Interface (MMI), and to the Installation Manual for installation of the relay. 1.2. The use of the relay REM 610 is a versatile multifunction protection relay mainly designed to protect motors in a wide range of motor applications. REM 610 is based on a microprocessor environment. A self-supervision system continuously monitors the operation of the relay.

Motor protection Relay REM 610 1MRS 755537 Technical Reference Manual Safety information Dangerous voltages can occur on the connectors, even though the auxiliary voltage has been disconnected. National and local electrical safety regulations must always be followed. The device contains components which are sensitive to electrostatic discharge.
The relay can be used with both circuit-breaker controlled and contactor controlled drives. REM 610 can equally well be used to protect, for instance, feeder cables and power transformers which require thermal overload protection and, for instance, single-, two- or three-phase overcurrent or non-directional ground-fault protection.

4.1.6. Target LEDs and operation target messages The operation of REM 610 can be monitored via the HMI by means of LED targets and text messages on the LCD. On the front panel of the relay there are three target LEDs with fixed functionality: a green target LED (ready), a yellow target LED (pickup/alarm) and a red target LED (trip).
4.1.8. Monitoring of demand values REM 610 provides three different kinds of demand values. The first value shows the average current of all three phases measured during one minute. The value is updated once a minute. The second value shows the average current during an adjustable time range, ranging from 0 to 999 minutes, with an accuracy of one minute.
REM 610 Motor Protection Relay 1MRS 755537 Technical Reference Manual As soon as the recorder has been triggered and the recording has finished, the recording can be uploaded and analysed by means of a PC provided with a special program.
Motor protection Relay REM 610 1MRS 755537 Technical Reference Manual Triggering of the recorder immediately after it has been cleared or the auxiliary voltage connected may result in a shortened total recording length. Disconnection of the auxiliary voltage after the recorder has been triggered but before the recording has finished, on the other hand, may result in a shortened post-triggering recording length.
4.1.11. Recorded data of the last events REM 610 records up to five events. This enables the user to analyse the last five fault conditions in the motor drive controller. Each event includes the measured currents, pickup durations and time stamp, for instance. Additionally, information on the number of pickups is provided.

The ground fault current, I , as a percentage of the rated current of the CT used.
Technical Reference Manual 4.1.12. Communication ports The REM 610 is provided with an optical communication port (infrared) on the front panel. Rear communication is optional and requires a communication module, which can be provided with either a fibre-optic, combined fibre-optic (plastic and glass) or RS-485 connection.
The selected line-idle state and connection topology apply irrespective of which rear communication protocol is active. REM 610 will use the SPA bus protocol as default when the optional communication module is in use. The protocol selection is memorized and will therefore always be activated when the rear connection is in use.

Note! Unused RTD inputs are to be short-circuited separately. Note! REM 610 is provided with connection socket X3.1 only if the optional RTD module has been installed. Terminals X4.1/21-24 and X3.1/1-6 (optional) are digital input terminals (see table 4.2.1-5). The digital inputs can be used to generate a blocking signal, to unlatch output contacts or for remote control of relay settings, for instance.

• 9.6 or 4.8 kbps (9.6 kbps with front communication cable) Auxiliary voltage The REM 610 requires a secured auxiliary voltage supply to operate. The internal power supply of the relay forms the voltages required by the relay electronics. The power supply is a galvanically isolated (flyback-type) DC/DC converter.
REM 610 Motor Protection Relay 1MRS 755537 Technical Reference Manual Note! If the settings of the thermal overload protection have been defined by means of the FLA of the motor instead of the internal FLA, they will be valid at an ambient temperature of 40°C.

Checking the set safe stall time for cold starts By selecting the correct trip curve from the trip curves at no prior load according to the previously selected or calculated safe stall time setting, the total start-up time of the motor can be read from the curve.
REM 610 Motor Protection Relay 1MRS 755537 Technical Reference Manual 5.1.2.4. Checking the set safe stall time for a single start If the safe stall time of the motor is shorter than the operate time when no prior load, a single motor start up should instead be protected by the start-up supervision.
