DANGER
Danger of explosion of the battery.
! Noncompliance with the safety instructions means that death, severe injuries, or
considerable material damages can occur.
Do not throw the lithium batteries into a fire.

WARNING
Warning about battery disposal.

! Noncompliance with the safety instructions means that severe injuries or considerable
material damages can occur.
When discharged, or when properly secured against short-circuit, lithium batteries can be
disposed off through retailers or at depots run by competent organizations.

NOTE:
7SR45 Argus Relay with 1 contained lithium metal cylindrical cell (0.6 g lithium content) and 1
lithium metal button cell meets the preconditions of special provision (SP)188 of the UN
Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, 17th revised edition and is classified
according to:
 ADR/RID/ADN/IMDG-Code: UN 3091 Lithium metal batteries contained in equipment,
class 9, preconditions of SP 188 met.
 ICAO-TI/IATA-DGR: UN 3091 Lithium metal batteries contained in equipment, class 9,
preconditions of section II of packing instruction (PI) 970 met.

Do not transport the 7SR45 Argus Relay when it is activated. Before transportation, ensure that
the 7SR45 Argus Relay is “not in the battery power mode” and paper strip is inserted
between the battery clip and battery.
The lithium metal cells for 7SR45 Argus Relay (as a spare part) are also subject to the special
provision (SP)188 mentioned above, but classified according to:
 ADR/RID/AND/IMDG-Code: UN 3090 Lithium metal batteries, class 9, preconditions of SP
188 met.
 ICAO-TI/IATA-DGR: UN 3090 Lithium metal batteries, class 9, preconditions of section IB
or II of packing Instruction (PI) 968 met.

Section 1: Introduction
This manual is applicable to the following relay:
• 7SR45 Argus Self Powered/Dual Powered Non-Directional Overcurrent and Earth Fault Relay

General Safety Precautions

1.1 Current Transformer Circuits
The secondary circuit of a live CT must not be open circuited. Non-observance of this precaution can
result in injury to personnel or damage to equipment.

1.2 External Resistors

Where external resistors are connected to the relay circuitry, these may present a danger of electric
shock or burns, if touched.

1.3 Description
7SR45 Argus Self Powered/Dual Powered Non-Directional Overcurrent and Earth Fault Relay is developed using
the latest generation of hardware technology and is available in multiple variants depending on the following:
• CT ratings (1 A/5 A)
• Auxiliary Power supply
• Communication configuration
• Binary Input
• Binary Output
• Local/remote Flag Indicator

7SR45 Argus is a member of Siemens Reyrolle® protection devices Argus product family.
7SR45 Argus Self Powered/Dual Powered Non-Directional Overcurrent and Earth Fault Relay is housed in a
4U high, size 4 non draw-out case and provides protection, monitoring, and instrumentation functions with
integrated input and output logic and fault reports.
The relay functionality can be configured via a front USB port for local PC connection or rear electrical RS485
(optional) port for remote connection. By using the Reydisp Evolution software, the user can update the settings
and view the fault records (trip log) and the event records (event log).
7SR45 Argus Self Powered/Dual Powered Non-Directional Overcurrent and Earth Fault Relay support the
IEC 60870-5-103 and Modbus communication protocols based on the ordering option.
7SR45 Argus Self Powered/Dual Powered Non-Directional Overcurrent and Earth Fault Relay can indicate the trip
with local and remote flag indicator based on the ordering option.
NOTE:
In this Technical Manual, the 7SR45 Argus Self Powered/Dual Powered Non-Directional Overcurrent and
Earth Fault Relay will be referred as 7SR45 Argus Relay.

Section 2: Hardware Description

2.1 General
The structure of the 7SR45 Argus relay is based on the compact hardware platform. The 7SR45 Argus relay is
supplied in a non draw-out 4U high size 4 case. The hardware design provides a commonality between the
products and components across the range of relays.

The 7SR45 Argus Relay is assembled from the following modules:

1. Front Fascia with 9 non-programmable LEDs

2. Processor Module
3. Current Analogue
4. Input Module
5. Output Module
6. Power Supply Module
7. Rear Port Communications Module (Available with dual powered model)

2.2 Front Fascia

The front fascia is an integral part of the relay and allows the user to access all the push buttons and performs the
setting changes and control actions. The fascia provides an option to reset the fault data display, latched binary
outputs, and LEDs by using the TEST/RESET ► button. The front fascia contains predefined LED list which
provides the information about the LED indicators.

2.3 Power Supply Unit (PSU)

The relay is supplied with the following nominal power supply ranges:
• 60 V to 240 V AC/DC power supply (BI threshold - 88 V AC/DC)
• 24 V to 60 V DC power supply (BI threshold -19 V DC)
The power supply module is equipped with 2 or 4 binary inputs and binary outputs based on the ordering options.
The PSU also consists of one RS485 communication interface (half duplex) for communicating with RTUs and
parameterization of relays via remote locations.
For AC connections, the auxiliary supply is made with the live connection to positive terminal and neutral
connection to negative for consistency and safety.
If the power supply voltage levels are falling below the relay minimum operate level, the 7SR45 Argus relay power
will automatically switch over to CT power through phase CT currents.

2.4 Connectors
In 7SR45 Argus Relay, all the connectors are pluggable type except the CT connectors. The relay consists of the
following connectors and the connector terminals are designated suitably:
• Auxiliary power supply
• Remote flag output
• Pulse output
• Binary inputs
• Binary outputs
• RS485 connector

2.4.1 Connectors for Self and Dual Powered Relay Variant

The power supply module is equipped with additional two numbers of binary input and binary outputs. It also
consists of RS485 communication port at the rear side.
