All relay fascias have the same appearance and support the same access keys. The basic menu structure is also
the same in all products and consists of four main menus, these being,

Instruments Mode - allows the user to see the conditions that the relay is experiencing i.e. current, voltage etc.
Fault Data Mode - allows the user to see type and data of any fault that the relay has detected.
Control Mode - allows the user to control external plant under the relays control for example the CB
