2.1.3.2 Protection Healthy LED
The steady illumination of Protection Healthy LED indicates that required CT current is 0.20xIn (minimum phase
current) in single phase or 0.13xIn (minimum phase current) in three phases.
2.1.3.3 Trip Ready LED
The steady illumination of Trip Ready LED indicates that required CT current is 0.20xIn (minimum phase current)
in single phase or 0.13xIn (minimum phase current) in three phases and the relay is having sufficient energy to
trip through the impulse output.
2.2 Home Screen
After the relay is powered on, the user can access or navigate to other menus from the Home Screen.
The following operations can be performed from the Home Screen:
ENTER Press ENTER key to navigate to SETTING MODE

2.3 Password Protection
7SR45 self powered overcurrent and earth fault relay allow the user to set the password via SETTING MODE >
SYSTEM CONFIG > PASSWORD. The length of the password should be 4 characters. Alphanumeric and
3 special characters such as “+”, “–“, and “/” are allowed.
The user password can be disabled by configuring as NONE.
From the parameter view screen, the user enters the password and presses ENTER for validation. If the entered
password is valid, the next screen appears. If the password is invalid, LCD displays the password retry screen
again.
After the successful login and editing of parameter, password prompt screen does not appear till the login expires.
If the user does not perform any operation for more than 1 minute, the login expires and unsaved settings will be
discarded.
