8.1
ESD
electrostatic charges
The device uses electronic components that are sensitive to
electrostat
ic charges;
therefore, the operator
who happens
to
handle the moving part of the equipment and come into contact
with the electronc circuits, must take preventive measures to
avoid damaging the relay:
- before removing the moving part, the
operator shall reach the
same potential as the unit by touching the housing (for instance,
the cover grips);
- avoid touching
electronic component
s, printed circuits and
connectors;
- lay the element on surfaces that are antistatic or feature zero
potential.
As far as the following action is possible, do
not pull out the moving
part from the
casing to avoid
causing mechanical and electrostatic
damages to the protection.
8.2 Acceptance-storage
Although protective relays are generally of
solid construction,
they require to be handled with particular care before being
installed on site. They must be carefully packed and unpacked
without applying any force and using suitable tools.
Once supplied, the relays must be throughly inspec
ted to ensure
that they have been not damaged during the transp
ort.
If the relays are not
immediately instal
led upon reception, they
must be stored in places free from dust or moisture, in their
original casing.
Storage temperature: -25°C + 80°C.
8.3 Assembling and connection
- Remove the protec
tion
guard
to allow the four fast
ening holes
to be reached.
- Place the device into the hole of the pane
l-board and secure it
by fastening the four screws (see fig. 4).
- Connect the ground screw of
the device to the panel's grounding
system through a cable of suitable gauge (>4mm
2
) and shortest
length (<1m).
- Perform the wiring using the screw or faston couplings of the
interface terminal boards. In order to guarantee the terminal
board the protection class IP20 required, during the faston wiri
ng
the cover lid must be placed before the faston is connected to the
relay. During the screw wiring the side fins
of the IP20 cover lid
correspondin
g to the wired terminals must be removed or bent.
The assembling as well as the connections shall be workmanlike
performed.
9. SETTING THE UNIT AT WORK
The device is supplied with factory s
ettings and configurations as
indicated in tables A, B and C
(factory settings)
.
These settings may prove not to suit the
specific plant where the
unit is to be installed. Therefore, the device must be reset: to this
aim, refer to tables D, E and F for customer's use as support to
develop a customised setting scheme.
9.1 Safety regulations
During the equipment tests and start-up the general safety
regulations applicabl
e to
electrical systems must be complied
with. Failure to comply
with the above-mentioned regulations
might cause harm to personnel or damage to property. All the
inspections and tests shall be carried out by
specially trained
personnel.
9.2 Checking nameplate ratings
Make sure that the equipment ratings are consistent w
ith those of
the system, namely:
- auxiliary voltage
- output relays normally energized or normally de-energi
zed; the
control
must be carrie
d out by checking t
he position of th
e
cordless plug placed on the board (see fig. 2a, 2b)
- the presence of the special S6 cordless plug, see fig.1, if the
communicatio
n board is included and the network is available.
I
CAUTION
Hazardous voltages
can
remain in
the
unit
even in
the
absence of power supply
, or after it has been pulled out of
its casing (capacitor storage).
9.3 Final inspection
Feed the device with auxiliary voltage. On
starting the device after
a long time of power failure, the device can show a fault of 'L' typ
e
(internal clock), a
NOT VITAL
fault which
does not
affect the
remaining functions: please, update DATE
and TIME
to restore
normal conditions.
If the system is
running and the device settings are unknown, in
order to avoid any malfunctioning, it is necessary to inhibit the
device operation, before using the auxiliary voltage,
by pressing
the setting change key
(see
paragraphs 4.12 and 6.1.13).
Select
the rated fre
quency of the syste
m, the Ub
(bar side) an
d
Ug (generator side) rated voltages and set the TV primary voltage
values.
Load the settings an
d
configure rela
ys, leds, digital inpu
ts as
provided for in the design plan.
As the device is provided with a self-monitoring system, all
hardware and software failures are automatically signalled: this
makes it useless to control the thresholds for accuracy, which
can however be tested by making reference to the stated
tolerances.
