Testing and Troubleshooting
Relay Self-Tests
Relay Self-Tests
The relay runs a variety of self-tests. The relay takes the following corrective
actions for out-of-tolerance conditions (see Table 13.10):
➤ Protection Disabled: The relay disables overcurrent elements
and trip/close logic. All output contacts are de-energized. The
EN front-panel LED is extinguished.
➤ ALARM Output: The ALARM output contact signals an alarm
condition by going to its de-energized state. If the ALARM output
contact is a b contact (normally closed), it closes for an alarm
condition or if the relay is de-energized. If the ALARM output
contact is an a contact (normally open), it opens for an alarm
condition or if the relay is de-energized. Alarm condition
signaling can be a single 5-second pulse (Pulsed) or permanent
(Latched).
➤ The relay generates automatic STATUS reports at the serial
port for warnings and failures.
➤ The relay displays failure messages on the relay LCD display
for failures.
Use the serial port STATUS command or front-panel {STATUS} pushbutton to
view relay self-test status.
