It will also give an alarm signal showing that the SC protection circuit is operating. The protection circuit resets if input signal is OFF when the predetermined time (1 ~ 2ms) has passed. (An OFF period of more than 40µm is required.) INPUT SIGNAL IS OFF CLEAR ALARM ENABLE OUTPUT PCB Installation SOLDER C / G / E / T PINS 4 04/16 Rev. 2
