  HMI operation 
By  using  the  LCD  screen,  the  operation  keys  and  the  function  keys,  the  user  can  access 
functions such as recording, monitoring, relay setting and testing. 
Note: The operation of the LCD screen is more or less common in all IED models. 
However, the contents of the LCD screen depend upon the IED model.

Note: If another fault occurs during the period of time for which the previous fault pop-
up screen, is displayed, the previous fault information will be overwritten by the 
new fault on the pop-up screen. Press the key CANCEL to remove the pop-up 
screen for “Latest Fault” to return to the previous screen.

Note: Press the key CLEAR to turn off the LED. 
 
(ii)  Main-menu and Sub-menu 
➢  Main-menu 
If LCD screen is turned off, press any key, except the key CLEAR. “Main-Menu" will 
appear on the LCD screen (see the left of Figure 12.2-1). To go to the next level of 
hierarchy, press the key ►. 
 
➢  Sub-menu 
An example of setting the sub-menu screen is shown in the right of Figure 12.2-1. By 
using the key ▼ and the key ▲, the user can move the cursor downward or upward 
to view all of the items. By using the keys  ◄ ►, the user can return to a previous 
level of hierarchy or go to the next level of hierarchy.   
 
➢  Screen structure 
The screen is composed of a title area and a data area. The title area is fixed on the 
top two lines. The first line displays the screen title. The second line on the left-hand 
side displays local time, whereas the right-hand side displays either the current line 
number, cursor position number and the maximum page number, or the item number. 
For  example,  the  display  “2/4”  means  the  current  cursor  position,  which  is  at  the 
second item of a maximum of four items.
