Put the Background Template on top of the custom display module (GE Multilin Part Number: 1513-0069) and snap theclear custom module cover (GE Multilin Part Number: 1502-0015) over it and the templates.4.3.4 DISPLAYAll messages are displayed on a backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) to make them visible under poor lighting conditions.While the keypad and display are not actively being used, the display defaults to user-defined messages. Any high-priorityevent-driven message automatically overrides the default message and appears on the display.4.3.5 KEYPADDisplay messages are organized into pages under the following headings: actual values, settings, commands, and targets.The MENU key navigates through these pages. Each heading page is divided further into logical subgroups.The MESSAGE keys navigate through the subgroups. The VALUE keys increment or decrement numerical setting valueswhen in programming mode. These keys also scroll through alphanumeric values in the text edit mode. Alternatively, val-ues can be entered with the numeric keypad.The decimal key initiates and advances to the next character in text edit mode or enters a decimal point.The HELP key can be pressed at any time for context-sensitive help messages.The ENTER key stores altered setting values.4.3.6 BREAKER CONTROLa) INTRODUCTIONThe C30 can interface with associated circuit breakers. In many cases the application monitors the state of the breaker, thatcan be presented on faceplate LEDs, along with a breaker trouble indication. Breaker operations can be manually initiatedfrom faceplate keypad or automatically initiated from a FlexLogic operand. A setting is provided to assign names to eachbreaker; this user-assigned name is used for the display of related flash messages. These features are provided for twobreakers; the user can use only those portions of the design relevant to a single breaker, which must be breaker 1.For the following discussion it is assumed the SETTINGS  SYSTEM SETUP  BREAKERS  BREAKER 1(2)  BREAKERFUNCTION setting is "Enabled" for each breaker.b) CONTROL MODE SELECTION AND MONITORINGInstallations can require that a breaker is operated in the three-pole only mode (3-pole), or in the one and three-pole (1-pole) mode, selected by setting. If the mode is selected as three-pole, a single input tracks the breaker open or closed posi-tion. If the mode is selected as one-pole, all three breaker pole states must be input to the relay. These inputs must be inagreement to indicate the position of the breaker.For the following discussion it is assumed the SETTINGS  SYSTEM SETUP  BREAKERS  BREAKER 1(2)  BREAKER1(2) PUSH BUTTON CONTROL setting is “Enabled” for each breaker.
