3. General
AQ-P215 Power Monitoring IED is a member of the AQ-200 product line. The AQ-200 protection and
monitoring product line in respect of hardware and software is a modular concept. The hardware
modules are assembled and congured according to the application IO requirements and the software
determines the available functions. This manual describes the specic application of the AQ-P215
Power Monitoring IED. For other AQ-200 series products please consult corresponding device
manuals.

4. IED user interface
4.1. Panel structure
AQ 200 series IED user interface section is divided into hardware- and software user interface
sections. Software interface is divided into local panel conguration and programming by using
AQtivate 200 freeware software suite.
4.1.1. AQ 200 series local panel structure
AQ 200 series IED have multiple LEDs, control buttons and local RJ-45 Ethernet port for conguration
on front as a default. On rear each unit is equipped with RS-485 serial interface and RJ-45 Ethernet
interface options as a standard. See list below.
Figure. 4.1.1. - 1. Local panel structure.
4 default LEDs: Power, Error, Start (congurable) and Trip (congurable).
