6 - Ekip Dip: additional functions
Ekip T&P, Ekip Programming and Ekip Bluetooth allow the protection trip unit to be connected to Ekip
Connect software and to access parameters and commands that cannot be accessed directly from the front
interface: a description of the various functions is given below.
The additional protections available via Ekip Connect are described on page 42.
Maintenance
The Maintenance function allows signalling to the user, via LED, that:
• One year has passed since the last maintenance.
• Contact wear has increased by more than 10% compared with the value at the last maintenance.
Via Ekip Connect there are two selections available:
• Activation: it allows to the maintenance function to be activated.
• Reset: it allows confirmation of maintenance on the trip unit; the present date and contact wear values
are recorded, and the signal is reset.
The reference date is that of the internal clock, and the elapsed time is calculated both with the trip unit on
and off (provided that the internal battery is working).
NOTE:
manual modification of the date can cause variations in the calculation of the time
elapsed, and therefore in the date of the next maintenance.
NOTE:
the maintenance signal due to increased contact wear is active for values higher than
20 %.
Local Bus
In order to activate communication on the Local Bus with the Ekip Link, Ekip Multimeter or Ekip Signalling
10K modules, the Local Bus parameter must be enabled.
NOTE:
communication with the modules is active if the auxiliary power supply is present.
Date and time
The Ekip Dip trip unit has a user-adjustable internal clock.
Setting the date can be useful for some functions such as the recording of trips and minimum and maximum
currents, and maintenance.
The clock is active if the internal battery of the trip unit is working.
Programmable States
There are sixteen independent programmable states identified by letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, L, M, N, O,
P, Q, R, allowing different event control solutions to be obtained.
The states can be used with the external Ekip Signalling 10K module, on Link Bus or with the programmable
functions, to return the desired signalling combination on contacts.
Circuit-breaker label and user
Data
Labels that can be configured by the user so as to facilitate remote identification of the trip unit; in detail
CB label
, the trip unit model and communication address form the identifier used by Ekip Connect for the
devices connected.
Info Page
Additional information page that can be activated and customized by the user. If activated, it can be accessed
on the display by pressing the iTest button twice from the main page.
NOTE:
the pages can be configured with all the trip units for CB SACE Emax 2, but can only
be displayed via Ekip Touch.
Date of installation
Installation date of the circuit-breaker.
Load Profile Timers
SACE Emax 2 has 4 counters which display how long the maximum current measured has remained in each
percentage band.
The counters are expressed in seconds and the bands are: 0-49%In, 50-79%In, 80-89%In, >90%In.
