RXKL 1 RXKM 2H
Features • For protection, control and industrial
systems
• Time setting 20 ms to 99 h
• Supply voltage 24-250 V dc and
100-240 V ac (24-240 V ac for RXKL 1)
• Microprocessor design with digital setting
• High accuracy
Application These time relays are intended for use where
high operating requirements are necessary,
such as in protection systems, automation
control equipment, industrial processes, and
control and signal systems.
Design RXKL 1
The RXKL 1 is a dc or ac voltage operated,
high-precision, digital on-delay time relay
utilizing a microprocessor for the time
functions. The relay has built-in electro-
mechanical output relays providing two
medium-duty change-over contacts.
The relay operates after completion of the set
time delay, provided that voltage is continu-
ously applied to terminals 11 and 21. Each
time the voltage supply is interrupted for a

RXKL 1
• On-delay relay with continuous and pulsed
output function
RXKM 2H
• On-delay and off-delay relay with
continuous and pulsed output function
• Continuous and summation time
measuring
• Indication of start, elapsed time and
operation
With their wide time setting ranges together
with large operative ranges for both dc and ac
supply voltages, RXKL 1 and RXKM 2H can
replace most other types of time relays.
period exceeding the relay recovery time, the
relay resets and the time measurement restarts
from the beginning.
The time setting is made by three rotary
switches marked K, a and b. The product of
the scale factor K and the sum of a and b
gives the set operate time for the relay,
i.e. t = K x (a+b).
The recommended setting range for a+b is
10 to 99.
ABB Network Partner Time relays
Design (cont’d) For the continuous function the scale factor K
can be set to 1 ms, 10 ms, 0,1 s, 1 s, 10 s,
1 min, 10 min or 1 h. The switch a can be set
between 0 and 90 in steps of 10, and the
switch b can be set between 0 and 9 in steps
of 1. The recommended setting range for
a + b is 10 to 99. The on-delay time is settable
from 20 ms to 99 h.
The switch K can also be set for two different
pulse functions, one giving a single 500 ms
pulse and the other for flashing with a pulse
frequency of 30 to 1000 pulses per minute.
In the position for a single pulse the scale
factor is 0,1 s. The sum of the switches a and
b can in this case be set between 1 and 99,
giving a on-delay time of 0,1 to 9,9 s. When
the set time has elapsed, the output relays
pick-up and then reset after 500 ms.
In the position for flashing function the scale
factor is 10 ms, the switches a and b should
be set between 3 and 99, giving a set time of
30 to 990 ms. When the relay is energized in
this function it operates after the set time,
resets after the set time, operates again, etc. In
this function the relay can be used as a flasher
relay where the set time corresponds to
frequencies between 30 and 1000 flashes per
minute.
The relay occupies one seat (2U 6C).
RXKM 2H
The RXKM 2H is a dc or ac voltage operated,
high-precision, digital on-delay and off-
delay time relay utilizing a microprocessor
for the time functions. The relay has built-in
electromechanical output relays providing
one instantaneous and two delayed medium-
duty change-over contacts.
The time setting is made by three rotary
switches marked K, a and b. The product of
the scale factor K and the sum of a and b
gives the set operate time for the relay,
i.e. t = K x (a+b).
The relay should not be energized when the
time setting shall be changed.
The scale factor K can be set to 1 ms, 10 ms,
0,1 s, 1 s, 10 s, 1 min, 10 min or 1 h, while the
sum of switches a and b should be set
between 10 and 99. The time delay is settable
from 30 ms to 99 h.

On the front the relay has four yellow LEDs
for start and elapsed time indications and one
red LED for indication of the relay operation.
When the relay is energized and the time
measuring starts, a yellow LED begins to
flash. After one fourth of the set time the
LED gets a steady light and the next LED
starts to flash. In this way the elapsed time is
indicated in quarters of the set time delay. At
operation the yellow LEDs are turned off and
the red LED turns on. This LED can be set for
either latching or automatically reset when
the voltage supply is disconnected. At latch-
ing the LED is reset with a push button on the
front of the relay.
The relay has an 8-pole programming switch
on the front for making the following selec-
tions:
- on-delay or off-delay function
- latching or automatic reset indication
- continuous or summation time measur-
ing
- pulse function 100, 250, 500 or 1000 ms
For on-delay with continuous time measuring
and automatic reset of indication, the
measuring starts and the instantaneous output
relay picks-up when the voltage supply is
connected to terminals 111 and 121.
For on-delay with summation time measuring
or with latching indication and for off-delay,
the voltage supply shall continuously be con-
nected to terminals 111 and 121. Then the
instantaneous output is on. Measurement of
time for on-delay starts when terminal 312 is
connected to 111. For off-delay time measur-
ing the delayed output switches to on when
terminal 312 is connected to 111. The time
measurement starts when this connection is
interrupted and after set time the delayed out-
put resets.
For continuous time measuring the relay
operates after the set time. For summation
time measuring the relay operates when the
total duration of energising terminal 312
corresponds to the set time. During both
continuous- and summation time measure-
ment the relay resets if the supply voltage to
terminal 111 is interrupted. Reset of elapsed
summation-time before operation can also be
done with the reset-push button.
The relay occupies two seats (4U 6C).
