Frequency The network frequency (50 Hz or

60 Hz) is a parameter that must be
known for operation of the VIP40
and VIP45 signal processing algo-
rithms.
They therefore have an automatic
frequency recognition system.
The recognized value
(50 Hz or 60 Hz) is stored and the
VIP works permanently with this
value.
This stored value will be used each
time the VIP starts
For the VIP to recognize the net-
work frequency and store it, it has
to detect a current on phase 1 for
a minimum period of 5 seconds in
the range 50 Hz +/-- 2 Hz or 60
Hz +/-- 2 Hz.
This detection happens when
the VIP starts.

The Flair devices have an output

FLAIR 21D
Flair 22D/23DV can be connected
to a voltage presence indicating
system (VPIS) provided with a vol-
tage output (VPIS---VO). In this
case, for greater reliability, fault
detection is confirmed by voltage
absence without taking into
account the current.

For each phase, an indication of the maximum load currents since the
last reset is displayed.
Example

Settings The Flair devices (>2010) are a fault passage indicator without settings
(automatic mode).
However, it is possible to perform specific override settings.
In manual mode, settings are made :

H by micro---switches (drawing opposite).(Flair 21D) The changes are
taken into account after a press on the Test/Reset button.
In AUTO mode I>; I0>, the manual settings are not active.

Settings mode (Flair 22D
and Flair 23DV)
During the Test mode, a press on the button provides access to
Settings mode (display ).
1) A press on the button displays the first parameter to be set
2) Several presses on the button scroll the parameters in a loop.
At this stage, with no actuation of or during 10 s,
the indicator returns to ammeter mode.
3) Press the button to display the current value of the
selected parameter
4) Press the button again to activate setting of this value:
the display flashes for 5 s
5) During flashing, press successively to display the desired value
6) Confirm by pressing the button; without confirmation within a
period of 15 s, return to display of the parameters without change
in the value.
Each press on the Esc (Return) button takes you back to the preceding
