External Trip Input
Overview
The External Trip Input (ETI) is an electrically isolated contact. The ETI works only on Healthy CT current/auxil-
iary power supply. The ETI is a scanning input which is OFF for 5 s and ON for 1 s. Any contact change during
ON time is detected by the relay.
The status of ETI can be viewed via LCD or Reydisp Evolution software or SCADA.
The 7SR46 Argus relay is equipped with 1 external trip input. You can assign the external trip input to Trip
Pulse O/P and general alarm functions under INPUT CONFIG ▶ INPUT MATRIX.
The external trip input has a fixed pickup time of 50 ms after the contacts are closed. External trip input can be
assigned to any binary output and programmable LEDs. It allows the relay to provide panel indications and
alarms.
