1. Safety instructions
Follow the operating instructions. Non-observance of the instructions, operation which is not in accordance with use as prescribed below, wrong installation or handling can affect the safety of people and the plant.
The installation and connection must comply with the applicable national and international standards. Responsibility lies with the person installing the unit.
The unit must be installed, connected and put into operation by a qualified electrician as
• during the installation dangerous contact voltage occurs and
- the safe function of the unit and the plant is only guaranteed when installation is correctly carried out.
Disconnect the unit externally before handling it. Also disconnect any independently supplied relay load circuits.
Be careful when handling the connected unit. Due to the protection rating IP 20 this is only allowed by qualified staff.
The design of the unit corresponds to the protection class II except for the terminal blocks. Protection against accidental contact (safety from finger-touch to IP20) for qualified staff is only guaranteed if the terminal screw has been completely screwed in. For the correct operation the unit must be mounted in a housing (protection rating IP40 or higher) which can only be opened using a tool or in a closed control cabinet.
If the unit has an external 24 V DC supply, this voltage must be generated and supplied externally according to the requirements for safe extra-low voltage (SELV) since without further measures this voltage is supplied near the operating elements and at the terminals for the supply of connected pulse pick-ups.
The wiring of all signals concerning the SELV circuit of the unit must also meet the SELV criteria (safe extra-low voltage, safe electrical separation from other circuits).
If the externally supplied or internally generated SELV voltage is externally grounded, the responsibility lies with the user in accordance with the applicable national installation regulations. All statements in the operating instructions refer to the unit which is not grounded with respect to the SELV voltage.
It is not allowed to supply external voltage to the terminals for the pulse pick-up supply and the analogue output.
The consumption of current which exceeds the value given in the technical data is not allowed.
An external main switch must be installed for the unit which can switch off the unit and all related circuits. This main switch must be clearly assigned to the unit.
According to the technical specifications below the unit can be operated in a wide operating temperature range. Because of the additional internal heating the operating elements and the housing walls can have high perceptible temperatures when touched in hot environments.
In case of malfunction of the unit or uncertainties please contact the manufacturer. Tampering with the unit can seriously affect the safety of people and equipment. This is not permitted and leads to an exclusion of liability and warranty.
2. Function and features
The Monitor AL-3 is a programmable, analogue threshold relay for the evaluation of physical values derived from analogue standard signals. The setting possibilities of the various parameters ensure that the function of the unit is variable within a great range of values and can thus be adapted to the individual application.
Applications are for example:
- Limit monitoring of flow, pressure, temperature, or level,
• monitoring of the difference between inflow and return flow or
• monitoring of differential pressure.

D --> E["limit value 2 level [cm"]]
E --> F["IN1 IN2 MONITOR AL-3"]
F --> G["Out1 Out2 Out3"]
G --> H["display, evaluation or recording [°C"]]
The analogue current signals at both inputs can be scaled, displayed and monitored independently of each other. The start and end values of the current signal can be assigned any numerical value – corresponding to the measuring range of the sensor (e.g. 4...20 mA = 0...25 [bar]).
The monitor compares the actual signal values with the set limit values and switches the assigned outputs depending on the set parameter values and functions. The analogue output provides the input signal IN 1 unchanged or scaled for further use.
In the comparator mode the monitor AL-3 forms the difference or the total from the two input signals (IN 1-IN 2, IN 1+IN 2). The differential or the total value can be displayed, evaluated, compared with the set limit values, and provided as analogue signal. The outputs switch according to the set parameter values and functions.
The teach function enables the assignment of an actual signal value to a switch point and detection of the value range of the analogue output.

4. Mounting
Mount the unit on a DIN rail or by means of a mounting base. Leave enough space between the unit and the top and bottom of the control cabinet to enable air circulation to avoid excessive heating.
Take the internal heating of all units into account when mounting several units side by side. The environmental conditions must be observed for every unit.
Mounting of the sensors:
Adhere to the mounting instructions of the manufacturer.

If the transmitters are supplied via an external 24 V DC power supply the wiring indicated on the following page is to be observed.
An electrical separation between monitor and transmitter supply only exists for AC monitor supply (terminals 7/8).
Voltage supply (power)
It is only allowed to operate the unit via one of the possible voltage connections, i.e. either terminals 7/8, AC/DC or terminals 1/2, 24 V DC.
The terminals 1/2 of the 24 V DC supply are directly connected to the terminals of the sensor supply. The SELV criteria must therefore be met for the DC supply (safe extra-low voltage, circuit electrically separated from other circuits, not grounded).
The supply cable must be protected externally according to the cross-section used (max. 16 A).
The device shall be supplied from an isolating source and protected by an overcurrent protection device such that the limited voltage circuit requirements in accordance with UL 508 are met.
If the DC circuit is to be grounded (e.g. due to national regulations), the respective directives must be adhered to (safe extra-low voltage, circuit electrically separated from other circuits).
If the unit is AC supplied (DW2003), the low voltage provided for the sensor supply meets the SELV criteria according to EN 61010, overvoltage category II, soiling degree 2.
To guarantee safe functioning, signal cables (sensors, transistor outputs, input signals) and load cables (power supply, relay outputs) should be laid separately.
If necessary, use a screened cable.

Adhere to the information of the manufacturer.
Terminal 10 can be used for the transmitter supply, triggering of the reset/release input and supply of the transistor outputs.
Input reset 1/2 (external reset)
A pulse (+24 V DC) on terminal 18 resets the relay state latched in case of a fault if the latching function is active (parameter SOx).
Pressing the pushbuttons continuously does not influence the monitoring function.
Input release 1/2 (external release of the start-up delay)
A signal (+24 V DC) on terminal 17 keeps outputs 1 and 2 in the same state as with the active start-up delay. If the signal is no longer provided, the set start-up delay (STx) starts. In case of a stored fault the signal on terminal 17 is only effective after a reset has been made.
Load circuit relay output (Out 1/2)
To prevent excessive wear and to comply with the EMC regulations interference suppression of the contacts is required for switching inductive loads.
If the relay is used to switch very small currents (e.g. PLC inputs), considerable contact resistance can arise. In this case use the transistor output.
Load circuit transistor (Out 1/2)
The transistor outputs need an external voltage of 24 V DC at terminal 3. This voltage can be taken from the unit via terminal 10.
The reference point (GND) of the external power supply must be connected to terminal 1 of the monitor, otherwise no switching operation is possible.
The device shall be supplied from an isolating source and protected by an overcurrent protection device such that the limited voltage circuit requirements in accordance with UL 508 are met.
Analogue output, PWM (Out 3)
The analogue output is not electrically separated from the sensor/transmitter supply and from the 24V DC supply voltage. No dangerous contact circuits must be connected to the analogue output.
6. Signal monitoring
The measuring range of the input signals is divided into the operating range, the warning range and the fault range. For signal monitoring it is useful to connect a sensor/transmitter with a 4...20 mA output signal.
If an input signal is in the warning or fault range, this is indicated by flashing of the yellow input LED In1 or In2. The transistor output "output fault" (terminal 12) is blocked as soon as a signal is in the fault range.

The transitions operating range warning range (< 4 mA, > 20 mA) are equipped with a delay time t_v of 500 ms.
7. Navigation and parameter description
The -buttons and the -button are used for the selection, entry of values and acknowledgement within the parameters arranged in columns.
The parameters above _A^vP and _A^vR are general system para-
meters. They are normally set only once during commissioning depending on the machines or systems to be monitored.
The parameters below these entries are application parameters. They can be set or changed more often.

8. Programming

If programming takes place during operation, dangerous contact voltage can occur. Therefore ensure that programming is done by a qualified electrician.

Parameter changes during operation, especially changes of the switching function or the teach in of the parameters SP1, SP2, AE3 or AS3 can lead to malfunction in the plant. In case of doubt stop the plant and change the parameters manually.
Programming consists of 6 steps:
- Change from the RUN mode to the parameter range 0...3 pushbutton
- Selection of the requested parameter (MOD, IN1, etc) pushbuttons /
- Change to the PRG mode pushbutton
- Setting or changing the parameter value pushbuttons /
- Acknowledgement of the set parameter value pushbutton (> 3 s)
- Return to the RUN mode pushbutton (> 3 s)

| Return to the RUN mode | |
| Press the pushbutton for about 3 s or wait forthe Time-Out function (approx. 15 s).The unit is again in the RUN mode, the current value is indicated ... | ![]() |
Notes on programming
RUN mode
During programming the unit internally remains in the RUN mode! (RUN indicator visible).
This means that until a new value is acknowledged with the pushbutton the unit carries out its monitoring function on the basis of the previously set parameters and switches the relay and transistor outputs accordingly.
Note:
The monitoring function of the monitor is deactivated by continuously pressing the ➕ button in the RUN mode. The deactivation is effective as long as the pushbutton is pressed.

In addition to the numerical entry the above-mentioned parameters can also be set by the teach function. In the programming mode this function enables to measure and display the current input signal and to assign the selected parameter to it.
To teach the actual measured value the same programming steps as for the "normal" programming are done first.
- Change from RUN mode to parameter range 1,2 or 3 pushbutton
- Selection of the requested parameter (SP1, SP2, AE3 or AS3) pushbuttons ↑/↓
- Change to the PRG mode pushbutton
(PRG indicator visible, parameter abbreviation flashes)


The teaching is started by pressing the ↗buttons simultaneously in the PRG mode. The current measured value is displayed and can be changed by the ↑ or ↓ button on request.
As for the numerical programming the value is stored by pressing the button until the parameter abbreviation no longer flashes and the PRG indicator has disappeared.
Time Out Function
If during programming no pushbutton is pressed for approx. 15 s, this is seen as a cancellation.
Parameter changes which are not acknowledged with the pushbutton are rejected. The previously set parameter value is restored and remains effective for the monitoring functions.
Numerical entries
Press the ↑ or pushbutton and hold it.
The smallest decade becomes active and is counted up or down depending on the selected pushbutton (e.g. 1, 2, 3, .... 0). Then comes the next decade, etc.
As soon as the pushbutton is released, the active decade flashes. It is set by pressing the or pushbutton several times. The preceding decade then flashes and can be set.
Factory reset
The factory default values can be restored by pressing the and pushbuttons simultaneously during power on. All entered parameter values are lost.
KEY function
The unit can be locked to prevent incorrect entries.
- Locking:
Press the pushbuttons ♦ simultaneously and hold them. The KEY indicator flashes. Release the pushbuttons when the KEY indicator is continuously indicated.
- Unlocking:
Press the pushbuttons ♦ simultaneously and hold them. The KEY indicator flashes. Release the pushbuttons when the KEY indicator is no longer indicated.
