1. General
This part of the manual describes the general functions of the
motor protection relay VAMP 150 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 ell 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 motor protection relay VAMP 150 is a non-directional
current measuring protection relay for internal short-circuit,
internal earth-fault, unbalance, single phasing, overload and
too frequent starting protection. It features the follo ing
protection functions.
• Thermal overload stage
• Three overcurrent stages
• T o earth-fault stages
• One undercurrent stage
• Phase unbalance stage
• Current unbalance stage
• Frequent starts supervision
• Start-up supervision and stall protection
• Circuit breaker failure protection
Further the relay includes a disturbance recorder and is
optionally available ith an arc supervision unit. It is also
equipped ith a current measuring transducer, the output
signal of hich can be ired to an external meter or a SCADA
system.
The relay communicates ith other systems using common
protocols, such as the ModBus RTU, ModBus TCP, Profibus
DP, IEC 60870-5-103 and it can be connected to the fibre-optic
SPA bus.

3. Communication via local
panel
The local panel can be used to read measured values, set
parameters and configure relay functions. Ho ever, 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 arro keys to move up and do n in the
main menu. The active menu is the one seen in the display.
The menu names are sho n ith 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
pass ord corresponding to the setting level.
5. Push LEFT for at least 2 s to exit from the setting state of a
parameter ithout changing the setting value or,
6. Push ENTER to confirm and store the parameter setting.

3.3. 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 prot
ection stages, for example, can
be changed.
Opening: The default pass ord is 0001.
Setting state: On entering the parameter setting state the
relay asks for a pass ord "GIVE Operator
pass ord", then push the key and enter the
pass ord. Then push the key again.
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 pass ord
9999.

CONFIGURATION level
Use: The configuration level is needed during the
commissioning of the relay. The turns ratios
of the current transformers, for example, can
be set.
Opening: The default pass ord is 0002
Configure state: On entering the configuration state the relay
asks for a pass ord "GIVE Operator pass-
ord", then push the key and enter the
pass ord. Then push the key again.
Closing: The level is automatically closed 10 minutes
after a key being pushed last or a setting be-
ing performed via the local port. Closing can
also be performed by giving the pass ord
9999.
3.3.1. Opening operating levels
1. Move to the item to be changed, e.g. IL SETTING/I>Set/ I>:
1.20 pu. Push the ENTER key t ice on the front panel.

Figure 3.3.1-1 Opening an operating level
2. Enter the pass ord needed for the desired level: The
pass ord 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.
3.3.2. Changing of passwords
The set pass ord can only be changed locally using a PC
connected to the local RS 232 port on the relay. The change is
allo ed/prohibited ith the parameter
ChgP d = 0/1 in the SERVICE/Setup menu.

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 soft are, a PC
running suitable terminal soft are or a remote control system.
4.1. Operation via the local MMI
4.1.1. Measured data
The measured values can be read from the MEASURES menu
and its submenus sho n in the figure belo .
