IMPORTANT

Have only qualified personnel service this equipment.

If you are not qualified to service this equipment, you
can injure yourself or others, or cause equipment
damage.

Equipment components are sensitive to electrostatic

discharge (ESD). Undetectable permanent damage
can result if you do not use proper ESD procedures.
Ground yourself, your work surface, and this
equipment before removing any cover from this
equipment.

Disconnect or de-energize all external connections

before opening this device. Contact with hazardous
voltages and currents inside this device can cause
electrical shock resulting in injury or death.

To install an option card the relay must be de-energized

and then reenergized. When reenergized, the relay will
reboot. Therefore, de-energize the protected motor
before installing the option card to prevent damage to
the motor.

For compliance to IEC standards regarding thermal

overlaods, set the SERVICE FACTOR to a value:
1.05...1.20
For a properly configured device, the settings in the
Main Settings and Overload Settings groups should be
adjusted according to the motor and system requirements.
Settings in other groups can be programmed as desired.

IMPORTANT

Settings associated with options or accessories

(converter module, voltage input card, expansion I/O
card, RTD scanner) require their installation or
connection prior to being made available for
configuration.

1. The CET 5 relay is not EMC-Tested for converter module

connecting cable lengths greater than the 4-meter cable that is
supplied.
2. Up to 12 RTDs can be monitored when an external RTD Scanner
is used. There are separate trip and warning settings for each
RTD.
3. A simplex 62.5/125 m fiber-optic cable with ST connector is
needed for connecting the external RTD module to the CET 5.
(Fiber optic cable is not supplied. Contact NHP for details.)

The CET5 can be programmed for automatic star-delta control:
AUX #H = 0001000 (STAR),
AUX #H = 0000100 (DELTA),

Control Circuit
Figure 11 Relay with control connections (IO)

See Table 5.38 of CET5 main manual for control function assignment to the input IN1 and IN2. Connect the
appropriate external contacts (#1 and #2) to the inputs.

Inputs IN3, IN4, and IN5 are available when an optional I/O extension card is present. CIOD5 inputs are
rated 120V AC/DC. CIOR5 inputs are rated 24V AC/DC.

See Table 5.36 of CET5 main manual for mapping protection elements to the Trip output. See Figure 2.6
and Figure 2.15 of CET5 main manual for typical control circuit connections.

See Table 5.37 of CET5 main manual for mapping protection and/or control elements to the Aux outputs.
Outputs Aux3 through Aux6 are available when an optional I/O extension card is present.

Analog Output is available when an optional I/O extension card is present.

You can connect up to six thermistors (PTC) in series. See Table 2.1 of CET5 main manual for PTC cable
requirements.

Use an up to 500 meter long Simplex 62.5/125 mm fiber-optic cable (ST/ST).

Available when an optional DeviceNet Communications Protocol Card is present.
