Therefore, in order to set and to displayinformation on any electronic accessories connected to the terminal box, these must bepowered by an Ekip Supply module (see page 177).It draws its power from a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery delivered with the unit. It is connected directlyto the front test connector of the trip unit, and allows a trip unit without auxiliary voltage to be powered.It is switched on by pressing the power button on the side, and is equipped with two LEDs:• The first LED in green when the device is on and the battery charged, red with the device turned on andlow battery.• The second LED flashing blue with active Bluetooth communication.NOTE: the red flashing LED indicates that the battery is completely drained, an error condition,or malfunction of the module.The battery charging is performed by connecting the module to the USB ports of a PC with the suppliedcable. Connection to a PC automatically switches the module on, and charging in progress is indicated bythe flashing green LED, with increasing frequency as the level of charging rises. Completion of charging isindicated by the green LED on (fixed).NOTE: during recharging, the module must be kept energized.Further information on Ekip Bluetooth is available on the website http://www.abb.com/abblibrary/DownloadCenter/, in particular in the kit sheet 1SDH001000r0518, and in the Ekip Connect software manual1SDH000891r0002.
