connect switch operate time. Set the seal-in timer 10 to 15 percent longer than the
expected disconnect operate time, to allow for slow disconnect operation times
caused by cold temperatures or low battery voltages.
When the normally closed auxiliary contact (SEL
OGIC
input 89BM
m
) deasserts,
the disconnect switch is in an undetermined state. No proper position indication
from either of the disconnect switch auxiliary contacts (89BM
m
or 89AM
m
) is
available. Once the auxiliary normally closed contact (SEL
OGIC
input 89BM
m
)
deasserts, the 89ALP
m
timer starts timing. The 89ALP
m
timer monitors the
undetermined state of the disconnect switch. For the 89ALP
m
timer to initialize,
the disconnect switch has to move a minimum distance to open the normally
closed auxiliary contact (open-to-close operation). Set the 89ALP
m
timer longer
than the expected undetermined state time, but less than the 89CST
m
seal-in
timer. If the normally open auxiliary contact fails to close within the undeter-
mined state time, the 89ALP
m
timer expires and an alarm condition is declared.
The Close Immobility Logic starts the Close Immobility Timer for an operation
where the disconnect switch does not move the minimum distance to open the
normally closed auxiliary contact (open-to-close operation). When the close
immobility timer expires, an alarm condition is declared and Relay Word bit
89AL
m
asserts. If the disconnect moves enough to open the normally closed aux-
iliary contact, the Close Immobility timer resets and no alarm condition is
declared (see
Remote Bits
Remote bits provide a means for sending remote control commands to relay
logic. As indicated in
, remote bits have three oper-
ating states: clear, set, and pulse. It is important to understand the differences
between the use of pulsed remote bits in automation and protection SEL
