The 489 may be placed in several simulation modes. This simulation may be useful for several purposes. First, it may be
used to under-stand the operation of the 489 for learning or training purposes. Second, simulation may be used during star-
tup to verify that control circuitry operates as it should in the event of a trip or alarm. In addition, simulation may be used to
verify that setpoints had been set properly in the event of fault conditions.

If the 489 is to be used for training, it might be desirable to allow all parameter averages, statistical information, and event
recording to update when operating in simulation mode. If however, the 489 has been installed and will remain installed on
a specific generator, it might be desirable assign a digital input to Test Input and to short that input to prevent all of this data
from being corrupted or updated. In any event, when in simulation mode, the 489 In Service LED (indicator) will flash, indi-
cating that the 489 is not in protection mode.
