INITIAL CHECKOUT
Perform the following steps to ensure that the SEL-2020 communicates:
1. Visually inspect the SEL-2020 for loose or damaged parts.
2. Connect and apply power to the SEL-2020. (See the PWR SUP field on the rear-panel
nameplate for power requirements.) If you do not have the proper voltage source available,
use a power supply, like the SEL-LPS, to power the unit.
3. Press and hold the LED TEST button and confirm that all LEDs illuminate.
4. Connect a terminal (or computer equipped with terminal emulation software) to the front-
panel connector Port F of the SEL-2020 using an SEL-C234A cable or equivalent.
