(MR) 8-4
2. EVENT & FAULT RECORDS
The relay records and time tags up to 512 events and stores them in non-volatile (battery
backed up) memory. This enables the system operator to establish the sequence of events
that occurred within the relay following a particular power system condition, switching
sequence etc. When the available space is exhausted, the oldest event is automatically
overwritten by the new one.
The real time clock within the relay provides the time tag to each event, to a resolution of
1ms.
The event records are available for viewing either via the front plate LCD or remotely, via the
communications port.
Local viewing on the LCD is achieved in the menu column entitled "VIEW RECORDS". This
column allows viewing of event, fault and maintenance records. Different columns exist in
the Central unit and the Peripheral Unit.
The column for the Central Unit is shown below. The column displayed in the Peripheral
Units is shown underneath.
