CHAPTER 5: SETTINGS
The test consists of the following three stages:
1. All 62 LEDs on the relay are illuminated. This is a quick test to verify if any of the LEDs is "burned." This stage lasts as
long as the control input is on, up to a maximum of 1 minute. After 1 minute, the test ends.
2. All the LEDs are turned off, and then one LED at a time turns on for 1 second, then back off. The test routine starts at
the top left panel, moving from the top to bottom of each LED column. This test checks for hardware failures that lead
to more than one LED being turned on from a single logic point. This stage can be interrupted at any time.
3. All the LEDs are turned on. One LED at a time turns off for 1 second, then back on. The test routine starts at the top left
panel moving from top to bottom of each column of the LEDs. This test checks for hardware failures that lead to more
than one LED being turned off from a single logic point. This stage can be interrupted at any time.
When testing is in progress, the LEDs are controlled by the test sequence, rather than the protection, control, and
monitoring features. However, the LED control mechanism accepts all the changes to LED states generated by the relay
and stores the actual LED states (on or off) in memory. When the test completes, the LEDs reflect the actual state resulting
from relay response during testing. The reset pushbutton does not clear any targets when the LED Test is in progress.
A dedicated FlexLogic operand,
the LED TEST INITIATED event is stored in the event recorder.
The entire test procedure is user-controlled. In particular, stage 1 can last as long as necessary, and stages 2 and 3 can be
interrupted. The test responds to the position and rising edges of the control input defined by the
setting. The control pulses must last at least 250 ms to take effect. The following diagram explains how the test is
executed.
Application example 1
Assume one needs to check if any of the LEDs is "burned" through user-programmable pushbutton 1. Apply the following
settings.
