MRAR 01/96 C
5.1.5 AR Blocked
The AR Unit changes immediately to the AR Blocked state when an external or internal blocking signal
exists. No auto reclosing is possible in this state and only an external reset signal can cancel this. An
exception to this is the blocked state that is reached when the unit reaches the preset Maintenance
Lockout number. This blocked state can be cancelled when the counter (No) has been reset. (see also
para 5.2).

= No Transition Possible
From the above table it is possible to determine which status transitions are possible with the MRAR.
When the unit for instance is in the Cycle State, only two transitions are possible:
•
Transition to the Ready state when reclosing has been successful.
•
Transition to the Blocked state by an external or internal blocking signal.
The grey shaded sections indicate that no transition is possible.
