A A Q Q -102L -102LV V 4 General Instruction manual Version: 1.04 4 General The AQ-102LV is a sophisticated microprocessor-based arc flash protection device with fiber loop sensor channels. The device is designed to minimize the damage caused by an arc fault. This is done by tripping the circuit breaker which supplies current to the fault when fiber loops detect arc light.
A A Q Q -102L -102LV V 5 Device features Instruction manual Version: 1.04 5 Device features AQ-102LV is an arc flash protection device which can be applied to a variety of applications. It can be used on its own as a stand-alone device, or it can be a part of a more complex arc protection system by using binary inputs and outputs to connect multiple AQ 100 series devices together.
A A Q Q -102L -102LV V 6 Connections Instruction manual Version: 1.04 6.1 Inputs 6.1.1 Arc sensor channels Figure. 6.1.1 - 3. Arc fiber loop sensor and arc quenching device connections. The device has three (3) fiber loop arc sensor channels: S1, S2 and S3. Each channel has a transmitter (Tx) terminal and a receiver (Rx) terminal.
A A Q Q -102L -102LV V 6 Connections Instruction manual Version: 1.04 The nominal voltage level of the binary inputs for this device is 24 VDC. Please note that the actual activation threshold of the binary input is at a lower voltage than the specified nominal voltage value (see Techical Data chapter).
A A Q Q -102L -102LV V 6 Connections Instruction manual Version: 1.04 T3 can alternatively be ordered as a normally closed relay (electronic lock-out relay). Once opened by fault detection it holds its open position until it receives a manual reset command or until auxiliary power supply is lost.
A A Q Q -102L -102LV V 7 Arc sensors Instruction manual Version: 1.04 7 Arc sensors The AQ 100 series suppors arc sensing point sensors and fiber optic loop sensors. These sensors can be used with different devices and different switchgear types according to specific application requirements.

A A Q Q -102L -102LV V 8 Operation and configuration Instruction manual Version: 1.04 8.2.1 SS:0 The logic scheme SS:0 can be applied as a non-selective arc protection scheme. If any of the light sensor channels detect light, all trip contacts are closed and BO1 sends a light signal to any connected external devices.
A A Q Q -102L -102LV V 8 Operation and configuration Instruction manual Version: 1.04 8.2.2 SS:1 The logic scheme SS:1 is designed for selective incoming feeder arc protection without current detection. It can be used for substations with one incoming feeder. Figure.

A A Q Q -102L -102LV V 8 Operation and configuration Instruction manual Version: 1.04 Position of "Blocking function" DIP switch defines if BI1 is used for receiving current signals from external devices or for blocking activation of trip relays. The binary output BO1 is responsible for sending light detection signal to any external device(s) at outgoing feeders.
A A Q Q -102L -102LV V 8 Operation and configuration Instruction manual Version: 1.04 8.2.3 SS:2 This scheme is similar to SS:0. In this scheme BI1 is used for resetting latched trip relays and LEDs remotely. If there's a need for receiving a light signal from an external device, use SS:0 instead. The logic scheme SS:2 can be applied as a non-selective arc protection scheme.
