PHASE CURRENT DATA
If the relay is in Setpoints mode or Actual Values mode and no key is pressed for more than four minutes the
display will change to, (factory default settings)
I1= XXX
I3= XXX
which is the second line in Actual Values page 1. This default display line can be changed in Setpoints page 5.
When in this mode the [PAGE L], [PAGE M], [LINE L], and [LINE M] keys (see Section 3.2: CONTROLS
AND INDICATORS on page 3–2) can be used to examine all of the actual motor data outlined above.
a) STARTS/HOUR TIMER
An individual starts/hour timer is activated each time a motor start condition is detected and starts to time out
beginning from 60 minutes. All starts/hour timers can be viewed in Actual Values page 1, line 7. If the number
of starts/hour programmed in Setpoints page 1, line 7 is exceeded within one hour, a start/hour inhibit is initi-
ated with a lockout time equal to the smallest start/hour timer. A maximum of five starts/hour may be pro-
grammed, or the setpoint can be turned OFF.
In the case of an emergency, when the lockout time has to be bypassed and an additional start is required, the
Emergency Restart button can be pushed (Terminals #54 and 55 temporarily shorted) making the smallest
start/hour timer zero, resetting the inhibit and effectively allowing an additional start. Note that the other timers
continue to time out unaffected.
Every time the Emergency Restart button is pushed, another timer is emptied and an additional start/hour is
allowed. For example, pushing the Emergency Restart button again will empty the second timer and two more
starts/hour are allowed before another start/hour inhibit is initiated.
