1.2 ENERVISTA MII SETUP SOFTWARE 1 GETTING STARTED
11.2ENERVISTA MII SETUP SOFTWARE 1.2.1 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The ENERVISTA MII SETUP software interface is the preferred method to edit settings and view actual values because the
PC monitor can display more information in a simple comprehensible format.
The following minimum requirements must be met for the ENERVISTA MII SETUP software to properly operate on a PC:
• Pentium® class or higher processor (Pentium® II 300 MHz or higher recommended)
• Windows® NT 4.0 (Service Pack 3 or higher), Windows® 2000, Windows® XP
• Internet Explorer® 5.0 or higher
• 64 MB of RAM (128 MB recommended)
• 40 MB of available space on system drive and 40 MB of available space on installation drive
• RS232C serial and Ethernet port for communications to the relay
1.2.2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The ground screw shown in the following figure must be correctly grounded.
Figure 1–2: GROUNDING SCREWS LOCATION
If you want to communicate with the relay using a computer through the front serial port, please ensure that the computer
is grounded to the same ground as the relay.
In case of using a portable computer, it is recommended to not have it connected to its power supply, as in many cases
they are not correctly grounded either due to the power supply itself or to the connector cables used. Powering the
portable PC with its internal battery drastically decreases the possibility of producing permanent damage to the computer
or the relay. Beware of the possibility of losing communication in firmware change processes
This is required not only for personal protection, but also for avoiding a voltage difference between the relay
serial port and the computer port, which could produce permanent damage to the computer or the relay.
GE Multilin will not be responsible for any damage in the relay or connected equipment whenever this elemental
safety rule is not followed.
In case of a firmware flashing process, due to the risk of losing communication, GE Multilin will not be
responsible in case of a communication failure if the relay and PC are not grounded to the same point.

1.2.3 INSTALLATION
After ensuring the minimum requirements for using EnerVista MII Setup are met (see previous section), use the following
procedure to install the EnerVista MII Setup from the enclosed GE EnerVista CD.
1. Insert the GE EnerVista CD into your CD-ROM drive.
2. Click the Install Now button and follow the installation instructions to install the no-charge EnerVista software.
3. When installation is complete, start the EnerVista Launchpad application.
4. Click the IED Setup section of the Launch Pad window.

1.3MII RELAY FAMILY HARDWARE 1.3.1 MOUNTING & WIRING
Please refer to the HARDWARE chapter for detailed relay mounting and wiring instructions. Review all WARNINGS and
CAUTIONS.
1.3.2 COMMUNICATIONS
The ENERVISTA MII SETUP software can communicate to the relay via the faceplate RS232 port, or the rear panel RS485
port. To communicate with the relay via the RS232 port, a standard “straight through” serial cable is used. The DB9 male
end is connected to the relay and the DB9 or DB25 female end is connected to the PC COM1 or COM2 port as described
in the HARDWARE chapter.
To communicate with the relay’s RS485 port from a computer’s RS232 port, a RS232/RS485 converter box is required. GE
Multilin offers F485, DAC300 and RS232/485 converters. This converter box is connected to the computer using a “straight
through” serial cable. A shielded twisted pair (20, 22 or 24 AWG; 0.25, 0.34 or 0.5 mm2) cable is used to connect the
converter box to the relay rear communication terminals. The converter box (-, +, GND) terminals are connected to the
relay (SDA, SDB, GND) terminals respectively. For long communication cables (longer than 1 km), the RS485 circuit must
be terminated in a RC network (i.e. 120 ohm, 1 nF) as described in the HARDWARE chapter.
1.3.3 FACEPLATE KEYPAD & DISPLAY
Display messages are organized into menus under the main headings: Actual Values, Main Settings, Advanced Settings,
Operations and Change Date&Time. A 5-key keypad and a 16x2 character LCD display (shown below) are used as
elementary local HMI.

Figure 1–14: MOVING THROUGH THE HIERARCHICAL MENU
As shown in Figure 1–14:, there are 3 hierarchical levels to access the information in the relay. The first level (Main screen)
shows the current value for each phase (Idiff1, Idiff2, Idiff3)
Pressing the Menu button accesses the second level. To access information within the same hierarchical level (horizontal
movement), push the up/down arrow buttons. To access the third level push the “Enter” button when the desired heading is
shown in the display.
To return back to the previous level (from the third to the second level, or from the second to the first one), push the “ESC/
RESET” button.
Refer to chapter 7, for more information on the use of the local keypad and display to access information and change
settings.
