8 Commissioning of AQ-1000
Commissioning the AQ-1000 arc quenching device requires an entire arc protection system to be
installed and configured first (see Chapter 9, "Low-voltage arc protection applications").
When commissioning, Blocked mode operation can be used to verify the correct signal transmission to
the AQ-1000 device. When the binary input BI4 in energized and the "Blocked" LED indicator is on, the
commissioning trip can be performed without the device actually operating.
It is also recommended to perform commissioning trip(s) to verify that the arc quenching contacts
move correctly. When BI4 has been de-energized, the device returns back to the Ready operating
mode.
