    MR-REF & MR-REF3 monitors the earth current/s by means of conventional ring type current transformers with typically 1A or 5A secondary outputs. This measured current is then used by the MR-REF & MR-REF3 to determine tripping or alarm functions in order to interrupt the main switching device and protect the circuit or transformer from damage.

    4.1. Power Supply Live. The MR-REF & MR-REF3 requires a permanent AC or DC Voltage to supply the unit as specified by the relay rating label. This auxiliary live is also used as the source voltage to power the digital inputs.

    Issue 3, November 2013 5. Faceplate Functions. The MR-REF & MR-REF3 faceplate has been designed to provide an intuitive easy to use display allowing access to all the required information an operator would require. This is achieved by using tri-colour LED indications and a LCD display driven by 4 function keys.
  • Page 13: Lcd Display

    MENU Upon power up the MR-REF & MR-REF3 software version screen appears for a few seconds. The screen shows the software version and the unit type, which should be noted in all correspondence regarding the relay. After the Introduction screen disappears then the initial display scroll page appears.

    Feeder Number. This setting range 1 to 32, with a default setting of 1, identifies the MR-REF & MR-REF3 unit to the Xcell unit (or any Master device connected to the Data highway) to which the RS485 port is connected. When updating firmware the auto program mode requires the drive number to be 1.
  • Page 17 This setting need only be used in order to limit the amount of data traffic on a RS485 network. Dynamic data can change rapidly, this setting allows the MR-REF & MR-REF3 to limit the number of updates it makes to its Fast Scan values.

    6.5.1 Digital Inputs The MR-REF & MR-REF3 provides 2 digital inputs which can be configured to one of the functions described below. Otherwise the digital input defaults are Not Used. Reset Fault.
  • Page 19: Relay Outputs

    6.5.2 Relay Outputs The MR-REF & MR-REF3 provides 4 changeover contact relay outputs, three of which can be configured to one of the functions described below. Otherwise the programmable relay output defaults are Not Used. Relay 1 is fixed as Trip Trip.

    Time Sync Delay. The MR-REF & MR-REF3 can be time synchronised by either, Chronovision which is a GPS based device which sits on the RS485 network and synchronises the time and date of each connected unit, or via broadcast command on the daisy chained RS485 modbus network.

    To help extend the life of the LCD we can power the display down if the application suits. The screen will power down after the set time from the last key press. The MR-REF & MR-REF3 will still operate and can be remotely controlled via digital inputs or the serial interface.

    MR-REF & MR-REF3 Technical Manual Issue 3, November 2013 6.7. Protect Settings. This menu allows the user to configure all of the protective functions. DISPLAYED: FULL DETAIL: Restricted Earth Fault Ser Tmout Serial Timeout Intnl Err Internal Error Each function can be set to Alarm and / or Trip and / or Block or left as an unused function, disabled. The resets for each are protective function are independently configurable as are the trip levels and trip times.
  • Page 23: Function

    A Trip is considered as a high level function. If the function activates it will be recorded as part of the trip history and cause the MR-REF & MR-REF3 to enter a trip state; the fault will be displayed in the active faults page and the unit will automatically display that page, the right hand LED will give a Trip indication (red colour).
  • Page 24: Restricted Earth Fault

    For a set period of inactivity on the rear communication port the unit can be configured to take some action in the event. It is worth noting that the MR-REF & MR-REF3 device is slave to any host system, the unit will not send information via the serial port unless it has been requested by a master device.
