SLIMLINE Note: 50Hz standard (60Hz, 400Hz on special order)

Technical Specification
Power Supply: Response:
Start-up delay: approx. 10 seconds standard (1 to 15
Supply voltage: 12, 24, 110, 240 (ie. 220-240), 380, seconds available on special order)
400, 415, 525 VAC ±15% Time delay on trip: 1 second (approx).

Supply frequency: 50Hz nominal (ie. 42Hz-58Hz) Frequency Sensing:

60Hz & 400Hz versions available on Repetitive accuracy: 1%
special order. Hysteresis: 0.5Hz fixed

Description of Controls
P1: The Over-frequency Threshold is LED 1:The red LED marked “Over-
SLIMLINE SP-320 adjusted on P1. speed” illuminates whenever
