SEL-387E Instruction Manual
Backup Relay Settings
The relay preserves settings and passwords during the firmware upgrade process. However,
interruption of relay power during the upgrade process can cause the relay to lose settings. Make
a copy of the original relay settings in case you need to reenter the settings. Use either the
SEL-5010 Relay Assistant software or
AC
SEL
ERATOR
to record the existing relay settings and
proceed to D. Start SEL
BOOT
on page B-8. Otherwise, perform the following steps:
Step 1. From the Transfer menu in HyperTerminal, select Capture Text.
Step 2. Enter a directory and filename for a text file where you will record the existing relay
settings.
Step 3. Click Start.
The Capture Text command copies all the information you retrieve and all the
keystrokes you type until you send the command to stop capturing text. The terminal
emulation program stores these data in the text file.
Step 4. Execute the Show Calibration (SHO C) command to retrieve the relay calibration
settings.
Use the following Show commands to retrieve the relay settings: SHO G, SHO 1,
SHO L 1, SHO 2, SHO L 2, SHO 3, SHO L 3, SHO 4, SHO L 4, SHO 5, SHO L 5,
SHO 6, SHO L 6, SHO P 1, SHO P 2, SHO P 3, SHO P F, SHO R, and SHO T.
Note: Settings classes can vary among SEL relays. See the relay instruction manual
for a listing.
Step 5. From the Transfer menu in HyperTerminal, select Capture Text and click Stop.
The computer saves the text file you created to the directory you specified in
Step 2
under Backup Relay Settings.
Step 6. Write down the present relay data transmission setting (SPEED).
This setting is SPEED in the SHO P relay settings output. The SPEED value should
be the same as the value you recorded in A. Prepare the Relay on page
B-2.
D. Start SEL
BOOT
Step 1. Find and record the firmware identification string (FID).
a. From the File menu, choose Properties.
b. Select the Settings tab in the Properties dialog box (Figure B.4).
c. Click ASCII Setup.
You should see a dialog box similar to
Figure B.8.
d. Under ASCII Receiving, select the check box to Append line feeds to
incoming line ends.
