* Each Communication port has a setting to allow the user to determine which port is used for local operation and
which port is used for remote operation. If the port is set to Local or Remote, the port can be used for all
operations and has no priority.
The communication port modes can be selected at:
SETTINGS MODE>SYSTEM CONFIG>
Communications
3.22 Settings Groups
The relay provides two groups of settings – Group number (Gn) 1 to 2. At any one time, only one group of settings
can be ‘active’ – SYSTEM CONFIG >
Active Group
setting.
By using the
View/Edit Group
settings, the user can edit one group when the relay operates as per the settings
from another “active” group.
Some settings are independent of the active group setting i.e. they apply to all settings groups. The group
dependent settings are indicated by Gn prefix.
A change of settings group can be achieved both locally at the relay fascia and remotely over the data
communications channel(s) or via a binary input. By default, setting group change by BI is level triggered.
NOTE:
When the setting group or any setting parameters is changed, the relay will restart to apply the new settings and
the protection is not active for a moment.
NOTE:
One setting group is available for the MLFB 7SR4501-xGA10-1AA0 variant.
3.23 Password Feature
The relay incorporates password protection for settings.
The programmable password feature enables the user to enter a 4 character alpha-numeric code to secure
access to the relay functions. The relay is supplied with the password set to
NONE
, i.e. the password feature is
disabled. The password must be entered twice as a security measure against the accidental changes. Once a
password has been entered then it will be required thereafter to change settings. Passwords can be de-activated
by using the password to gain access and by entering the password
NONE
. Again this must be entered twice to
deactivate the security system.
