Introduction
This User’s Manual contains a functional description of the VAM I/O
units and technical data.
2.1
Purpose
The main purpose of the VAM I/O units is to detect arc light or short
circuit current and deliver this information (zone information) to the
arc protection central unit and the other VAM I/O units. Additionally
VAM I/O units can be used for tripping appropriate circuit breakers.
NOTE: For applications in the US, Canada and Mexico, use specific
documents reviewed in line with the requirements of the relevant
regulatory authorities. Please contact our local Schneider Electric
office for assistance.
2.2
Main properties
Arc flash protection system is a modular system consisting of a
central unit, I/O units and arc sensors.
Due to its modularity, the system is suitable for a range of arc
protection applications, from simple systems with one central unit
and one I/O unit to more complex solutions comprising several central
units used for selective arc protection.
The I/O unit VAM 10L / VAM 10LD, VAM 12L / VAM 12LD serves
as link between the system’s point sensors and the central unit. Each
I/O unit has connections for ten arc sensors, one portable pin sensor
and one trip output.
The I/O unit VAM 3L/VAM3LX serves as link between the system’s
fibre sensors and the central unit. Each I/O unit has connections for
three arc sensors, one pin sensor and one trip output.
The I/O unit VAM 4C / VAM 4CD serves as link between the system’s
current inputs and the central unit. Each I/O unit has connections for
three current transformers and one trip output.
The arc sensor VA 1 DA is activated by strong light. The sensor
transforms the light information into the current signal, which is
forwarded through the I/O unit to the central unit. The arc sensor VA
1 EH also operates on the same principle.
The pin sensor VA 1 DP has the same functions as an arc sensor
but can be temporarily connected to an I/O unit. The sensor can be
fixed to the breast pocket of a technician to improve safety when
working with live switchgear.

2.2 Main properties
The door mounted VAM I/O units with the letter D in the type
designations VAM 10LD, VAM 12LD and VAM 4CD are door mounted
versions for the corresponding VAM 10L, VAM 12 L and VAM 4C
units. The functionality is exactly the same.

User interface
Usually, there is no need to touch the front panel during normal
operation, since all the necessary information can be read from the
central unit display. However, after a new installation or a system
expand you will need to program certain functions (zone/address,
trip output) in the I/O unit.
NOTE: If you unfasten the terminal blocks during installation, remember to
tighten the fixing screws after installation! Also tighten the screws
even if you did not unfasten the blocks.

VAM 12L point sensor I/O unit
VAM 12L is primary design for selective feeder trip applications. The
unit comprises 3 electromechanical trip normally open contacts and
one trip alarm change over contact.
The unit has 10 Arc sensor inputs. Tree sensors (of the ten) inputs
are dedicated, and are controlling their own trip relay. The unit is
ideal for selective trip of cable compartment in case of an ARC fault.
VAM 12L can selectively handle 3 feeders. The rest of the sensors
can then supervise the busbar and breaker compartments and will
operate in the zone selected by the unit address switches.

Programming switches
Before system implementation, check the positions of the
programming switches in accordance with the following basic
principles:
4.1
•
Each I/O unit connected to the communication bus has its own
address (each I/O unit have an unique address).
•
Set the programming switches before connecting the supply
voltage.
•
If you have to change the switch positions once the supply
voltage has been connected, disconnect the supply voltage to
the unit in question for the duration of the programming and
re-configure the system.
•
If position of the switch is changed, re-install the system again
in the central unit.
Switches for arc sensor I/O units
The programming switches of the I/O units are used to determine
the unit address and trip relay function.
The system accommodates up to 16 units. Eight addresses are
reserved for each protection zone:
•
Zone 1 addresses 0 – 7
•
Zone 2 addresses 8 – 15
•
Zone 3 addresses 16 – 23
•
Zone 4 addresses 24 – 31
The programming switches have different weight factors. To create
an address for the I/O unit, turn switches with different values to the
ON position and calculate the sum of their weight factors. The
following table shows the weight factors of each programming switch.

Switch 1 determines which light activation activates the arc stage.
When the switch position is ON, the arc stage only activates on the
light information provided by the unit's own sensors. In OFF position
the arc stage activates on the light information received from any
unit in the same protection zone.
Switch 2 determines the trip relay latch. When the switch is in ON
position the trip relay remains engaged after the arc trip until the fault
is acknowledged at the central unit’s panel. In the OFF position the
trip relay follows the arc fault.
Switch 3 determines the arc trip criteria. When the switch is in ON
position the trip is based on light information only; in OFF position
both fault currents exceeding the current limit and light information
are required.

4.2 Switches for current I/O units
4 Programming switches
VAM 12L / VAM 12LD
When the L>ext/int DIP switch is in “L>int” position, the output relays
are only activated by dedicated sensors.
SENSOR 1 activates T1.
SENSOR 2 activates T2.
SENSOR 3 activates T3.
SENSORS 4 to 10 are normally sending light information to system
according to zone setting.
If the switch is in “L>ext” position, all output relays are also controlled
by the selected zone information. This activation source can be any
sensor channel 4 to 10 or from an external I/O unit configured to the
same zone.
4.2
Switches for current I/O units
The address range for current I/O units is (32), 33 - 47. Do not use
address 32, because in this case the current I/O unit operates in
CENTRAL UNIT mode and the actual central unit must be set to
SUB-UNIT mode. To determine the address of a current I/O unit,
add the sum of the weight factors to 32 (for example, programming
switch values total 7, address of the current I/O unit 32 + 7 = 39).
NOTE: Do not use 32 as the unit address if system have central unit.
Other programming switches have different functions in different
units, as described below.

Adjusting the overcurrent
setting
The principles for changing the current setting in VAM 4C units are
the same as for the central unit. You can see the estimated current
setting from the led bar on the right side of the unit.
The most accurate way of setting the current limit for the unit is as
follows:
•
Turn the potentiometer to the maximum value.
•
Feed a test current corresponding to the required setting using
a testing device.
•
Lower the setting until the current activation indicator LED of the
I/O unit and / or the I>ext indicator LED in VAMP 221 the central
unit are / is lit.

Each I/O unit also has a BI/O bus. The light I/O units (VAM 10L /
VAM 10LD, VAM 12L / VAM 12LD, VAM 3L / VAM 3LX) can transmit
trip signal to the central unit or current I/O unit. The current I/O unit
(VAM 4C / VAM 4CD) can receive the light information and send the
current information either to other I/O units or the multiplying relay.
NOTE: The DI/DO on the VAM units are fast BI/BO signals.

The units are designed for mounting on a door. Hence all indicators
are clearly visible in normal operation.
9.3
Connecting the VAMP 321 I/O units
The I/O units can be connected to the components listed below:
9.4
•
Enclosure current transformer secondary circuits (VAM 4C and
VAM 4CD I/O units only)
•
Circuit breaker trip circuits
•
External auxiliary supply circuits
•
Connections to the VAMP 321 central unit or other I/O units (data
communication and auxiliary supply)
•
Connections to other central units or detection relays (digital
input (DI) or digital output (DO) bus)
Connecting the secondary circuits of the
current transformers (VAM 4C / VAM
4CD only)
Connect the secondary circuits of the current transformers to the
following screw connectors:
•
X1-1, X1-3 (L1)
•
X1-5, X1-7 (L2/I0)
•
X1-9, X1-11 (L3)
The arc protection system can also be single or two-phase connected.
Three-phase connection is nevertheless recommended for optimal
operating speed.

(VAM 4C / VAM 4CD only)
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Do not open the secondary circuit of a live current transformer.
Disconnecting the secondary circuit of a live current transformer
may cause dangerous overvoltages.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or
serious injury.
NOTE: The current measuring channels L1 and L3 must be used in
connection with two-phase current measuring. Single-phase current
or ground fault current must always be connected to the current
measuring channel L2/I0; otherwise, an unbalance error will occur.
The specified operating time can only be guaranteed for three-phase
current measurement and with the proper voltage supply to all system
components, minimum allowed auxiliary voltage is 21.6 Vdc.
The VAM 4C overcurrent unbalance alarm settings recognizes if the
two-phase or three-phase monitoring is being used based on the
connections made to the unit and the overcurrent limits set for each
connection. The two-phase connection monitoring is triggered when
the L2/I0 connection overcurrent limit differs from the L1/L3 overcurrent
limit settings by 90% or more. This is because in the event two-phase
monitoring is used, the L2/I0 connection is the connection used to
monitor the ground current.
Therefore, the current limit set for the L2/I0 connection should reflect
limits associated with anticipated ground currents. The remaining
L1/L3 currents should be balanced, and overcurrent settings for the
L1/L3 connection should be reflected as such. The two-phase
monitoring mode is also referred to as “ground-fault mode.”
The three-phase monitoring is triggered when the L2/I0 and L1/L3
overcurrent limit settings are similar, reflecting that each phase is
understood to be in balance with the other two phases.
If detected, the system gives an unbalance alarm after a 10-second
delay time. The alarm does not affect other operations of the arc
detection system.
The phase discontinuity settings are non-adjustable since all the
setting values have been programmed in the current-monitoring unit.

9.5 Connecting the trip circuits of the circuit breakers
9.5
9 Construction
Connecting the trip circuits of the circuit
breakers
Connect the circuit breaker’s trip circuit to the following pins:
TRIP1: X2-15, X2-16
For example, in the event of an arc fault, the output contact will close
at specified time when three-phase current measurement is used.
The output trip relay of the light I/O units (VAM 10L and VAM 3 L)
operates during faults in its own zone. In the current I/O unit (VAM
4 C), select the protection zone controlling the I/O unit using the
programming switches.
If several trips are required, the multiplying relay VAMP 4R can be
used. If VAMP 4R is used, make sure that proper voltage supply is
connected to device.
9.6
Connecting between the central unit and
the I/O unit
Connect the central unit to the I/O units with a modular cable of type
VX001. The modular cable carries all information between the central
unit and I/O units, including data in serial form, arc fault messages
and operating supply to the I/O units.
•
Connect the VX001 cable to the arc I/O COM interface of the
central units.
•
Connect the cable to COM1 or COM2 on the first I/O unit.
•
Route the cable from COM1 or COM2 on the first I/O unit to
COM1 or COM2 in the next unit, etc.
All the COM1 and COM2 interfaces are identical, i.e. the cable can
always be connected to either interface. The maximum total length
of the modular cable, taking into account all the I/O units connected
to the central unit, is 100 m.
NOTE: Use only star connection for I/O units. Maximum single bus cable
length is 30 meters.
CAUTION
HAZARD OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Do not connect modular cables closed loop.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal
injury or equipment damage.

9.7 Connecting separate auxiliary supplies
NOTICE
HAZARD OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Only VAMP communication cable type VX001 shall be used.
Modular cable wiring shall be placed on the control cabling trays
as far from the primary cable, bus bar and bus ducts as possible.
Do not connect Ethernet to ARC I/O Bus!
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment
damage.
9.7
Connecting separate auxiliary supplies
When routing modular cables over long distances (30 meters of
modular cabling) or when the system contains more than 4 I/O units
you should preferably use a separate auxiliary +24Vdc voltage supply
with output monitoring along with the modular bus cabling.
Recommended types of power supplies with output monitoring:
1. Phaseo ABL4RSM24035 (3.5A @ 24Vdc)
2. Phaseo ABL4RSM24050 (5A @ 24Vdc)
3. or any equivalent type of power supply with above functionality
NOTE: Use of power supplies without voltage monitoring is not
recommended.
Connect the auxiliary supply to the 24 V terminals of the last I/O unit.
Use at least 1.5mm2 (AWG 16) size twisted pair cable.
NOTE: It is recommended to use external wiring to connect auxiliary supply
to all units. Pay particular attention to the polarity of the wire and
cable connections.
Additional power supply cabling is recommended, min. 1.5 mm2 (AWG 16)

X2-2 (-). Terminals X2-3 and X2-5 are parallel inputs to X2-1(+).
Terminals X2-4 and X2-6 are parallel inputs to X2-2(1). The
auxiliary voltage ( +24V ) can be supplied from the central unit
or nearest slave ( X2-1 (+), X2-2 (-)).
•
Connect the required signal (18-265 V ad/dc) to the trip control
inputs.
•
Input “TRIP 1” ( X2-11, X2-12 ) is controlling the trip group 1.
Input “TRIP 2” ( X2-8, X2-9 ) is controlling the trip group 2.
•
There are 2xN/C + 2xN/O contacts per trip group.

9.9 Wiring multiple central units
9 Construction
If necessary, input TRIP 1 and 2 can be connected in parallel. Then
all trip relays will operate simultaneously.
9.9
Wiring multiple central units
A maximum of 16 I/O units and/or central units in ‘slave’ mode can
be connected to one communication bus. In this case, the units can
operate on a maximum of four protection zones (depending on their
programming switches). The light and current signals given by the
I/O units, including address information, are transferred to each
central unit.
If more than one central unit is to be connected to the same
communication bus, one central unit must be in central unit mode
and the other central units in sub-unit mode.
In applications with multiple central units the central units can be
interconnected also via BI/O connections (binary input/output). In
this case, each part of the system can control four protection zones
per system communication bus. In this case, arc and overcurrent
information is transferred between the central units without address
information.
NOTE: When configurating Vamp 221 arc protection system with multiple
central units, disconnect I/O-units from central units in slave mode
during their installation procedure.
9.10
Arc sensors
Mount the sensors on the switchgear in such a way that they cover
the protection zone as completely as possible. The line of sight must
be free between the sensor and the supervised area.
If point sensors are used in open compartments (such as bus-bar
sections), there should be a sensor approximately every 5 meters.
Due to the wide detection range of the sensors and the light reflection
inside the switchgear, the mounting position is not critical.
Connecting sensors VA 1 DA and VA 1 EH to the I/O units
The sensors are delivered with 6-metre standard cables or 20-metre
shielded cables (to be specified in the order).
After mounting the sensors, connect them to the I/O units as follows:
62
•
Draw the wire to the nearest I/O unit using the shortest route
possible and cut it to a suitable length.
•
Connect the arc sensors to the screw terminals X1-1…20. The
polarity of the arc sensor cables is not critical.

Connecting the ARC-SLx sensors to the I/O units
The sensors are delivered in standard lengths (to be specified in the
order) equipped with terminals compatible with VAM 3L units.
After mounting the sensors, connect them to the I/O units as follows:
•
Draw each end of the sensor to the I/O unit and carefully form a
loop of the extra fibre.
•
Connect the arc sensors to plug-in terminals X1-R1, T1…R3,
T3. While the polarity of the arc sensors is not critical, you must
connect each end of the fibre to the same channels.
NOTE: Check that the sensor positioning has not changed during shipping
and commissioning.
Use a separate VAMP Arc Flash Protection Testing Manual for testing
testing each sensor during commissioning.

ARC-SLx
ARC-SLx is an fibre sensor that can be mounted on the switchgear
to monitor several compartments simultaneously (various bus-bar
compartmets, etc.).
The fibre must not touch any live parts of the switchgear or other hot
components, since too high temperatures may destroy the fibre.
When mounting the sensor on the switchgear, ensure that the
bending radius is long enough (min. 50 mm) and that it is safe from
the sharp edges of the switchgear.
NOTE: The sensor must not be exposed to direct sunlight or other strong
light. Do not mount the sensor directly under a light source.
To avoid false tripping, cover any unused channels of the I/O unit.

VA 1 DP
The portable pin sensor can be temporarily connected to the I/O
units. It is used to improve safety when working with live switchgear,
for example, Attach the sensor close to the working area, for example
in the breast pocket of the maintenance man.
A pin sensor operates in the same way as a fixed arc sensor. The
only difference is free mobility within the limits of the connecting
cable.

NOTE: To avoid faulty tripping, disconnect the pin sensor from the system
immediately after use.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, ELECTRIC ARC OR BURNS
Ensure that trip signal will control main breaker in case of Arc
flash incident!
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or
serious injury.
