4.1 Description Description Device Functions 4.1.1 This section describes the functions of SICAM FPI. Fault Detection 4.1.2 Phase Detection Single Fault - In the L1, L2, L3 phase, if single fault is detected and the fault current persists for greater than or equal to the set response time, the respective LED blinks to indicate a single fault (1 blink/s) and the phase binary output contact changes its state from open contact to close contact.

For example, set the DIP 3 to OFF, DIP 4 to ON, and DIP 5 to OFF to get the response time as 80 ms. By default, the factory response-time setting is 40 ms. The following table shows the response time settings of the device. SICAM, Fault Passage Indicator, Manual E50417-H1040-C580-A7, Edition 11.2019...

To apply the changes in the DIP switch settings, run the complete function test by pressing the push button for less than 3 s. The following diagrams show the DIP switch settings label for the different device variants. SICAM, Fault Passage Indicator, Manual E50417-H1040-C580-A7, Edition 11.2019...
When the ground-fault is detected, both the binary outputs change their position from open to close and from close to open and remain in that position until the device is reset. SICAM, Fault Passage Indicator, Manual E50417-H1040-C580-A7, Edition 11.2019...
