Unit configuration 

During the configuration stage user has to determine the VAMP 
121(D) functionality.  

The amount of used arc sensors is configured by moving the 
install dipswitches to “ON” position. 
 

During the configuration stage the user must configure all the 
following dipswitches. 

 

The unit is configured using the dipswitches: 

Dipswitches 1-5 (see Figure 2-1): 

 

The 

Clear

 switch (nr 1 in Figure 2-1) is moved to the ON 

position to reset unit activation- and trip-information, as well as 
the trip relay, if latched. This switch is also used to clear any 
fault messages. When the system is in use, this switch must 
always be in the OFF position. 

 

The 

Latch

 switch (nr 2 in Figure 2-1) enables latching of the 

trip relay. When it is in ON position the latching function is 
activated. 

 

The 

Operate/ Install

 switch (nr 3 in Figure 2-1) is used to read 

in the configuration (number of connected arc sensors) to the 
unit eeprom-memory. When the desired number of sensors 
has been connected, the switch is briefly moved to ON 
position, to allow the unit register the number of connected arc 
sensors. When the system is in use, the switch must be in the 
Operate (OFF) position for the self-supervision to function. 

 

The 

Double

 switch (nr 4 in Figure 2-1) enables the choice of 

trip criteria’s. In the “ON” position, two sensor inputs must be 
activated at the same time for the unit to trip. In the OFF 
position (normal) the unit trips if any of the sensor inputs 
become active. 

 

The 

Block

 switch (nr 5 in Figure 2-1) temporarily blocks the 

trip relay (in the ON position) when e.g. testing the unit. The 
switch must always be in OFF position when the system is in 
use. As long as the switch is in ON position the System Fault 
alarm is activated. The same function is attained by activating 
the binary input on connector X2-7, X2-8 (see also inputs) if 
switc

h 8 is “OFF”. When the blocking function is activated, the 

error led is lit and the SF-relay activated.
