CHAPTER 7: MAINTENANCE
M7 Testing
The Test Mode for 3 Series relays consists of testing front panel LEDs and Outputs Relays
The test mode state is indicated on the relay faceplate by a combination of the
Maintenance LED (faceplate option E), the In-Service LED, the Trouble LED, and the critical
fail relay, as shown in the following table.
The following cases should be considered when using Test Mode:
1.
When the relay is tripped, Test Mode cannot be Enabled.
Changing Force LEDs or Force Output Relays to "Enabled" will have no effect. The
value "Enabled" will not be accepted, and the value "Disabled" will be kept.
2.
If the relay is in Force LEDs test mode, and trips, the relay leaves Test Mode and the
Force LEDs setting automatically changes to "Disabled".
NOTE
NOTE:
Performing tests such as Forcing Output Relays should be carefully planned. Fault
conditions are not detected by the relay while in Force Output Relays mode, since the
protection and control elements are not operational during this mode.
Force LEDs
The LED lamp test is allows you to turn on each front panel LED individually. Testing the
LEDs is only available from the relay front panel.
The following path is available using the keypad. For instructions on how to use the
keypad, please refer to
