6.6 Control Mode
This mode provides convenient access to commonly used relay control and test functions. When any of the items
listed in the control menu are selected control is initiated by pressing the ENTER key. The user is prompted to
confirm the action, again by pressing the ENTER key, before the command is executed.
Note that a CB must be in a Closed state before an Open command will be accepted. And that a CB must be in
an Open state before a Close command will be accepted. If not, the Relay reports that the requested command is
‘Interlocked’.
Note also that switching a protection function IN / OUT via the Control Menu will not change that function’s
ENABLED / DISABLED setting. The Control Menu selection will over-ride the setting, however.
Control Mode commands are password protected using the Control Password function – see Section 6.9.
6.7 Real Time Clock
Time and date can be set either via the relay fascia using appropriate commands in the System Config menu or
via the data comms channel(s). Time and date are maintained while the relay is de-energised by a back up
storage capacitor. The length of time for which this data will be maintained will depend on such things as
temperature, length of time in service, etc. However the data will be maintained for a minimum of 1.8 days.
