In the preceding discussions it was assumed that the fault was permanent, so that the breaker retripped following each reclosure, and that the NLR relay consequently stepped through its complete cycle until the LOCKOUT position was reached. A RESET selection link is available, which can be set to provide reset following a successful reclosure. There are three choices of link position: (1) STEP-2 position, which resets the NLR two step-time intervals after any successful breaker reclosure; (2) NEXT CLOSE position, which initiates reset after a successful reclosure when the NLR ratchet has reached the step where the next reclosing signal would be given; and (3) the NONE position, in which the rapid-reset feature is eliminated and the NLR will not reset after any successful reclosure until the relay has stepped through its complete time cycle to one time interval after the LOCKOUT position.
