1. General information
1.1 Application and features
1.1.1 Application
The digital, combined under-frequency and over-frequency relay type RMF-112D forms part of a complete
DEIF series of relays for protection and control of generators.

The relay is type-approved by major classification societies and is applicable to both marine and land-based
installations.

The RMF-112D is applied for protection against under-frequency and over-frequency by supervising the fre-
quency (of generators) in single phase and 3-phase networks.

1.1.2 Measuring principle

The relay measures the voltage between two phases or between one phase and the neutral.

To avoid unwanted under-frequency alarms, the RMF-112D relay is not activated until the measuring voltage
exceeds 60 % of Un.

If either the under-frequency or over-frequency exceeds its set point, its associated output is activated.

The set point values are set on the front of the relay by means of potentiometers. If exceeded, a fault signal is
generated, and the associated yellow LED is lit.

1.1.3 Timer functions

When the set point is exceeded, the associated timer starts and will run as long as the fault condition prevails.
The delay does not depend on the exceeding of the set point.

If the fault disappears, the timer is reset. When the timer expires, the contact is activated and the associated
red LED is lit.

1.1.4 Relay outputs

The RMF-112D is provided with two outputs:

f< a minimum contact

(normally energised or normally de-energised)
f> a maximum contact
(normally energised or normally de-energised)

The contacts may be set to open or to close on activation.

Normally energised contact

Recommended for land-based installations for warning and alarm purposes.

In case of an auxiliary supply dropout, the contact is immediately activated.

Normally de-energised contact

Recommended for marine installations for regulating and control purposes.

An auxiliary supply failure will not result in an unwanted activation of the contact.

RMF-112D data sheet 4921240223 UK General information

Latch circuit
The contact can be locked in its warning position, even if the input frequency returns to normal (add "L" to
contact type in order specifications, if this is required).

The latch circuit is reset by disconnecting the auxiliary supply.

Hysteresis
In order to avoid "chatter" on the relay contacts the contact functions are provided with a hysteresis, that is a
difference of 0.25 Hz between energising and de-energising of the relay.

Power-up/power-down circuits
The RMF-112D is provided with a 200 ms power-up circuit, ensuring the correct function of the relay on con-
nection of the auxiliary voltage.

Normally energised contacts are not activated (contact does not open/close) until 200 ms after
connection of the auxiliary voltage.

Likewise, the RMF-112D is provided with a 200 ms power-down circuit, ensuring supervision and mainte-
nance of any set point exceedings for 200 ms after disconnection of the auxiliary voltage.

2.1.2 Settings and indication

Setting of LED/relay
Under-frequency set point: “f<” yellow LED is lit when the frequency has dropped below the set
(90 to 100 %) of fn point, but the relay not yet activated.
(80 to 100 %) of fn at fn = 55 Hz
Over-frequency set point: “f>” yellow LED is lit when the set point is exceeded, but the relay not
(100 to 110 %) of fn yet activated.
(100 to 120 %) of fn at fn = 55 Hz
Time delay: Contact is activated and red LED lit after the timer has expired.
(0 to 10 s) in seconds

The relay is furthermore equipped with a green LED marked "POWER" for indication of power ON. Once the
relay has been mounted and adjusted, the transparent front cover may be sealed to prevent unwanted
change of the setting.
