7SR11 & 7SR12 Description Of Operation Section 2: Hardware Description General The structure of the relay is based upon the Reyrolle Compact hardware platform. The relays are supplied in a size E4 case (where 1 x E = width of approx. 26mm). The hardware design provides commonality between products and components across the Reyrolle Compact range of relays.
The rear terminal blocks comprise M4 female terminals for wire connections. Each terminal can accept two 4mm crimps. Figure 1-12 7SR11 Rear view of 7SR11 Relay Located at the top rear of the case is a screw clamp earthing point, this must be connected to terminal 28 and directly to the main panel earth.
7SR11 & 7SR12 Description Of Operation Figure 1-14 Relay with standard transparent cover If access is required to view the menus without removing the cover, an alternative transparent cover with push ▼ TEST/RESET► buttons may be ordered. With the cover in place the user will only has access to the buttons, allowing all areas of the menu system to be viewed, but preventing setting changes and control actions.
7SR11 & 7SR12 Description Of Operation Operator Interface/ Fascia The operator interface is designed to provide a user-friendly method of controlling, entering settings and retrieving data from the relay. Figure 1-16 Relay with Transparent cover removed The fascia is an integral part of the relay. Handles are located at each side of the relay which allow it to be withdrawn from the relay case.
7SR11 & 7SR12 Description Of Operation For safety reasons the following symbols are displayed on the fascia Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) A 4 line by 20-character alpha-numeric liquid crystal display indicates settings, instrumentation, fault data and control commands. To conserve power the display backlighting is extinguished when no buttons are pressed for a user defined period.

7SR11 & 7SR12 Description Of Operation LCD Indication General Alarms are user defined text messages displayed on the LCD when mapped to binary or virtual inputs. Up to six general alarms of 16 characters can be programmed, each triggered from one or more input. Each general alarm will also generate an event.
7SR11 & 7SR12 Description Of Operation Figure 1-19 LED Indication Label Current Inputs Either one or four current inputs are provided on the Analogue Input module. Terminals are available for both 1A and 5A inputs.

7SR11 & 7SR12 Description Of Operation Each input may be logically inverted to facilitate integration of the relay within the user scheme. When inverted the relay indicates that the BI is energised when no voltage is applied. Inversion occurs before the PU & DO time delay, see fig.
7SR11 & 7SR12 Description Of Operation Notes on Self Reset Outputs Self reset operation has a minimum reset time of 100ms With a failed breaker condition the relay may remain operated until current flow is interrupted by an upstream device. When the current is removed the relay will then reset and attempt to interrupt trip coil current flowing via its output contact.
7SR11 & 7SR12 Description Of Operation 2.11 Self Monitoring The relay incorporates a number of self-monitoring features. Each of these features can initiate a controlled reset recovery sequence. Supervision includes a power supply watchdog, code execution watchdog, memory checks by checksum and processor/ADC health checks.
