By using the LCD, you can view or edit a configuration parameter and view the following:
•Real-time state of a relay such as BI, ETI, and BO
•Battery profile
•Auxiliary power status
•Primary current and nominal current values of each phase and earth
•General alarms
The LCD displays the stored fault information to the operator. When any fault condition occurs, the relay
displays the latest fault information on the LCD.
General alarms are user-defined text messages displayed on the LCD when mapped to binary inputs or
external trip input. Up to 3 general alarms can be programmed, each triggered from 1 or more inputs. Each
general alarm also generates an event.
If the 7SR46 Argus relay is powered with phase CT input and the current is more than 1.6 ⋅ Ismin (3-phase),
then backlight turns on automatically. If the 7SR46 Argus relay is de-energized than the defined limits, then
the backlight does not turn on.
If the 7SR46 Argus relay is powered on by inserting a USB cable, then backlight turns on automatically. The
backlight can be turned off manually by pressing the backlight key. If you do not perform any activity in the
device HMI for more than 30 s, then the backlight turns off automatically to save energy.
In the phase CT power mode, the 7SR46 Argus relay periodically monitors whether sufficient current is avail-
able to turn on the backlight.
In the USB or battery power mode, if the backlight is already turned on and if the phase CT input is provided,
then the backlight turns off due to the switching of the power mode from USB or battery to CT power. If suffi-
cient current is available, then the backlight can be turned on again.
For more information about the power source, refer to the chapter Modes of Operation in 7SR46 Operating
Manual.
Keypad
The 7SR46 Argus relay consists of 5 standard keys for navigation and for editing the values. The standard keys
are used to navigate the menu structure and configure the relay functions.
2 more keys are available for LCD backlight and battery mode.
The standard keys are used for the following functions:
•To display and edit the relay settings
•To display the relay instrumentation and fault data
•To reset the relays output and LEDs
Keys Description
This push-button is used to navigate the menu structure or to increase the
parameter value in the edit mode.
This push-button is used to navigate the menu structure or to decrease the
parameter value in the edit mode.
This push-button is used to reset the fault indication on the fascia. This TEST/
RESET push-button is also used for selecting the menu or selecting parameter
values in the edit mode. By using this push-button, you can acknowledge/
reset the LEDs, binary output, and trip flag indication.
This push-button is used for selecting the parameter or confirming the values.
The ENTER push-button is used to initiate and accept the setting changes.
Press ENTER to edit the parameter setting. The setting value flashes and can
be changed by using the ▲ or ▼ keys.
