Connecting EnerVista SR3 Setup to the relay
Configuring serial
communications
Before starting, verify that the cable is properly connected to either the USB port on the
front panel of the device (for USB communications) or to the RS485 terminals on the back
of the device (for RS485 communications). This example demonstrates an USB 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 below.

the GE Multilin web site). See the previous section for the installation procedure.

Site button to define a new site.
3. Enter the desired site name in the "Site Name" field. If desired, a short description of
the site can also be entered. In this example, we will use “New Site 1” as the site name.
