2.11.4 TDR-M (Plug-in Time Delay Relay) and ACAT-3P (AMP Clamp)
Photos 2.11.4.a; b
The TDR-M briefly delays power to the output during utility start-ups (after an outage
has occurred). The delay time can be varied between 10 and 60 seconds by using
an easily accessible potentiometer. The ACAT-3P clamps dangerous spikes and
surges to ground protecting sensitive electronic equipment. These options are not
available for the APL.
CAUTION: BEFORE PROCEEDING, ENSURE THAT THE UTILITY POWER HAS
BEEN DISCONNECTED!
Procedure: TDR-M
1. Remove the single SEMS screw from the text side of the TDR-M
(if installed).
2. Place the tab on the TDR-M into the upper slot (adjacent to the capacitor).
3. Slide the TDR-M towards the left hand side until it is flush with the left
flange on the APC. The slot in the flange should lineup with the screw-hole
in the TDR-M.
4. Replace the screw into the screw-hole and tighten.
5. Disconnect the shorting plug from the 3-pin connector. Save the shorting
plug in a safe location, in case it needs to be reinstalled (e.g., If the TDR-M
is removed). Plug the 3-pin connector into its mating connector on the
TDR-M.
6. Connect a true reading RMS digital multimeter to the output of the APC.
Apply power to the APC and adjust the potentiometer for the desired output
delay time using the digital multimeter.
Procedure: ACAT-3P
The ACAT-3P mounts in the same manner as the TDR-M, but in the lower slot and
connects to the 2-pin connector.
