Fault Indication

4.1.4
The device indicates both the phase-fault and ground-fault on LEDs and to the remote monitoring units such
as SCADA through the 2 binary outputs.

Device Reset

4.1.5
The device can be reset from the fault indication mode by using any one of the following reset methods:
•
Manual Reset - Press the push button for resetting the device manually.
•
Remote Reset - Short the remote reset input terminals for a minimum of 1 s to perform the remote reset
of the device.
•
230 V AC Reset - Apply AC 230 V signal to the AC 230 V reset input terminals for 2 s.
•
Auto Reset - The fault indications are reset automatically after expiry of the auto-reset time set on the
device.
4.1.6

Push Button

The following functions are possible by using the push button:
•
Manual Reset - In fault indication mode, press the push button for resetting the device manually. The
manual reset stops the L1, L2, L3, and E LED blinking and switches the binary output from close to open
position.
•
Function Check - Press the push button for more than 1 s (and less than 3 s) and release it. The L1, L2,
L3, E, and yellow LED blinks in sequence for 5 s and it indicates that the device is functioning properly.
•
Battery Check - Press the push button for more than 3 s and release it. The device verifies the status of
battery and indicates the battery health state on yellow LED.

Battery Health Condition

4.1.7
The health of the battery can be checked by pressing the push button for more than 3 s and less than 10 s and
then releasing it. The battery health state is indicated on yellow LED. When the battery is healthy, the LED
glows continuously for 2 s and stops. When the battery is not healthy, the LED blinks for 5 s (1 blink/s).
4.1.8

Blinking Lamp Output

The blinking lamp output is used to indicate phase faults and ground faults in outdoor areas. The blinking
lamp is connected to the X2 terminal block of the device and indicates the fault. The blinking lamp output can
be connected to a suitable LED blinking lamp of maximum 2.5 mA consumption. For more information, refer
to Figure 4-2.

Binary Outputs

4.1.9
The device consists of 2 binary outputs (phase and ground). In normal operation, the binary outputs are in
open condition. When any fault is detected, the respective binary output changes from open position to close
position and remains in the position until the device is reset.
In the 6MD2310-0EX00-0AA0 variant (X represents the type of sensors), 1 NO and 1 NC contact binary
outputs are available. When the ground-fault is detected, both the binary outputs change their position from
open to close and from close to open and remain in that position until the device is reset.
