Issue:
Understanding the behavior of the fault relay (R1) under different operating conditions

Resolution:

Relay R1 Functionality Overview:

• The fault relay operates on terminals R1A–R1C.
• To enable fault relay functionality, set parameter r1 = r1F in Menu IO.
• The relay is a normally open contact.

Relay Behavior by Condition:

• When control power is not applied to terminals CL1–CL2, the relay contact is open.
• When control power is applied and no fault is present, the relay contact is closed.
• When the ATS48 detects a fault, the relay contact is open.

Special Case – Automatic Restart Enabled:

If Automatic Restart is active (ArS = ON in Menu PrO), the relay behaves differently:

• During auto-restart attempts, the R1 contact remains closed.
• If the fault persists after all restart attempts, the R1 contact will open
