parameters and measuring the values returned from the flow measuring system. (52 pages)
The manufacturer declines all liability for damage to the unit caused by incorrect or improper usage. ABB SACE also declines all liability for any ensuing damage or injury. Do not use the unit in damp or wet environments.
3. General information 3.1. Introduction The SACE PR010/T test unit is designed to Test, Program and Read the parameters of the protection units mounted on ABB SACE circuit breakers (both moulded- case and air circuit breakers). For further information about specific functions, refer to the corresponding protection unit.
• Connect the external power supply to the 12 Vdc outlet (11). Wait for the batteries to charge (when the SACE PR010/T unit is switched off, the battery charge status bar is stationary). Even when the batteries are discharged, the unit can still operate if connected to the external power supply.
4. Functions 4.1. Test functions The SACE PR010/T test unit tests protection units by monitoring both their HW and SW components. The unit performs the following tests: Trip test: by means of SACE TT1 unit Protection functions test Communication functions test 4.1.1.
The SACE PR010/T test unit can also test the serial communication circuits of the protection releases. 4.2. Programming function Using the SACE PR010/T test unit, the type of releases with internal bus mounted on ABB SACE circuit breakers can be programmed. You can also program all the protection function parameters (setting, curve, interlock parameters etc.).
4.5. PC interface The SACE PR010/T test unit is fitted with a connector (3) for connection to a PC (standard RS232 serial port). This interface is used to update the unit’s software and download test reports.

The manual test function also enables a general current to be introduced into the release in order to test the trip time (a particularly useful function for selectivity studies between two or more circuit breakers). RH0025.002 ABB SACE SACE PR010/T L0876 10/22...
5. Software 5.1. Description When the SACE PR010/T test unit is first switched on, it runs an initialisation test. Following the successful conclusion of this test, the software version and battery charge status are displayed on the unit’s screen. ABB SACE S.p.A.
5.1.1. Report downloading The SACE PR010/T test unit can download a test report onto a PC which contains all the information indicated under the heading “Test report”. 5.1.2. Test unit configuration The test unit’s configuration can be customized.
5.2. Communication with PC Using the cable supplied, connect the SACE PR010/T test unit to a PC and proceed as described below: 5.2.1. SW updating procedure Switch on the SACE PR010/T test unit. Connect the SACE PR010/T test unit (connector 3) to one of the PC’s serial ports (COM1...
The PC will instead display the message: ‘TOO MANY ERRORS, PROGRAM ABORTED’. 11. Press ESC on the SACE PR010/T unit to return to the screen: ‘Program failed’ ‘ENTER for recovery’ 12. In the PC’s UNIT menu, select START UPDATE PROGRAM.
Press ESC on the SACE PR010/T unit to return to the main menu. If the file is not successfully downloaded, the SACE PR010/T unit will display the following message: ‘Download aborted’ Press ‘ESC to return’ The PC will instead display the message: ‘UPLOAD FAILED: TIMEOUT WAS RECEIVED’.
If no key is pressed for at least 5 minutes the display switches off automatically to minimise electrical consumption. 6.2. Power supply The SACE PR010/T test unit is a portable instrument operated by 6 rechargeable batteries and/or an external power supply. When installing the rechargeable batteries in the PR010/T unit, pay attention to the polarity indications in the space provided for the batteries.
6.3. Inputs/Outputs The SACE PR010/T test unit uses a set of signals to perform its various testing, programming and reading functions. The main characteristics of these signals are as follows: - Output voltage range: - 5 … +12 Vdc - Maximum output current:...
