The voltage can be set to 10% to 100% of the maximum setting range. Turn the knob while there is an input to the input terminals until the alarm indicator flashes (when the set value and the input have reached the same level.) Use this as a guide to set the voltage. The maximum setting range will differ depending on the model and the input terminal. Example: K8AK-VS3 Using Input Terminal V3-COM The maximum setting range will be 600 VAC/VDC and the setting range will be 60 to 600 V. ●Hysteresis Hysteresis is set using the hysteresis knob (HYS.) The setting range is 5 to 50% of the operating value. Turn the knob while there is an input to the input terminals until the alarm indicator flashes (when the set value and the input have reached the same level.) Use this as a guide to set the hysteresis. Example: Maximum Setting of 600 VAC/VDC, Voltage Set Value (SV) of 50%, and Overvoltage Operation Operation will be at 300 V and resetting at 270 V when the hysteresis (HYS.) is set to 10%. ●Operating Time The operating time is set using the operating time knob (T). The operating time can be set to between 0.1 and 30 s. Turn the knob while there is an input to the input terminals until the alarm indicator flashes (when the set value and the input have reached the same level.) Use this as a guide to set the operating time. If the input voltage exceeds (or drops lower than) the voltage set value, the alarm indicator will start flashing for the set period and then stay lit.

The input will equal the operating value when the input exceeds the set value and the alarm indicator starts flashing. Operation can be checked by the relay outputs that will start after the operating time has passed. Undervoltage Gradually decrease the input from 120% of the set value and check the operation using the same method as for overvoltage. Example: Overvoltage Operating Mode and an Operating Time of 5 s Note: K8AK-VS@ output relays are normally operative.

Undervoltage Change the input suddenly from 120% to 0% of the set value and measure the time until the Unit operates.
