The unit is designed for panel mounting. Ensure the mounting surface is stable and provides adequate ventilation. Refer to the specific mounting dimensions provided in the product documentation for precise installation.

3.3 Wiring

Connect the power supply (24-250V), current transformers (CTs), voltage transformers (VTs), and control circuits according to the wiring diagrams specific to your application. Pay close attention to polarity and phase sequencing. All connections must be tight and secure to prevent loose contacts and potential hazards.

• Power Supply: Connect the 24-250V AC/DC auxiliary power.
• Current Inputs: Connect CT secondary circuits to the designated terminals.
• Voltage Inputs: Connect VT secondary circuits to the designated terminals.
• Digital Inputs/Outputs: Connect control and signaling circuits as required.
• Communication Ports: Connect Ethernet cables for TCP/IP communication or other cables for Logipam as per system design.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Powering On

Once all connections are verified, apply auxiliary power to the unit. The HMI display will illuminate, and the unit will perform a self-test. Wait for the unit to complete its startup sequence before proceeding.

4.2 HMI Navigation

The Human Machine Interface (HMI) allows for local configuration, monitoring, and control. Use the navigation buttons (up, down, left, right, enter) to browse through menus, view measurements, check event logs, and adjust settings. Consult the detailed HMI guide for specific menu structures and parameter definitions.

4.3 Basic Operation

After startup, the unit will begin monitoring the electrical network. Protection functions will be active based on the configured settings. You can view real-time measurements (currents, voltages, power, frequency) and status indicators on the HMI. Event logs record all significant occurrences, including trips and alarms.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your Sepam Series 80 S80 unit.

5.1 Routine Checks

• Periodically inspect the unit for any visible damage, loose connections, or signs of overheating.
• Ensure ventilation openings are clear of dust and debris.
• Check the HMI display for any error messages or abnormal indications.
• Verify that all protection functions are active and correctly configured.

5.2 Cleaning

Clean the exterior of the unit with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure no moisture enters the unit.
