Application and function of SSM relay

The contact of the collective fault signal (SSM, potential-free changeover contact) can be connected to a building automation system. The SSM relay can either switch on only in case of fault or for faults and warnings.

  • When the pump does not have electricity or if there is no fault, the contact between the terminals COM (75) and OK (76) is closed. The contact is open in all other cases.
  • If there is a fault, the contact between the terminals COM (75) and Fault (78) is closed. It is open in all other cases.

In the “Settings” menu , select

  1. “External interfaces”
  2. “SSM relay function”.

 

Possible settings:

Function SSM relay

Selection option

Function SSM relay

Only fault (factory setting)

SSM relay connects only in case of fault. Fault means: The pump is not running.

Faults and warnings

SSM relay connects only in case of fault or a warning.

After confirming one of the selection options, the SSM trigger delay and SSM reset delay are entered.

Trigger and reset delay

Setting

Range in seconds

SSM trigger delay

0 s to 60 s

SSM reset delay

0 s to 60 s

 

  • Triggering of the SSM signal after occurrence of a fault or a warning is delayed.
  • Resetting of the SSM signal after occurrence of a fault or a warning is delayed.

Trigger delays are used so that processes are not influenced by very short fault or warning messages.
If a fault or a warning is fixed before the set time, there will not be any message to SSM.
A set SSM trigger delay of 0 seconds immediately reports fault or warnings.

If an error message or warning message occurs only for a brief duration (for example in case of a loose contact), the reset delay prevents a flutter of the SSM signal.

NOTICE

SSM trigger and SSM reset delay is set to 5 seconds as a factory setting.

 

SSM/ESM (collective fault signal/individual fault signal) in double pump operation

  • SSM: The SSM contact can be assigned to any of the two pumps. Factory setting: Both contacts signal faults at the double pump in parallel (collective fault signal).
  • ESM: The SSM function of the double pump can be configured so that the SSM contacts only signal faults of the respective pump (individual fault signal). In order to record all faults of the two pumps, both contacts must be assigned.
