    4. Operation and configuration 4.1. LED indicator functions Both the AQ-101LV and its AQ-101DLV variant have twelve (12) indication LEDs. Apart from the "Power" and "Error" LEDs, the user can write their own identifications for each of the remaining LEDs on the text insert located in the transparent pocket next to the LEDs.
  • Page 15: Push-Button (Set)

    Unless the button is pressed, the latched trip relays remain active until the auxiliary power is disconnected. All LED indications also remain active even when the auxiliary power supply is disconnected unless the button is pressed. Please refer to the "Non-volatile memory" chapter for more information. © Arcteq Relays Ltd...

    DIP switches numbered 1…4 ("Scheme selection"). For detailed instructions on each of the available schemes please refer to the AQ-SAS™ booklet (can be found at arcteq.fi/downloads/). Please note that there are four booklets: two are for schemes based on IEC standards (MV and LV versions) and the other two for schemes based on ANSI standards (MV and LV versions).

  • Page 20: Non-Volatile Memory

    This feature is especially important if tripping causes the unit to lose its auxiliary power. The non-volatile memory does not require a power supply to maintain the information and it retains the settings and the indications permanently without power. © Arcteq Relays Ltd...

    When requested, the ends of an AQ-07 cable can be covered with black rubber to avoid light detection outside the protected zone (see the figure below). The covered area can be as large or small as necessary. For more information, please consult your nearest Arcteq representative. Figure. 5.4. - 12. AQ-07 sensor with covered ends.

    It is not recommended to cut or splice the cable on-site. However, if cutting or splicing is necessary due to the cable breaking, please contact your nearest Arcteq representative for instructions. The fixed light intensity threshold of an AQ-08 sensor is 8,000 lux. The sensor does not require further settings by the user.
  • Page 25: Connecting Sensors

    Please note that AQ-07 and AQ-08 glass fibers can be covered with additional tubing, if the fiber sensor's placing requires the blocking of unwanted light activation. For more detailed instructions on both the installation and the tubing processes, please refer to the "Connecting sensors" chapter in the AQ-0x instruction booklet (arcteq.fi/downloads). © Arcteq Relays Ltd...
