3. General
AQ-F255 Feeder Protection IED is a member of the AQ-200 product line. The AQ-200 protection
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-F255 Feeder
Protection 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).
16 freely congurable LEDs with programmable legend texts.
3 object control buttons: Choose the controllable object with Ctrl –button, control breaker with
0- and I push buttons.
L/R push button for switching between local and remote control modes.
7 Navigation buttons for IED local programming and a button for password activation.
RJ-45 Ethernet port for IED conguration.
Power LED is lit (green) when unit is powered on. Error LED is lit (red) when relay has an internal error
that affects the operation of the unit. This can be either a hardware or software error. Start LED
(yellow) and Trip LED (red) activation is user settable. Activation and color (green/yellow) of the 16
LEDs on the right side of the display are user settable.

4.2. Mimic and main menu
4.2.1. Basic conguration
IED user interface is divided into 5 quick displays. The displays are Events, Favorites, Mimic, LEDs and
Clock. Default quick display is the mimic view and it is possible to glance through these menus by
pressing arrows left and right. Please note that the available quick display carousel views might be
different if user has changed it with AQtivate setting tools Carousel Designer. Home button transfers
the user between quick display carousel and main conguration menus. Main conguration menus are
General, Protection, Control, Communication, Measurements and Monitoring. Available menus vary
depending on IED type. You can choose the main menu by using the four arrow keys and press enter.
Figure. 4.2.1. - 2. Basic navigation.
Cancel/Back keytakes you one step back or holding it down for 3 seconds takes you back to
general –menu.Cancel key is also used for resettinguser alarm LEDs.
Padlock buttontakes user to password menu where it is possible to enter different user levels
(user, operator, congurator and super user).
4.2.2. Navigation in main conguration menus
All the settings in this IED type have been divided into main conguration menus. Main conguration
menus are presented below. Available menus may vary according to IED type.

Clear devices events.
LCD contrast level and setting 0…255 (120 as default).
Reset latched signals
Protection/Control/Monitor prole: Displays the status of enabled functions.
4.4. Protection menu
Protection menuincludes Stage activation sub-menu and sub-menus for different protection functions
like Overcurrent, Earthfault, Seq. and balance and Supporting. Valid protection functions vary
according IED type.

Function is activated and disabled in Stage activation menu. It is possible to disable function in
Info menu as well.
Function condition indicates whether the stages condition is Normal, Start or Trip.
Measured amplitude can be Peak-to-peak, TRMS or RMS. As a default it is set as RMS.
Under Characteristic graphs-title you can open graphs related to the protection function.
Info view has calculator for function starts, trips and blockings. It is possible to clear calculators
by choosing Clear statistics and Clear.

Specic fault data of IEDs is stored in operation log under the register. Each of these 12 logs includes
pre-fault current, fault current, time stamp and active group during the triggering. Operation log can be
cleared by choosing Clear registers → Clear .
Events generated by the specic stage can be checked by going to Stage event register. General
events cannot be cleared.
Figure. 4.4. - 11. Stage information is divided into two sections.
Starting and tripping signals of protection stages are connected to physical outputs in Direct Output
Control menu. It is possible to connect to output relay or to start- trip- or user congurable LED. In
case when stage is internally blocked (DI or other signal) it is possible to congure an output to indicate
that stage is blocked. Connection to outputs can be either latched |x| or non-latched x.
Stage blocking is done in Blocking Input Control menu. Blocking can be done by using digital inputs,
logical inputs or outputs, stage start- trip- or blocked information or by using object status information.
