1.4 Arc Configuration

The Arc Configuration screen provides configuration settings for each of the 16 Sensor inputs.
Figure 5: RA24 Arc Configuration
There are 4 settable parameters for each sensor input:
State
Armed or disabled, defines if the Sensor input is enabled or disabled, click on the field to change the state
and enter the user name and password if prompted.
Trip 1 & 2 Output Contacts
The RA24 provides two high speed tripping output contacts (Trip 1&2). These may be employed for local
tripping functions and for system testing purposes. Each sensor input may be set to trip either of the output
contacts. The arc trip contacts will self-reset after a 2s delay. The trip indication LED is reset either by pressing
the front panel reset button, via the remote reset status input or via IEC61850 control.
Trip 1
Yes or No, determines if the Sensor input operates the Trip 1 output, click on the field to change the state
and enter the user name and password if prompted
Trip 2
Yes or No, determines if the Sensor input operates the Trip 2 output, click on the field to change the state
and enter the user name and password if prompted.
Zone
The Zone Setting provides a means of improving Goose response time for simultaneous trips in a single Arc
Fault tripping zone. The Zone setting ensures that a Goose is immediately broadcast without having to wait
for the updating of all arc detectors in the same corresponding zone. Allowable Zone values are from 1 to
16. Set the Zone value the same for sensors located in the same zone. Click on the field to alter the Zone
value
