Appendix E – Layup and Storage
E–1
Appendix E includes the recommended storage
parameters, periodic surveillance activities and layup
configuration for the M-3520 Intertie Protection
Relay.
Storage Requirements (Environment)
The recommended storage environment parameters
for the M-3520 are:
•
The ambient temperature where the
M-3520 is stored is within a range of 5° C
to 40° C
•
The maximum relative humidity is less
than or equal to 80% for temperatures up
to 31° C, decreasing to 31° C linearly to
50% for relative humidity at 40° C.
•
The storage area environment is free of
dust, corrosive gases, flammable
materials, dew, percolating water, rain and
solar radiation.
Storage Requirements (Periodic Surveillance
During Storage)
The M-3520 power supply contains electrolytic
capacitors. It is recommended that power be applied
to the relay (PS1 and optional PS2 redundant power
supply when installed) every three to five years for
a period of not less than one hour to help prevent
the electrolytic capacitors from drying out.
Layup Configuration
The M-3520 includes a removable lithium battery
backed TIMEKEEPER
®
module (Beckwith Electric
component U25, Figure 5-7). The TIMEKEEPER
module is the M-3520 real-time clock and also
provides power to the unit’s nonvolatile memory
when power is not applied to the unit.

Appendix – Layup and Storage
Layup of the M-3520 requires verifying that the
system clock is stopped. The steps necessary to
verify system clock status are as follows:
▲
▲
▲
▲
▲
CAUTION:
Do not use the diagnostic mode in
relays that are installed in an active protection
scheme.
For units
with the optional HMI panel
:
1.
Verify that the Power Supply (PS) fuses
are installed.
2.
Determine the unit power supply rating
by observing the check box below the
PS terminals on the rear of the unit.
3.
Apply power to the unit consistant with
the rating determined in Step 2 (see
Section 5.3 , External Connections). The
unit will enter the selftest mode.
4.
When the selftests are complete, then
press
ENTER
to begin main menu.
5.
Press the right arrow pushbutton until
SETUP UNIT
is displayed.
6.
Press
ENTER
to access the
SETUP
UNIT
menu.
7.
Press the right arrow pushbutton until
DIAGNOSTIC MODE
is displayed.
8.
Press
ENTER
. A reset warning will be
displayed:
PROCESSOR WILL RESET!
ENTER KEY TO CONTINUE
WARNING: All relay functions and protection
will be inoperative while the relay is in diagnostic
mode.
9.
Press
ENTER
. Unit will now reset and
DIAGNOSTIC MODE
will be temporarily
displayed, followed by
OUTPUT TEST
(RELAY). This is the beginning of the
diagnostic menu.
