Note
Ensure that all ground paths are un-compromised for safety purposes during device
operation and service.
All recommended equipment should be grounded and must have a reliable and un-
compromised grounding path for safety purposes, protection against electromagnetic
interference and proper device operation.
Equipment grounds should be bonded together and connected to the facility's main
ground system for primary power.
Keep all ground leads as short as possible.
In addition to the safety precautions mentioned all electrical connections made must
respect the applicable local jurisdiction electrical code.
It is recommended that a field external switch, circuit breaker be connected near the
equipment as a means of power disconnect. The external switch or circuit breaker is
selected in accordance with the power rating.
Ensure that the control power applied to the device, the AC current, and voltage input
match the ratings specified on the relay nameplate. Do not apply current or voltage in
excess of the specified limits.
Only qualified personnel are able to operate the device. Such personnel must be
thoroughly familiar with all safety cautions and warnings in this manual and with
applicable country, regional, utility, and plant safety regulations.
Hazardous voltages can exist in the power supply and at the device connection to
current transformers, voltage transformers, control, and test circuit terminals. Make
sure all sources of such voltages are isolated prior to attempting work on the device.
Hazardous voltages can exist when opening the secondary circuits of live current
transformers. Make sure that current transformer secondary circuits are shorted out
before making or removing any connection to the current transformer (CT) input
terminals of the device.
For tests with secondary test equipment, ensure that no other sources of voltages or
currents are connected to such equipment and that trip and close commands to the
circuit breakers or other switching apparatus are isolated, unless this is required by
the test procedure and is specified by appropriate utility/plant procedure.
When the device is used to control primary equipment, such as circuit breakers,
isolators, and other switching apparatus, all control circuits from the device to the
primary equipment must be isolated while personnel are working on or around this
primary equipment to prevent any inadvertent command from this device.
Use external disconnect equipment to isolate the mains voltage supply.
To ensure the settings file inside the relay is updated, wait 30 seconds after a setpoint
change before cycling power.
This product is rated to Class A emissions levels and is to be used in Utility, Substation
Industrial environments. Not to be used near electronic devices rated for Class B levels.
