Sepam 100 is a group of modules that may description

be used:
■ individually to perform a function,
■ in combination with Sepam 1000
or 2000.
Each module has been designed to perform
a complete function. It includes all the
elements required, such as:
■ tripping output relays,
■ annunciation,
■ connections.
applications
Sepam 100 RT
Specially designed for transformer
protection applications, offering a
combination of DGPT2 or Buchholz plus
thermostat information.
advantages
Simple to use:
■ three "tripping" inputs,
■ two "alarm" inputs with the possibility of
individual "tripping" input parameter setting,
■ electrically latched inputs,
■ a "tripping" output with high breaking
capacity linked with two other outputs:
"inhibit closing" and "annunciation",
■ two "alarm signal" outputs linked with the
Sepam 100 RT. two "alarm" inputs,
■ local or remote acknowledgment,
■ integrated "lamp test".
on
Clear information
■ display of "tripping" input and output

in2
in3 Dependable operation
■ high level of immunity to electromagnetic
in4
disturbances: Sepam 100 RT is designed
in5
to operate safely in the highly disturbed
electromagnetic environments of HT
out
substations.
The front of Sepam 100 RT includes:
■ 7 indicator lamps:
■ device "on" indicator,
■ "In3" to "In5" indicators: electrically
latched indicators which store the activated
status of each of the 3 'tripping" inputs,
■ "In1" and "In2" indicators: electrically
latched indicators which store the activated
status of the 2 "alarm" inputs and indicate
the status of the "alarm 1" and "alarm 2"
output relays,
■ "out" indicators: latching indicator which
shows switching of the "tripping" output
relay.
■ a "reset" pushbutton: for acknowledgment
of the relay outputs and associated display
when the inputs return to their normal
position.
While activated, this pushbutton may be
used for a lamp test of the indicators on the
front of the device .
The back of Sepam 100 RT includes:
■ input/output connectors:
■ a 21-pin connector for the "alarm" inputs
and outputs,
■ an 8-pin connector for the "tripping"
output and for the power supply,
■ a 4-pin connector for the "power ON"
output.
Sepam 100 RT has:
■ 5 common-point logic inputs, named "In1"
to "In5" ,
■ an isolated remote "reset" input,
■ a 3-contact "tripping" output relay (2
normally open contacts and 1 normally
closed contact),
■ 2 "alarm" relays (changeover contacts),
■ a "power ON" relay (1 normally open
contact and 1 normally closed contact).
Sepam 100 RT operates in 3 ranges of
supply voltage (please specify when
ordering):
■ 24-30 V DC ±20%,
■ 48-125 V DC ±20%,
■ 220-250 V DC -20% +10%.

parameter setting Access to and identification of
microswitches SA-1 and SA-2.
The parameters of the 2 "alarm" inputs
made be set so as to make them "tripping"
inputs.
"Alarm" inputs In1 and In2 may be set
individually as "tripping" inputs. SA-2
The choice is made via two microswitches SA-1
that are accessible on the left-hand side of
Sepam 100 RT.
Access to the microswitches is closed off
by a removable plastic cover.
The plastic cover should be replaced after
the setting has been made. Parameter setting
