RS232 Communication Port
The standard Form 5/Triple-Single control is equipped
with an operator panel RS232 port for interface with a per-
sonal computer running the Form 5/Triple-Single interface
software program. This nine-pin female data communica-
tion equipment (DCE) Port 1 permits the uploading of all
programming information stored in the control, including
protection profiles, event recorder, data profiles, alarms,
counters, and metering information. Port 1 provides a sim-
ple means to download operating parameters from a per-
sonal computer to the control.The protocol, baud rate and
address for Port 1 are identified from the LCD display.
If a fiber-optic or RS232 accessory board is connected to
Port 2 (located on the back of the operator panel) any
external electrical connection from the operator panel will
disable the accessory board.
Note: The operator panel RS232 port is intended only for tem-
porary connection of a personal computer. Permanent
serial communications must be made via the RS232 or
fiber-optic accessory board.
LCD Display
The control operator panel has a large, backlit LCD dis-
play (Figure 8) used for viewing control parameters and
monitoring system conditions. Data is organized into
messages or "screens" of information, with each screen
containing four lines of information, with up to 20 charac-
ters per line. Access to the messages is obtained through
navigational keys which permit the user to scroll through
the menu in a timely and efficient manner.
When an overcurrent trip occurs, the control automatically
displays the fault current values as shown on the LCD dis-
play as Screen 2 (see LCD Display Messages section of
this manual).

Pressing the NEXT key causes the LCD display to scroll
to the next screen of available information. Pressing and
holding the NEXT key causes the control to scroll to sub-
sequent screens at the rate of about two screens per
second.

Pressing the BACK key causes the LCD display to scroll
to the previous screen of available information. Pressing
and holding the BACK key causes the control to scroll to
previous screens at a faster rate.
RESET TARGETS/RESET MAX
CURRENT Key
Pressing the RESET TARGETS/RESET MAX CURRENT
key will reset the fault target indicators on the control oper-
ator panel. The fault current values shown on Screen 1 of
the LCD display will reset to values of zero.
Pressing and holding the RESET TARGETS/RESET
MAX CURRENT key for three seconds will reset the min-
imum and maximum current and histogram values in LCD
Display Screens 34 through 37. This key will also reset the
Trip Failure Detection feature. See the Control Features
section of this manual.
CHANGE/LAMP TEST Key
Pressing this key for less than three seconds places the
control into a CHANGE mode for 10 seconds as indicated
by the LCD display. CHANGE mode permits the user to
change the state of the nine function/indicator switches on
the operator panel. Security is enhanced by permitting a
only one selection for each CHANGE mode period.
Pressing and holding the CHANGE/LAMP TEST key for
three seconds will cause the control to perform a front-
panel lamp test. In the Lamp Test Mode, the status indi-
cators flash three times (one second on, one second off).
All status indicators then return to their previous state.
While in the Lamp Test Mode, the control response to
operator panel keys is disabled, except for the TRIP
(LOCKOUT), CLOSE, and HOT LINE TAG switches.
