Powering the relay up with kitcom
Thanks to the external battery KITCOM the powering and adjusting process of the relay is
very easy and it allows the user to test the relay.
The power comes from two AA batteries (IEC LR06) of 1.5 Volts placed at the bottom of
the kitcom. The equipment has a small Dc/Dc power supply that raises the voltage till the
required 12 volts to operate the equipment and that is plugged into the front RS232
communications port (KITCOM).
Once the KITCom is connected, the relay will be switched on and a led on the right of the
relay (led battery) will blink indicating the relay is powered on through an external battery
(KITCOM).
The relay is totally maintenance free. This is, there is no need of batteries to log events
and fault reports and there is no need of batteries to maintain date and time.
NOTE
: Date and time must be correctly set the first time the relay is operative and
energy must be kept at least “1 hour” to maintain the RTC for 72 hours once the energy is
lost.
Besides, the possibility of using external battery power, together with the possibility of
activating the trip contact from the test menu, allows the trip circuit to be tested before the
transformation center is powered up. So, it is clear the KITCOM useful for cases like
commissioning operations, discharges and repairs to the transformation center.
Using battery power does not block the RS232 communications port, as it can be used
simultaneously.
Once the relay is poowerd through the Kitcom, it should be checked:
•
Model
→
Directly, complete model on top line and phases/neutral current measurement
on bottom line are displayed. Once “C” key is pressed the the name of phase and neutral
currents (instead the complete model) is displayed on the top of LCD Standby screen.
•
Serial Number
→
In “General Settings” menu serial number of 8 digits can be checked
(OK -
▼ - ▼ - ◄ - ▼ - ▼)
•
Firmware Version
