Basic Relay Operations
Checking Relay Status
Checking Relay Status
With continual self-testing, the SEL-421 Relay monitors the internal operation
of all circuits to verify optimal performance of relay functions. If an internal
circuit, protection algorithm, or automation algorithm enters an out-of-
tolerance operating range, the relay reports a status warning. In the unlikely
event that an internal failure occurs, the relay reports a status failure. For more
information on relay status, see
Relay Self-Tests on page U.6.37 in the User’s
.
You can check relay status through a communications port by using a
terminal, terminal emulation computer program, or the
AC
SEL
ERATOR
software. In addition, you can use the relay front panel to view status
information.
Checking Relay
Status: Terminal
The procedure in the following steps assumes that you have successfully
established communication with the relay; see
for a step-by-step procedure. In addition, you must be
familiar with relay access levels and passwords. See
Passwords: Terminal on page 4.10
to change the default access level
passwords.
Step 1. Prepare to monitor the relay at Access Level 1. Using a
communications terminal, type
ACC<Enter>
. Type the Access
Level 1 password and press
<Enter>
. You will see the =>
action prompt.
Step 2. Type
STA<Enter>
. The relay returns a status terminal screen
similar to that in

Software Program to check relay
status. Use the HMI > Meter Control menu to view status conditions.
