Basic Relay Operations
Making Simple Settings Changes
When you exit settings entry from the
SET
commands, the relay responds with
Save settings (Y,N)?
. If you answer
Y <Enter>
, the relay writes the new set-
tings to nonvolatile storage. If you answer
N <Enter>
, the relay discards any set-
tings changes you have made.
Making Settings Changes in Initial Global Settings
You must configure SEL-400 series relays for specific conditions found in the
power system where you are connecting the relay. For example, in most SEL-400
series relays you must set the nominal frequency and phase rotation.
The procedure in the following steps assumes that you have successfully estab-
lished communication with the relay; see
Making an EIA-232 Serial Port Con-
for a step-by-step procedure. In addition, you must be
familiar with relay access levels and passwords. See
words in the Terminal on page 3.10
to change the default access level passwords.
This example jumps to a Global setting that is not at the beginning of the Global
settings list. Thus, you enter
SET G
, the setting name, and
<Enter>
. To start at
the beginning of the Global settings, simply type
SET G <Enter>
without a set-
tings name.
Step 1. Prepare to control the relay at Access Level 2.
a. Using a communications terminal, type
ACC <Enter>
.
b. Type the Access Level 1 password and press
<Enter>
.
You will see the Access Level 1 => prompt.

value
and move to the next setting if valid; if at the last set-
ting, exit settings.
^ <Enter>
Move to the previous setting; if at the top of settings, stay at the present setting.
< <Enter>
