SEL-400 Series Relays Instruction Manual Date Code 20171006
Basic Relay Operations
Access Levels and Passwords
Access Level 0 is the least secure and most limited access level, and Access
Level 2 is the most secure level at which you have total relay functionality
(Level C is reserved for SEL factory operations. Only go to level C to change the
level C password or under the direction of an SEL employee). For example, from
Access Level 1, you can view settings, but you cannot change settings unless you
are at a higher access level.
Table 3.2 lists access levels and operator functions for the relay.
The relay performs command interpretation and execution according to your val-
idated access level. Each access level has a password that the relay must verify
before you can control the relay at that level. Table 3.3 lists the access level com-
mands with corresponding passwords.
