Note:  Make sure the new password has been written down before it is 
entered and that the password being entered agrees with the 
written copy before accepting it.  If the new password is not 
entered correctly you may be denied access in the future. If the 
password is lost a unique back-up password for that relay can be 
provided from the factory, or certain agents, if the serial number of 
the product is quoted. 
3.4.8  Restoration of password protection 
Password protection is reinstated when the alarm LED stops flashing, this will occur 
fifteen minutes after the last key press.  To restore the password protection without 
waiting for the fifteen minute time-out, select the password cell and hold the reset key [0] 
depressed for one second.  The alarm LED will cease to flash to indicate the password 
protection is restored.  Password protection is also restored when the default display is 
selected (see Chapter 3.3.1). 
3.4.9  Entering text 
Enter the setting mode as described in Chapter 3.4.2 and move the cursor with the [F] 
key to where the text is to be entered or changed.  Then using the [+] and [–] keys, select 
the character to be displayed.  The [F] key may then be used to move the cursor to the 
position of the next character and so on.  Follow the instructions in Chapter 3.4.3 to exit 
from the setting change. 
3.4.10  Changing function links 
Select the page heading required and step down to the function links “SD Links”, 
“Function Links”, or LOG Links” and press either the [+] or [–] to put the relay in a setting 
change mode.  A cursor will flash on the bottom line at the extreme left position. This is 
link “F”; as indicated by the character printed on the front plate under the display. 
Press the [F] key to step along the row of links, one link at a time, until some text appears 
on the top line that describes the function of a link.  The [+] key will change the link to a 
“1” to select the function and the [–] key will change it to a “0” to deselect it.  Follow the 
instructions in Chapter 3.4.3 to exit from the setting change. 
Not all links can be set, some being factory selected and locked.  The links that are 
locked in this way are usually those for functions that are not supported by a particular 
relay, when they will be set to “0”.  Merely moving the cursor past a link position does not 
change it in any way. 
3.4.11  Changing setting values 
Move through the menu until the cell that is to be edited is displayed.  Press the [+] or [–] 
key to put the relay into the setting change mode.  A cursor will flash in the extreme left 
hand position on the bottom line of the display to indicate that the relay is ready to have 
the setting changed.  The value will be incremented in single steps by each momentary 
press of the [+] key, or if the [+] key is held down the value will be incremented with 
increasing rapidity until the key is released.  Similarly, the [–] key can be used to 
decrement the value.  Follow the instructions in Chapter 3.4.3  to exit from the setting 
change. 
Note:  When entering CT RATIO or VT RATIO the overall ratio should be 
entered, i.e. 2000/5A CT has an overall ratio of 400:1.  With rated 
current applied the relay will display 5A when CT RATIO has the 
default value of 1:1 and when the ratio is set to 400:1 the displayed 
value will be 400 x 5 = 2000A. 
3.4.12  Setting communication address 
The communication address will be set to 255, the global address to all relays on the 
network, when the relay is first supplied.  Reply messages are not issued from any relay 
for a global command, because they would all respond at the same time and result in 
contention on the bus.  Setting the address to 255 will ensure that when first connected to 
the network they will not interfere with communications on existing installations.  The 
communication address can be manually set by selecting the appropriate cell for the 
SYSTEM DATA column, entering the setting mode as described in Chapter 3.4.2 and
