Section 5: Testing and Maintenance
The numeric modules relays are maintenance free, with no user serviceable parts.
5.1
Periodic
Tests
During the life of the relay, the numeric module should be checked for operation during the normal maintenance
period for the site on which the product is installed. It is recommended the following tests are carried out:-
Visual inspection of the metering display
1. Operation
of
output contacts
2. Secondary injection of each element
The electromechanical Current Differential module should be checked periodically for correct operation, sensitivity
and connection of pilots. Siemens recommend a 5 year maintenance interval.
5.2
Maintenance
Numeric module failure will be indicated by the ‘Protection Healthy’ LED being off or flashing. A message may
also be displayed on the LCD. In the event of failure Siemens Protection Devices Ltd. (or one of its agents) should
be contacted
The relay should be returned as a complete unit. No attempt should be made to disassemble the unit to isolate
and return only the damaged sub-assembly. It may however be convenient to fit the withdrawable module to the
outer case from a spare relay, to avoid the disturbance of relay panel wiring, for return to Siemens Protection
Devices Ltd. The withdrawn relay should never be transported without the protection of the outer case.
5.3
