1.3.1  System requirements
The relay front panel or the EnerVista 650 Setup software can be used to communica te with the relay. The software 
interface is the preferred method to edit settings and view  actual values because the computer monitor can display more 
information.
The minimum system requirements for the EnerVista 650 Setup software are as follows:

Refer to Chapter 3. Hardware for detailed mounting and wiring instructions.
1.4.2  650 communications
The Enervista 650 Setup software communica tes with the relay via the faceplate  USB port in hardware 04 (E in order code) 
or RS232 port or the rear RS485/Ethernet ports. To communicate via the faceplate  RS232 port, a standard “straight-
through” serial cable is used. The...

1.4 650 HARDWARE CHAPTER 1:  GETTING STARTED
As a general rule, terminals labeled “A” should be connected to terminals “-“, and terminals “B” to “+”. The GND terminal 
should be connected to the common wire inside the shield, when provided. Otherwise, it should be connected to the shield. 
Each relay should also be daisy chained to the next relay in the system. A maximum of 32 relays can be connected in this 
manner without exceeding driver capability; for...

1.4.4  Maintenance
1.4.4.1  General maintenance
The F650 requires minimum maintenance once it is commission ed into service. F650 is a microprocessor based relay and 
its characteristics do not change over time; as such no further functional tests are required. While the F650 performs 
continual self-tests, it is recommended that maintenance be  scheduled with other system maintenance. This maintenance 
can involve...
