MR-REF & MR-REF3 Technical Manual
Issue 3, November 2013
Function.
If a particular function is required for a protective use it should be selected and set to the required action.
If a particular function is not required it should be left disabled. The display will show DISABLED next to the function
name. If a function is disabled then the threshold level and trip times will not impact the activity of the relay.
Alarm.
An Alarm is considered as a high level function. If the function activates it will be recorded as part of the alarm
history and cause MR-REF & MR-REF3 to enter an alarm state; the alarm fault will be displayed in the main display
scroll page and the right hand LED will give an alarm indication (amber colour).
If an output relay is set as Alarm it will change state with the fault.
Trip.
A Trip is considered as a high level function. If the function activates it will be recorded as part of the trip history and
cause the MR-REF & MR-REF3 to enter a trip state; the fault will be displayed in the active faults page and the unit
will automatically display that page, the right hand LED will give a Trip indication (red colour).
If an output relay is set as Trip it will change state with the fault.
Block.
In order for block to operate the function must be configured and a digital input also assigned as block. When the
digital input is energised this will prevent the protective function from operating against breach of threshold and trip
time.
Reset.
The configuration of the reset allows that particular protection function to be cleared or reset to a healthy condition
providing the condition that caused the fault, alarm or inhibit has been removed.
Auto Reset.
This option, when enabled, automatically resets the fault when the situation that caused the trip has been removed.
If Auto Reset is selected the other reset options are not required.
Panel-Reset.
This option, when Enabled, allows a reset of a fault to be carried out from the front panel of the relay. A reset button
will be displayed in the top right hand corner of the main display scroll page, if any fault has been removed and is
enabled for a panel reset.
Serial-Reset.
This option, when Enabled, allows a reset of a fault to be carried out through the serial communication port of the
relay.
Remote-Reset.
This option, when Enabled, allows a reset of a fault to be carried out through a digital input to the relay. A digital
input must be set to Reset Faults and must be closed after the fault condition has been removed in order for the
reset to operate.
