b) Operating values and alarm messages area
Please, see
Figure 3-2 | Basic screen
, Pos. (b).
Any two operating values selected in the AMP MEASURE menu will be shown here (see Section

).
The alarm messages (either WARNING or SOFT FAULT) appear on yellow background on the same area and
are flashing frequently in order to attract the operator's attention (see
Figure 4-4 | Appearance of an alarm
message
).
The WARNING messages appear only temporarily (for about three seconds), afterwards the indication of the
operating values is restored automatically (see Section
4.5.a) First protection level - WARNING
).
The SOFT FAULT messages appear in the same field but they remain on the screen until the AUTO OPERATE
time is elapsed (see Section
4.1.c) AUTO OPERATE user setting
) or until the operator pushes any button, then
the operating values (regime measurands) indication is restored too.
