Further the manager includes a disturbance recorder. Arc
supervision is optionally available.

The manager communicates with other systems using common
protocols, such as the ModBus RTU, ModBus TCP, Profibus
DP, IEC 60870-5-103, SPA bus and DNP 3.0.

1.2. Operating Safety

The terminals on the rear panel of the manager
may carry dangerous voltages, even if the auxiliary
voltage is switched off. A live current transformer
secondary circuit must not be opened.
Disconnecting a live circuit may cause dangerous
voltages! Any operational measures must be carried
out according to national and local handling
directives and instructions.

2.2.1. Display

The manager is provided with a backlit LCD dot matrix
display. The display has 128 x 64 dots, which enables showing
21 characters in one row and eight rows at the same time. The
display has two different purposes: one is to show the single
line diagram of the feeder with the object status, measurement
values, feeder identification etc. (Figure 2.2.1-1). The other
purpose is to show the configuration and parameterization
values of the manager (Figure 2.2.1-2).

Operation and configuration

3.2. Setting groups

Most of the protection functions of the manager have two
setting groups. These groups are useful for example when the
network topology is changed frequently. The active group can
be changed by a digital input, through remote communication
or locally by using the local panel.

The active setting group of each protection function can be
selected separately. Figure 3.2-1 shows an example where the
changing of the I> setting group is handled with digital input
one (SGrpDI). If the digital input is TRUE, the active setting
group is group two and correspondingly, the active group is
group one, if the digital input is FALSE. If no digital input is
selected (SGrpDI = -), the active group can be selected by
changing the value of the parameter SetGrp.

VAMP Ltd

Figure 3.2-1. Example of protection submenu with setting group parameters

The changing of the setting parameters can be done easily.
When the desired submenu has been found (with the arrow
keys), press the ENTER key to select the submenu. Now the
selected setting group is indicated in the down-left corner of the
display (See Figure 3.2-2). Set1 is setting group one and Set2 is
setting group two. When the needed changes, to the selected
setting group, have been done, press the LEFT or the RIGHT
key to select another group (the LEFT key is used when the
active setting group is 2 and the RIGHT key is used when the
active setting group is 1).

3.3. Fault logs

All the protection functions include fault logs. The fault log of a
function can register up to eight different faults with time
stamp information, fault values etc. Each function has its own
logs (See Figure 3.3-1).

Figure 3.3-1. Example of fault log

VAMP 257

To see the values of, for example, log two, press the ENTER key
to select the current log (log one). The current log number is
then indicated in the down-left corner of the display (See
Figure 3.3-2, Log2 = log two). The log two is selected by
pressing the RIGHT key once.

All the indicators and output relays can be given a latching
function in the configuration.

There are several ways to reset latched indicators and relays:

• From the alarm list, move back to the initial display by

pushing the CANCEL key for approx. 3 s. Then reset the
latched indicators and output relays by pushing the ENTER
key.

• Acknowledge each event in the alarm list one by one by

pushing the ENTER key equivalent times. Then, in the
initial display, reset the latched indicators and output
relays by pushing the ENTER key.

The latched indicators and relays can also be reset via a remote
communication bus or via a digital input configured for that
purpose.

the signal to be controlled by force with the UP and DOWN
keys, for instance the T1 signal.

6. Push the ENTER key to confirm the selection. Signal T1

can now be controlled by force.

7. Push the UP or DOWN key to change the selection from "0"

(not alert) to "1" (alert) or vice versa.

8. Push the ENTER key to execute the forced control operation

of the selected function, e.g., making the output relay of T1
to pick up.

9. Repeat the steps 7 and 8 to alternate between the on and off

state of the function.

10. Repeat the steps 1...4 to exit the Force function.

11. Push the CANCEL key to return to the main menu.

Some of the parameters can only be changed via the RS-232
serial port using the VAMPSET software. Such parameters,
(for example passwords, blockings and mimic configuration) are
normally set only during commissioning.

Some of the parameters require the restarting of the manager.
This restarting is done automatically when necessary. If a
parameter is tried to change the manager will inform about the
auto-reset feature (see Figure 5-1).

Figure 5-1. Example of auto-reset display

Press CANCEL to return to the setting view. If a parameter
must be changed, press the ENTER key again. The parameter
can now be set. When the parameter change is confirmed with
the ENTER key, a [RESTART]- text appears to the top-right
corner of the display. This means that auto-resetting is
pending. If no key is pressed, the auto-reset will be executed
within few seconds.
