Buzzer activation and deactivation
NPS914 Alarming IEDs do not have an integrated buzzer. However, if an alarming buzzer is needed it is
possible to connect an external buzzer. It is activated by one of the output relays of the IED. The user can
set up the buzzer control by connecting the Alarm Buzzer signal to an output (

Device I/O
→
Device IO Matrix)
. Whenever an alarm is activated the Alarm Buzzer signal will also activate and the output
contact can be controlled.
The user can silence the alarm buzzer by pressing the Back button located in the IED panel, or by
connecting a digital input or some other binary signal in the logic to SILENCE ALARM BUZZER.
Clearing latched signals
Figure. 4. - 5. Latched signals as dots.
Latched signals are represented by filled green circles in the matrix, whereas connected but unlatched
signals are unfilled green circles.
If a latched signal is connected to an alarm, the relay requires the user to push the Back button in the
relay's front port before the latched signal can be cleared. Using latched signals is generally not advised
in order to keep alarm clearing simple.
