protection product line in respect of hardware and software is a modular concept and even if the AQ-
F201 is member of the product line it does not support the user customizable modularity either in
software or hardware. Instead AQ-F201 is provided as xed Overcurrent and Earth-fault relay with
factory set IO and functionality. This manual describes the specic application of the AQ-F201
Overcurrent and Earth-fault relay only. 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.

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.
