Description :
Powered by the current transformers, lmax = 4000, the RMS7 unit
performs all the necessary current protections with true rms value sensing:
• overload protection (LT)
• short-circuit protection (ST and I)
• ground fault protection (GF)
(The 4th (neutral) current transformer must be of the same rating as those of the three phases).

RMS7 : Options
The following options are field fittable

Distinct Fault Signalling (LT, ST, I, GF)


• Local indication by LED display.
this option is power supplied by an internal battery.
• Lead sealing.

VIEW Button
- Indicates the battery status (battery ok when the “BAT” led is powered).
- Indicates the origin of fault (LTPU - GF - OVL - SHORT).

RESET Button
- Reset the fault indicator.

Trip Unit Healthiness : press and hold the view button for more than 5
seconds. If the LTPU LED blinks slowly, it indicates the healthiness of the trip
unit.

CAUTION
- The battery can be replaced only by Panasonic CR1616 or Duracell
DC1616B.
- Use of others battery can present a risk of fire, explosion or can damage the
product.
- Check the polarity of the battery.
