Power conversion: It consists of rectifier which converts the incoming AC signal to a pulsating dc level, which is passed through filter and other logic in order to deliver a clean and denounced dc signal. 

Threshold detector: 

It detects if monitoring signal has reached or exceeded a predetermined value. A valid ON sate will be between 80- 132V ac. The upper voltage limit for a valid OFF state is below 20V. The voltage between 20V and 80V is called undefined zone.
