The warning signal generated in case of continuous light on the light
sensor inputs can be routed to SO2 by setting switch SGF1/8 to 1.

5.1.4.8. Auto-reclose function
The vast majority of MV overhead line faults are transient and automatically cleared
by momentarily de-energizing the line. De-energizing of the fault location for a
selected time period is implemented through automatic reclosing, during which
most faults can be cleared.
At a permanent fault, auto-reclosing is followed by definite tripping. A permanent
fault must be located and cleared before the fault location can be re-energized.
The auto-reclose (AR) function of REF610 can be used with any circuit breaker
suitable for auto-reclosing. The AR function provides three programmable auto-
reclose shots and can thus be set to perform one to three successive auto-reclosures
of desired type and duration, one high-speed and one delayed, for instance.
The AR function can be initiated by pickup and trip signals from certain overcurrent
and ground-fault protection elements. Consequently, tripping of the arc protection
element, for instance, does not initiate the AR function. Initiation is also possible
from an external device via a digital input.
The AR function can be disabled (
AR Disable
) by trip signals from certain
protection elements or via a digital input. Disabled is advantageous with tripping
faults as this type of fault cannot be cleared during an auto-reclose sequence.
Tripping faults are detected by the CBFAIL, for instance. Disabled will also
interrupt any ongoing shot.
