3-4 F60 Feeder Management Relay GE Multilin3.1 DESCRIPTION 3 HARDWARE33.1.2 MODULE WITHDRAWAL AND INSERTIONModule withdrawal and insertion may only be performed when control power has been removed from theunit. Inserting an incorrect module type into a slot may result in personal injury, damage to the unit or con-nected equipment, or undesired operation!Proper electrostatic discharge protection (i.e. a static strap) must be used when coming in contact withmodules while the relay is energized!The relay, being modular in design, allows for the withdrawal and insertion of modules. Modules must only be replaced withlike modules in their original factory configured slots. The faceplate can be opened to the left, once the sliding latch on theright side has been pushed up, as shown below. This allows for easy accessibility of the modules for withdrawal.Figure 3–5: UR MODULE WITHDRAWAL/INSERTION• MODULE WITHDRAWAL: The ejector/inserter clips, located at the top and bottom of each module, must be pulledsimultaneously to release the module for removal. Before performing this action, control power must be removedfrom the relay. Record the original location of the module to ensure that the same or replacement module is insertedinto the correct slot. Modules with current input provide automatic shorting of external CT circuits.• MODULE INSERTION: Ensure that the correct module type is inserted into the correct slot position. The ejector/inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of each module must be in the disengaged position as the module issmoothly inserted into the slot. Once the clips have cleared the raised edge of the chassis, engage the clips simulta-neously. When the clips have locked into position, the module will be fully inserted.All CPU modules except the 9E are equipped with 10Base-T or 10Base-F Ethernet connectors. These connectorsmust be individually disconnected from the module before it can be removed from the chassis.The version 4.0 release of the F60 relay includes new hardware (CPU and CT/VT modules). The new CPU mod-ules are specified with the following order codes: 9E, 9G, 9H, 9J, 9K, 9L, 9M, 9N, 9P, 9R. The new CT/VT modulesare specified with the following order codes: 8F, 8G, 8H, 8J.The new CT/VT modules (8F, 8G, 8H, 8J) can only be used with new CPUs (9E, 9G, 9H, 9J, 9K, 9L, 9M, 9N, 9P,9R); similarly, old CT/VT modules (8A, 8B, 8C, 8D) can only be used with old CPUs (9A, 9C, 9D). To prevent hard-ware mismatches, the new modules have blue labels and a warning sticker stating “Attn.: Ensure CPU and DSPmodule label colors are the same!”. In the event that there is a mismatch between the CPU and CT/VT module,the relay will not function and a DSP ERROR or HARDWARE MISMATCH error will be displayed.All other input/output modules are compatible with the new hardware. Firmware versions 4.0x and higher are onlycompatible with the new CPU and CT/VT modules. Previous versions of the firmware (3.4x and earlier) are onlycompatible with the older CPU and CT/VT modules.WARNINGWARNINGNOTENOTE
