Commissioning

Energizing
The Sepam supply voltage must be between 24 V DC and 250 V DC. After Sepam is switched on, it performs the
following initialization sequence, which takes approximately 5 seconds:

ON and LEDs switch on, “Sepam” on screen

LED switches off
watchdog contact picks up

The first screen displayed at the end of the sequence is the phase current metering screen.

Diagnosis

At the end of the initialization sequence, the LED should be off.

LED flashing: minor fault detected, Sepam in downgraded operation

check the connection of the MET148-2, MSA141 and MCS025 modules.

LED steadily on: major fault detected, Sepam in failsafe position

check that the CCA630, CCA634 or CCA671 input connectors are plugged in
check the connection of the strap between terminals 19 and 20 of connector (DPC, detection of plugged
connector function).

If the LED is still not off, refer to the “Maintenance” chapter of the operating manual.
If the “LOW BATTERY” message appears, check that the battery is present and in the correct position
(check that polarities match).

Parameter setting with SFT2841

The SFT2841 parameter setting and the operating tool is essential to:

prepare Sepam parameters

to prepare protection and control function settings.
transfer the parameters and settings into Sepam.
 Passwords
