Control Units
Fault Indicator (F)
In addition to the mechanical fault indicator, this indicator differentiates the three causes of tripping:
overload, short circuit or ground fault, if any. Three light-emitting diodes indicate separately long-
time, short-time/ instantaneous and ground-fault trip. A flat push button allows resetting of the
indicator after tripping. A separate power supply is required to maintain the indication after tripping
of the circuit breaker. Two different possibilities are offered:
n Connecting a reliable 24 Vdc control voltage on F1-F2. Auxiliary power module (AD) is used for
other voltages. When the control source is considered as unreliable, a battery pack (BAT) is to
be added to an AD power module.
n From a built-in battery module. When no external control source is available, a built-in battery
module may be ordered (option PIL). This module integrates battery testing and indicator
reactivating buttons.

Alarm Indicator Pre-trip Alarm Switch (ALR)
Delivered as standard with control unit. The alarm indicator is a fixed, front face light-emitting diode
which operates as follows:
n Fixed when the current exceeds 90% of the current setting.
n Flashing on overload: according to time-current curves, 105% to 120% of current setting.
The pre-trip alarm switch is a static contact which closes when in the overload zone, up to the
tripping of the circuit breaker. This contact can be used for ultimate load shedding, alarm before
tripping, etc.
