1. General
This part of the manual describes the general functions of the
combined overcurrent and earth-fault relay VAMP 130 and
includes the relay operation instructions. It also includes
instructions on parameterisation and configuration of the relay
and instructions on changing of settings.
The second part of the publication includes detailed protection
function descriptions as well as application examples and
technical data sheets.
The Mounting and Operation Instructions are published in a
separate publication, code named VMMC.EN0xx.

1.1. Relay features
The combined overcurrent and earth-fault relay VAMP 130 is a
non-directional current measuring protection relay for over-
current, short-circuit and earth-fault protection. It features the
following protection functions:
•Three overcurrent stages
•Two earth-fault stages
•One sensitive earth-fault stage
•Current unbalance stage
•Thermal overload stage
•Circuit breaker failure protection
Further the relay includes a disturbance recorder.
1.2. Operating safety
The terminals on the rear panel of the relay may
carry dangerous voltages, although the auxiliary
voltage is switched off. A live current transformer
secondary circuit must not be opened.
Disconnecting a live circuit may cause dangerous
voltages! Any operational measure must be carried
out according to national and local handling
directives and instructions.
Carefully read through the relay operation instructions before
any relay operational measures are carried out.

2. User interface
2.1. General
The VAMP 130 relay can be controlled in two ways:
•Locally with the push-buttons on the relay front panel
•Locally with a PC connected to the serial port on the relay
front panel
2.2. Local panel
Figure 2.2-1 below shows the location of the components of the
local user interface on the front panel of the relay.

2.2.1. Display
The VAMP 130 relay is provided with a clear 10 character
alphanumerical LED display, which normally shows a scrolling
text.
Use the SERVICE/Setup/Bright menu to set the brightness of
the display. The display is dimmed after a preset time.
Use the SERVICE/Setup/ScrolDelay menu to set the scrolling
speed of the display text.
2.2.2. Key pad
Use the key pad and the display to navigate through the menus
and to set the required parameters. The keypad comprises the
following keys:
LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN and the ENTER key.

3. Local panel operations
The local panel can be used to read measured values, set
parameters and configure relay functions. However, please note
that some of the parameters can only be set by means of a PC
connected to the local communication port. Further, some
parameters are factory set.
3.1. Navigation in the menus
All setting, resetting, etc. functions are carried out via menu
functions, see Figure 3.1-1:
1. Use UP and DOWN arrow keys to move up and down in the
main menu. The active menu is the one seen in the display.
The menu names are shown with their full length or
abbreviated, e.g. IL STATUS = status display for the
different current stages.
2. Use the RIGHT key to move to the function level of the
required menu, e.g. I> Stat.
Use the LEFT key to cancel the selection.
3. Use the RIGHT key to move to the parameter level of the
selected function, e.g. SCntr.
Use the UP and DOWN keys to scroll through the other
parameters on the same function level.
4. Confirm the selection of setting state of the requested
parameter by pushing ENTER and by entering the password
corresponding to the setting level.
5. Push LEFT for at least 2 s to exit from the setting state of a
parameter without changing the setting value or,
6. Push ENTER to confirm and store the parameter setting.

3.2. Operating levels
The relay features three operating levels, i.e. the User, the
Operator and the Configuration level. The purpose of the
operating levels is to prevent accidental change of relay
configurations, parameterizations or settings.
USER level
Use: Parameter values can be read
Opening: Level permanently open
Closing: Closing not possible
OPERATOR level
Use: Settings of protection stages can be changed.
Opening: The default password is 0001.
Setting state: On entering the parameter setting state a
password must be given, see 3.2.1.
Closing: The level is automatically closed when 10
minutes has elapsed since a key was pushed or
a setting was done via the local port. The level
can also be closed by giving the password
9999.
