ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT
How to use this guide
This guide describes how to install the D400 and get it up and running for the first time.
Procedures are provided for all component options available for the D400. The
components included in your D400 depend on what was ordered for your substation
application. Follow only the procedures that apply to your D400 model. To check what
options are included in your D400, see See “Ordering guide” on page 22.
The software-related procedures in this guide are based on using a computer running
Windows®XP. Some steps and dialog boxes may vary slightly if you are using another
version of Windows.
Safety words and definitions
Before attempting to install or use the device, review all safety indicators in this document
to help prevent injury, equipment damage or downtime.
The following safety and equipment symbols are used in this document:
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or
moderate injury.
Indicates practices that are not related to personal injury.

Chapter 1: Before You Start
Befo re You St art
Before you begin installing and using the D400TM, review the information in this chapter,
including the following topics:
• Safety precautions
• Regulatory compliance information
•Productoverview
• Product specifications
•Approvals
• Storage recommendations
Read and thoroughly understand this guide before installing and operating the unit. Save
these instructions for later use and reference.
Failure to observe the instructions in this manual may result in serious injury or death.
Safety precautions
Follow all safety precautions and instructions in this manual.
Only qualified personnel should work on the D400. Maintenance personnel should be
familiar with the technology and the hazards associated with electrical equipment.
•Never work alone.
• Before performing visual inspections, tests, or maintenance on this equipment, isolate
or disconnect all hazardous live circuits and sources of electric power. Assume that all
circuits are live until they have been completely de-energized, tested, and tagged. Pay
particular attention to the design of the power system. Consider all sources of power,
including the possibility of back feed.
• Turn off all power supplying the equipment in which the D400 is to be installed before
installing and wiring the D400.
• Operate only from the power source specified on the installed power supply module.
• Beware of potential hazards and wear personal protective equipment.

16 GE INFORMATION D400 SUBSTATION GATEWAY INSTRUCTION MANUAL
CHAPTER 1: BEFORE YOU START
• The successful operation of this equipment depends upon proper handling,
installation, and operation. Neglecting fundamental installation requirements may
lead to personal injury as well as damage to electrical equipment or other property.
• All AC voltage terminals are protected from accidental contact by a mechanical safety
shield.
• All electronic components within the D400 are susceptible to damage from
electrostatic discharge. To prevent damage when handling this product use approved
static control procedures.
• Hazardous voltages can cause shock, burns or death. To prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages, disconnect and lock out all power sources before servicing and
removing components.
• If the D400 is used in a manner not specified in this manual, the protection provided
by the equipment may be impaired.
• Changes or modifications made to the unit not authorized by GE Grid Solutions could
void the warranty.
Warning symbols
Table 1 explains the meaning of warning symbols that may appear on the D400 or in this
manual.
Table 1: Warning symbols that appear on the D400 and in this manual
The relevant circuit is direct current.
The relevant circuit is alternating current.
Caution: Refer to the documentation for important operation and
maintenance instructions. Failure to take or avoid specified actions
could result in loss of data or physical damage.
Warning: Dangerous voltage constituting risk of electric shock is
present within the unit. Failure to take or avoid specified actions
could result in physical harm to the user.

D400 SUBSTATION GATEWAY INSTRUCTION MANUAL GE INFORMATION 17
Regulatory compliance information
CE Mark compliance
The D400 is rated as CISPR 11 Group 1 Class “A” equipment.
NOTE
To provide higher EMC immunity and maintain CE Mark compliance, the serial cables used
for permanent RS-232 and RS-485 connections must comply with the following
requirements:
• Cables must be shielded
• D type connector covers must provide EMC shielding (e.g. metallized plastic or die cast
metal covers) for permanently connected RS-232 cables
Class “A” equipment is intended for use in an industrial environment. The equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with these instructions, may cause interference to other devices in the vicinity.
If this equipment does cause interference with other devices, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving device
• Increase the separation between the equipment
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
other device(s) is connected
• Consult the manufacturer or field service technician for help
Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)
The environmental protection use period (EPUP), as defined in PRC SJ/T11363-
2006, for the D400 hardware assemblies listed in Table 2, is in excess of 20
years.

D400 SUBSTATION GATEWAY INSTRUCTION MANUAL GE INFORMATION 19
Product overview
The D400 Substation Gateway is a secure, substation hardened and CE Marked
communications gateway that collects metering, status, event and fault report data from
intelligent electronic devices (IEDs). It summarizes the data from devices and makes it
available to a master station or host computer over standard SCADA protocols. TCP/IP
network connections are supported over the built-in 10/100 MB Ethernet interface and
dial-up (external modem required).
The D400 comes with a built-in human machine interface (HMI)/annunciator as part of the
base software. A Local HMI can be accessed through the Keyboard, Video, Mouse
interface. A full featured substation HMI is accessed using a standard Web browser (HTTP/
HTTPS) network connection. The D400 is configured “online” through a standard Web
browser.
Functional overview
The data flow managed by a D400 is shown in Figure 1. The D400 communicates data with
the:
• Control Center which can comprise an EMS (Enterprise Management System) or a DMS
(Distribution Management System) SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)
system.
• IEDs (Intelligent Electronic Devices) to monitor and control field inputs and outputs.
