5.5 Remote Stop Test
Required if: Earth Continuity Protection is activated & a remote stop button is installed.
The PF1 can be configured as a standalone earth continuity relay (with or without earth leakage
protection) or as a pump/fan protection relay with the added functionality of earth continuity protection.
If the PF1 is being used as a standalone earth continuity relay, the remote start function must be enabled
or the earth continuity trip must be set to latching.
WARNING!
In Earth Continuity Only Mode, if
remote start is not enabled
, when
the pilot resistance returns to a healthy range (remote stop button
released) the
K1 output relay will energise
.
Remote Stop Test (Pump or Fan Mode Activated)
1. Energise the outlet and confirm that it is running.
2. Press the remote stop pushbutton that has been installed in the pilot line and confirm that the
PF1 trips on earth continuity.
3. Release the remote stop button and confirm that the outlet does not re-energise.
Remote Stop Test (Pump & Fan Mode Disabled)
1. Energise the outlet and confirm that it is running.
2. Press the remote stop pushbutton that has been installed in the pilot line and confirm that the
PF1 trips on earth continuity.
3. Release the remote stop button
a. If a remote start button is installed, or the trip is set to latching the outlet should not re-
energise.
b. If a remote start button is not installed and the earth continuity trip is not set to non-
latching, the outlet will re-energise. This is
not a recommended operating mode
for the
PF1.
5.6 Remote Start Test
Required if: Earth Continuity Protection is activated & a remote start button is installed.
The remote start function requires that a 100
Ω resistor be installed in series with the pilot line. If the
remote start function is enabled, the 100
Ω resistor must be sensed by the PF1 or an earth continuity trip
will occur.
Perform the earth continuity tests described in Section 5.4
with the 100Ω installed.
Energise the outlet using the remote start pushbutton and confirm that it is running.
Stop the outlet then start it again using the remote start pushbutton and hold the pushbutton in. Confirm
that an earth continuity trip occurs after a period of 15 seconds.
