1.1. Unit features
The VAMP 260 power-monitoring unit is a compact multi-
function monitoring device with extensive measuring and
calculation functions. The unit is based on the same hardware
and software as the protection relays. The setting and
programming possibilities are comprehensive and versatile.
The VAMP 260 us ideal for utility, industrial, marine and off-
shore power distribution management.

Operation and configuration VAMP 260
VM260.EN004 Vamp 24h support phone : +358 (0)20 753 3264 5
The unit measures currents, voltages and frequencies and
calculates following values:
•Active, reactive and apparent power
•Active and reactive energy
•Harmonics and THD of currents and voltages
•Programmable average value calculations
•Four energy pulse outputs
Further, the unit includes 6 freely configurable digital or
analogue channels.
The unit communicates with other systems using common
protocols, such as the ModBus RTU, ModBus TCP, Profibus
DP, IEC 60870-5-103 and it can be connected to a fibre-optic
SPA bus.
1.2. Operating safety
The terminals on the rear panel of the relay may
carry dangerous voltages, even if the auxiliary
voltage is switched off. A live current transformer
secondary circuit must not be opened.
Disconnecting a live circuit may cause dangerous
voltages! Any operational measures must be carried
out according to national and local handling
directives and instructions.
Carefully read through the relay operation instructions before
any relay operational measures are carried out.

2. User interface
2.1. General
The VAMP 260 power-monitoring unit can be controlled in
three ways:
•Locally with the push-buttons on the unit front panel
•Locally using a PC connected to the serial port on the front
panel or on the rear panel of the unit (both cannot be used
simultaneously)
•Via the remote control port on the unit rear panel.

3. Local panel operations
The local panel can be used to read measured values, to set
parameters and to configure unit functions. Some parameters,
however, can only be set by means of a PC connected to one of
the local communication ports. Further some parameters are
factory set.
3.1. Navigation in the menus
All menu functions are based on the main menu / submenu
structure:
1. Use the arrow keys UP and DOWN to move up and down in
the main menu.
2. For moving to a submenu, repeatedly push the RIGHT key
until the required submenu is shown. Correspondingly,
push the LEFT key to cancel the selection.
3. Push the ENTER key to confirm the selected submenu.
4. Push the CANCEL key to cancel a selection.
5. Pushing the UP or DOWN key in any position of a submenu
will bring you directly one step up or down in the main
menu.
The active main menu selection is indicated with a small
triangular cursor sliding along the vertical line to the right of
the main menu column. The possible navigating directions in
each part of the menu are shown in the upper left corner by
means of the black triangular symbols.
