Instructions for the FP-6000 Protective Relay
Whenever the communication variable input changes, if so
programmed, it will be logged in the event log.
Table 66 shows the cause for this event log.
Table 66. Event Communication Cause Table.
As described in Section 12.1, the FP-6000 does a series of self
diagnostic checking. If any self test should fail, the event is
logged automatically in the event log. See Table 67 for a
complete list of self test event causes.
Table 67. Self Test Event Cause Table.
12.2.1.1 Active Alarm
Unlike the Event Log that contains a chronological list of events
that the FP-6000 has observed, the Active Alarm screen shows
the user what trips or alarms have occurred when they are
occurring. The Active Alarm screen will only show the events
that occur for the items you have programmed within the Alarm
Relay Output setting. The Alarm Relay Output default settings
are set to show any protection trips, any alarm trips, any system
trips and any breaker alarms. See section 9.1 and 9.5 for
additional information.
The events will remain on the Active Alarm screen until they
have been cleared either externally or through the FP-6000 unit.
The type of event that occurs dictates the procedures necessary
to clear the Active Alarm.
When the FP-6000 Active Alarm setting is “Unlatched” the Alarm
LED will turn itself off once all the events are cleared. However, if
the FP-6000 Active Alarm setting is “Latched” the Alarm LED will
remain on even after all the events has been cleared externally
or through the unit.
To clear the Latched Alarm after an event has been cleared, press
the Reset button. Scroll to Alarm and press the Enter pushbutton
two times. Once these steps are followed the Alarm LED will
turn off.
To prevent the Alarm LED from appearing after the event has
been cleared the FP-6000 Active Alarm setting must be set to
“Unlatched”. To do this simply press Set, enter the password,
scroll to Output Config and press Enter. Scroll to Alarm
Indicator, press Enter, scroll to Dropout and select Unlatched,
press Enter.
The following tables (68 and 69) show the types of events that
can appear on the Active Alarm screen and the steps needed to
clear that specific event for the default trips and alarms set within
the Alarm Relay Output.
