3.3 Description of key functions
Key Symbol Function
RAISE
In manual mode the motor-drive unit can be operated directly
using the RAISE key.
Using RAISE, the motor-drive unit changes the on-load tap-
changer and therefore the step voltage.
LOWER
In manual mode the motor-drive unit can be operated directly
using the LOWER key.
Using LOWER, the motor-drive unit changes the on-load tap-
changer and therefore the step voltage.
REMOTE
In the "Remote" operating mode, commands from an external
control interface are executed. In this mode, manual operation
of the RAISE, LOWER, MANUAL and AUTO keys is disabled.
MANUAL
Manual mode. For manual control of the motor-drive unit and
parameterization of the voltage regulator.
AUTO
Auto mode. Voltage is controlled automatically.
Arrow keys
NEXT/ PREV
In auto and manual mode, the measured value display can be
set using the arrow keys.
They can also be used to switch between windows in the
submenus.
ENTER
Confirms or saves a changed parameter in the parameter
menu.
ESC
Pressing the ESC key takes you to the menu level above, in
other words, always back one menu level.
MENU
Pressing this key displays the menu selection window.
F1-F5
The function keys are menu selection keys. They are also
used to scroll through the menu subgroups and input screens
and to highlight decimal points which can be set by the user.
The parameters can only be changed in manual mode, see key in the
table above.

4 Functions and settings
This chapter gives a short summary of all the functions and possible settings
of the voltage regulator. For details, see the voltage regulator operating
instructions.
4.1 Key lock
The voltage regulator is equipped with a key lock for protection against unin-
tentional operation. Parameters can only be carried out in manual mode (MA-
NUAL) with deactivated key lock.
4.2 Activating key lock
To activate the key lock, proceed as follows:
►Press and at the same time.
A confirmation (see diagram) appears on screen
for a short period. The key lock is activated. Pa-
rameters can no longer be entered.

4.3 Setting the language
The required display language can be set or changed in any way. The follow-
ing languages are available:
English
German
French
Spanish
Italian
Portuguese

4.4 NORMset
Instead of parameterizing the voltage regulator manually, NORMset mode
enables easy and user-friendly commissioning of the voltage regulator with a
limited set of parameters. When this mode is selected, the factory settings re-
quired for voltage regulation are adopted.
If NORMset is activated, the bandwidth and delay time settings will be un-
dertaken automatically by the voltage regulator.
The following control parameters must be set in NORMset mode:
Desired value 1
Primary voltage
Secondary voltage
The following parameters are not set automatically using the NORMset
mode:
Undervoltage limit
Overvoltage limit
Undercurrent limit
Overcurrent limit
If required, these parameters must be set manually.
1. > Normset.
<00> Normset activation.
2. To activate Normset, press or to
select "On".
3. Press .
4. Press or to perform a
manual tap-change operation.
The LED for the NORMset operating display lights
up. The Normset mode is activated.

4.4.1 Entering NORMset desired value 1
Desired values set in kV apply to the primary voltage of the connected voltage
transformer. Desired values set in kV apply to the secondary voltage of the
connected voltage transformer. All transformer data (see "Transformer da-
ta" on page 31) must be entered correctly.
Settings in kV are only possible if you have previously entered the parame-
ters for primary and secondary voltage.

2. Press to highlight a digit position.
The digit position you want is highlighted
and the value can be changed.
3. Press to increase the value or to
reduce it.
4. Press .
Desired value 1 is set.

4.4.2 Setting the primary voltage
In general, the regulator only indicates the secondary voltage in V if you have
not set the primary voltage. The primary voltage is only displayed if parameter
"Display V / kV" has been set to kV (see "Setting the voltage display
kV/V" on page 40).
Example:
Primary voltage Secondary voltage kV or V Display
No parameterization 100 V V 100 V
110 kV 100 V kV 110 kV
