MicroController LED (Status)
j
The Status indicator will be flashing green when the module is
powered up and the microprocessor is executing instructions.
On power-up the Status LED will be red for approximately 45
seconds while the module boots. When the Series NRX Ethernet
Communications Adapter Module is connected to a Series NRX trip
unit for the first time, this LED will alternately flash red and green to
signal a learning process between both units. This automatic process
will take approximately 20 seconds and occurs only once during
the initial startup. The LED will also flash red if the module is not
connected or unable to communicate with a Series NRX trip unit.
Ethernet Control Jumper
k
The Ethernet Control jumper provides the user with a means of
enabling or disabling remote communication control commands to the
Series NRX trip unit. With the jumper placed in the “Enable” position,
remote control commands, such as open, close and reset can be
executed. With the jumper in the “Disable” position, commands will
not be accepted.
Source/residual ground selection jumper
l
The Source Ground jumper selects the protection configuration for
Series NRX trip units with ground fault protection or ground fault alarm
functionality. Consult the Series NRX trip unit instructions for further
information on ground sensing. This jumper is not applicable for non-
ground fault style trip units.
