CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED 1.

1 IMPORTANT PROCEDURES

1.1.1.2 Communication board withdrawal/insertion

MODULE WITHDRAWAL AND INSERTION SHALL ONLY BE PERFORMED BY DULY QUALIFIED

WARNING SERVICE PERSONNEL. FOR PERSONAL SECURITY PURPOSES, BEFORE ACCOMPLISHING ANY
WITHDRAWAL OR INSERTION OPERATION, THE RELAY MUST BE POWERED OFF AND ALL THE REAR
TERMINALS MUST BE POTENTIAL FREE. THE RELAY MUST BE GROUNDED USING THE REAR
GROUNDING SCREW.

The modular design of the relay allows for the withdrawal and insertion of the communication module.
Figure 1-2: Module withdrawal/insertion shows the location of communication modules on the rear part of the relay.
Qualified personnel must carry out the insertion or extraction of the communication boards only after disconnecting the
relay auxiliary voltage and ensuring that all the rear terminals are potential free.
Communication boards are installed on the rear of the unit, with upper port reserved for the asynchronous
communications board and CAN bus, and the lower port for the ETHERNET board. (The Ethernet module can be withdrawn
or inserted only in models with Rear Ethernet Communication Board 2: "B", "C", "D" or "E". For the remaining options,
Ethernet communications are included in the main CPU).

Before performing any of these actions, control power must be removed from the relay and all the rear terminals must
be potential free. A grounded anti static wristband must be used when manipulating the module in order to avoid
electrostatic discharges that may cause damage to the electronic components.
WITHDRAWAL: Loosen the small screws that keep the faceplate in place and extract the module.
INSERTION: Insert the module and press it firmly in the case, until it is completely fixed. After this, bolt the faceplate
screws and replace the control power. Check that the relay is fully operative.

GE Multilin will not be responsible for any damage to the relay, connected equipment or personnel whenever these
safety rules are not followed.
