  for the latest product information.

Due to RMS continuous product improvement policy this information is subject to change without notice. 1S25/Issue F/07/03/2011 - 9/9

ALARM TEXT LABELS

The 1S25 front panel has provision for custom text to identify the

sensor location for each arc fault tripping zone. The required text

may be engraved on the front panel by the factory if specified at

time  of  order.  Alternatively  the  front  panel  may  be  removed  for

engraving by the user or contractor. The RMS web site provides

an ACAD file for this purpose.
The  front  panel  is  fabricated  from  flexible  plastic  sheet  with  a

white  surface  &  black  substrate  to  provide  high  contrast  black

text when engraved.
Removal of the front label is achieved by drawing out the 1S25

module from the outer case & pulling the label from the edges at

the mid point between the top & bottom draw out handles. This

will cause the label to bend & disengage from the top & bottom

handle  retention  points.  Once  free  from  the 1S25  module  the

front label can be placed on an engraving table. Additional factory

engraved  labels may  be  sourced  from  RMS  for  later  field

installation.
While  an  engraved  label  provides  the  most  permanent  record

other  methods  such  as  laser  printed  stick  on  labels  or  indelible

marker pen may be satisfactorily employed.

CUSTOM ENGRAVED TEXT DEFINITION

Complete the following tables with one character per box. Refer

to the front panel layout depicted in figure 10. Submit completed

labeling  information  with the 1S25  product  ordering  code. For

maximum  font  size limit text for each alarm point to 1 line x 10

characters.
Text will be left justified.

Ordering Information

ORDER CODE

The order code determines the production build in the factory &

cannot be changed in the field.

CONFIGURATION CODE

(Optional specification)

The configuration code can be set in the field by withdrawing the

relay module & following the instructions on the side plate label.
The configuration code may be specified at time of order so that

the  relay  will  be  shipped  from  the  factory  pre-set  to  meet

customer requirements.  e.g. CONFIG-0101-0101-1111
If a configuration code is not specified the factory default will be

set as indicated below.  i.e. CONFIG-1111-1111-1111
