The device is split between two offerings: a Basic (Cat. No. CEP7-1EE) and Advanced (Cat. No. CEP7-1EF) version. The Basic offering allows adjustable trip current and limited trip class selection. The Advanced version offers the same adjustable trip current, a larger selection of trip classes, and the ability to add additional accessory modules.
Trip Current and Trip Class. This chapter also describes the accessory modules that are available for the Advanced (CEP7-1EF) CEP7 relay. Before You Begin Before you configure the CEP7 relay, you must install it onto a contactor or DIN Rail, or mount it on a panel. See page 5 for a list of related installation instructions.
Cat. No. CEP7-1EGJ Universal Protection Expansion Module The Cat. No. CEP7-1EGJ Universal Protection expansion module adds Ground fault and Jam protection to the Advanced version (CEP7-1EF) of the CEP7 relay. The add-on module lets you select the jam current level, jam trip delay, and ground fault level.

CEP7 Solid-state Overload All CEP7 relay units include a trip indicator window on the front of the unit labeled “Status”. If the red indicator is not visible, the overload relay is not Relay tripped.
If the issue persists, consider replacing the communication interface cable. Remote Indication Display There are four LED status indicators on the front of the Cat. No. CEP7-ERID and CEP7-1ERIDN modules. These status indicators show Module Power/ Status, Overload, Phase Loss, and Fault Status. See Figure Figure 7 - Cat.

11 Flashing Test Trip (1) An Overload warning occurs when the CEP7 overload reaches 90% thermal capacity utilization (TCU ). The overload trips at 100% TCU. (2) Phase Loss warning is active if the overload detects a Phase Loss condition. The warning is maintained for 3 seconds before a Phase Loss Trip occurs.
