HRM250
Quick Start Guide
This versatile relay module has two independent timers built in to it so it
can be set up to switch the relay contacts on and off in a variety of ways.
With each timer being adjustable for 0.005s up to 270hrs.
A built in LED display allows the user to set up the device to the function
they require.
Full Instruction Manualhttps://systemq.com/PDF/manual/xHRM250.pdf
The HRM250 has a non-volatile memory so once set up if the power is removed it
will remember its settings. The HRM250 really has 10 main functions but 8 of
these 10 functions can be imitated in two different ways.
You can either start the function by applying power to the HRM250 or start the
function by applying a trigger voltage to it with power permanently applied to
the HRM250.
- Power up – Delay switch on
- Power up – Delay switch on
- Power up – Delay switch on followed by delay switch on
- Power up – Delay switch off followed by delay switch on
- Power up – Continuous loop starting with relay off then on
- Power up – Continuous loop starting with relay on then off
- Power up – Set number of “N” loops starting with relay off then on
- Power up – Set number of “N” loops starting with relay on then off
- Toggle mode – Trigger input toggles output
- Mimic mode – Relay energizes whenever input trigger present
- Positive trigger – Delay switch on
- Positive trigger – Delay switch off
- Positive trigger – Delay switch on followed by delay switch off
- Positive trigger – Delay switch off followed by delay switch on
- Positive trigger – Continuous loop starting with relay off then on
- Positive trigger – Continuous loop starting with relay on then off
- Positive trigger – Set number of “N” loops starting with relay off then on
- Positive trigger – Set number of “N” loops starting with relay on then off
The HRM250 really has 10 main functions but 8 of these 10 functions can be
imitated in two different ways.
You can either start the function by applying power to the HRM250 or start the
function by applying a trigger voltage to it with power permanently applied to
the HRM250.
The first 1-8 functions are triggered when you actually Power up the device,
i.e. apply 12V to it. These are 8 different timing functions.
Functions 9 and 10 are “toggle” and “mimic” functions where the relay toggles
or mimics a trigger input to it. For functions 9 & 10 the
HRM250 needs power permanently applied to it.
When using a trigger input it needs to be a “positive trigger’ this means the
trigger signal is between 8 and 12V usually it will be at the supply voltage
of 12V
Buttons
There are 4 buttons:
SET
SWI NO
NUM +
NUM –
They all have short and long presses:
Short presses
are less than 1 second long
Long presses
are more than 1 second long
Operating modes
- Normal Operation d
- Parameter view
- Parameter setting
LED display
- Used to set or view the timing parameters
N Functions
Functions 01-06
- LED display indicates the “time multiplier’ for
Timer1 and Timer2
- Time base varies from 00 to 99 – 00 = .005 second time multiplier (for very fine timing)
- 01 = 1 second time multiplier
- 99 = 99 second time multiplier
- First two LED digits indicate time multiplier for
Timer
- Second two LED digits indicate time multiplier for Timer2
LED indicators
4 blue parameter indicators:
MD: Active program function (01 to 18)
On = Timing stopped
Flashing = Timing function has completed
Timer1: Timer one – 1 to 9999 seconds
On = Displays current Timer1 value
Flashing = Timer2 is counting Timer2:
Timer two – 1 to 9999 seconds
On = Displays current Timer2 value
Flashing = Timer2 is counting
N: Varies for each function. See N Function Opposite
On = Displays current N value
1 red power on indicator
1 blue relay active indicator
