1 General
This part of the manual describes the general functions of the
over-, under-, residual voltage and frequency relay VAMP 13
and includes the relay operation instructions. It also includes
instructions on parameterization 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 Commissioning Instructions are published
in a separate publication, with the code VMMC.EN0xx.
1 1 Relay features
The over-, under-, residual voltage and frequency relay VAMP
13 is ideal for power plant, utility and industrial applications.
It features the following protection functions:
• Three overvoltage stages
• Three undervoltage stages
• Two residual overvoltage stages
• Two overfrequency stages
• Two underfrequency stages
• Circuit breaker failure protection
The VAMP 13 relay can be connected to the system to be
protected using three alternative modes, which are selected
during commissioning. The following modes can be selected:
Line, Line+U
0
and Phase. For more detailed information, see
Chapter 2.2 in this manual and Chapter . in the Technical
description part of this manual.
The VAMP 13 relay is equipped with a voltage measuring
transducer. The output signal of the transducer can be wired to
an external meter or a local automation system. Further VAMP
13 includes a disturbance recorder.
The relay communicates with other systems using common
protocols, such as the Modbus RTU, Profibus DP, Modbus/TCP,
IEC-103 and it can be connected to the fibre-optic SPA bus.

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.

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 13 relay can be controlled in three 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
• Via the remote control port on the relay rear 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 13 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:
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. U STATUS = status display for the
different voltage stages.
2. Use the RIGHT key to move to the function level of the
required menu, e.g. U> 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.
. 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.
