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.

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.

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, for example, can be read
Opening: Level permanently open
Closing: Closing not possible
OPERATOR level
Use:
Settings of protection stages, for example, can be
changed.
Opening: The default password is 1.
Setting state: On entering the parameter setting state a
password must be given, see 3.2.1
Closing: The level is automatically closed 10 minutes
after a key being pushed last or a setting being
performed via the local port. Closing can also be
performed by giving the password 9999.

CONFIGURATOR level
Use: The configuration level is needed during the
commissioning of the relay. The turns ratios of
the voltage transformers, for example, can be
set.
Opening: The default password is 2
Setting state: On entering the parameter setting state a
password must be given, see 3.2.1
Closing: The level is automatically closed 10 minutes
after a key being pushed last or a setting being
performed via the local port. Closing can also be
performed by giving the password 9999.
3 2 1 Opening operating levels
1. Move to the item to be changed, e.g. U SETTING/U>Set/
U>: 120%Un. Push the ENTER key twice on the front
panel.

Figure 3.2.1-1. Opening an operating level
2. Enter the password needed for the desired level: The
password may contain four digits. The digits are supplied
one by one by first moving to the position of the digit using
the RIGHT key and then setting the desired digit value
using the UP key.
3. Push ENTER.
3 2 2 Changing of passwords
The set password can only be changed locally using a PC
connected to the local RS 232 port on the relay.

4 Operating measures
General
Carefully study the operating instructions in Chapters 1
through 3 of this manual before any operating measures are
taken or before any relay settings or functions are changed.
The relay can be controlled by means of the MMI on the relay
front panel, a PC running the VAMPSET software, a PC
running suitable terminal software or a remote control system.
4 1 Measured data
The measured values can be read from the main menu
MEASURES and its submenus shown in the figure below.

Connected or Latched.
Resetting latched indicators and output relays
All indicators and output relays can be given a latching
function in the configuration.
There are two ways to reset latched indicators and relays:
1. Move to the initial display, from the alarm list, by pushing
the CANCEL key for approx. 3 s. Then reset the latched
indicators and output relays by pushing the ENTER key.
2. Acknowledge each event in the alarm list one by one, by
pushing ENTER the equivalent times. Then, in the initial
display, reset the latched indicators and output relays by
pushing the ENTER key.
The latchings can also be reset via the communications bus or
via a DI input configured for that purpose.
