time, by pushing the "PUSH to RESET" button . 

(See  Figure

4.4  Short Delay Current Setting 

There are eight (8) available Short Delay Current Set­

tings,  as illustrated in  Fig. 4.3.  Six settings are in the 
range from 2 to 6 times 1, and the other two settings are 
"S1" or "S2" times 1,. (REMEMBER: 

I, 

is the Long Delay 

Current  Setting).  The  values that "S1" and "S2" have 

depend upon the type of circuit breaker, and are specified 

both on the rating plug label (see Fig.  6), and on the 
applicable Time-Current Curves referenced in 
Section 9.0. 

4.5 Short Delay Time Setting 

As illustrated in  Fig.  4.4, there are two different Short 

Delay curve shapes,  i.e., fixed time (flat) or  12t response. 
The  shape selected depends on the  type of selective 
coordination chosen. The  12t response will provide a 

longer time delay in the low-end of the short delay current 
range than will the flat response.

that appears in the viewing window.  The 12t response is 
applicable to currents less than eight (8) times 1,, the

the 12t response reverts to the flat response.

4.6 Instantaneous Current Setting 

There are eight (8) available Instantaneous Current Set­

tings,  as illustrated in Fig. 4.5.  Six settings are in the 
range from 2 to 6 times (In) the rating plug value, and the

other two settings are "M1" or "M2" times (In)·  The values 
that "M1" and "M2" have depend upon the type of circuit 
breaker, and are specified both on the rating plug label
