The pick-up activation of the function is not directly equal to the START signal generation of the
function. The START signal is allowed if the blocking condition is not active.
Comparator modes
When setting the comparators, the user must first choose a comparator mode.

The pick-up level is set individually for each comparison. When setting up the pick-up level, the user
needs to take into account the modes in use as well as the desired action. The pick-up limit can be
set either as positive or as negative. Each pick-up level has a separate hysteresis setting which is 3 %
by default.
The user can set the operating and releasing time delays for each stage.
Function blocking
The block signal is checked in the beginning of each program cycle. The blocking signal is received
from the blocking matrix in the function's dedicated input. If the blocking signal is not activated when
the pick-up element activates, a START signal is generated and the function proceeds to the time
characteristics calculation.
If the blocking signal is active when the pick-up element activates, a BLOCKED signal is generated and
the function does not process the situation further. If the START function has been activated before the
blocking signal, it resets and the release time characteristics are processed similarly to when the pick-
up signal is reset.
The blocking of the function causes an HMI display event and a time-stamped blocking event with
information of the startup values of the selected signal and its fault type to be issued.
The blocking signal can also be tested in the commissioning phase by a software switch signal when
the relay's testing mode "Enable stage forcing" is activated (
