Remote Mode (RM)

In this mode, only a remote operator can manually close the switchgear. (An ACR can still close automatically with the auto-reclose function during a protection sequence or due to an automatic feature such as loop automation if enabled).

Only a remote operator can apply or remove the work tag when the controller is in RM.

If the local operator is denied a close operation due to a work tag being applied or because the controller is in RM, then, the O.I. will display a message or alert advising that operation is not allowed and either changing to local control and/or removing the work tag is necessary.

For safety reasons, a local or remote operator can always trip the switchgear regardless of whether the controller is in Local or RM.
