REX12 Electronic Circuit Protector
Description
The compact and flexible all-in-one solution REX consists of several
perfectly matched components. It comprises the EM12-T supply
module for the plus and minus potential via a single or double channel
REX12-T electronic circuit protector which can be mounted side by
side in any number and the PM12-T potential extension module for
plus and minus multiplication. Connection of the only 12.5 mm wide
modules is exclusively with push-in terminals which allow no-tool
time-saving wiring.
The circuit protectors are placed on the symmetrical rail one after
another in combination with EM12-T and PM12-T and are electrically
connected by means of the built-in connector arm - no further acces-
sories are required. The circuit protector REX12-T offers selective over-
current protection by responding to short circuit or overload faster than
the switch mode power supply. Capacitive loads of up to 20,000µF
can be switched on without problems. The circuit protector is available
in all standard fixed and adjustable current ratings from 1 A to 10 A.
Besides the UL508listed approval and NEC Class2, the REX12-T also
meets the requirements of cable protection to EN60204-1.

Enquire
adjusted current rating
with REX12D-TE2
Enquiry of currently adjusted
current rating, independent of the
operating mode (COM or standard),
possible for each channel directly on the
REX12D-TE2
Enquiry mode is started by pushing the
button between ≥ 2 seconds and < 5
seconds. After releasing the button, the
LED is RED for 333 ms to indicate start of
enquiry. Afterwards, the LED flashes
ORANGE in a pulse/break ratio of 1/2
with a frequency of 1 Hz to indicate the
adjusted current value. When the adjusted
current rating is reached, signalling re-
starts after the RED LED re-lights for 333
ms. The enquiry mode is left after the
adjusted current rating was signalled 5
times or by pressing the button. Visual
indication will now show again the current
operating condition.
The enquiry mode is possible in all operat-
ing conditions (ON, OFF, UNDERVOLTAGE
and TRIPPED).
The adjustment mode directly on the
REX12D-TE2 can only be activated in the
REX12D-TE2 standard mode
The adjustment mode is started per chan-
nel by pushing the button for ≥ 5 seconds.
After releasing the button, the LED is RED
for 333 ms to indicate start of adjustment.
The LED is blinking GREEN with a pulse/
break ratio of 1/4 at a frequency of 0.6
Hz for visual indication. After reaching
the max. adjustment value, signalling
re-starts. Overrun of the max. adjustment
value after 1 Ampere is indicated by the
RED LED (333 ms). The current rating to
be adjusted is adopted by pushing the
button during the blinking period of 1 A
up to the max. adjustment value. If for
instance the button is pushed after the
7
th
illumination of the GREEN LED, 7A is
adopted as current rating and visual indi-
cation again shows the current operating
condition. If the button is not pressed,
the adjustment mode is left after 5 times
signalling the current rating range without
a new current rating being adopted and
the visual indication returns to current
status indication.
The adjustment mode is possible in all
operating conditions (ON, OFF, UNDER-
VOLTAGE and TRIPPED).

load / short circuit) can externally be reset
