One-Touch Function Keys
Quick access to frequently operated Form 6 control fea-
tures is provided with nine function key pushbuttons on the
control operator panel.
The Form 6 control operator panel one-touch function keys
are illustrated in Figure 8.
Red LEDs located on each function key indicate the status
of the function, regardless of local or remote activation. For
example, if Ground Trip Blocked is activated from a SCADA
signal, the red indicator will illuminate even though it was
not activated from the operator panel.
Operator panel function key activation or de-activation
requires the operator to first press the CHANGE key to
enter the CHANGE mode. A function must then be
selected or de-selected within ten seconds to activate or
de-activate the function. Once selected, the control returns
to normal operation until prompted for another change
request. This prevents accidental changing of functions or
features.
Note: Only one function can be changed per each CHANGE
mode activation.
GND TRIP BLOCKED
The Ground Trip Blocked function blocks all ground
sensing in the control for the active profile. This red
indicator is illuminated when Ground Trip Block is activated
from the serial port, I/O, the interface software, or locally
(via the front panel) causing the control to block all ground
sensing.
NON RECLOSING
The control is operating in a non-reclosing mode when the
NON RECLOSING red indicator is illuminated. Non-
reclosing mode disables any automatic reclosing operations.
Non-reclosing does not alter the active TCC. Activation is
possible from the SCADA port, I/O, the interface software,
or locally (via the front panel).
SUPERVISORY OFF
When the SUPERVISORY OFF red indicator is illuminated,
supervisory commands are blocked. Supervisory functions
through the back panel serial communication ports and the
discrete I/O are blocked. Serial communications through
the front panel RS-232 port remain active independent of
the status of the SUPERVISORY OFF switch. Activation of
this function key is restricted to the operator panel and is
accomplished by pressing the CHANGE key and then
pressing the SUPERVISORY OFF key. Operational data
and metering information are available while the control is
in the SUPERVISORY OFF position. The TRIP and CLOSE
pushbuttons and Hot Line Tag are active independent of
the SUPERVISORY OFF function.
ALTERNATE PROFILE #1, #2, and #3
The Form 6 control has four separate protection profiles; a
normal profile, and Alternate Profiles 1, 2, and 3. Each
profile changes all protection parameters for the control.
Except for the normal profile, each has an indication and
selection key. When the operator panel display lights are
active and none of the three indicators are on, the normal
profile is active. Only one profile can be active.
To select an alternate profile, press the CHANGE key and
then press the desired alternate profile.
To return to the normal profile, press the CHANGE key and
then press the active alternate profile to deselect it. These
functions can also be completed remotely via
communications interfaces.
OPTION #1, OPTION #2, AND OPTION #3
The OPTION #1, OPTION #2, and OPTION #3 function
keys must be programmed via the ProView Idea Workbench
software.
The OPTION LEDs are illuminated when the options
configured via the Idea Workbench are selected. Refer to
Service Information S280-70-4 (Proview 4.X.X) or S280-
70-21 (ProView 5.X.X) Form 6 Control Programming Guide
for additional information.
These OPTION keys provide a momentary signal. For
instance, these keys can be programmed to toggle control
status, protective functions, or a momentary input pulse.
The OPTION #1, OPTION #2, and OPTION #3 function
keys are intentionally not defaulted to any function. The
functions are assigned to each OPTION key via the Idea
Workbench application.

IMPORTANT: Unused alternate profiles should be
programmed with the same settings as one of the
applicable profiles. Default settings on unused alternate
profiles can cause unnecessary outages if they are
below normal system requirements.
IMPORTANT: Check minimum trip values prior to
changing an alternate profile to avoid misoperation of
the control under load conditions.
