Installation
The first steps in applying the relay are installing and connecting the relay.
This section describes common installation features and particular installation
requirements for the many physical configurations of the relay. You can order
the relay in horizontal and vertical orientations, and in panel-mount and
rack-mount versions. SEL also provides various expansion I/O (input/output)
interface boards to tailor the relay to your specific needs.
To install and connect the relay safely and effectively, you must be familiar
with relay configuration features and options and relay jumper configuration.
You should carefully plan relay placement, cable connection, and relay
communication. Consider the following when installing the relay:

Front-Panel
Templates
The horizontal front-panel template shown in Figure 2.1 is the same for all
4U, 5U, and 6U horizontal versions of the relay. The vertical front-panel
template (shown in Figure 2.1) is the same for all 4U, 5U, and 6U vertical
versions of the relay.
The relay front panel has three pockets for slide-in labels: one pocket for the
target LED label, and two pockets for the operator control labels. Figure 2.1
shows the front-panel pocket areas and openings for typical horizontal and
