Safety Precautions
Before using this equipment, please read this chapter carefully.
This chapter describes the safety precautions recommended when using the GR equipment.
Before installing and using the equipment, this chapter must be thoroughly read and
understood.

Explanation of Symbols Used

Signal words such as DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION, will be followed by important
safety information that must be carefully reviewed.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which will result in
death or serious injury if you do not follow the instructions.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which could result in

death or serious injury if you do not follow the instructions.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which if not avoided,

may result in minor injury or moderate injury or property damage.

•Current Transformer Circuit

Never allow the current transformer (CT) secondary circuit connected to this equipment to be
opened while the primary system is live. Opening the CT circuit will produce a dangerously
high voltage.

•Exposed Terminals
Do not touch the terminals of this equipment while the power is on, as the high voltage
generated is dangerous.
•Residual Voltage
Hazardous voltage can be present in the DC circuit just after switching off the DC power
supply. It takes approximately 30 seconds for the voltage to discharge.
•Fibre Optic
CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT.

User Interface Manual

This manual is intended as a simplified user-manual aimed to equip a local engineer
with the basic information to use and operate the Toshiba relays. For a detailed
description of each function, please refer to the relevant instruction manuals for each
IED, which will take precedence over this document.

1) Relay Interface
Users can maintain the IED from the front panel. Monitoring is also possible locally by
using a PC connected through the USB cable. This section discusses the
configuration of the front panel and the basic configuration of the screen-menu
hierarchy of the Human Machine Interface (HMI).

(i) Front Panel

As shown in Figure 1-1, the front panel is provided with a screen (LCD Screen), 26
light emitting diodes (LEDs), 11 operation keys, seven function keys (in the later
section the function keys are referred as F1 to F7.), monitoring jacks and a USB
receptacle.

Figure 1-1 Front Panel

(ii) LCD Screen

The LCD screen provides the user with detailed internal information provided by the
IED such as records, monitoring and settings. Normally, the LCD screen appears
blank unless an operation key is not pressed, and by pressing any of the operation
keys, the LCD screen will display the top menu.

GR200 INTRODUCTION

 6F2S1925 (0.04)

If the top menu is shown on the LCD screen, user can turn off the screen backlight by
pressing the operation key ◄. When operation is idle for some time, the screen
backlight turns off. By pressing any key except the CLEAR key, the backlight turns on,
and the previous menu will be displayed on the LCD screen.
The LCD screen can be ordered as either a Standard LCD, or Large type LCD
suitable for mimic displays and full control functions.

STANDARD LCD LARGE LCD – MENU SCREEN LARGE LCD – MIMIC SCREEN

Figure 1-2 Various LCD Options

When a large LCD screen is selected, the user can toggle between the Menu Screen
and the Mimic Screen using the [MENU/MIMIC] button which is only available on
relays with a the large LCD screen.

(iii) Operation Keys

By using the operation keys, the user can display records, relay status etc. Input of
setting values is performed using these keys. The operation keys are tabulated in
Table 1-3.

(v) Monitoring Jacks

There are three monitoring jacks on the front panel; the three monitoring jacks have
LEDs, A, B, and C respectively. This function can be used if a user wishes to
undertake test work.

 The front panel of the relay has three test points, A, B & C.
 Each test point has an associated LED and can be accessed via a standard
1mm test plug.
 Any signal in the relay can be freely assigned to each test point, by assigning
the corresponding Data ID number via the relay Setting menu.
 When the signal is ‘live’ the LED lights and a voltage of ≈5V is applied to the
test point.

(vi) Function Keys

The IED provides seven function keys (F1 to F7) with the following two features:
 Skip to a specific screen directly, set by the user.
Used for skipping to a set page by pressing the function keys. Press again to
return to the previous page. Set by pressing the function key for 2 seconds on
the selected page.
 Operation of binary signals.
A convenient method that can be used for operating binary signals. Set by
assigning the signal in the settings menu.

The default configuration is set for ‘Skip to a specific screen’ as follows:

(vii) Communications Options

The relay comes with a wide range of communication options with the following ports:
- Front: 1 fixed USB serial port (besides LCD).
- Rear: up to 5 selectable communication ports.

Figure 1-8 Monitoring Point Connection

Access from a Local PC:

The user can connect the local PC with the GR-200 Series IED by connecting a USB
cable to the USB port at the lower part of the front panel of the relay.

Alternatively the user can connect the local PC with the GR-200 Series IED by
connecting a LAN (RJ45) cable to the Ethernet port at the back of the relay (if
available in the IED).

Figure 1-10 Ethernet Communications

The user can then communicate with the relay by setting the communications
option in GR-TIEMS. Select from Main menu: “Tool” ->“Option…”, “Option”
dialog will be displayed, allow user to change communications option of
GR-TIEMS application. With the second tab – ‘Communication’, the user can
select the communications method for connecting to the relay.

2) HMI Operation
By using the LCD screen, the operation keys and the function keys, the user can
access functions such as recording, monitoring, relay setting and testing.
Note: The operation of the LCD screen is more or less common in all IED models.
However, the contents of the LCD screens depend upon the IED model.

(i) Screen and LEDs during Normal HMI Operation

When the IED is operating normally, the green "IN SERVICE" LED is lit. Press any
key except the key CLEAR; and then the backlight of the LED screen is turned on 1.
If the IED detects a fault, the fault message will appear in a pop-up screen. At the
same time, the “TRIP”2 LED is lit.
1
Note: If another fault occurs during the period of time for which the previous fault
pop-up screen, is displayed, the previous fault information will be overwritten by the
new fault on the pop-up screen. Press the key CANCEL to remove the pop-up screen
for “Latest Fault” to return to the previous screen.

breaker (CB), isolator (optional), and others.
Time The "Time" sub-menu provides settings for calendar clock, time zone,
the source of time synchronization, the display format of the calendar
clock and settings of summer time (Daylight Saving Time).
Test The "Test" sub-menu is used to set and to test the following: a trip
circuit, forcible operation of binary outputs from the IED, time
measurement of variable timers, and observation of the binary signals
in logic circuits.
Information The "Information" sub-menu displays information about the IED such
as hardware, software, communication, etc.

 Screen Structure
The LCD screen is composed of a title area and a data area. The title area is
fixed on the top two lines. The first line displays the screen title. The second
line on the left-hand side displays local time, whereas the right-hand side
displays either the current line number, cursor position number and the
maximum page number, or the item number. For example, the display “4/6”
means the current cursor position, which is at the fourth item of a maximum of
six items.
