INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installing the Control Unit
The Control Unit is surface mounted using the two 4mm mounting holes provided. To access the mounting holes, unscrew the four screws securing
the lid of the Control Unit. Two M4×16 bolts are located inside the enclosure for mounting the unit. After mounting, replace the cover of the unit,
and secure tightly with the four screws to ensure good sealing.
Selecting the Reset Time
Select the appropriate reset time for the unit by setting the reset timer DIP switch onboard the Control Unit.
Installing the Remote Indicator (optional)
The M10x20 bolt should be mounted in a secure place where the indication is required.
Connecting the Auxiliary Relay (optional)
For additional remote fault signaling the auxiliary relay cable is connected through a cable gland to the two-way screw terminal marked “RELAY”.
This is a normally-open circuit.
Installing the Current Transformer (CT)
The current transformer comprises of a flexible iron-core belt with a magnetic
pickup coil. The CT is wrapped tightly around the three-phase system to be
monitored using the adjustable cable ties provided.
NOTE: The CT should not encircle the HV cable earth lead as well. Instead the
earth lead should by-pass the CT, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
Multi-Core Cable System
The CT100 and CT150 sensors are used for multi-core cable systems. The CT is
mounted on the screened part of the cable below the strip-back point as shown
in Figure 1. The center cable-tie of the CT sensor is used to secure the sensor
firmly on the cable. The flexible iron-core of the sensor is wrapped in a closed
overlapping circle around the cable and pulled tightly with the second cable-tie as
far as is possible. The screen of the cable is turned back underneath the sensor
and terminated as shown.
Single-Core Cable System
For single-core cable systems a larger CT300 sensor is used. The flexible iron-core
of the sensor is wrapped in a closed overlapping circle around the cable as tightly
as possible and secured in place with cable-ties. Care should be taken to ensure
that the sensor is mounted on the screened part of the cable. The screen of all
three conductors should be turned underneath the core and terminated as
shown in Figure 2.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

MANUAL TEST
Following installation, it is important that the unit is tested with the Manual test facility provided.
The test sequence below should be followed.
1) Press the “Test / Reset” pushbutton on the front of the unit for a minimum of 3 seconds.
The flag indicator will flip to the trip position.
The auxiliary relay will latch in the closed position.
The remote indicator (if installed) will initially flash at about 10Hz to indicate the battery is healthy and then flash at 1Hz.
This test state will continue for a period of 60 seconds or until the test pushbutton is pressed again to terminate the manual test.
SAFETY
WARNING: Under certain fault conditions, high voltages can be conducted into the earth fault indicator enclosure through the
CT, remote indicator, or the auxiliary relay cables. All parts within the enclosure should be handled as if carrying dangerous voltages.
WARNING: Use extreme caution during the installation and use of the earth fault indicator as high voltages and currents may
be present in the circuit.
•Ensure that the current sensor is installed at earth potential on the HV cable system.
•Ensure that the current sensor is installed on the screened part of the cable system.
•Use caution during the installation and use of this product; high voltages and currents may be present in the circuit.
•This product must be used only by qualified personnel practicing applicable safety precautions.
•Wear protective clothing and gloves as required.
•Do not install this product on live conductors.
•Always de-energize circuit before installing the current sensor and indicating unit.
•Always inspect the current sensor, indicating unit and all leads for damage before using the product.
•Do not use the product if damaged.
