9 USER ADJUSTABLE SETTINGS
9.1 Parameter Groups
The HPB Relay has many user adjustable settings, which are stored in non-volatile memory. These can
be viewed and modified via the HDM Remote Display Module. The setting are split into two groups as
outlined below. The first group of parameters relates to settings, which are linked to the power system
rather than the particular load connected to the outlet. These are always stored in the HPB Relay.
9.1.1 Group 1 Settings
Table 5: Group 1 Settings
Determines if the pilot is to be terminated with a Resistor or a HTU-1 Termination
Unit
Sets the sensitivity for the Earth Leakage protection trip
Sets the trip time for the Earth Leakage protection EFLR
Sets the Earth Fault lockout level
Selects the test time for the Earth Fault lockout test to allow for line capacitance
Selects the under voltage trip threshold as a % of line volts
Selects which HPB output relay is tripped in event of a short circuit trip
Adjusts the sensitivity of HTU data receiver
The second group of settings consists of parameters that are related to the load connected to the
protected outlet. These settings are stored, retrieved to/from the memory in the HPB Relay or the
memory in the HTU-1 Termination Unit, depending on the “Pilot Mode” setting.
If the Resistor Pilot Mode is selected the HPB Relay reads and writes to and from the relay’s internal
memory for the group 2 settings.
If the HTU Pilot Mode is selected the settings are sent to and retrieved from the memory in the Remote
Termination Unit.
9.1.2 Group 2 Settings
Table 6: Group 2 Settings
Allows the HTU 1 to transmit a descriptive code to identify the machine connected to
the outlet
Allows the HTU 1 to transmit an assigned machine number
Sets the basic current range
Combines with OC range to define the full load current
Selects either very inverse or extremely inverse over-current curves
Modifies the basic over-current time curves to achieve the desired trip times
Adjusts the current phase balance trip level
Sets the short circuit trip level
Sets the trip time for the short circuit function
