3 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
3.1 IPM V2 Relay
The Ampcontrol IPM V2 Integrated Protection Relay is an intelligent protection relay based on
microprocessor technology. The IPM Integrated Relay provides the necessary functions required for
protecting electrical outlets supplying underground mining machinery, powered by reeling or trailing
cables, in the metalliferous industry. The relay can also be used to provide optimum overload protection
of motors used on conveyors, pumps, fans and compressors. All of the protection functions are
combined into a compact, plug-in unit, which can be easily changed out to minimise down time in the
event of a problem with the relay.
The IPM provides protection and control functions for:
Earth Leakage
Earth Continuity
Insulation Testing
Contactor Fail
Under Voltage
Overcurrent
Short Circuit
Under Current (Pump Snore Protection)
Fan “Burp” Control
The IPM Integrated Protection Relay can provide Machine Data Transfer through the use of a Remote
Termination Module (RTM) connected between the pilot and earth at the machine end of the trailing
cable. Through the use of the RTM Remote Termination Module the relay parameters are automatically
uploaded from a remote machine when a cable is inserted into a power outlet. The RTM also allows for
remote control (starting) of the IPM output.

A RS485 Modbus communication port is available that can be connected to a PLC or a central
monitoring system for continuous monitoring and fault-finding.
The IPM Relay provides an isolated 4-20mA analogue output that can be configured to continuously
represent Average Current, Overload, Earth Leakage and the Insulation level of the relay.
The IPM Integration Protection Relay has 6 digital inputs (Lock, Reset, Aux, Ex-Stop, Ex-Start and MCI),
which feed into a microprocessor unit to be interpreted. The microprocessor has been programmed to
control three output relays, MCR (Main Contactor Relay), CBR (Circuit Breaker Relay) and ALM (Alarm
Relay).
All of the tripping logic and outlet control is performed by the microprocessor, so that virtually no external
control is required.
A four-line 20 character backlit LCD display combined with a keypad provides an easy to operate user
interface. The display provides easy access to all available information. A simple procedure allows
adjustment of the relay‟s settings.

3.1.1 Earth Leakage Protection
The IPM monitors the outlet‟s earth leakage current through the use of an approved core balance
toroid. A Residual Current Device (RCD) operating characteristic is provided with adjustable trip
sensitivity and time delay. When a trip is initiated, the IPM will open its MCR output relay, opening the
outlet‟s contactor.
For detailed information on the operation of the Earth Leakage protection function, refer to Section 6.1.
3.1.2 Earth Continuity Protection
The Earth Continuity function tests for the continuity of the earthing between the outlet and the
machine, via the pilot core in the trailing cable. The pilot core is also used to transfer data when a
Remote Termination Module (RTM) is used to achieve machine communication.
For detailed information on the operation of the Earth Continuity protection function, refer to Section
6.3.
3.1.3 Insulation Testing
The insulation testing function tests the resistance of the 3 phase lines to earth by applying a high
voltage DC signal to the phase conductors, via the Insulation Test Module (ITM). This test is initiated
once all starting conditions are met.
If the result of the Insulation Test is above the pre-set resistance level, the IPM‟s MCR relay energises,
which in turn closes the main contactor. A manual “Insulation Test” is also provided as a
maintenance/fault finding tool. (When this test is performed the MCR relay does not close at completion
of a healthy test). The Insulation Test allows cable insulation levels to be trended as an aid to
preventative maintenance.
For detailed information on the operation of the Earth Fault Lockout protection function, refer to Section
6.2.
3.1.4 Frozen / Failed Contactor Protection
The IPM relay provides failed contactor protection, initiating a back-trip to an upstream circuit breaker if
the contactor is deemed to have failed to open when required. The position of outlet‟s contactor is
monitored via the Main Contactor Input (MCI). The state of the contactor is then compared to the state
of the IPM‟s output relay. If the contactor is closed whilst the MCR is in the open position, a failed
contactor trip will be initiated.
The IPM also monitors the voltage on the load side of the outlet‟s contactor, via the ITM module, whilst
the contactor is in the open position. If this voltage exceeds 10% of the rated line voltage, a failed
contactor trip will be initiated. When a trip is initiated, the IPM will open its CBR output relay, opening
the upstream circuit breaker.
For detailed information on the operation of the Frozen/Failed Contactor protection function, refer to
Section 8.1.
3.1.5 Overcurrent / Overload Protection
The IPM relay monitors the outlet phase currents via three current transformers (CTs). The measured
current allows the IPM to implement overcurrent, thermal motor overload and phase imbalance
protection. When a trip is initiated, the IPM will open its MCR output relay, opening the outlet‟s
contactor.
For detailed information on the operation of the Overcurrent and Overload protection functions, refer to
Section 0.
3.1.6 Short Circuit Protection
In addition to the overload protection functions, the IPM relay uses the currents measured from the
three phase CTs to provide short circuit protection. The IPM opens its CBR output when a short circuit

trip is initiated. In typical installations the CBR output is used to trip a circuit breaker upstream from the
outlet‟s contactor.
For detailed information on the operation of the Short Circuit protection function, refer to Section 7.2.
3.1.7 Pump Snore Function
The IPM relay has a Pump Snore function that provides additional control functionality for pump
installations. The Snore function automatically stops the output upon detection of a low current
condition, avoiding damage to the pump components due to overheating. The outlet will be restarted
after a fixed or automatically adjustable time delay.
For detailed information on the operation of the Pump Snore function, refer to Section 11.
3.1.8 Fan Burp Function
The IPM relay has a Fan Burp function that provides additional control functionality for fan installations.
The Burp function allows for the progressive inflation of ventilation bags (tubes) by pulsing the motor
contactor controlling a ventilation fan, several times at start-up.
For detailed information on the operation of the Fan Burp function, refer to Section 10.
3.2 Accessories
The IPM relay requires a number of accessories to perform its protection functions. These accessories
will be introduced in the following subsections. Some accessories are marked as optional and are not
required for the IPM to perform its basic protection functions. Purchasing these optional items will,
however, expand the capabilities of the installation.
3.2.1 Insulation Test Module (ITM)
The IPM is connected to the outlet‟s phase conductors via a high
impedance Insulation Test Module (ITM). This allows the IPM to perform a
high voltage DC insulation test prior to the closing of the outlet‟s contactor.
The IPM also uses the ITM to monitor the magnitude of the phase
voltages. This is used during the frozen contactor testing to ensure that
when the outlet‟s contactor opens, voltage is removed from the outlet. The
ITM is available in a 415V model or a 1kV model.
3.2.2 Phase Current
Transformers (CTs)
The IPM relay measures the
phase currents from all three of the outlet‟s phases. Using
these measured current values, the IPM is able to implement
its overload and short circuit protections functions. The IPM
requires three (3) current transformers to measure the phase
currents. The phase current transformers are available in two
standard sizes: 45mm inner diameter (1000:1 & 500:5) and
88mm inner diameter (1000:1 only). The current transformers
are panel mounted units.

3.2.3 Earth Leakage Toroid
The IPM requires a summation toroid to be installed around the outlet‟s
three phase conductors. This toroid allows the IPM to measure the
magnitude of outlet‟s earth leakage current. Only one (1) earth leakage
toroid is required per IPM. The IPM‟s earth leakage toroids are 1000:1 and
have an 88mm inner diameter.
3.2.4 Remote Termination
Module (RTM) (Optional)
The RTM is an optional component in the IPM system. It is
used to terminate the pilot cable in the motor enclosure
instead of a diode. When used, the RTM stores the IPM‟s
Group 2 protection settings for that particular motor. This
means that the cable supplying the motor can be moved to
another outlet without the need to re-configure all of the
IPM‟s protection settings. The RTM also offers a remote
start input.

4.4.1 Digital Inputs (Terminals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8)
Figure 4.7: IPM Relay Electrical Connections: Digital Inputs
The IPM has a number of digital inputs to allow external devices to interact with the relay. Each of
these inputs is activated when it is shorted to the DI+ terminal (1) by a normally open contact or
pushbutton.
The MCI input is a special input that is used to monitor the state of the outlet‟s main contactor for the
IPM‟s frozen contactor protection. Wire a normally open auxiliary contact from the main contactor to
this input to allow this function to operate correctly.
For a detailed explanation of the functions of each of these inputs, refer to Section 12.6.1.
The Digital Input (DI) Screen terminal is used to terminate the screens of the cables that are used for
the digital inputs.
NOTE
If the IPM is to be installed in areas of high electrical interference, it is
recommended that the wiring for the digital inputs be run in screened
cables.

4.4.2 Phase Current Transformers (Terminals 9, 10, 11 & 12)
Figure 4.8: IPM Relay Electrical Connections: Phase Current Transformers
The IPM relay measures the individual phase currents of the outlet, using current transformers, to
provide input for a number of its protection functions. Current transformers should be wired to the IPM
in twisted pairs with an overall screen.
Current transformers are not ideal devices and if correct procedures are not followed during installation,
nuisance tripping can result. An ideal CT would have all the flux from the wire contained in the core and
so would accurately detect any change in current. A real CT has “leakage fluxes”. That is, a very small
proportion of the total flux is not contained in the core, but in the space outside it and as result reduces
sensitivity of the CT. The positioning of the cables also plays a part in this effect.
The size of the error will vary from CT to CT, even those of the same type and size because of slight
differences in the core and symmetry of the windings.
To avoid nuisance tripping and false readings, consider the following during installation:
1. Keep cables as close to the centre of the toroid as possible. Do not tie them to one side of the
toroid. Remember to aim at symmetry.
2. Do not bring the cables back past the toroid within one diameter of the CT, trying to cram cables
into a small space reduces symmetry and may lead to problems, which are difficult to solve.
3. Avoid placing the CT near any device, which produces magnetic fields - whether it is a
transformer or other cables. Try to maintain several CT diameters clearance.
4. Many small cables tend to be worse than say three large ones. Try to position the CT in the
circuit with this in mind.
5. Select the smallest internal diameter CT to suit the cable size.

4.4.4 Earth Continuity (Terminal 15)
Figure 4.10: IPM Relay Electrical Connections: Earth Leakage Toroid
The Pilot terminal (15) is to be wired to the pilot core of the outlet‟s cable. The IPM monitors the
presence of either a termination diode, or an RTM, that is installed in the motor enclosure to ensure
that there is a continuous earth connection between the supply enclosure and the motor enclosure via
the outlet cable. The magnitude of the pilot/earth return loop impedance is also monitored via this
terminal.
In order for the earth continuity protection to function correctly, ensure that the earth connection is
correctly installed to the IPM.
If an RTM is connected, and the IPM set to remote start mode, then a remote start can be requested by
closing the input on the RTM. The input must remain closed whilst the motor is running. A stop will be
initiated if this input becomes open circuit.
WARNING!
The Remote Input on the RTM is not to be used for an emergency stop
function. Emergency stop pushbuttons should be wired into the
pilot circuit. A normally closed contact with a contact monitoring block
should be considered.

5 COMMISSIONING AND CALIBRATION
Prior to being put into service, the electrical protection system must be correctly commissioned. This
manual does not cover system commissioning; the full scope of commissioning tests should be
determined during the risk assessment or FMEA covering the design of the electrical protection system.
The following tests can provide guidance on checking the correct operation of the relay during
commissioning. This is not intended to provide an exhaustive commissioning checklist, but should be
considered to be a minimum set of tests.
5.1 Earth Leakage
Test the correct operation of earth leakage circuits by injecting a fault current through the toroid. Ensure
that all relevant tripping circuits operate successfully and that latched trips may be reset in the
appropriate manner.
5.2 Earth Continuity
Test that the Earth Continuity protection is operational by creating an open circuit on the pilot wire.
Ensure that all relevant tripping circuits operate successfully and that latched trips may be reset in the
appropriate manner.
Repeat with a short circuit between the pilot and earth.
5.3 Insulation test
Ensure that a manual insulation test can be successfully conducted via the IPM.
Also check that an automatic insulation test is initiated by the IPM when a START signal is generated.
5.4 Over Current / Motor Overload Current Injection
Test the Over Current / Motor Overload protection by carrying out secondary injection on the CT
terminals of the IPM.
Where Over Current protection is employed, inject 2x FLC (Full Load Current) into one of the CT
terminals and ensure that all relevant tripping circuits operate successfully, in the time expected
according to the settings employed, and that latched trips may be reset in the appropriate manner.
Repeat on the second set of CT terminals and the third set of CT terminals.
If Motor Overload is used, check that all relevant tripping circuits operate successfully, in the time
expected according to the settings employed, and that latched trips may be reset in the appropriate
manner.
5.5 Short Circuit Current Injection
Test the Short Circuit protection by carrying out secondary injection on the CT terminals of the IPM.
Inject a current value relevant for the settings employed into one of the CT terminals and ensure that all
relevant tripping circuits operate successfully, in the time expected, and that latched trips may be reset in
the appropriate manner. Repeat on the second set of CT terminals and the third set of CT terminals.
5.6 Current Detection in CTs
Ensure the integrity of the current-detection CTs by injecting primary current into the CT aperture and
validating the reading on the IPM screen.

5.7 Main Contactor Fail (MCF)
Validate the correct operation of the ITM and MCF protection by applying a voltage on the load side of
the contactor. The voltage must be >10% of the rated voltage of the ITM. Ensure that a CBR trip is
initiated by the IPM which can only be reset by performing a locked reset.
5.8 Voltage Measurement
Validate the voltage measurement function of the IPM by checking the measured voltages on the IPM
screen when the main contactor is closed.
5.9 RS485 Interface
The correct operation of the RS485 interface is determined by polling the IPM relay from a RS485
capable device.
5.10 RTM (if Installed)
Validate the correct operation of the RTM by making changes to Group 2 settings, moving the machine
to a different outlet and ensuring that the correct settings are available on the new outlet.
5.11 Lock, Reset, Aux, Ex-Stop, Ex-Start & MCI Inputs
Ensure that the digital inputs to the IPM are operating correctly by operating each of the inputs and
ensuring that the IPM functions as expected.

6 EARTH PROTECTION FUNCTIONS
The IPM relay provides the following earth protection functions:
Earth Leakage
Insulation Test
Earth Continuity
6.1 Earth Leakage
6.1.1 Introduction
Protection systems are defined in AS/NZS 2081 for use in fault limited systems. This standard
describes the requirements of Earth Leakage protection to initiate a trip of the circuit interrupting device
when a selected value of earth fault current is exceeded for a certain amount of time.
All protection systems must comply with this standard as stated in AS/NZS 4871, which sets out the
general requirements for the design, construction and testing of electrical equipment directly associated
with mining and quarrying activities. Part of these requirements includes designing for electrical faults,
and the standard outlines the safe touch potential which must be considered in electrical protection
design. Acceptable touch potential levels are described using a series of curves as shown in Figure
6.1.
Figure 6.1: AS/NZS 4871 Safe Touch Potential Levels (Figure C1 from the standard)
The IPM V2 relay‟s earth leakage protection function has been designed in accordance with AS/NZS
3190 – Approval and Test Specification – Residual Current Devices (current-operated earth-leakage
devices). Given this, it is important to consider the performance of the earth leakage protection provided
by the IPM V2 and assess how the relay‟s performance compares with the requirements of AS/NZS
2081. Testing was completed to assess the ability of the IPM V2 relay to trip within acceptable levels.
The results for the earth leakage tripping times of the relay are detailed in APPENDIX 1: IPM Earth
Leakage Tripping Curves. These results show that the tripping times are well within those specified by
the relevant standards. The tripping times reduce for higher fault currents, improving the performance of

the relay.
Figure 6.2 summarises the trip times which can be expected when the trip time is set to be
„Instantaneous‟, for increasing fault currents at different trip levels.
Figure 6.2: Instantaneous trip times for a selection of device trip level settings
6.1.2 Earth Leakage Protection Function
The earth leakage protection function uses a 1000:1 core balance toroid to measure the earth fault
current. A Residual Current Device (RCD) operating characteristic is provided with adjustable trip
sensitivity and time delay.
The % leakage current is displayed on the 'Current and Voltage Information‟ page (Level 2, Screen 2)
as „Ie‟ shown as a % of the selected trip level. When the leakage reaches 100% a trip occurs. For
timing of the trip refer to APPENDIX 1: IPM Earth Leakage Tripping Curves. As discussed above, the
higher the fault current measured the faster the trip response.
To reset the relay depends on the RCD Reset Lock setting (in group 1 settings page 8). If off, the user
can reset the relay by operating the reset key/digital input. If the setting is on, the user is required to
activate the lock input before operating the reset key/digital input.
The trip level is selected via the „RCD Trp. Level‟ setting (Level 6, Screen 13) and is adjustable
between 25mA and 500mA and off.
The time delay is selected via the „RCD Trp. Time‟ setting (Level 6, Screen 14). Settings are
instantaneous and adjustable between 50ms and 150ms.
6.2 Insulation Test
The IPM Relay can provide an automatic High Voltage „Insulation Test‟. A manual „Insulation Test‟ is
also provided.
An Insulation Test Module (ITM), which is a resistive isolation device, is used to interface the power
conductors to the IPM Relay. Modules are selected in the Group 1 Settings „ITM Module‟ (Level 5,
Screen 2) for rated line voltages of 415V and 1000V.
The ITM is the preferred isolation module and must be used when the „Insulation Test‟ function is
required.
When “None” is selected the IPM Relay does not provide „Insulation Test‟, or voltage functions.

6.2.1 Automatic Insulation Test
If an ITM Module has been selected, in the adjustable Group 1 Settings and a trip level has been set in
the adjustable Group 2 settings, then an automatic High Voltage DC „Insulation Test‟ is initiated by
operation of the start button once all starting conditions are met.
The HV DC „Insulation Test‟ commences when the IPM Relay applies voltage to the „Vtest‟ terminal of
the relay for a period of 2 seconds. This applies 30VDC to the ITM Module. A HV DC voltage is
generated in the ITM Module, which applies a voltage of 500V for 415V operation and 820V for 1000V
systems, between each phase and earth.
The IPM Relay measures the resistance to earth for all phases in parallel. At the end of the test the
result is stored in the Event Log as „It:X.XMΩ‟ If the resistance value is above the pre-set threshold the
MCR Relay picks up allowing the outlet to be energised. Additionally, if the result is equal to or below
an Alarm Level (typically 1.5 times the selected trip level) the status message „Insulat.Test Alarm‟ is
displayed on the Status Page (Level 1, Screen 1).

5. Outlet must not be in the process of „closing‟.
6. Outlet must not be „Paused‟.
When the above conditions are met the key must be pressed and held (for the duration of the
test). After 3 seconds the manual insulation test is initiated. The test voltage is applied to the outgoing
feeder while ever the above conditions are held (including holding the key). The test results
are continuously calculated and displayed. The operator should maintain the test at least long enough
for the readings to stabilise, this being a function of the cable length. Once the test is completed
(usually by releasing the key) the results are held in memory until another insulation test is
commenced either manually or as part of the starting sequence, or IPM control power is lost.
If the „ITM Module‟ has been set to “None” then the manual test will not function.
The status of the manual insulation test is shown on the Insulation Test Screen (Level 3, Screen 2).
The three functions shown on the screen are „Not Active‟, „Arming Man.Ins.Test‟ and „Manual Insulat.
Test‟.
The display will show the last measured value.

6.3 Earth Continuity
Figure 6.4: Earth Continuity Connections
The Earth Continuity function tests for the continuity of the earthing between the outlet and the machine,
via the pilot core in the trailing cable. The pilot core is also used to transfer data when a Remote
Termination Module is used to achieve Machine Data Transfer.
The IPM relay can be configured to operate in either diode or RTM mode. The mode is selected in „EC
Pilot Mode‟ (Level 5, Screen 1) and determines what terminating device the relay is looking for on the
pilot.
NOTE
The Remote Termination Module will only be recognised by an IPM
Relay and will not be seen as a diode by other earth continuity devices.
The relay measures the resistance of the pilot - earth loop and the leakage between the pilot and earth
conductors. The leakage measurement ensures that pilot to earth faults are detected. If the pilot - earth
loop resistance exceeds 45Ω a trip occurs which in turn opens the main contactor control circuit. The
fault can be configured as latching or non-latching. This allows the user to determine if the fault is
manually or automatically reset once the pilot - earth loop resistance is less than 45Ω. The selection is
either „EC Trip Latch: On‟ or „Off” (Level 6, Screen 17). To manually reset the relay, operate the reset
button.

100% a trip occurs. The version of the software is also indicated.
L4: Shows the Load Type and Number (from the connected RTM unit).
Pilot Trip Time is adjustable to allow for operation in noisy electrical environments. The trip times can be
selected at „Pilot Trip t‟ (Level 6, Screen 15) and can be set to 80, 120, 160, 200, 300, 400 and 500ms.
The leakage trip setting is fixed at 1850Ω.
Clause 5.3 of AS/NZS 2081 requires total clearance trip times <500mS, this includes interposing relays,
contactors and circuit breaker opening times. An EC trip time of up to 500mS is entirely appropriate
where touch potentials are managed appropriately, however in all cases the EC trip time should be as
low as is reasonably practical.
The purpose of earth continuity protection is to continuously monitor the integrity of the return earth
resistance. The earth continuity protection relay cannot explicitly monitor the return earth resistance
alone, and instead monitors the resistance of the pilot-earth loop. In all cases, the resistance of the pilot-
earth loop will be higher than the return earth resistance itself, and so is conservative. That is, the return
earth resistance can be no higher than the trip setting of the earth continuity relay.
There are two aspects to earth continuity monitoring:
(1) To actively remove power from an outlet in case of live uncoupling, and;
(2) To monitor incremental changes in the resistance of the earth return path to ensure that
leakage currents under both normal and fault conditions do not result in dangerous touch
voltages.
The IPM relay meets the requirements of AS/NZS2081 which sets a limit on the maximum clearance
time that can be utilised for earth continuity protection of 500ms. This specifically addresses the risk
associated with live uncoupling. That is, in restrained receptacles suitable for mining applications the
pilot pin disengages before the earth connection and the upper limit of 500ms removes power before a
user can practically complete disconnection and inadvertently come into contact with live exposed
connections or generate a hazardous electrical condition.
Similarly, incremental changes in the return earth resistance can occur over time through the normal
process of coupling and uncoupling electrical connections and the ingress of dust and contaminants as
mining progresses. The electrical distribution system will be designed so that the worst case touch
potential under fault conditions is developed with the upper limit of return earth resistance set by the
earth continuity trip resistance. It should be noted that a modest increase (even an increase above the
trip setting) of earth return resistance is not immediately dangerous in the majority of situations – a touch
potential is normally only generated in case of an earth fault. Unlike an earth leakage clearance time,
there is no requirement that the earth continuity trip time be instantaneous, nor is there a defined link
between EC clearance time and significantly improved safety outcomes. Under Australian Standards
earth continuity protection trip times <=500ms are generally acceptable and will normally meet the
requirements of (1) & (2) for most applications.
The trip time for earth continuity should be chosen in the same way as an earth leakage trip current
setting. In all cases, the earth leakage trip current should be as close as possible to the normal (non-
fault) EL current that does not cause a nuisance tripping. Similarly, the earth continuity trip time should
be as low as practical to not cause a nuisance trips. In low noise applications (eg: simple DOL motors

and linear loads) practically achievable clearance times will be less than 200ms. In higher noise
applications (eg: Soft starters, variable speed drives and non-linear loads) higher clearance times up to
500ms may be necessary and can be shown to be safe.
Please note, excessive noise on the pilot-earth loop (as monitored by the EC protection relay) can be
indicative of a standing touch potential or another undiagnosed operating difficulty. Where EC trip
settings above 200ms are required to avoid nuisance tripping Ampcontrol recommends the source of
noise (and so the electrical distribution system design) is properly investigated to ensure the system is
safe.

7.1 Overload Protection
The motor overload function is based on a thermal model of the motor. The three phase currents are
squared to provide the I2R heating input to the motor model. The selected „Stopped Cooling Ratio‟
determines the cooling output for the model.
The state of the thermal model is shown by the „Thermal Accumulator‟, which can be viewed on the
'Current/Volts Information' level on the display. The thermal accumulator represents the motor
temperature. When the accumulator reaches 100%, a Motor Overload Trip occurs.
The full load current is selected via the „100% Current‟ setting (Level 6, Screen 2) and can be set
between 0.5125A and 640A in 448 steps. See the Appendix section of this manual for the respective Full
Load Current Selection tables for a 100:1 CT or 1000:1 CT.
The trip time is selected via the „O/L Trp t @ 6x‟ setting (Level 6, Screen 6). It is a function of the current
and the selected trip time curve. Refer to APPENDIX 6: Drawings for details of the motor overload and
short circuit trip times.
The fifteen (15) motor overload curves allow trip settings from 3 to 40 seconds at six (6) times FLC and
are shown for both cold and hot conditions. The hot curve corresponds to the trip time after the motor
has been running at the selected full load current indefinitely.
The trip time can be calculated as follows:
Where:
C = Curve Selected
I = Current (FLC = 1)
A% = Initial Thermal Accumulator Value
NOTE
For Cold Start A = 0% and on Hot Start, A = 89%.
The motor manufacturer's data should always be consulted to select the appropriate settings for the
motor being protected. Typically, the capacity of a cold motor is given at six times its rated current.
The IPM Relay's trip curves can then be used to select the trip time curve, which best suits the motors
overload capacity.
The motor overload trip latches once the thermal accumulator reaches 100% and can only be reset once
the thermal accumulator falls below a pre-set value. The pre-set value is selected via the „O/L Rst Level‟
setting (Level 6, Screen 8) and can be set to 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, A-30%, A-40%, A-
50%, A-60%, A-70%, A-80%, A-90%. The “A-“settings automatically reset a motor overload trip once the
thermal accumulator falls below the set value. Otherwise the trip has to be reset manually by pressing
the keypad „RESET‟ button or activating the „RESET‟ digital input once the thermal accumulator has
fallen below the set value.
An emergency restart on a hot motor can be achieved by zeroing the thermal accumulator
memory. This is done by closing the Lock input and Reset key/digital input simultaneously for
1.5 seconds.

CAUTION!
Repeated restart attempts in this condition may damage the motor
The „Stopped Cooling Ratio‟ modifies the cooling output of the thermal model when the motor is stopped.
This can be used to account for reduced cooling capacity of the motor when it is not running (motor run
status monitored via MCI digital input).
The ratio is selected via the „O/L cool mult‟ setting (Level 6, Screen 7) and is adjustable from 1.0 to 5.0.
A cooling multiplier of 1 means the cooling is independent of whether the motor is running or not – for
example, a water-cooled motor. Protection for a fan-cooled motor is based on a setting of 2.5, however,
for the best protection consult the motor manufacturer.
7.2 Short Circuit Protection
The short circuit function has a definite time characteristic. If the current exceeds the selected level for
the pre-set time then a trip occurs. The short circuit function trips the CBR relay (the CBR relay is
normally energised, and drops out when tripped).
The short circuit trip level is selected via the „Short Cct.Trip‟ setting (Level 6, Screen 4) and is a multiple
of the selected full load current, from 3.0 to 10 times FLC, in steps of 0.5. The trip time is selected via the
„Short Cct. t‟ setting (Level 6, Screen 5) and is adjustable from 20ms to 160ms.
To reset the relay following a short circuit trip it is necessary operate the reset key/digital input.
7.3 Phase Current Balance
The current balance measurement „Ib‟ is displayed on the „Voltage and Current Information‟ page, Level
2, Screen 2.
If Iave is <100% the difference between the average current and each phase current is calculated. The
maximum difference is used as the current balance percentage.
If Iave is >= 100% then the current balance is calculated as:
Where:
Iave = Average of the 3 phase currents
MAX Δ I = The maximum deviation of a phase current from the average
Phase current balance protection is selected via the „Cur.Bal.trip‟ setting (Level 6, Screen 9).
The trip level is selectable at 5%, 10%, 20%, 50%, and OFF.
The phase current balance protection is inhibited until the average current exceeds both 20% of the
selected full load current and the selected balance trip level.
If any phase drops below the selected trip setting for a period of 2 seconds then the outlet is stopped. To
reset the relay following a current balance trip, operate the reset key/digital input.

7.4 Residual Current Signal
The three phase current signals are summed electronically in the IPM to produce a residual current
signal that can be used to detect earth fault currents. If the residual current signal exceeds the trip level
for the selected trip time, a trip occurs, tripping the MCR relay. The fault is latched.
To reset the relay following a residual current trip, operate the reset key/digital input.
L2: Displays the 3 phase currents as a % of the FLC
L3: Displays the average current and the % residual current as „Ir‟
L4: Displays the current balance and the % of leakage current
The trip level is selected via the „Residual iTrp‟ setting (Level 6, Screen 11) and is adjustable from 10%
to 250% FLC and „off‟. The trip time is selected via the „Res.trip time‟ setting (Level 6, Screen 12) and is
adjustable from 100ms to 5 seconds. Setting the trip level to „off‟ disables this function.
NOTE
The residual current function can be used even if a core balance toroid
is used for earth leakage protection. It can be used to provide some
detection of wiring/CT/internal relay faults.
7.5 Undercurrent Trip
Undercurrent protection is enabled as soon as the main contactor is closed (indicated by closing the MCI
input). Selecting a value of “None” will inhibit this function. If any phase drops below the selected trip
setting for a period of 4 seconds then the outlet is stopped. This raises the “Under Current Trip” alarm
and is recorded in the event log as “Und.I Trp”. To reset the relay, operate the reset button.
The trip level is selected via the „Under I Level‟ setting (Level 6, Screen 10). The trip level is selectable at
32%, 40%, 48%, 56%, 64%, 72%, 80%, 88%, and 96%. Setting the trip level to “None” disables this
function.
NOTE
This function is used when in snore mode and must be set to an
appropriate level – note that there is a 4 second delay before a trip.

8 VOLTAGE RELATED FUNCTIONS
The IPM relay uses the Insulation Test Module (ITM) to monitor the magnitude of the voltage on the load
side of the outlet‟s main contactor. The voltage measurement is used to implement the following
functions:
Main Contactor Fail Protection
Undervoltage Trip
Voltage Metering
Figure 8.1: IPM Voltage Monitoring Connections
8.1 Main Contactor Fail Protection
The Main Contactor Fail (MCF) protection operates if the Main Contactor (MC) fails to function by either:
1. Failing to open when required. This is achieved by comparing the state of the main contactor (via
the Main Contactor Input MCI) against the state of the MCR relay output. This test provides
“Frozen Contactor Protection”.
2. Failing to maintain insulation across the contacts when the contactor is open. The Insulation Test
Module (ITM) is used to measure the voltage on the load side of the contactor. If this exceeds
10% of the rated line voltage, a trip will occur. This test provides “Loss of Vacuum Protection”.
This function is inhibited immediately after the main contactor opens to allow for back EMF
voltages generated by some motors to dissipate. The inbuilt time is selected via the „back EMF
time‟ setting (Level 6, Screen 20). The settings are adjustable from 2 to 20 seconds.
A main contactor fail trip operates the CBR relay, which trips the circuit breaker.
To reset the relay following a main contact failure trip, operate the reset key/digital input.
The status of the MCI input can be viewed on the „IPM Relay and Keys‟ screen, (Level 4, Screen 2).
8.2 Undervoltage Trip
The undervoltage protection is enabled as soon as the main contactor is closed (indicated by closing the
MCI input). If any of the phase voltages drop below the selected trip setting of the nominal line voltage
for 800ms then the MCR relay is de-energised.
To reset the relay following an undervoltage trip, operate the reset key/digital input.
The trip level is selected via the „U/V Trp level‟ setting (Level 6, Screen 19) and is adjustable between
40, 50, 60, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95 & OFF. Setting the trip level to „OFF‟ disables this function.

9 MACHINE COMMUNICATION
The IPM provides the option of using the Remote Termination Module (RTM) to provide machine
communication. See Section 6.3 for connection diagram.
9.1 Remote Termination Module
The Remote Termination Module is a microprocessor based fully encapsulated module that replaces the
diode at the end of the pilot conductor of the trailing cable. It is powered by and communicates via the
pilot line. Its non-volatile memory stores the parameters to configure the outlet as appropriate for that
machine.
This allows the motor to be supplied from different outlets without the need for re-programming the
protection settings into the IPM each time.
Machine type and machine number are displayed on the Default and Earth Continuity Screens (Levels 1
and 3).
9.2 Machine Type Codes
There are fourteen (14) selectable machine type codes available for use in the Remote Termination
Module. The descriptive code is transmitted to the IPM Relay to identify the type of machine connected
to the outlet. The codes are programmed at the „RTM Mach. Type‟ page (Level 6, Screen 1).

10 FAN BURP FUNCTION
The Burp Function of the IPM relay allows the progressive inflation of ventilation bags (tubes) by pulsing
the motor contactor, controlling the ventilation fan, several times at start up (see Section 12.6.5 for
operational sequence).
There are three configurable parameters that control the Burp Function at start up, „Burp Number of
Pulses‟, „Burp Pulse On Time‟ and „Burp Pulse Off Time‟.
Selectable Settings:
„# Burp Pulses‟ (Level 6, Screen 25) - selectable at none and 1 to 6 (selection of “none” disables
the Burp Function).
„Burp On Time‟ (Level 6, Screen 26) and „Burp Off Time‟ (Level 6, Screen 27) - selectable at 0.6,
0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 seconds.
11 PUMP SNORE FUNCTION
The purpose of the IPM Snore Function is to (optionally) add a timed re-start to the IPM Relay after an
undercurrent trip has been detected. Refer to Section 7.5 for more information on the operation of the
undercurrent trip function.
11.1 Basic Operation
The basic operation of the snore function is illustrated using the following scenario:
Assume a pump is the load device of the relay, which pumps a dam. When the water level drops below
the pump pickup, the load current will drop significantly enough to be detected as an undercurrent trip
(as set in the settings level 6) by the IPM.
The Snore Function (Snore-Process) will operate only after configuration and activation via the IPM
menus. The snore function will operate after undercurrent is detected and will permit the pump to restart
after a time delay (tSnoreDelay). After this off period the pump will restart. During the first 4 second ON
period (tSnoreOn) the pump will run, and only if the pump remains in an undercurrent state, the IPM will
extend tSnoreDelay by 1.5 times and switch off the output relay for the new setting of tSnoreDelay. This
process will continue until the time reaches a maximum of tSnoreDelay x 8.
The initial setting for tSnoreDelay is obtained from a menu configuration setting (tSnoreSet). The
available initial settings are OFF, 5, 10, 15, 20, 8F, 15F, 20F, 30F, 60F minutes (the “F” represents a
fixed delay that does not extend tSnoreDelay as described above. If a load is detected during tSnoreOn
(that is, no undercurrent is detected), the pump will remain on, but tSnoreDelay will be reduced to ¾ of
its present setting; but not below tSnoreSet (this does not apply to the “F” settings). In the case where
the new tSnoreDelay is less than tSnoreSet, then tSnoreDelay shall be set to tSnoreSet.
When in tSnoreDelay mode, and if a „Start‟ is initiated from:
a) The „Start‟ key (on the relay), or,
b) A pulse from the External Start input is detected
Then the relay will immediately abort the running tSnoreDelay and proceed through a power-on
sequence.
If a power failure occurs when the IPM is operating in Snore Mode, it will resume operating in Snore
Mode when power is restored. If Aux is open, or there is an EL fault on Power Up, the snore function will
wait for up to 15 seconds to start.

11.2 Setup Procedure for Snore Function
Setup of the Snore Function is done by settings throughout the menu structure. The additional settings
required to enable the Snore Function include:
Start Mode must be set to „Snore‟
The Snore Delay parameter must not be set to none
The „Under Current‟ trip level must not be set to none
The AUX External Digital input must be active
11.2.1 Relay Snore Mode Starting Procedure
When the „Snore‟ start mode is selected, the relay can be initially started from different sources:
Start key on facia, if and only if the aux input is closed,
External start button, if and only if the aux input is closed.
Each operation of the „Start‟ key will cause the relay to proceed through a power-on sequence
regardless of the status of the snore function.
11.2.2 Relay Stop Procedure
The relay will be stopped whenever the Stop key or the external Stop is actioned – regardless of the
Snore process. This will reset the snore delay timer.
If the AUX input opens at any time during operation in Snore mode, then a start is required to restart the
snore function. The Message „Snore – Need Aux‟ will be displayed on the screen when in Snore mode
with the AUX open. This will reset the snore delay timer.

12.3 Last Trip Status Messages
The IPM Relay has several functions, which can stop/trip the outlet and then self-clear. The IPM Relay
therefore saves the non-latched trip codes in a register and displays the „Last Trip‟ messages in the
Status Message Page (note that the stop/trip function also appears in the Event Log).

12.4 Communications
The IPM Relay provides an industry standard RS485 Slave Modbus communication port. This allows
connection to a PLC or a SCADA system. APPENDIX 5: IPM Modbus Address Table provides detail on
Modbus addresses.
The baud rate is selected via the „Modbus:Baud /P‟ setting (Level 5, Screen 4) and is selectable between
1200 and 19200 Baud, with even, odd, or no parity. One stop bit is used in conjunction with parity, while
two stop bits are used with no parity.
The half-duplex 3-wire RS485 communications interface allows up to 31 devices to be multi-dropped
onto a single master communication line. The IPM‟s Modbus Slave address is selected via the „ModBus
Addr:‟ setting (Level 5, Screen 3) and is adjustable between 1 and 31.
12.4.1 Modbus Commands
The following Modbus commands are supported:

12.5 Remote IPM Control
The IPM and RTM software have been changed to allow for the RTM digital input to be used to control
the IPM. This functionality is similar to that of the IPB/C/D.
The remote start can be set in two modes. In one mode it is always active and in the other mode it is
active only when the auxiliary digital input is closed. Remote start can also be disabled.
12.5.1 Function Overview
A previously unused parameter called „remote start‟, originally intended to implement the remote start
functionality, is used to enable the remote start function. Setting it to „yes‟ enables remote start. Setting
it to „no‟ will disable remote start. Setting it to „Aux‟ enables remote start only when the auxiliary digital
input is closed.
The remote input (on the RTM) is edge sensitive. This ensures that if there is an upstream trip, the IPM
will not restart automatically once the power is restored. It also allows the keypad and external digital
input stops to work sensibly so that if the IPM is stopped locally, it will not restart immediately after any
of the stop are released.
When remote start is active, the remote input is closed to start the IPM and must remain closed while
the IPM is running. The remote input is opened to stop the IPM.

12.5.2 Operating Modes
NOTE
The external digital stop input and the keypad stop will always stop the
IPM regardless of the start mode.
There are two modes in which the IPM relay can operate:
Diode Mode- The remote start parameter has no effect when the IPM is set to diode mode.
RTM Mode- The Remote start parameter has three possible options; „no‟, „yes‟ and „aux‟.
12.5.2.1 Remote start - ‘no’
The remote input will be ignored. Starting the relay will depend on whatever start mode is selected
as per the existing operation.
12.5.2.2 Remote start - ‘yes’
1. Start mode - „K/Ext‟ (Keypad or External)
Keypad and External start inputs are ignored. Remote input controls the IPM. Local stop
input will still stop the IPM. Local stop inputs will override the remote start if they are held
closed while a remote start is signalled.
2. Start mode - „Ext‟ (External only)
As per „K/Ext‟
3. Start mode - „K&Ext‟ (Keypad and External)
As per „K/Ext‟
4. Start mode - „Modbs‟ and „Snore‟
These modes will not operate when remote start is set to „yes‟. The status display will
show “Configuration Err”.
12.5.2.3 Remote start - ‘Aux’
When an appropriate start mode is selected, changing the Auxiliary digital input will switch between
local (keypad or external digital start input) and remote (RTM digital input). It is allowable to change
the state of the Auxiliary input while the IPM is running.
If the RTM input is open and the IPM is running while the Auxiliary input is closed, the IPM will
immediately stop. If the RTM input is closed and the IPM is running while the Auxiliary input is
closed, the IPM will continue to run.
1. Start mode - „K/Ext‟, „Ext‟ and „K&Ext‟
The IPM will change between remote start mode and local start mode depending on the
state of the „Aux‟ digital input. When the input is closed the IPM will be controlled via the
RTM as described in Section 4.4.4.
When the „Aux‟ digital input is open the control will revert to local mode. The start signal
required will depend on the Start mode parameter.
2. Start mode - „Modbs‟ and „Snore‟
These modes will not operate when remote start is set to „yes‟. The status display will
show “Configuration Err”.

12.5.3 IPM/RTM Software Compatibility
NOTE
A „New IPM‟ is considered to be version 9 or earlier; An „Old RTM‟ is
version 2 or earlier (reported as „20‟ on the IPM display).
New RTM and New IPM - Nothing to consider.
New RTM and Old IPM - The Old IPM will ignore the remote start setting.
Old RTM and New IPM - The new IPM will check the version of the RTM (this is transmitted in
the pilot protocol). If the RTM has the „remote start‟ parameter set, but the RTM version is too old,
the IPM will display “RTM Version Error”.
Old RTM and Old IPM - Nothing to consider.
12.5.4 Status Messages
There are two new status messages - “Need RTM Start” and “Remote Stop”.
When in remote start mode, whenever the RTM‟s digital input is open, the display will show “Remote
Stop”. If the digital input is closed but the IPM is stopped the display will show “Need RTM Start” to
indicate that the RTM‟s digital input needs to be opened and then closed to generate a new edge.
NOTE
This is most likely to happen if the RTM‟s digital input is closed to allow
the IPM to run and then a local stop is used to stop the IPM. Because of
the edged triggered nature of the RTM digital input, the IPM will not
automatically restart.

12.6 System Control
12.6.1 Digital Inputs
The IPM provides six (6) voltage free digital inputs for correct operation. To activate an input a
connection needs to be made from '+DiPwr' terminal to the respective digital input‟s terminal.
IPM Dig Inputs 4
ExtRst¡/¡ Lock¡_¡
ExtStp¡/¡ Aux¡/¡
ExtStr¡/¡ A/O 20.0mA
L2: Displays the status of the external reset and the lock inputs.
L3: Displays the status of the external stop and the auxiliary inputs.
L4: Displays the external start input and the analogue output in mA.
The function of each input is as follows:
1. Lock: The lock input needs to be closed whenever changes to the relay settings are being made.
If the lock input is not closed then the settings cannot be changed.
The lock input must also be closed to reset the thermal memory to allow an emergency restart.
To perform a reset, the motor must be stopped (MCI open) and both the reset key and the lock
input must be held closed for 1.5 seconds. This will reset the „Thermal Accumulator‟ and allow
the motor to be started immediately.
2. Reset: The reset digital input performs the same function as the keyboard reset allowing for
external/remote resetting of trips. To reset a trip, an open to close transition on the reset input (or
reset key) is required.
3. MCI: The Motor Contactor Interlock input provides the IPM relay with the status of the motor
contactor. Its status is used by the thermal modelling to activate the 'Cooling Multiplier' and also
provides the basis for Motor Contactor Fail (MCF) monitoring.
4. Digital: This is an auxiliary digital input.
5. Ex-Start: This input allows the installation of an external start button.
6. Ex-Stop: This input allows the installation of an external stop button.
12.6.2 Output Relays
The IPM provides three relay outputs for correct operation. All relay contacts are rated at 5A/190VAC.
1. MCR: (Main Trip Relay). This relay energises when there are no trips, and drops out whenever a
trip occurs. A normally open and a changeover set of contacts are provided.
2. ALM: (Alarm Relay). This relay energises whenever there are alarms active and drops out when
all alarms are clear. One changeover set of contacts is provided.
3. CBR: (CBR Relay). This relay is normally energised and drops out if there is a short circuit trip or
a motor contactor fail trip. One changeover set of contacts is provided.

12.6.3 Outlet Control
The outlet can be energised by local or remote operation depending on the „Remote Start‟ option. The
selection is “Yes” or “No” (Level 6, Screen 16).
If “Yes” is selected the relay ignores the local start input thus allowing operation of the outlet from the
remote machine. Both the external and local stop buttons will turn off the outlet.
If “No” is selected the local start/stop buttons control the outlet.
12.6.4 Start Mode
The Start Mode is selected at (Level 5, Screen 3). The possible settings are K/Ext, Ext, K&Ext, Modbus
and Snore. The start/stop logic operates as follows:
1. The external stop digital input and the front keypad stop button will always stop the relay,
regardless of the settings for „Start Mode‟. In all cases only one of the stop inputs needs to be
active to stop the relay.
2. K/Ext mode – Relay can be started with either an external start or the keypad.
3. Ext mode – Only the external start is used. The keypad start is disabled.
4. K&Ext mode – Both the external start and the front panel keypad start button needs to be active
to start the relay.
5. Modbus mode – Not implemented.
6. Snore mode – The parameters for Under Current Trip, Start Mode and the Snore time delay need
to be set for your application. Extra protection against accidentally selecting this mode is provided
by requiring the external digital input to be closed before this mode will start.
12.6.5 Operational Sequence (Insulation Test and Burp Function selected)
Before an outlet can be energised there should be no protection faults present.
Once the start button is operated an insulation test is performed. If the result of this test is satisfactory
the Burp Phase is initiated. When the Burp Phase is completed the IPM Relay goes into the run mode.
A time delay of 5 seconds is allowed for the Main Contactor Interlock (MCI) to close. If it does not
close within this time, then the run mode is exited.
If a stop input is closed while the relay is in run mode, the run is cleared, and the MCR relay de-
energises. The event log reads “Stopped”.
While the main contactor is closed, the MCI input is continuously monitored. If it opens, the run is
cleared and the MCR relay de-energises. In this case the event log records “MC Opened” which
indicates that the outlet was turned off by something other than the IPM Relay, for example, open
circuited main contactor coil or control supply.
It should be noted that if the main contactor does not close when the MCR relay closes and the
start/stop conditions are maintained, then the IPM will cycle through the following start sequence:
testing, run, stopped, pause then repeat the sequence while ever the start input is closed.

12.7 Analogue Output
The IPM Relay provides an isolated 4-20mA analogue output. The output continuously monitors Average
Current, Overload, Earth Leakage and the Insulation Level of the relay. The Monitor Output settings can
be selected at „4-20mA Output‟ (Level 6, Screen 28). Settings available are O/L (0-100%), Iave (0-
250%), E/L (0-100%) and MΩ (0-40MΩ). The analogue output status in milliamps is shown on the „IPM
Relay and Keys‟ screen, (Level 4, Screen 2).
12.8 IPM Alarm Functions
The IPM has several standard alarm functions. If any are triggered, the Alarm Relay (ALM) picks up.
Each has a selectable alarm level, and can be disabled. Generally the alarms are self-resetting once the
alarm condition is removed.
1. High Current Alarm - Is activated by the phase currents exceeding the selected threshold. It is
selected via the „High I alarm‟ setting (Level 6, Screen 21) and is adjustable from 100% to 600%
FLC and „off‟. The highest of the three phase currents is used. Time delay = 1 sec. Setting the
alarm level to „off‟ disables this function.
2. Overload Alarm - Is activated by the thermal accumulator exceeding the selected threshold. It is
selected via the „O/L Alarm Lev‟ setting (Level 6, Level 22) and is adjustable from 50% to 95%
and „off‟. Time delay = 2 s. A motor overload trip overrides this alarm. Setting the alarm level to
„off‟ disables this function.
3. Under Cur. Alarm - Is activated by the phase current falling below the selected threshold. It is
selected via the „Under I Alarm‟ setting (Level 7, Screen 10) and is adjustable from 32% to 96%
and „off‟. This alarm is only activated when the motor is running (MCI input closed). Time delay =
2 sec. Setting the alarm level to „off‟ disables this function.
4. Earth Leakage Alarm - Is activated when the earth leakage current exceeds a set level. The
alarm level is selected via the „E/L Alarm Lev‟ setting (Level 6, Screen 24) and can be set to 20%,
50%, 80% and „off‟. The earth leakage alarm has a time delay of 1 second and auto resets when
the earth leakage current falls below the selected level. Setting the alarm level to „Off‟ disables
this function.
5. Insulat. Test Alarm - Is activated when the meg-ohm resistance of each phase to earth, as a
result of an insulation test, equals or falls below the alarm level. The alarm level is set at 1.5
times the trip setting.
The alarm message is displayed until a new test is initiated or the key is pressed while displaying
the alarm message. The „Insulat. Test Alarm‟ is also recorded in the Event Log.

12.9 Event Log
A real time clock/calendar is included in the IPM Relay. This combines with the non-volatile memory to
provide a data-logging feature. This log sequentially records the time, date and details of the most recent

13 USER ADJUSTABLE SETTINGS
13.1 Parameter Groups
There are two groups of adjustable settings contained in the IPM relay‟s non-volatile memory. Both
groups can be viewed and modified via the display and the up/down and left/right keys.
The first group of settings is always stored in the relay and relates to parameters, which are linked to the
system rather than the particular load connected to the outlet.

memory in the Remote Termination Module, depending on the “Pilot Mode” setting.
If Diode Mode is selected the IPM Relay reads and writes to and from the relay‟s internal memory for the
group 2 settings.
If RTM Mode is selected, the settings are sent to and retrieved from the memory in the Remote
Termination Module.

13.2 Changing Settings
The procedure for adjusting the settings is independent of where the values are stored. The EC Pilot
Mode should be checked prior to making any other adjustments to be certain the changes are made to
the desired memory.
Ensure the outlet is stopped.
For Group 2 Settings in RTM Mode, ensure RTM is online.
Display the parameter that has to be changed.
Close and hold the lock input.
Press the enter button to change the current parameter.
Use the left and right arrows to step through the allowable values until the desired new setting is
displayed.
Press the enter button to indicate that the value is the required setting.
Once Saving indicator has finished on the display, open the lock input.
If the ESC key is operated at any stage during the procedure, the modifying sequence is aborted and the
setting reverts to its previously stored value.
When changes have been made to the stored values, the old value and the new value are stored in the
event log.
A separate log immediately proceeds this, recording the time and date that the change was made.

14 SERVICE, MAINTENANCE & DISPOSAL
14.1 Equipment Service
A number of external system based checks should be completed on a regular basis. These „routine
inspections‟ must be carried out by suitably trained people with knowledge of the relay and the systems
into which it is fitted. Routine inspections may take the form of either visual-only checks, or visual and
„hands-on‟ checks.
14.1.1 Visual Only Inspections
A basic visual inspection focuses on looking at the installation for signs of physical damage, water or
dust ingress and the condition of cables and labels. This type of inspection may involve opening
cabinets to gain access to the relay and other equipment. This level of inspection may also include
cleaning display windows that have become obscured by dirt.
Observations would typically be:
Check that equipment enclosures, cable trays, conduits, etc. are in good order with no physical
damage.
Check that sealed wall boxes are free from water and dust ingress internally. Door seals are in
good condition.
Check that connected cables are free from cuts, abrasions and obvious signs of damage. Cable
restraints are in good order and correctly fitted.
Check that labels on equipment, wall boxes and cables are present and in good condition
(especially certification labels).
Check that no modifications have been carried out to installed equipment.
14.1.2 Hands-On (Detailed) Inspections
A more detailed inspection would include all of the elements of a visual inspection, plus some checks
that cover the integrity of connections, fixtures and fittings.
In addition to basic visual observations, more detailed integrity checks would involve:
Verify that equipment housings, wall boxes and other mechanical fixtures are secured in place.
This includes terminal box lids, tightness of cable glands, integrity of wall-box mountings, security
of equipment fixing to walls/DIN rails etc.
Verify all electrical connections are secure with no loose screw terminals or DIN rail terminals not
fitted to rails etc.

14.2 Equipment Maintenance
WARNING!
The IPM V2 relay system has no user-serviceable parts.
All repairs must be carried out by Ampcontrol only.
If a fault develops, return the product to Ampcontrol for repair. It is
essential that no attempt be made to repair the product as any
attempt to dismantle or repair the product can seriously compromise
the safety of the unit and voids product warranty.
It is recommended that the electrical protection system incorporating the relay be subject to regular
functional tests at intervals determined by risk assessment or FMEA. These intervals typically coincide
with periodic maintenance checks and will cover (but not limited to) tests such as those listed in the
commissioning section (Section 5).
14.3 Disposal
ENVIRO
The electronic equipment discussed in this manual must not be
treated as general waste. By ensuring that this product is disposed of
