4.2.3 T2 – DIGITAL OUTPUT TEST
This test checks all outputs of the relay. It is a convenient way to determine proper system connections and verify the oper-
ation of all relay contacts, without having to apply currents and voltages to simulate faults. Protection can be enabled or dis-
abled, as deemed necessary.
If this test is run remotely through ALPS-Link, then switch RM BRKR must be in the down position to allow
the outputs to operate. Refer to Section 8.4.1: HARDWARE SWITCHES on page 8–24 for details on chang-
ing the switch position. Note that the relay is shipped from the factory with the switch in the down position
allowing the outputs to operate.
1.
Connect the relay as shown in Figure 4–1: DIGITAL OUTPUTS TEST CONNECTIONS on page 4–9.
2.
Press the [ACT] key and enter the control level password.
3.
Use the arrow key to select 8. Digital Output Test
4.
Press the [ENT] key. Before a contact is allowed to be tested, the display prompts DISABLE PROTECT?
5.
Press the [1/Y] key followed by the [ENT] key to turn protection off. Protection remains off until the test mode is ended
(if desired, protection can be left enabled during the test).
6.
Select the output to test by using the arrow keys to scroll to the desired output, such as T1, and press the [ENT] key.
When the digital output is chosen, the selected relay output closes. Verify that the output under test has closed, using
an ohmmeter or other suitable device.
7.
After the output is tested, scroll to the next output to test, then press the [ENT] key. This output closes and the previ-
ously selected output opens. Continue in this fashion until all outputs are tested.
8.
End the test mode by scrolling to the END TEST MODE selection, then press the [ENT] key. Alternatively, press [END]
followed by the [ENT] key to end the test and re-enable protection.
