IP2X Terminal Covers The relay may be ordered with IP2X terminal covers to provide IP2X protection of the case terminals. Alternatively separate IP2X terminal cover kits are available to provide IP2X protection of the case terminals. The covers are fitted to the terminal block prior to cable termination. 2M28-S Case with IP2X cover Page 14 Alpha XR_User_Guide-v01.0 02/01/25...
Alpha XR Indications Front Layout The figure below depicts the indications, controls and the reset push buttons on the front of the relay of a fully optioned model. Optional Supervision Healthy P/U LED The Supervision Healthy Led illuminates when the supply voltage and the supervised circuit are healthy.
Commissioning Commissioning Preliminaries Carefully examine the module to ensure that no damage has occurred during transit. Check that the model number and rating information are correct. Insulation The relay, and its associated wiring, may be insulation tested between: - all electrically isolated circuits - all circuits and earth An electronic or brushless insulation tester should be used, having a dc voltage not exceeding 1000V.
Site Commissioning Verification Checklist Observe all site specific standard safety procedures. The following tests are undertaken following the completion of all Alpha XR relay wiring. Preliminary Checks (All Variants) Item Description Complete Confirm all necessary primary equipment isolations Confirm all necessary secondary equipment isolations (including trip outputs) Check panel installation of the Alpha XR relay Check the Alpha XR is wired to the protection design schematic...
