It is necessary to inspect the device at the time it is delivered to ensure that the relays have not been damaged during transport. If any defect is found, the transport company and FANOX should be informed immediately. If the relays are not for immediate use, they should be returned to their original packaging.
Fanox Electronic, S.L. adheres itself to the 1st additional disposal of the Spanish 11/97 Standard in which it is said that the final user of the containers should give them, properly segregated by materials, to an authorized recovery, recycler or valuer company.

SICom program, allowing a precise coordination with other devices. One of the most significant features of the SIA-C is that it eliminates the need for maintenance as it uses the operating current to power itself. Other additional benefit is that the models have been designed to be supplied from an external battery.
Page 52
There are up to three bistable magnetic indicators (depending on model) on the front of the SIA-C device. These indicate the causes of trips, and continue to give a signal even if the relay loses power. It is also fitted with up to three LED indicators. These LEDs are configurable thanks to the PGC.
Page 53
Due to the installation cubicle space of SIA-C devices, some different mechanics have been developed for the same devices. Mechanics D, E, G and F were developed with cubic size and mechanics type B and C have been designed with horizontal mechanic. In these last mechanics the flatness takes importance, being the depth of the device from the front to the border of the terminals 100,75 mm.

It must be possible to block the recloser, particularly if maintenance tasks are carried out on the substation. There are several SIA-C blocking and unblocking possibilities: ✓ From the HMI. There is a specific key marked 79, plus a specific signal led, allowing recloser operation, locking or unlocking it.

The feeder and supply will trip their functions as they see the fault. Supply’s time of operation is shorter than feeder’s time, so the feeder will open its breaker, making the fault disappear, and it will block the supply trip output preventing the opening of the supply’s breaker. www.fanox.com Rev. 81/217...

5.7 Date and Time by Real Time Clock (RTC) All models of relay SIA-C are provided with a real time clock (RTC), which can be synchronized by HMI or by communications. The RTC keeps the data updated, the time that the RTC keeps the date/time depends on the operating temperature.
5.8 Digital Inputs The SIA-C (depending on model) is provided with 2 digital inputs that can be configured by the user. The inputs can be configured from the HMI or through the SICom program. Physical inputs are the device’s real inputs. The SIA-C has two physical inputs: Input 1 and Input 2.
Firstly, it is defined the concept of physical input, physical output and logical signal. Physical inputs are the real inputs of the device. SIA-C device has, depending on model, up to two physical inputs (Input 1 and Input 2). These inputs are translated to two internal binary states which later, can be assigned to logical signal to get a specific operation.
Page 114
LOGIC CONTROL which can be configured from HMI or from SICom software. For each output there is a LOGICAL GATE. It can perform a logical operation up to 4 binary states to obtain other binary result. www.fanox.com Rev. 45 114/217...

To carry out commands from the remote, the user needs to be without pressing any key from the HMI for 5 minutes. Once any key is pressed, the relay will be in local communication automatically and will not be possible to carry out the command for security. www.fanox.com Rev. 45 122/217...
5.12 Test program The SIA-C device has a test menu that can be used to check the operation of the signalling components (LEDs and magnetic indicators), along with the trip output and the signalling outputs. This check is operative regardless of the type of power that is used. This means that the trip circuit and the signalling outputs can be tested with just a simple battery or a 12V battery in a facility without electricity supply.

5.13 Power supply The SIA-C device is designed to be self-powered using the cell current. It can also be powered by a 12V battery (KITCOM) and, optionally (which can be selected for each model) by an auxiliary power source (24 Vdc, 48 Vdc, 230 Vac or 100-230 Vac/dc).
Page 126
When the outputs are activated the consumption of the SIAC plus the KITCOM is 385 mA, so: With activated outputs (REGULAR TRIP)→1700 mAh/385 mA≈4hours To sum up, When the device is being powered from a KITCOM, it is capable of functioning for 4 hours. www.fanox.com Rev. 45 126/217...
Page 127
Besides, the possibility of using external battery power, together with the possibility of activating the trip contact from the test menu, allows the trip circuit to be tested before the transformation center is powered up. www.fanox.com Rev. 45 127/217...
It is also available a wider range of power supply (100-230 Vac) if it is required. 5.13.4 24 Vdc or 48 Vdc auxiliary power supply The 24 Vdc auxiliary power is taken from the transformation centre RTU power supply. SIA-C consumes approximately 200 mW in normal operation and 300 mW if SCADA communication is active.

The most critical case is produced when there is self-power (without auxiliary voltage or battery) and low current faults. In order to reduce to the maximum the SIA-C tripping time when there is a fault during the energization of the device, the model SIACXXXXXXX2XXX has been developed (with non- volatile RAM memory and fast startup).

5.14.2 SIA-C withdrawable model In this item it is developed the situation of trip onto fault of SIAC11500032AFA (withdrawable model). This relay is operative with 0.2 times the secondary rated single-phase current and with 0.1 times the secondary rated three-phase current; in other words, the device powers itself with 200 mA of single-phase current and with 100 mA of three-phase current.

(Not used for relay power supply, only for the trip). The opening mechanism is activated by means of a striker or a coil. The activation of the trip generates a pulse train. The device SIA-C solves the next situations during the activation of the opening mechanism: •...
It requires the use of SIA-C models with trip output for striker (SIACxxxx0xxxxx, SIACxxxx1xxxxx and SIACxxxx4xxxxx). The activation of the SIA-C trip output means that a capacitor has discharged on the output terminals. This discharge of energy is sufficient to activate a striker that mechanically acts on a mechanism to open the current circuit.
5.15.3 Coil activation by means of TCM adapter This device is connected to the relay trip output and supplies the energy (30 J) that is necessary to energise coil-activated opening mechanisms. TCM adapter is combined with SIA-C models that provided...

7 COMMUNICATION AND HMI 7.1 Communication The SIA-C relay can communicate with a local computer through its front RS232 port, or through a remote SCADA system through the rear RS485 port. The rear RS485 port is optional and must be specified on the list of models.
7.3 Rear communication. RS485 An option exists to fit the SIA-C with a rear communications port RS485, which must be specified when the model is selected. The RS485 port output has three terminals (+,- and GND), located on the rear of the device. The protocol that is used depends on model;...

7.5 LED Indicators The SIA-C front panel has up to three configurable LED pilot lights. By default, they show the type of power being used: self-power, battery or auxiliary power (in model with mechanic G LED 1 shows, by default, if the relay is not Ready (watchdog ). The LEDs are switched off when the power type that they represent is not active, and they blink when the power type that they represent is active.

This screen provides the user with access to read information about the settings parameters, measurements, status and events. All of this information is arranged in a system of menus. In some models this LCD is fitted with backlight.

Therefore, the secondary circuits of current transformers should never be opened. 8.7 Auxiliary power If an SIA-C relay with auxiliary power is required, this must be specified on the order reference. The amount of auxiliary power required for the SIA-C relay should be checked. www.fanox.com Rev.
8.8 RS232 Front communications port To perform this test, connect a PC with the SICom software program to the SIA-C relay, and check that there are no communication errors. If a laptop computer is used, the connector will probably be a USB. It is important to check the assigned communications port.
