Getting Started
IMPORTANT: Upon relay initial
power up or Port 1 setting changes or
Logic setting changes, the user may
have to wait as long as two minutes
before an additional setting change
can occur. Note that the relay is
functional with protection enabled, as
soon as the ENABLED LED comes ON
(about 5–10 seconds from power up).
Understanding basic relay operation principles and methods will help you use
the SEL-787 effectively. This section presents the fundamental knowledge
you need to operate the SEL-787, organized by task. These tasks help you
become familiar with the relay and include the following:
➤ Powering the relay
➤ Establishing communication
➤ Checking relay status
➤ Setting the date and time
Perform these tasks to gain a fundamental understanding of relay operation.
Powering the Relay
Power the SEL-787 with 125/250 Vac/dc or 24/48 Vdc, depending on the part
number.
