2.6.2.3 Mode 2
In order to supervise section between trip contact
compartment and circuit breaker compartment when
CB is in open position, a control diagram used in Mode 2
[Figure 2.40] can be used by adding two additional wires
to circuit breaker compartment.
It should be noted that by using this scheme, both of
trip circuit supervision digital inputs are connected in
serial. The case occurs when circuit breaker is in open
position and none of trip contacts is active. This
situation will result in a valid position when both of the
contacts are active.
After the Delay00 time elapses.

Mode 2 setting.

Figure 2.40 Trip circuit supervision with two digital inputs
tailored for full line control of trip circuit in both positions of
circuit breaker. The diagram also implies aditional digital input
to be used as circuit breaker closed position.
Please note that a trip line inside the trip
contact compartment (example can be
seen on Figure 2.40) cannot be supervised
using any of the schemes mentioned in this
section.
2.6.2.4 Mode 3
Mode 3 is a single TCS input mode. The benefit of using
one digital input is that no additional wiring from the
device to the circuit breaker compartment is needed. It
should be noted that by using this scheme an additional
external resistor is needed. By using the resistor a trip
circuit is supervised in closed and opened position of CB.
