GE P642 User Manual

Note:
For the pr
otection group and disturbance recorder settings, if the menu time-out occurs before the changes have been
confirmed, the setting values are discarded. Control and support settings, howeverr, are updated immediately after they are
entered, without the Update settings? prompt.
2.9 DIRECT ACCESS (THE HOTKEY MENU)
It can be an onerous process to configure settings using the HMI panel, especially for settings and commands that
need to be executed quickly or on a r
egular basis. The IED provides a pair of keys directly below the LCD display,
which can be used to execute specified settings and commands directly.
The functions available for direct access using these keys are:
● Setting group selection
● Control Inputs
These functions are enabled or disabled in the Direct Access cell in the CONFIGURATION column.
2.9.1 SETTING GROUP SELECTION USING HOTKEYS
In some models you can use the hotkey menu to select the settings group. By default, only Setting group 1 is
enabled. Other setting gr
oups will only be available if they are first enabled. To be able to select a different setting
group, you must first enable them in the CONFIGURATION column.
To access the hotkey menu from the default display, you press the key directly below the HOTKEY text on the LCD.
The following screen will appear.

Nxt Grp Select
Select the setting group with Nxt Grp and confirm by pr
essing Select. If neither of the cursor keys is pressed within
20 seconds of entering a hotkey sub menu, the device reverts to the default display.
2.9.2 CONTROL INPUTS
The control inputs are user-assignable functions. You can use the C
TRL I/P CONFIG column to configure the control
inputs for the hotkey menu. In order to do this, use the first setting Hotkey Enabled cell to enable or disable any of
the 32 control inputs. You can then set each control input to latched or pulsed and set its command to On/Off,
Set/Reset, In/Out, or Enabled/Disabled.
By default, the hotkey is enabled for all 32 control inputs and they are set to Set/Reset and are Latched.
To access the hotkey menu from the default display, you press the key directly below the HOTKEY text on the LCD.
