5.5  Adjustment of the fault recorder 

 
The MRN3 is equipped with a fault recorder (see chapter 3.7). Three parameters can be deter-
mined. 
 

5.5.1  Number of the fault recordings 

 
The max. recording time is 16 s at 50 Hz or 13.33 s at 60 Hz. 
The number of max. recordings requested has to be determined in advance. There is a choice of 
(1)* 2, (3)* 4 or (7)* 8 recordings and dependent on this the duration of the individual fault  
recordings is defined, i.e.  
 
(1)* 2 recordings for a duration of 8 s (with 50 Hz) (6.66 s with 60 Hz) 
(3)* 4 recordings for a duration of 4 s (with 50 Hz) (3.33 s with 60 Hz) 
(7)* 8 recordings for a duration of 2 s (with 50 Hz) (1,66 s with 60 Hz) 
* is written over when a new trigger signal arrives 
 

Caution: 

If the fault recorder is used, the frequency should be set to f = 50 Hz or f = 60 Hz (see chapter 
5.3.3). 
  

5.5.2  Adjustment of trigger occurrences 

 
There is a choice between four different occurrences: 
 
P_UP (Pickup)   

Storage is initiated after recognition of a general activation. 

TRIP   

 

Storage is initiated after a trip has occurred. 

A_PI (After Pickup) 

Storage is initiated after the last activation threshold was fallen short of.  

TEST   

 

Storing is activated by simultaneous actuation of the keys <+> and <->. 

 

 

 

During the recording time the display shows “Test”. 

 

5.5.3  Pre-trigger time (T

pre

 
By the time T

pre

 it is determined which period of time prior to the trigger occurrence should be 

stored as well. It is possible to adjust a time between 0.05s and the max. recording interval (2, 4 
and 8s). With keys <+> and <-> the values can be changed and with <ENTER> be saved. 
 

5.6  Adjustment of the clock 

 
When adjusting the date and time, LED  

Ÿ

 lights up. The adjustment method is as follows: 

 
Date 

 Year 

 Y=00 

  Month 

 M=00 

  Day 

 D=00 

 
Time 

 Hour 

 h=00 

  Minute 

 m=00 

  Second 

 s=00 

 
The clock starts with the set date and time as soon as the supply voltage is switched on.  
The time is safeguarded against short-term voltage failures (min. 6 minutes). 
 

Note: 

The window for parameter setting is located behind the measured value display. The parameter 
window can be accessed via the <SELECT/RESET> key.
