Product Description

The frequency relays MK 9837N and MH 9837 are used for frequency monitoring of AC voltages. They are used for monitoring the output frequenc of frequency converters (/050) or for monitoring the rotor frequency of slip ring motors. Further areas of application are the monitoring of drives in crane systems, as well as the frequency monitoring of the supply voltage in rail vehicles.

Function Diagram

Functions

The auxiliary supply is connected to terminals A1-A2. Terminals E0-E1-E2 form the measuring input. For low voltages the measuring voltage is connected to E1-E0 and for higher voltages to E2E0 (see section technical data). The input frequency is compared to the setting value (response value = fine tunig x range). As the device measures the cycle duration the fastest frequency measurement is possible (reaction time = cycle time + 10 ms). In overfrequency mode (switch on front in pos. “>f”) the output relay switches to alarm state if the input frequency rises above the response value for a longer time then selected on the terminals. If the measuring frequency drops again under the hysteresis value, the output relay switches back to good state without delay. In underfrequency mode (switch on front in pos. “<f”) the output relay switches to alarm state, if the input frequency drops below the response value for a longer time then selected on the terminals. If the measuring frequency rises again above the hysteresis value, the output relay switches back to good state without delay.
If manual reset is chosen, the output relay stays in tripped position, even if the frequency is back to normal. The reset is made by bridging terminals X2-M or by disconnecting the auxiliary supply.
In alarm state the yellow LEDs „R1“ / „R2“ are continuously on, during time delay they flash with short pulse.
In de-energized on trip mode the output relay is energized in good state (contacts 11-14 etc. closed).
In energized on trip mode the output relay is energized in alarm state (contacts 11-14 etc. closed).
If start up delay is selected a timer is started after connection of auxiliary supply that disables the measuring circuit for the adjusted time. This start up delay avoids an alarm e.g. when starting a generator or motor.
When measuring overfrequency, monitoring of the signal on E0-E1-E2 can be selected. If the signal is missing longer then the selected monitoring time, relay 2 (contacts 21-22-24) and LED “R2” indicate alarm.
Indicators

Upper LED „UH/E“:| – Green, when only auxiliary voltage connected to A1 – A2
– Yellow/green, when measuring frequency is detected on E0-E1-E2
---|---
Lower LED „R1“ (yellow):| – On, when alarm state (under- / overfrequency) flashes (with short pulse) when time delay is active
Lower LED „R2“ (yellow):| – On, when alarm state (under- / overfrequency) flashes (with short pulse) when time delay is  active
– Additional flashes at signal monitoring alarm LEDs “R1” and “R2” flash together during  start up delay

Setting

Notes
Frequency measuring input

The standard measuring input is divided up in to voltage ranges (E1-E0 AC 15… 280 V and E2-E0 AC 30 … 550 V). If the measuring voltage is always higher then AC 30 V, the higher range should be used. To measure the output frequency on inverters the variant /5 has to be used. A special dimensioned measuring input with low pass characteristic avoids the measuring of the pulse frequency. In addition the input sensitivity is adapted to the voltage -/frequency-characteristic of inverters (see diagram in technical data).
Visual indication of measuring voltage: If the voltage on the measuring input is to low for correct function on inputs E0-E1-E2 the upper 2-colour LED “UH/E” shows green continuous light. If underfrequency is selected the unit indicates underfrequency alarm, if overfrequency is selected together with measuring signal monitoring the unit indicates measuring signal alarm. If the voltage on the measuring input is high enough the LED “UH/E” flashes yellow/green.
Start up delay / monitoring of measuring signal.
The start up time delay (tA) can be adjusted with the lowest potentiometer on the front side of the unit and is activated when connecting the auxiliary supply.
In underfrequency mode (“<f”) the start up delay can be extended/restarted at any time with a control contact between terminals X3-M. As long as  X3-M is bridged the start up delay is continuously on and the frequency is not measured. When the link on X3-M is opened the start up delay time restarts.
In overfrequency mode (“>f”) with a bridge on X3-M, the lowest potentio- meter sets the measuring signal monitoring time (tS) (The adjusted time values tA/tS are identically).
When signal monitoring in mode “>f” is selected by bridging X3-M the measuring input is monitored as follows: If during the adjusted monitoring  time interval no measuring signal is detected, measuring signal alarm isindicated. As soon as the measuring signal returns the alarm status is reset (auto reset selected) and the monitoring interval tS starts again. The alarm status is indicated on relay 2 (contacts 21-22-24) and LED “R2” and can be easily differentiated from under/over frequency alarm where both relays (contacts 11-12-14and 21-22-24) and LEDs “R1”and “R2”) are active.
The detection of missing measuring signal can increase the safety in critical applications on overfrequency. It detects if the measuring signal is connected to the input of the  device andworks correctly
Notes

Programming terminals (M-X1-X2-X3):
Attention!
The terminals M-X1-X2-X3 have no galvanic separation to the measuring circuit, and must be operated potential free.
M: Common connection (Ground) of the programming terminals
X1: A response delay of 0…100 s after connection of auxiliary supply  is achieved by connecting a X1 to M with a potentiometer or fixed  resistor (see technical data). The delay can be stopped by bridging
X1 to M at any time.
If no start up delay is required the terminals X1-M must be linked.
X2: Manual reset with NO contact push button on X2-M, auto reset with terminals X2-M bridged.
X3: When X3-M is bridged in mode “underfrequency” the start up delay is continuously active or the time is restarted. In mode  overfrequency the monitoring of the measuring signal is switched on by bridging X3-M.
Adjustment aid for start up delay and alarm delay
During the elapse of start up delay and alarm delay the yellow LED „R1“ and „R2“ is flashing with a frequency of 2 Hz. To set a specific time value in seconds the number of flash pulses can be used to check the setting: Number of flash pulses divided by 2 = time delay in seconds.
Variant MH 9837.12/008: 45 mm width
Identically to MK 9837N.12, but with 11 step LED chain indicator and galvanic separated analogue output to display the actual measured frequency. On terminals U/G of the analogue output 0-10 V are provided, on terminals I/G 0-20 mA are available. By bridging terminals Y1 and G the output can be switched over to 2-10 V and 4-20 mA. The max. value of the analogue output is indicating 2 times of the max. value of the selected range this allows also to indicate overfrequency values. The scaling is linear to the input frequency (lowest analogue value is 0 Hz). The LED chain indicator shows on 10 LEDs the actual frequency ( ≤ 10% … 100% of the setting range). If the frequency exceeds the maximum value of the range the idicator is switched over to 2 x max value and the top LED (red) is on.
