vv ammetric detection
vv or, optionally, ICC detection for compensated neutral networks.
bb Recording of the information coming from 6 digital inputs
bb Sending commands via 3 outputs
bb Remote data transmission.
It also has functions allowing improved network management and planning:
bb Measurement and recording of load currents on the MV line
Easergy
Flair 200C
bb Measurement and recording of the MV voltage from the LV voltage
(if the power measurement option is installed)
bb Calculation of power (P, S, Q), energy and power factor
(if the power measurement option is installed).
Dated logging events:

Time-stamped chronological logging of events and measurements.
This information can be transmitted to the supervision centre and/or archived
in logs for consultation and local downloading (in the form of .xls files),
by connecting a microcomputer.
Backed-up power supply

In the event of a power outage, a lead battery provides a 4-hour power reserve.
The power supply is checked constantly. Alarms can be sent to the Scada system
in the event of:
bb Immediate mains failure
bb Charger fault
bb Battery fault.
Local communication and communication with a remote

supervision centre
The Flair 200C includes as a standard feature
bb A USB port for communication with the local PC for consultation/configuration.
The Flair 200C can receive as optional features
bb An Ethernet port for communication with the remote supervision centre and
for access from the local consultation/configuration PC.
bb One modem for remote communication with the remote supervision centre:
vv GSM/GPRS
vv GSM/3G - UMTS & HSPA + (3.75G), EDGE, GPRS & GSM
vv PSTN
vv Radio
vv RS485/RS422
vv RS232.
bb A RS232 or RS485/RS422 modem can communicate in Modbus protocol
with Sepam type local devices. In that case the Flair 200C plays the role of hub.
bb All communication protocols can be used with the remote supervision centre:
vv IEC 870-5-101, IEC 870-5-104
vv DNP3, DNP3/IP
vv Modbus, Modbus/IP
vv Other protocols on request.
Time synchronization of the equipment

Time setting for event dating can be performed:
bb By the laptop PC for consultation/configuration of the Flair 200C
(manually or automatically with the PC time)
bb By the remote supervision centre
bb By SNTP synchronization from an Ethernet network
(time setting precision of approximately one second).

Overview Description of functions
IEC 61131-3 programmable logic controller

On option, the Flair 200C can include an IEC 61131-3 embedded virtual
programmable logic controller.
A development platform (the RTU Control software supplied in appendix on the
Easergy CD) makes it possible to design, simulate and test on a target programs
written in the following PLC languages:
bb SFC – Sequential Function Chart
bb FBD – Function Block Diagram
bb LD – Ladder Diagram
bb ST – Structured Text
bb IL – Instruction List
These PLC programs allow specific customized applications or additional functions
to be implemented on the Flair 200C by combining or actuating existing Flair 200C
variables or virtual variables to be created specifically for the PLC application.
Inter-equipment communication
The IEC 61131-3 programmable automatic control option also includes an inter-
equipment communication function, allowing Modbus exchange, via a TCP/IP link,
between Flair 200C devices connected to the same MV circuit. This communication
allows exchange of a data table between these Flair 200C devices, in order to
contribute, for example (without any other PLC than the Flair 200C's), to an
automatic control function allowing detection and clearing of a current fault on an MV
circuit.
Calculation formulae
The calculation formulae are a standard feature of the Flair 200C.
They can be used in the Flair 200C to create new customized functions or
applications not requiring writing of a program in PLC language.
The functions that can be used in the formulae are:
bb Mathematical functions;
bb Statistical functions;
bb Logical functions;
bb Time/date functions;
bb etc.
These formulae make it possible, more easily than with a PLC program, to create
logic equations based on combinations of variables. The types of variables that can
be used are the same as for PLC programs (existing Flair 200C variables or virtual
variables created specifically). This inter-equipment communication is typically used
in applications of the self-healing network type.
(For more details regarding these three functions, refer to the specific "RTU Control
& Formulae" manual – ref. NT00320-xx).

Web server Server connection
Principle of the Flair 200C embedded Web server

The Flair 200C includes an embedded Web server which is initialized automatically as
soon as connection is established with the Flair 200C.
The data displayed by the Flair 200C via this embedded server appears in the form of
HTML pages.
Various pages and sub-pages can be accessed by the user depending on the rights
available to him. The HTML pages are refreshed in real time every seconds so as
to update the states reported by the Flair 200C.
Access and connection are secured by a Login and password. Several levels of
access to the HTML pages can be configured, provided one have the required rights.
From the embedded server, it is possible to:
bb Configure the fault detector, communications and system parameters
(management of variables, classes, rights, etc.)
bb View the states managed by the Flair 200C (TSS, TSD, routine faults,
telemeasurements, etc.)
bb Save or load the Flair 200C parameter configuration from files already backed up
on the PC
bb Transfer diagnostic logs in the form of Excel-compatible files
bb Load a new software version of the Flair 200C application.
The embedded server can be accessed both via the USB port and via the Ethernet
port. There is no difference in operation according to the type of port used.

Web server Initialization of connection
The Flair 200C incorporates by default IP addresses necessary for local connection
from a PC. It is important to know these addresses in advance in order to start
a connection:
bb USB port: default address on the Flair 200C = 212.1.1.10
bb Ethernet port: default address on the Flair 200C = 172.16.0.5
Note: the USB address cannot be modified by the user. The Ethernet address,
on the other hand, can be modified (if the rights so permit) so as to correspond to
the local area network, which does not necessarily use the same network addresses
and masks.
For the Flair 200C link via Ethernet, steps 2 and 3 are not necessary. In that case,
go directly to step 4.

of the USB port used. If a different USB port is used for a future connection, Windows
will automatically detect and install the Easergy USB driver for this other USB port.
Note: step 2 is no longer necessary after the first connection performed with
the Flair 200C. In that case, go directly to step 4.

Note 1: generally, the default IP address of the Flair 200C cannot be used
on the Ethernet network,3G or GPRS employed, and it must therefore be replaced,
in the Flair 200C’s specific IP address configuration page, with an address
acceptable for the network (see section on “IP address configuration”).
Note 2: unlike the Ethernet port, the connection speed on a GPRS or 3G link is
relatively slow (max. theoretical connection speed for GPRS = 50 kbit/s, 3G = 2 Mbit/s).
Accordingly, so that the display of data on screen may be slowed as little as possible,
following a GPRS or 3G connection the Flair 200C automatically displays the pages
of the Web server in simplified mode (Web server configuration in “Remote” mode).
However, it is possible to return to a standard display by clicking on “Local”
configuration, at the top of the Web server home page.
Remote access via telephone or GSM link

This access operates only when the Flair 200C includes a GSM or PSTN (telephone)
internal modem.
When an external modem is used, it is possible that this access may operate,
but that depends on the modem used.

Web server Description of the server
Overview of the Flair 200C embedded Web server

Once access to the on-board server has been identified by user name and password,
all the HTML pages can be consulted by simply clicking on the tabs or the associated
drop-down lists when they are available:
Details of the settings for each page are given in Appendix A.
Home Page
PE57505EN
This page is displayed upon connection to the Flair 200C. It enables definition of the
language to be used for displaying the pages. It also allows definition of user access
rights by login and password.
The users and passwords that can be accessed depend on the configuration defined
in the User page of the Maintenance menu.
By default, the “Easergy” user and “Easergy” password allow access to the embedded
server as “Administrator”.
A wrong user or password automatically opens access in “Monitoring” mode.
A click on the “Remote” button at the top of the page allows you to log on
to the Flair 200C Web server with a simplified display of information
Home Page (without images or logos) so as to optimize data transfer times.
This mode is used automatically for slow remote network connections
(PSTN or GSM at 9.6 kbits/s).
PE57506EN
A click on the “Local” button at the top of the page allows you to log on
to the Flair 200C Web server with a normal display (all logos and images
are transferred and displayed). This mode is used automatically for high-speed
local area connections: USB (115.2 kbits/s) or Ethernet (100 Mbits/s).
Monitoring Page
This page can be used to consult the Flair 200C states:
bb TSS: status of logical inputs, Flair 200C internal faults, voltage presences,
current faults, etc.
bb TSD: state of the double bit digital outputs. state of the switch, etc.
bb TM: current, voltage, frequency measurements, etc.
bb CNT: counter: energy, etc.
bb TCL: single bit command: opening/closing of digital outputs.
bb TCD: double bit command: Reset command for external fault detector.
Monitoring Page
The page is displayed by class (e.g. equipment, equipment measurement, etc.).
Each class covers a category of information so as to facilitate monitoring on screen.
PE57507EN
The states of the indications or measurements are refreshed automatically.
Control Page
This page allows local control orders to be sent from the PC to:
bb logical output control
bb counter presetting
bb reset of the fault detection.
The status of the control order is refreshed on screen automatically as soon as
it is completed.
Note: the colours of the states displayed can be modified by configuration.
Control Page
20 NT00201-EN-04
Web server Description of the server (cont’d)
PE57511EN
Diagnostic Menu
This menu allows consultation of the logs recorded in real time by the Flair 200C.
The event time stamping is 1 ms.
Each log allows consultation of the history of states occurring on the Flair 200C
with a description of the states.
All the information present in the logs is time-and-date stamped by the Flair 200C’s
internal clock.
Drop-down list – Diagnostic menu
The logs are as follows:
bb Alarm log (storage capacity: 2000)

Alarms can be generated and transmitted spontaneously to the control centre
after an information change of status, provided that this status has been configured
as alarmed.
A box associated with each alarm is checked when the control centre
has acknowledged that alarm.
Note: information configured as alarmed automatically implies the generation
of an associated event (in the event or measures log depending on the type).
PE57508EN
bb Event log (storage capacity: 10000)

Every change of status generates an event, provided that the use of events
for this status has been configured.
bb System log (storage capacity: 6000)

The equipment also incorporates a function for recording additional information
to facilitate operation and maintenance:
vv storage of transmission events (to determine the origin of a recurring communication
fault)
vv indication of transmission errors (CRC error, collisions, PSTN line out of order,
switchover to redundancy, etc.)
vv indication of system events (Flair 200C start-up, change of configuration, etc.).
bb Measures log (storage capacity: 30000)

The measurements managed by the Flair 200C (phase current, mains voltage, etc.)
can be saved in a log, provided that their use has been configured.
The measurements can be recorded in several ways:
vv periodically (sampled or averaged value with configurable period)
vv upon exceeding a threshold (configurable high or low threshold)
vv upon variation or “dead band” (configurable variation %)
vv upon periodic recording of Min. and Max. values (configurable values and period).
For all the logs, when the maximum storage capacity is reached, the most recent
PE57509EN
event occurring erases the oldest event on the list.

A File Transfer sub-menu allows these logs to be saved to the PC in the form of
Excel-compatible files (.csv files).
These files can be consulted or transferred, to enable the establishment of statistics
or reviews.
An “Empty log” button in each log can be used to empty their content, i.e. to erase
File transfer – Diagnostic menu
all the information saved previously.
Principle of saving to logs

To increase the life of the flash memory, saving to the logs is performed every 5 min.
Accordingly, when a reset is performed on the Flair 200C, it is possible that the most
recent events that have occurred since the last backup may not be saved in the logs.
The only exception is when a power cut is imminent on the enclosure. In that case,
even if the time elapsed is less than 5 min., the Flair 200C saves the events to the logs
before cutting off the power supply.
NT00201-EN-04 21

Save/Restore configuration parameters
PE57801EN
Save/Restore Page
Access: Maintenance V Save/Restore menu
The Flair 200C can save in file form all the configurable parameters of the equipment
(except the parameters of the “IP parameters” page which remain specific to each
equipment item).
This file can then be used for downloading to other equipment of the same type,
thus enabling the Flair 200C to be configured automatically without needing
to redo the entire configuration manually, which would be rather onerous.
However, the parameters specific to each Flair 200C must then be personalized
(e.g. protocol address, fault detection thresholds, etc.).
Saving the configuration on PC:

This section describes saving of the Flair 200C configuration in file form
(Flair 200C V PC direction).
The configuration is saved in the form of a zipped text file: click once on the arrow
(Flair 200C V PC) and the Flair 200C automatically creates a compressed text file
(file with .zip extension) containing the Flair 200C parameters.
PE57510EN
Downloading the configuration from the PC

This section describes downloading to the Flair 200C of the parameters contained
in a backup file (PC V Flair 200C direction).
In this mode there is only a single button for downloading.
The Flair 200C automatically detects the type of file downloaded and manages
the reading of information accordingly.
It is possible to download two types of files:
bb Text file (.txt extension)
bb Compressed text file (.zip extension).

Configuration procedure
The Flair 200C is factory-delivered with a default configuration corresponding to the
type of modem installed. The user should then (if need be) adjust the parameters of
this page (in particular the modem management signals and associated time delays)
depending on what is required for the modems used or possibly the transmission
network.
Concerning the adjustment of transmission delays, in theory one starts by configuring
high values for all the delays, checking first that dialogue is established between
the Flair 200C and the Supervisor.
One starts by gradually reducing the first time delay in order to determine the operating
limit of the modem relative to the adjusted signal.
Then, this delay is increased by several tens of milliseconds to keep a safety margin.
The procedure is then started again with the other delays.
This method allows Flair 200C-Supervisor transmission times to be optimized.
In case of doubt concerning the configuration, it is preferable to leave the default values.
Modem management signals

Before going into detail concerning the parameters to be configured, the function
of each modem management signal should be explained.
The following timing diagram shows the management signals involved during
communication between the Flair 200C modem and the interface or the external
radio, or even directly with the control centre.
DE58896EN
DSR
DCD
Received frame
DTR
or Send Command
RTS
CTS
Sent frame
Squelch
bb DSR (Data Send Ready):

This signal can be supplied to the Flair 200C to indicate that the control centre
(or the modem) is capable of transmitting (or simply that it is energized).
This signal is used only in the case of an RS232 link (not used in radio mode).
bb DCD (Data Carrier Detect):
This signal, when it exists, is used to confirm receipt of the received frame.
It can also be used to learn the transmission network occupancy.
bb DTR (Data Terminal Ready):
When the control centre uses DSR, DTR is used to indicate that the Flair 200C is ready
for transmission (equivalent of DSR but in the other direction).
In radio mode with internal modem: this signal is used by the Flair 200C to switch the
radio terminal to sending when it requires different commands for switching
to sending and for carrier sending.
bb RTS (Request To Send):
This signal actuates sending of the modem carrier.
bb CTS (Clear To Send):
After the Flair 200C has performed the Request To Send, the sender sometimes
takes a certain time to rise in power before being able to send the messages
submitted to it. This is especially true for radio equipment. Accordingly, when the
equipment is ready to send, it indicates this to the Flair 200C by causing the CTS
signal to rise.
bb Squelch: this signal is used only in radio mode to indicate to the Flair 200C
the occupancy status of the radio network.
NT00201-EN-04 31
Definition of modem management signals and time delays

The Flair 200C allows the user to configure, if necessary, use or non-use of the modem
management signals and the various associated time delays.
We give below the list of configurable options concerning these modem
management signals. Configuration is performed in the pages for ports 1 and 2
of the Flair 200C Web server:
PE57528EN
bb Delay before response: after receiving a message, this is the waiting time
before sending the message (response). This delay serves to avoid any overlapping
of signals between the message received and the message sent.
This delay is often used with a radio medium or with certain modems which require a
time lag to reverse the direction of transmission, i.e. a minimum time to go from
receive mode to send mode.
bb Handle DTR: if this option is selected, the DTR signal will be managed during
transmission exchanges with the modem.
bb DTR to RTS delay (if RTS used): time delay between DTR and RTS.
bb Handle RTS: if this option is selected, the RTS signal will be managed during
bb Handle CTS: if this option is selected, the CTS signal will be managed during
bb CTS delay (if CTS used): this is the maximum time during which the Flair 200C
waits for the CTS after the RTS has been activated. If, after this delay, CTS has not
became active, the Flair 200C discontinues sending the fram.
bb RTS (or CTS) to message delay - (if RTS or CTS used): this is the time between
transition to the active status of RTS (or CTS if this signal is used) and the start of
message sending. Typically, this time delay is used to wait for a stable carrier period
established by the modem.
If necessary, when CTS is not available, the time for installation of the carrier to solve
the problem posed by the non-availability of this signal can be added to this delay.
Likewise, if the DTR and RTS commands are common, the time for rise in power of
the sender can be added.
Note: example of delay to be configured on the Flair 200C, depending on the type
of radio:
vv Motorola CM 340 or GM340 radio: RTS-Message delay = 150 ms
vv TAIT 811x radio: RTS-Message delay = 100 ms
vv MDS4710 radio: RTS-Message delay = 50 ms.
bb Message to RTS delay (if RTS used): this is the minimum time to be waited, after
sending a message, before causing RTS and DTR (or Send command) to fall again.
This delay prevents the end of the message from being truncated by the premature
fall of modem sending.
Note: example of delay to be configured on the Flair 200C, depending on the type
of radio:
vv Motorola CM 340 or GM340 radio: Message to RTS delay = 100 ms
vv TAIT 811x radio: Message to RTS delay = 80 ms
vv MDS4710 radio: Message to RTS delay = 50 ms.
bb Handle DSR : if this option is selected, the DSR signal will be managed during
bb Handle DCD: if this option is selected, the DCD signal will be managed
during transmission exchanges with the modem.

General parameters (common to the various transmission media)

As a general rule, certain configurable parameters of the port 1 and 2 pages are
common to numerous types of modems. We shall describe in detail here the meaning
of these parameters and how to configure them.
bb Transmission speed: this is the speed of transmission between the Flair 200C and
the modem. When an external modem is used, the configured speed is not necessarily
the speed that will be used for the link to the Supervisor, because the external modem
can use a different speed to that used for the RS232-Flair 200C link.
The choice of available baud rates differs depending on the type of modem installed
on the ports. Here are a few examples:
vv FFSK radio: 1200 or 2400 baud
vv External radio or internal RS232: 200 to 38400 baud
vv Internal GSM: 600 to 9600 baud
vv etc.
bb Parity: this is the frame character parity for transmission to the Supervisor.
Some modems do not manage parity. In such cases, the Flair 200C will have to be
configured with the “No parity” option. To be defined therefore according to the type
of modem used. Of course, the control centre must also be able to be configured
in this mode.
Note that when the parity is no longer used, transmission security is diminished and
a disturbed frame may be considered correct (see protocol manual for more details
concerning this function).
There are four possible configurations: no parity, space, even or odd.
Note: parity is not used in PSTN, GSM, GPRS and FFSK radio links.
bb Number of stop bits: this is the number of stop bits used to define the end
of a frame during transmission.
There are two possible configurations: one or two stop bits.
bb Frame error on idle interval: the Flair 200C is capable of detecting a gap greater
than 1 bit between 2 characters of a frame.
With certain protocols, any frame having this feature can be rejected. This allows
secure transmission.
This frame rejection will be activated if this option is set to “Yes”.
This configuration implies that the supervisor and the modems involved in the
transmission circuit ensure that there are no gaps. While this is sometimes true with
regard to the supervisor, it is not completely true for many modems (case of packet
transmission). In this specific case, “No” should be set. However, transmission
security must then be ensured by other means (see User Manual of the protocol
used for more information).
Note: this parameter is used only on a radio or LL link.
bb Frame error on noisy start: some transmission networks could constantly
generate noise just at the start of frame. In that case this option should be set to “No”,
to avoid systematically rejecting all the received frames which could be considered
incorrect. However, the incorrect character generated by the noise located in the frame
header will be eliminated when reading the frame, because this character will not
correspond to what is expected by the protocol.
Note that, in most cases, this noise does not exist. In such cases, the option should
be set to “Yes”.
Note: this parameter is used only on a radio or LL link.
NT00201-EN-04 33
Parameters specific to each transmission medium

In this chapter we shall describe in detail the configuration parameters specific to each
modem (the other parameters having been described in detail in the preceding chapter).
PSTN and GSM media (internal or external modem)
PE57529EN
bb Dialling type: choice of the type of dialling to be used for a telephone call
to the supervisor during an alarm sequence.
There are two possible choices: pulse (decimal) and multifrequency (MF).
Note: configuration available in PSTN but not in GSM.
bb Modem init: the Modem init sequence is necessary to configure
the modem for operation linked to the Flair 200C application.
The default init sequence corresponds to the AT commands necessary for an internal
modem. For an external modem, the modem init sequence is not defined in the
configuration supplied. It is up to the user to define it according to the brand and
model used (refer to the modem manual).
Note: configuration available in PSTN but not in GSM.
bb Default init sequence: &F0%S0=12S0=1&K0%C0E0&W0&Y0.
If in doubt, do not change this default init sequence, because the Flair 200C-supervisor
link may no longer operate correctly.
bb Caller communication delay: maximum delay for connection between the Flair
200C and the supervisor following a call by the Flair 200C before release of the
PSTN line by the Flair 200C.
bb Called communication delay: maximum delay for connection between the
Flair 200C and the supervisor following a call by the supervisor before release
of the PSTN line by the Flair 200C.
bb Telephone number (main): main phone number that the Flair 200C uses
to call the supervisor during an alarm sequence.
The Flair 200C will try to call three times on this “main” number before switching
to the “standby” number.
The codes accepted for telephone numbers are:
vv 0 to 9 (for the call number)
vv P (for Pulse = decimal dialling setting)
vv T (for Tone = MF dialling setting)
vv W (for Wait)
vv space bar (for space)
vv + (equivalent to “00” for international dialling).
Example of config.: “P 00W0674948960” or “P +W0674948960”.
Note: a space must be inserted between the “T” or “P” and the call number.
bb Telephone number (standby): secondary phone number that the Flair 200C uses
to call the supervisor during an alarm sequence. This phone number is used only if
the main number does not reply (i.e. after three unsuccessful attempts).
The Flair 200C will also try to call three times on this second number before finally
stopping calling, unless another alarm occurs, which will have the consequence of
reinitiating the alarm calls from the “main” number).
Same comment as for the “main” number concerning the codes to be used
for the call number.

network on the Flair 200C side. The RS485 line must be loaded on each side of the line.
bb Line type: type of transmission used: 2 wires or 4 wires.
GPRS or 3G medium (internal modem)

GPRS/3G operating conditions on Flair 200C
For GPRS or 3G communication between the Flair 200C and the supervisor
to be able to operate, certain essential conditions must be obtained from
the network operator:
bb The Flair 200C must have a fixed IP address assigned by the operator
The GPRS or 3G connection will not be able to operate if the Flair 200C has a dynamic
IP address, because at the supervisor end it will not be possible to know the new IP
addresses assigned to the Flair 200C by the operator following a reassignment.
As a result, it will not be possible to initialize a communication protocol from
the supervisor.
Likewise, it will not be possible either to log on to the embedded Web server
of the Flair 200C remotely from an Ethernet port if the IP address of the Flair 200C
is not known.
The only way to know the IP address of the Flair 200C in this case is to log on locally
(on site) to the embedded Web server of the Flair 200C via an USB port, which is hardly
possible because that would imply going to the site for each enclosure whenever
an IP address is reassigned.
As soon as the Flair 200C is connected to the GPRS or 3G network, the IP address
assigned to the Flair 200C is displayed in the “Server IP address” field that can be
consulted in the “Maintenance V IP server port” page (see image below).
It is this address that must be used at the supervisor end to connect to the Flair 200C
via Ethernet or via the protocol.
PE57532EN
Comment: when connection to the GPRS or 3G network is not established, dashes

(“–”) are displayed in place of the IP address.
Example: “HTTP server” port No. 80 is not open with bb The IP ports used by the Flair 200C must be opened by the operator

Configuration of GPRS or 3G parameters
PE57534EN
Note: to check that the modem is correctly connected
to the GPRS network, it is possible to consult the trace
of the port corresponding to the GPRS modem.
The modem starts by initializing the GSM connection
and then the GPRS connection. Accordingly, following
the AT commands for connection to the GSM network
can be found the commands relating to GPRS
connection. At the end of them, the trace should indicate
“GPRS modem initialized” with also the indication of bb Access Point Name: name of the access point for connection to the GPRS/3G

data flow non-existent on the Flair 200C frames

The Flair 200C uses the regular ping test as a means of extending connection to the GPRS/3G network,
when the supervisor is no longer capable of implementing the communication protocol with the Flair 200C
even though the GPRS/3G network is still operational. Now, the Flair 200C is designed to monitor the IP
data packet flow reaching it via the GPRS/3G network.
A 5 min. time delay (“PPP session timeout”) automatically disconnects the Flair 200C from the GPRS/3G
network if no IP data flow reaches the Flair 200C. Accordingly, if the Flair 200C is disconnected from the
network, the modem will be reinitialized, thereby making the Flair 200C unavailable for 1 min., the time
needed for reconnection of the modem to the GPRS/3G network.
To avoid this drawback, the regular ping test is used to prevent disconnection of the Flair 200C when the
problem is exclusively due to the supervisor and not to a network problem. In other words, if the Flair 200C
is still connected to the GPRS/3G network, there is no reason to disconnect it because of a non-existent IP
protocol flow.
As soon as a ping address has been configured in this field, every 4 min. (“Ping time interval”)
the Flair 200C will attempt to send a ping to the specified IP address. Accordingly, an IP data flow
will return to the Flair 200C and the latter will not cut off the connection to the network.
If the result of the ping test is satisfactory, the Flair 200C will remain connected to the network,
because it knows that it is available. The Flair 200C will then do nothing in particular except for the next
ping test after the next 4 minutes have elapsed.
If the result of the ping test is unsatisfactory, after an extra minute the Flair 200C, seeing no IP data flow
for the last 5 min., will disconnect from the network automatically (modem reset), and then attempt
(after completion of modem initialization) to reconnect to the network again.
If the network is still not available, the Flair 200C will again request the modem to reinitialize immediately,
and this indefinitely until the next detection of the network. This phase of initialization and reconnection
PE57535
to the network requires approximately 1 min. for the GPRS/3G modem (see enclosed diagram).
If the ping address is set to “0.0.0.0” (default value), the regular ping test is deactivated.
Comment: the regular ping test method is preferable to the “Daily disconnect” method because, for the
regular ping test, network disconnection lasts only 5 min. at most during a brief failure (case of network
disconnection just after the ping test).
Note: the regular (or manual) ping test sends to the specified IP address the smallest possible number of
PE57536EN
data packets (equivalent to 0 byte), to avoid the extra cost of an IP data flow transfer.
bb Connection speeds in TCP/IP communication : Depending on the connection type, the Flair 200C/
Scada link can be implemented at different speeds. This is a maximum connection speed. They depend
on many factors such as the network’s availability, the received signal level or the location of the receiver.
vv GPRS : max. bit rate = 19.2 kbits/s (in practice)
vv EDGE: max. bit rate = 64 kbits/s (in theory)
vv 3G: max. bit rate = 2 Mbits/s (in theory), 115 kbits/s (in practice)
bb Automatic switchover of the 3G modem : The 3G modem has the feature that it can automatically
switch over to EDGE or GPRS mode if the 3G connection is momentarily unavailable, with the possibility
of returning to 3G mode automatically if connection is restored. This provides a backup for the TCP/IP link.
Connection is therefore preserved in the event of a network problem, on condition that the other EDGE
or GRPS modes are available. Only the transmission rate is affected by this automatic switchover from
one network to another.

The page E-mail parameters allow the configuration of the e-mail parameters.
At most three recipients can receive the e-mail.
The e-mail type alarm can be sent from the Ethernet port, or from a GSM/GPRS
modem. An internet subscription must be taken out with an Internet service provider
or a telephone operator (for sending e-mails by GPRS).
In the case of an ADSL type subscription (the e-mail will be sent from the Ethernet port),
the Internet service provider generally proposes the address of an SMTP server.
In the case of an old Internet subscription, the Flair 200C can dial the number of a remote
server and create a PPP session with that server. The e-mail will then be sent by
the GSM port.
For e-mail sending in GPRS, a known SMTP server must be declared.
This may, for example, be the SMTP server of the ISP.
In order to send e-mails, the user needs to select the variable (s) which will be sent
(see chapter “Variable configuration”).

and fault detection module (cont’d)
Ammetric type fault detection settings

In ammetric type detection, the Flair 200C constantly monitors the current value of
each phase. When a threshold (followed by voltage loss) is reached, the Flair 200C
indicates the presence of a fault. This type of detection is common in networks with
resistive neutral or earthed directly.
Circuit breaker Flair 200C side

General rule for configuration
protection side The thresholds Imax and I0 should be set on the Flair 200C to correspond to those

In theory, the fault detection thresholds and time delays to be set on the Flair 200C

should be slightly less than those of the upstream circuit-breaker protection device

Why a reset time upon voltage or current return?

Once the fault has been indicated by the Flair 200C,
it is stored in memory so long as the mains voltage is
absent (this indication is given either by voltage loss on
the LV terminals, or by current loss on the line), to be
able to locate the fault on the network during general
interrogation of the Flair 200C devices from the
supervisor. By default, this memory is cleared upon
mains voltage return (configurable parameter).

ICC type fault detection settings

In the case of compensated neutral networks, the value of the earth fault is low relative
to the value of the capacitive currents. As a consequence, ammetric detection cannot
be used for an earth fault.
ICC (Capacitance Current Insensitive) fault detection enables earth fault detection
on a compensated neutral network.
This algorithm is based on the recognition of electric signals.

Principle of operation
Undefined The principle of an order on the switch is to activate digital input 1 and 2 for a determined
time (Operating time parameter).

The duration of the order is therefore fixed by this time delay and does not depend on

After the control relay has fallen, the order is considered as completed by the Flair 200C
when the switch indicates a position in conformity with the order (the TSD is updated
with the new status). The order is considered in error (e.g. external error) if the position
is not in conformity with the requested order or if undefined after a loss of position

Definition of variables
The Flair 200C is supplied as standard with all the variables necessary for operation
of the equipment. This configuration takes into account all the options installed on
the equipment (number of channels, type of modem, protocol, other options, etc.).
The user can, however, modify this configuration to adapt it to his needs, for example
to add options later or to modify the operation of certain functions (e.g. fault detector
thresholds, alarms, communication parameters, etc.).
The Flair 200C Web server provides access to all the variables defined by default
on the Flair 200C.
The level of access to a variable (visible in read-only mode, accessible in write mode,
not visible) depends on how the variables have been configured.
The parameters for this page can be consulted and/or modified depending on the user
profile.
PE57547EN
With the factory settings, you must be an administrator to be able to change the level
of access to a variable.
The variables present in this page are grouped by classes.
In each class, a number of variables of several different types are found (“type” column).
Variable types
The variables break down into several types presented in the table below.
Type Use Description
TCD Double telecommand Allows sending of a double command to reset fault detection
(“Fault detection reset double command” variable)
TCL Single telecommand Allows sending of a single command to control the digital
outputs of the Flair 200C
TSS Single telesignal Indication of binary status (presence, absence) of certain
information managed by the Flair 200C (DI, current faults, etc.)
TSD Double telesignal Indication of the state of the digital outputs
Different types of variables existing on Flair 200C TM Telemeasurements Analogue measurements performed by the Flair 200C
(current, voltage, etc.)
CNT Counters Fault or energy counter
PE57548
In the standard version it is not possible to add extra variables to those already
created as standard.
Note: however, when the “local Modbus network” option is present in the equipment,
it is possible to add variables corresponding to this option (see “local Modbus network”
User Manual for more information).
Variable addresses
All the variables can be configured with an external address.
This external address allows the variable to be made accessible in read or write
mode from the supervisor by means of the protocol used for transmission.
A variable which has no address configured (address = “-”) will not be accessible
from the supervisor.

Variable configuration (cont’d)
Saving variables
PE57549EN
The Flair 200C includes a number of logs allowing archiving of events of various types
(event log, alarm log, measurement log).
The logs can be accessed by the user via the embedded Web server (“Diagnostic”
menu).
All the variables can be configured separately with or without being saved as
a measurement (in the case of a measurement), event or alarm in these logs.
Note: the system log, for its part, does not take into account variable changes of
status but rather information concerning the internal operation of the equipment.
When a variable is configured to be saved in a log, a specific symbol appears in
Example of events configuration for a TM.
the Variable configuration page on the same line as the variable:
Configuration available in the “Settings V Variable configuration” = Saving to alarm log
page and then by clicking on the variable name TMx
= Saving to event log or to measurement log
(in the case of a measurement).
Events associated with variables

An event is generated by the Flair 200C when a change of status occurs on a variable.
The Flair 200C manages two types of event tables associated with these changes
of status:
bb The local event table: this is the event log that can be consulted locally on
the Flair 200C. The changes of status concerning variables may be saved in this log
or not, the aim being to have a history of changes of variables. For saving of a change
of status on a variable to be effective, the variable must have been defined by
configuration as an event (“save” (TM/CNT) or “activate saving” (TSS, TSD) box
checked in the variable configuration page.
bb The protocol event table: this is an event stack for protocol exchange. This stack
will be read by the supervisor during communications between the Flair 200C and
the supervisor. Contrary to local events, it is not possible to configure a variable with
or without saving in the protocol event stack. This is because any change of status
on a variable automatically generates saving in this protocol event stack (except for
TMs for which one can choose to configure event saving in the stack or not).
NT00201-EN-04 47
Alarm reporting/Alarm acknowledgement

An alarm should be used for events which must be indicated rapidly to the supervisor,
PE57550EN
i.e. without waiting for interrogation by the supervisor (e.g. if the interrogation
frequencies of the Scada system are rather spaced out over time).
The alarms are therefore valid only for non-permanent type transmission (e.g. PSTN,
GSM, Radio), i.e. for types of transmission which require a deliberate interrogation
Example of saving in internal logs action by the supervisor.
On a permanent connection (RS232, RS485, Ethernet, GPRS/3G*), it is therefore
PE57551EN
not necessary to use the remote alarm function because the retransmission of
information between the Flair 200C and the supervisor theoretically takes place
fairly regularly.
(*) Depending on the speed rate of the GPRS/3G network and/or its function mode, the link can
be considered as non permanent and the alarm reporting is therefore used.
Configuration available in the “Settings V Variable configuration”
Note that the “Alarm configuration” section is displayed in the configuration page
page and then by clicking on the name of the variable
for the variable only if the protocol is configured as Master/Master.
Alarm levels
PE57564EN
Three configurable access levels associated with an alarm allow definition

of the various ways of processing calls during retransmission of an alarm:
bb “scada” level: retransmission of the alarm by the protocol to the supervisor
bb “scada + SMS” level: retransmission of the alarm by the protocol and by SMS
Choice of alarm level bb “scada + mail” level: retransmission of the alarm by SMS and by e-mail
to an operator on standby duty.
Call sequences triggering an alarm on a non-permanent link

On a non-permanent link, any change of status of a variable, if the latter has been
configured to trigger an alarm, causes frames to be sent to the supervisor to inform it
of the change of status that has occurred. At the same time, the Flair 200C saves the
change of status information in the alarm log.
In PSTN or GSM, the Flair 200C attempts to join the supervisor three times on the
main telephone number, then if this fails makes three further attempts on the standby
telephone number. If the call still does not get through, the calls are stopped unless
a new alarm occurs, which reinitiates the call sequence from the main number.
The call sequences take into account the time delays configured in the “Protocol”
page (refer to the Protocol manual for more details).
In radio mode, the Flair 200C attempts to send a frame over the radio network
to the supervisor to retransmit the change of status information.
If the call does not get through, the Flair 200C attempts to call the supervisor
indefinitely without any restriction regarding the number of attempts. The call
sequences take into account the time delays configured in the “Protocol” page.
It is recommended not to configure excessively short time delays so as not to
mobilize the radio network constantly (refer to the Protocol manual for more details).
In all cases, receipt of the event triggering an alarm by the Scada system causes
acknowledgement of the alarm.
If the alarm information does not reach the supervisor, no acknowledgement
is performed.
The acknowledgement of alarms by the Scada system can be checked in the
“Alarm log” via the checked box opposite the alarm that has been acknowledged.
NB: this box is checked by the Flair 200C only for alarm retransmissions
on non-permanent links. This is not managed for permanent links.
Note: the acknowledgement is internal to the Flair 200C and is the subject of
no particular order from the supervisor in the frame destined for the Flair 200C.

Internal counting
Object type Selection of the variable type on which the counter is incremented (Digital or Analog)
Object Name of the variable to which the counter is assigned
Method of counting Depending on the type of object, the methods displayed are as follows:
bb For a DI type variable:
vv impulse counter: the counter is incremented at each switchover of the variable to high state.
vv hour counter: the Flair 200C calculates the period during which the variable is in the high or
low state. The display in the viewing page is in the form “day,hour,minute,second”.
vv integrated counter: over a given range of time (integration period), the Flair 200C calculates
the number of high states of the variable.
For example, the integrated counter makes it possible to obtain a power from an energy counter
having a pulse output.
bb For an AI/AO type variable:
vv integration counter: the meter is incremented each second by the current value of the defined
analog variable.
For example, the Flair 200C can poll an analog variable (Power) from its Modbus Master port;
the counter makes it possible to obtain the energy from the value of the power.
vv average counter: the counter analyses an analog variable and displays the mean value of
the variable over the configured integration period. This function allows smoothing of analogue
variables in particular.
Minimum pulse time Pulse length (in ms) after which the Flair 200C will consider a state as high
Inhibition time past zero Period during which the Flair 200C inhibits pulse detection after zero crossing by the variable.
This filter makes it possible to avoid possible rebounds in the event of a return to zero
Integration period Useful period of the measurement in the case of an integrating meter (DI type variable) or mean
(AI type variable)
Scale factor Used in the case of a pulse counter. Weight of the pulse sent. With each pulse sent, the counter
value is incremented in accordance with the conversion factor
Active state Field used only in the case of a time counter
State of the variable (high or low) which activates the time counter

Definition of classes
A class allows the Flair 200C variables to be grouped in various categories in the
monitoring and control pages of the Web server (e.g. Monitoring and Control pages),
so as to make the data display clearer.
Note: the variable configuration page also adopts the same organization of variables
by class.
Classes configuration
The factory configuration settings of the Flair 200C include by default a number of
classes. However, it is possible to modify this configuration to customize the display
of the variables in the pages.
The Settings V Classes configuration page can be used to create a new class,
or to modify or delete an existing class.

Creating a class
To create a new class, simply enter its name in the empty Class name field and click
on the associated Save button.
Once the class has been created, it is then possible to configure a variable of the
Flair 200C to be attached to that class (see chapter on “Customization of Flair 200C
variables”).

Maintenance General
The equipment does not require regular maintenance.

The integrated battery test keeps users informed of the battery’s availability status.
The Flair 200C has certain tools to perform maintenance or fault finding on the
equipment.
PE57506EN
This requires a PC-compatible microcomputer with Internet Explorer (or an equivalent

software) installed. It is then possible to read the internal states of the equipment and
the events stored in memory by the Flair 200C.
The tools available for maintenance and fault finding are as follows:
Monitoring Page
The left-hand screen shows an example of a 2-channel Flair 200C. This menu allows
viewing of all the states and information managed by the Flair 200C:
bb Battery status
bb Stored fault currents: Imax and Imax transient on each phase
bb Current measurement on each phase, average current and neutral current
bb Voltage measurement
bb Power measurement, active, reactive and apparent
bb Etc.
Comment: the indications are refreshed every second.
Consulting the logs

PE57508EN
The various logs available (events, alarms and system) make it possible to know
the history of everything that has occurred on the Flair 200C.
This can be useful to find the cause of a fault during fault finding.
bb All the events displayed in the logs are time stamped so as to know the date of
origin of a fault.
bb Given the large number of time-stamped events saved, it is possible to go back
sufficiently far in time to trace the cause of a problem.
When the maximum number is exceeded, the oldest event on the list is erased
by the most recent one.
bb The logs can be saved on PC in the form of Excel-compatible files so as to be able
to perform fault finding, reviews or statistics later.
bb The logs can be transferred by e-mail so as to be able to forward the report on
a problem to an accessory department or person or possibly to exchange an opinion
with the manufacturer of the Flair 200C.
Control and indicator lamps

The Flair 200C can be operated either locally or remotely from a supervisor.
In local mode, Leds on the front panel of the enclosure provide information on the status
of the equipment and indicate any presence of a fault on the line.
To have further information on the status of the Flair 200C and the history of its operation,
it is possible to log on via a microcomputer to consult the logs or the Monitoring page
and determine the cause of a fault precisely.

Diagnostics via the indicator lamps and logs

A diagnostic through the status of the indicator lamps on the front panel is not always
adequate to find the cause of a fault. A lit indicator lamp indicates the presence of a
fault, but it is often necessary to consult the logs or the Monitoring page to determine

Powering down the equipment:
bb Switch off the AC supply. Open the cubicle (certified IP2x).
bb Disconnect the connector for the main power supply and the battery.
Following these two operations, all the Leds on the front panels should be
extinguished.
Toroid safety precautions
The toroid connectors are IP2x; switching off the current sensors temporarily
(< 10 min) involves no particular danger.

Battery maintenance
Replacing the battery
Before carrying out any work on the battery, disconnect it from the equipment
by unplugging the connector from the base. Cut the clip that holds it.
To install a new battery, repeat this sequence in the reverse order.
d IMPORTANT NOTE: Servicing and storing the batteries

Sealed spiral lead batteries are used. The advantages of this type of battery include
bb Use batteries having recent production dates
(less than three months’ old). the fact that there is no risk of explosion, no acid leakage and no servicing requirement.
bb Do not store more than six months without recharging.
However, this type of battery has its limitations:
bb Do not throw the batteries away.
bb Limited number of recharging cycles
bb Average service life of 10 years, with ageing accelerated by temperatures outside
the recommended range
bb Ageing during storage (do not store for more than 6 months without recharging,
as this type of battery does not withstand a total discharge)
bb Difficult to predict the end of battery service life
bb The Power Supply module is designed to optimize the characteristics of the battery.
A battery fault alarm informs the remote control system of an imminent discharge.

option)
Network presence bb By current A fault on the network is confirmed by a voltage loss. Choice of
bb By voltage the type of network presence/absence indication for confirmation
of the fault: indication by the presence/absence of LV voltage or
by the presence/absence of current flowing in the toroids
Inetwork powered Only if network presence by current is selected. This field is
calculated automatically from the Inetwork not powered field.
For a line current greater than this current, the Flair 200C
indicates a network presence
Inetwork not powered This field is useful when network absence by current is selected.
However, this Inetwork not powered is verified even if network
presence by voltage is selected.
For a line current smaller than this current, the Flair 200C
indicates a network absence. Make sure that the current entered
is greater than the capacitive currents

Correction factor Direct or raw or Definition of a multiplying factor to be applied to the counter
Counters Direct / 10 to 10000 or variable for its correct display in the Monitoring page.
Direct x 10 to 10000 Allows display in the correct format relative to full scale
Logical address Internal No. of the CNT assigned automatically by the Flair 200C
(unmodifiable)
Class (Complete list of all classes)) Allows a variable to be assigned to an existing class
Internal address Address for the COM-CPU internal Modbus link (unmodifiable)
External address Format “x” (e.g.: 2) External address used by Scada for this variable
(Scada) In DNP3: “x,class”
Unit No restriction Unit for display of the variable
Max. value Integer Maximum value that can be taken in practice by the counter value.
Min. value Integer Minimum value that can be taken in practice by the counter value.
Internal counting Object type Digital Selection of the variable type on which the counter is incremented
Analog (Digital or Analog)
Object DI1 to DI1000 Name of the variable to which the counter is assigned
intDI1 to intDI22
Method of counting Impulse counter For a DI type variable:
Hour counter bb Impulse counter: the counter is incremented at each switchover
Integrated counter of the variable to high state.
Average bb Hour counter: the Flair 200C calculates the period during which
the variable is in the high or low state. The display in
the viewing page is in the form “day,hour,minute,second”.
bb Integrated counter: over a given range of time (integration
period), the Flair 200C calculates the number of high states of
the variable.
For an AI/AO type variable:
bb Integration counter: the meter is incremented each second
by the current value of the defined analog variable.
bb Average counter: the counter analyses an analog variable
and displays the mean value of the variable over the configured
integration period. This function allows smoothing of analogue
variables in particular.
Minimum pulse time Between 0 and 2000 ms Pulse length (in ms) after which the Flair 200C will consider
in increments of 10 ms a state as high
Inhibition time past zero Period during which the Flair 200C inhibits pulse detection after
zero crossing by the variable. This filter makes it possible to avoid
possible rebounds in the event of a return to zero
Integration period Between 0 and 86 400 s Useful period of the measurement in the case of an integrating
meter (DI type variable) or mean (AI type variable)
Scale factor Between 0 and 10 000 Used in the case of a pulse counter. Weight of the pulse sent.
With each pulse sent, the counter value is incremented
in accordance with the conversion factor
Active state Field used only in the case of a time counter
State of the variable (high or low) which activates the time counter
