where
n
= G, R, or P (parameter n is not entered for the Relay settings).
m
= group (1….6) or port (1….3). The relay selects the active group or port if m is not
specified.
s
= the name of the specific setting you wish to jump to and begin setting. If s is not
entered, the relay starts at the first setting.
TERSE
= instructs the relay to skip the
SHOWSET
display after the last setting. Use this
parameter to speed up the
SET
command. If you wish to review the settings before
saving, do not use the
TERSE
option.
When you issue the
SET
command, the relay presents a list of settings, one at a time. Enter a
new setting or press <
ENTER>
to accept the existing setting. Editing keystrokes are shown in

The relay checks each entry to ensure that it is within the setting range. If it is not, an "Out of
Range" message is generated, and the relay prompts for the setting again.
When all the settings are entered, the relay displays the new settings and prompts for approval to

to enable the new settings. If changes are made to Global,
SER, or Port settings (see Table 6.1), the relay is disabled while it saves the new settings. If
changes are made to the Relay or Logic settings for the active setting group (see Table 6.1), the
relay is disabled while it saves the new settings. The ALARM contact closes momentarily (for a
"b" contact, opens for an "a") and the EN LED extinguishes while the relay is disabled. The
relay is disabled for about one second. If Logic settings are changed for the active group, the
relay can be disabled for up to 15 seconds.
If changes are made to the Relay or Logic settings for a setting group other than the active
setting group (see Table 6.1), the relay is not disabled while it saves the new settings. The
ALARM contact closes momentarily (for a "b" contact, opens for an "a") but the EN LED
remains on while the new settings are saved.
