4.5 Non-volatile memory

All critical system data (such as DIP switch settings and the system setup file) are stored in the non-

volatile memory (EPROM) to ensure accurate operation and full self-supervision even if auxiliary power

is lost temporarily.

Additionally, all LED indications are stored in the non-volatile memory to provide a quick recovery of the

system status indication. This feature is especially important if tripping causes the unit to lose its

auxiliary power.

The non-volatile memory does not require a power supply to maintain the information and it retains the

settings and the indications permanently without power.
