9.2  Overcurrent trip unit with LCD display 
The electronic trip units with LCD display have the following operating features: 
●  No auxiliary voltage is necessary for the tripping system. 
●  Current display 
●  An illuminated green LCD display indicates correct operation of the microprocessor 
●  Overload status (I > 1.05 x I
R
) is indicated by "overload" on the LCD display 
●  Direct, user-friendly, menu-driven setting of the absolute values of the protection 
parameters in the Ampere values via keys 
●  Integral self-test function 
●  Plug-in socket for tester 
●  Communication link to PROFIBUS DP and Modbus
