A relay for automatically selecting a monitoring range for monitoring a parameter of an input source and a method for monitoring a parameter of an input source can be provided whereby the relay comprises one or more terminals for coupling to the input source; a plurality of switchable circuits coupled to the one or more terminals; a processing module coupled to the plurality of switchable circuits for automatically selecting a monitoring range from a plurality of monitoring ranges based on a value of the parameter of the input source, each monitoring range associated with one or more of said switchable circuits; and a relay switch being configured to provide or disrupt electrical communication to a circuit, based on a trigger signal provided by the processing module. A signal conditioning module may also be provided for e.g. conditioning signals prior to selection of the monitoring range.
A relay for automatically selecting a monitoring range for monitoring a parameter of an input source, the relay comprising:
The relay of 2, wherein the processing module is configured to instruct at least one switch of the at least two switches of the switching module to be in the open state or the closed state based on the value of the parameter of the input source.
The relay of 3, wherein the processing module is configured to sample the value of the parameter of the input source and to generate an assessment of the plurality of monitoring ranges for automatically selecting the monitoring range.
A method for monitoring a parameter of an input source, the method comprising:
The method of 13, wherein selecting the monitoring range comprises instructing at least one switch of the at least two switches of the switching module to be in the open state or the closed state based on the value of the parameter of the input source.
A non-transitory computer readable data storage medium storing instructions for monitoring a parameter of an input source, the instructions being executable by a processing module of the relay, the instructions configured to instruct the relay to:
