5.5.1.4 Alarm 1 Hysteresis
Here hysteresis means: The difference in
thresholds between switching on and
switching off. This difference should be
selected large enough to avoid undesired
switching actions at the output due to the
variations of the current instantaneous
For positive alarm value:
Switching on hysteresis

value
alarm
Output
Switching on value = alarm + switching on hysteresis ∆a
Switching off value = alarm – switching off hysteresis ∆b
The switching on value must be greater than the switching off value.
For negative alarm value:
Negative

Output
Switching on value = alarm – switching on hysteresis ∆a
Switching off value = alarm + switching off hysteresis ∆b
The switching on absolute value (numerical value without sign)
must be greater than the absolute value for switching off.
value.
Note:
Alarm value and hysteresis are always
based on the displayed current value and
not on the input signal value.
