is active if the internal battery of the release is working.
