Battery Function

Pressing the

BATTERY

key on the face of the Trip Unit

powers the unit from its internal battery. Battery power is
maintained for 30 seconds after the last key is pressed.
This self-powered mode allows setting up the Trip Unit or
viewing trip targets when the breaker is de-energized and
external control power is unavailable. All normal setup,
meter, and status functions can be performed with battery
power.

The battery is intended to power the Trip Unit when it is
otherwise unpowered. At low line currents (less than 20%
of the sensor rating) the Trip Unit display is not active.
Pressing the

BATTERY

key under these conditions will not

power the Trip Unit.

Note that at temperatures above 40° C, the

BATTERY

key

may have to be held down for up to 5 seconds for the Trip
Unit to be powered.
