CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION

The Instruction Manual outlines how to install, configure, and use the unit. The Communications Guide is for advanced use
with communication protocols. The warranty is included at the end of this instruction manual and on the GE Grid Solutions
website.
3.2 Panel cutouts
This section does not apply to the HardFiber Brick; see its instruction manual.
Install the relay in an indoor environment within the environmental specifications. The relay complies with Pollution
Category II, which means installation in an office, laboratory, or testing environment.
3.2.1 Horizontal units
The B30 is available as a 19-inch rack horizontal mount unit with a removable front panel. The front panel is specified as
enhanced, standard, or graphical at the time of ordering. The enhanced and graphical front panels contain additional
user-programmable pushbuttons and LED indicators.
The modular design allows the relay to be upgraded and repaired by qualified service personnel. The front panel is hinged
to allow access to the modules. The front panel is itself removable to allow mounting on doors with limited rear depth and
for upgrading.
In November 2017, GE began transitioning to a new enhanced horizontal front panel. This panel can be identified by the
use of a screw instead of a knob to close the panel. It can conform to an IP54 rating with the IP54 mounting collar
purchased separately. The IP54 mounting collar can be used in panel-mount installations, not 19-inch rack-mount
installations. The IP54 mounting collar cannot be used with old enhanced front panels.
The case dimensions are shown in the following figures, along with panel cutout details for panel mounting. When
planning the location of your panel cutout, ensure that provision is made for the front panel to swing open without
interference to or from adjacent equipment.
The relay must be mounted such that the front panel sits semi-flush with the panel or switchgear door, allowing the
operator access to the keypad and the front communications port.
