6.3.3.1 Settings for steps 1 to 4
n means step 1 and 4. x means step 1, 2, 3 and 4.
DirModex: The directional mode of step x. Possible settings are Off/Non-directional/
Forward/Reverse.
Characteristn: Selection of time characteristic for step n. Definite time delay and
different types of inverse time characteristics are available according to table 15. Step
2 and 3 are always definite time delayed.

The different characteristics are described in Technical manual.
Ix>: Operate phase current level for step x given in % of IBase.
tx: Definite time delay for step x. The definite time tx is added to the inverse time when
inverse time characteristic is selected.
kn: Time multiplier for inverse time delay for step n.
IMinn: Minimum operate current for step n in % of IBase. Set IMinn below Ix> for
every step to achieve ANSI reset characteristic according to standard. If IMinn is set
above Ix> for any step the ANSI reset works as if current is zero when current drops
below IMinn.
