Feeder Protection Relay REF 610 1MRS 755539 Operator’s Manual - ANSI Version 3.1.11. How to switch between front and rear connection There are two means of serial communication available for the relay: the front connection for SPA bus communication and optional rear communication modules for communication via the SPA bus, IEC 60870-5-103, MODBUS (RTU or ASCII) or DNP 3.0 protocol.
3.1.12. How to select the protocol for rear communication When REF 610 is provided with a communication module for the built-in communication protocols, it allows you to choose the communication protocol for rear connection. If REF 610 is equipped with a protocol specific communication module, no communication protocol selections are allowed.
Feeder Protection Relay REF 610 1MRS 755539 Operator’s Manual - ANSI Version 3.2. HMI operation levels The HMI menu consists of a user level and a technical level. The user level is used for measuring and monitoring whereas the technical level is used for advanced protection relay setting and can be configured to demand a password.

Feeder Protection Relay REF 610 1MRS 755539 Operator’s Manual - ANSI Version 3.3.1. Target LEDs When a protection element pickups or generates an alarm, the yellow target LED will be lit. When a protection element trips, the yellow target LED will remain lit and the red target LED will be lit.
REF 610 Feeder Protection Relay 1MRS 755539 Operator’s Manual - ANSI Version The yellow target LED will continue blinking for as long as a protection element remains blocked. The blocking target will disappear with the digital input signal or when the protection element is no longer picked up.
Feeder Protection Relay REF 610 1MRS 755539 Operator’s Manual - ANSI Version 3.3.2.1. Operation target messages When a protection element picks up, the text PICKUP will appear on the display along with the name of the function. Additionally, in case of a latching pickup target, the name of the energizing input(s) which caused the fault will be displayed (except for the thermal protection and phase discontinuity protection).
REF 610 Feeder Protection Relay 1MRS 755539 Operator’s Manual - ANSI Version DEF. TRIP ALARM Fig. 3.3.2.1.-4 Definite Trip-alarm target Latching and non-latching targets A latching operation target message will remain on the display until manually cleared or until replaced by a message of higher priority. However, if the fault is stable and has not disappeared, the operation target message and the LED(s) will not be cleared.

REF 610 Feeder Protection Relay 1MRS 755539 Operator’s Manual - ANSI Version May be corrected by formatting to the factory setting. The user-defined values will be set to zero during the internal fault state. Warning In case of a less severe fault (warning), the relay will continue to operate except for those protection functions possibly affected by the fault.

REF 610 Feeder Protection Relay 1MRS 755539 Operator’s Manual - ANSI Version Fig. 3.4.1.-1 Checking the order number of the relay 3.4.2. Detaching and installing the plug-in unit Prior to detaching the plug-in unit from the case, the auxiliary voltage must be disconnected.
Feeder Protection Relay REF 610 1MRS 755539 Operator’s Manual - ANSI Version However, it is highly recomended that all characters in the order number of the substitute plug-in unit, exept for those for indicating a spare part, should match the ones of the case.
Additionally, correct operation of input and output signals to and from the relay should be verified. REF 610 is a numerical protection relay with functionality implemented in the relay software configuration. Software functionality does not change over time and the relay performs extensive self-supervision during operation.
REF 610 Feeder Protection Relay 1MRS 755539 Operator’s Manual - ANSI Version Relay commissioning includes: 1. Verifying that the correct application-specific settings have been entered into the relay. This is done by reading the relay settings either via the HMI or serial communication and comparing these to the calculated application-specific settings.
Feeder Protection Relay REF 610 1MRS 755539 Operator’s Manual - ANSI Version 4.2.2. Preventive parts replacement When being used for real-time clock and recorded data functions, the battery should be changed every five years; refer to section Inserting and changing the battery.

Feeder Protection Relay REF 610 1MRS 755539 Operator’s Manual - ANSI Version Spare parts 5.1. Plug-in unit The relay’s construction allows a spare part in form of a plug-in unit. The outage time can therefore be reduced to a minimum in case the relay should fail.
Please contact the manufacturer or the nearest representative for further information on checking, overhaul and recalibration of the relay. When contacting ABB for ordering repair services, give a description of the fault and state the fault code, if applicable.
