Connecting EnerVista 750/760 Setup to the Relay

Before starting, verify that the serial cable is properly connected to either the RS232
port on the front panel of the device (for RS232 communications) or to the RS485
terminals on the back of the device (for RS485 communications). See Hardware on
page 4–10 for connection details.
This example demonstrates an RS232 connection. For RS485 communications, the
GE Multilin F485 converter will be required. Refer to the F485 manual for additional
details. To configure the relay for Ethernet communications, see Configuring
Ethernet Communications on page 4–16.
