# SETTING GROUPS

The Setting Groups menu controls the activation/deactivation of up to eight possible groups of settings in the
5
settings menu. The faceplate 'SETTINGS IN USE' LEDs indicate which active group (with a non-flashing energized
MENTS
LED) is in service.

"On". This can be useful in applications where it is undesirable to change the settings under certain conditions, such as the
breaker being open.

active for use by any grouped element. A priority scheme ensures that only one group is active at a given time – the high-
est-numbered group which is activated by its ACTIVATE ON parameter takes priority over the lower-numbered groups.
There is no "activate on" setting for group 1 (the default active group), because group 1 automatically becomes active if no
other group is active.
The relay can be set up via a FlexLogic™ equation to receive requests to activate or de-activate a particular non-default
settings group. The following FlexLogic™ equation (see the figure below) illustrates requests via remote communications
(e.g. VIRTUAL INPUT 1) or from a local contact input (e.g. H7a) to initiate the use of a particular settings group, and
requests from several overcurrent pickup measuring elements to inhibit the use of the particular settings group. The
assigned VIRTUAL OUTPUT 1 operand is used to control the ON state of a particular settings group.
