  • Page 8 Figure. 4 - 1. Arc protection device AQ-110PLV. The AQ-110PLV is designed according to the latest protection relay standards and is therefore suitable for installations in rough environments. These include utilities and power plants (both traditional and renewable), various heavy industry applications (off-shore, marine, oil, gas, mining, steel, etc.) as well as commercial and institutional electrical systems.
  • Page 9 5 Device features AQ-110PLV is an arc flash protection device which can be applied to a variety of applications. The device can be used on their its own as a stand-alone device, or as a part of a more complex arc protection system by using binary inputs and outputs to connect multiple AQ 100 series devices together.
  • Page 10 Version: 2.05 6 Connections The figure below depicts the connections of AQ-110PLV. Please note that the SF relay is in the de- energized position; also note that the device has been halved for the image to allow for space for all connector descriptions.
  • Page 11 When the arc protection system has been set up, point sensor connections are constantly monitored. In case of sensor fault or disconnection, the device will go into Error mode. See System self-supervision chapter for more information. © Arcteq Relays Ltd IM00091...
  • Page 12 AQ 100 series devices in the system. If a binary input loses connection to any of the configured binary outputs, the device will go into Error mode.

  • Page 13 The output’s direction of rotation is as follows: the signal goes in the even pin and out from the odd pin (see the image below, as detailed in the device’s side sticker). NOTICE! TICE! The high-speed outputs are polarity-sensitive. © Arcteq Relays Ltd IM00091...
  • Page 14 Whenever the device detects a system error or the auxiliary power supply is disconnected, the SF relay changes its state. The state stays this way until the device returns to a healthy condition. See the System self-supervision chapter for more information. © Arcteq Relays Ltd IM00091...
  • Page 15 Figure. 6.3 - 11. Auxiliary power supply connection The auxiliary power supply voltage is 92…265 V AC/DC. Alternatively, the auxiliary power supply can be of 18…72 V DC. This choice must be specified when ordering. © Arcteq Relays Ltd IM00091...

  • Page 18 If necessary, the ends of an AQ-07 cable can be ordered with heat shrinking tubing to avoid light detection outside the protected zone. The covered area can be one (1) or two (2) meters by default; if other lengths are required, please consult the Arcteq sales team. You can find the Contact and reference information chapter at the end of this manual.
