3.3 INDICATION

There is one green LED on the front of the mGARD-100:

LED Off:

 No control voltage or mGARD-100 defective

LED Slow Flashing:

 Normal, control voltage on

LED Fast Blinking:

 Ground Fault Trip

LED Steady On:

 Control voltage too low or mGARD-100 defective

MGARD-SYM REMOTE INDICATOR

The mGARD-SYM is a remote display indicator that is used in conjunction with I-Gard relays. The indicator has the 

capability to interconnect and work with up to 50 relays including the mGARD-100 relay in a bus network topology 
and provides detailed device status information.

As shown in Figure 3.0, the display has a 4-line screen that shows a list of connected devices. A device can be 
selected and viewed in detail. The relay mode, delay and trip level settings can be viewed (but not altered). The reset 
and test functions can also be performed directly from the display. 

Fault levels are displayed as a percentage of the selected pickup (trip) current level. If the trip level is 1 Amp 
and there is a 500 mA fault current, the reading on the display will appear as 50%. Screen navigation is done 

using a 4-button interface. The menus are displayed on the right side of the LCD; the left side is reserved for 

viewing relay information.

To properly display current levels on the mGARD-SYM, the trip levels can be set to match to a 100:1 or 1000:1 
interposing ZSCS using the mGARD-SYM interface.
