3.3.4  Alarms
The alarms screen provides access to alarms configured in the relay. As in the case of snapshot events and control events, 
this screen allows only to view the alarms, but not to acknowledge them.

3.3.5  Oscillography
The oscillography screen allows obtaining from the relay available oscillography records in that moment.
This screen includes two windows. The first window shows oscillography records available in the relay, identified by an 
index, being the highest index the most recent record  (oscillography record No 6 in the example below).
Figure 3-43: Oscillography screen
If the user clicks on the oscillography record he wants to  retrieve, the window on the right shows a description of the 
record header, indicating its da te, time, and the most relevant parameters of th e record. Once a record is selected, it is 
required to press the Download button. The system then opens a window to allow saving the files in Comtrade format on 
the PC hard drive. Once the records have been saved, the sy stem asks if the user wants to open GE-OSC tool (Comtrade 
record viewer) to view the downloaded files.

3.3.6  Fault report
The fault report screen provides access to the last 10 fault reports obtained by the relay. These records are stored 
according to an index that marks their position among all records produced in the relay, with a range from 1 to 999, 
returning to 1 in case of exceeding the limit of 999. As in th e case of oscillography records, the highest index corresponds 
to the most recent record.
In the fault report, oscillography and data logger screens, the  system requests acceptance of a safety-warning message.
Figure 3-45: Fault report screen
The information provided in this screen includes the date and time when the fault was registered, fault calculations such 
as distance to the fault, type of fault, date and time, and the line parameters, as well as the recloser and breaker status 
during the fault.
This screen shows also prefault and fault voltage and current primary values. At the top of the screen, associated with the 
trigger event number there is a button labeled as INFO. This button displays at the bottom of the screen the events 
produced before and after the fault report trigger, so that the user has very useful information about the moment when 
the fault was produced.
To obtain a text file with all the fault report information, press the Download option and save the file in the computer.

4.2 CHANGING PASSWORDS CHAPTER 4:  SECURITY
4.2  Changing passwords
Users are prompted to change their password after the first successful log in or through clicking Security from the toolbar, and choose Change Password.
Figure 4-1: Change security
When the operator enters a new password for the first time, he/she should also enter a personal question that only they 
can answer. There is a limit of 50 characters available to enter the personal question. One example, as in the above 
diagram, would be What is my mothers maiden name?. This question is posed to the user if the user forgets their 
password and would like to know what their password was.

4.3  Enabling security
EnerVista 650 Setup Security Control is disabled by default. Users dont have to log in through user name and password 
after installation and are granted access as Administrator. 
Security Control can be enabled through Security from the tool bar when logged on as an Administrator. Click 
User Management:

BOOTCODE AND FIRMWARE UPGRADE
5.1  Firmware upgrade versions below 7.00.
This section explains how to upgrade the F650 boot code and firmware for version below 7.00. 
The boot code and firmware versions can be seen in the relay main screen: The relay firmware version appears after the 
text “F650“(5.70 in Figure 5-1: Main screen) with the boot program version (6.00 in Figure 5-1: Main screen) followed by 
“GENERAL ELECTRIC”, the relay model and the default front RS232/USB port communication parameters.

It is mandatory to maintain version compatibility between fi rmware and boot code in the upgrade procedure, otherwise 
the relay does not start after upgrading.

NOTICE
A STEP LIST SUMMARY that allows the user to control the upgrading process is included at the end of this section. It is 
necessary to read paragraphs 1 to 4 of chapter 9 of manual GEK-106310 before accomplishing the F650 UPGRADE 
PROCEDURE.
Be aware that boot program and firmware upgrades erase all data  contained in the relay, thus it is advisable to save all 
data, oscillography, events, settings and configuration files before proceeding.
RELAYS WITH FIBER OPTIC ETHERNET
The upgrade of the boot program (BOOTCODE) must be perf ormed by crossed Ethernet copper cable connected to the
PC. It is not necessary to change the internal switch from fiber to RJ45, because the upgrade is made at 10Mb/s.
This does not apply to the firmware upgrade, which can be done either via Ethernet Fiber connection, or through the
RJ45 cable connection.
For upgrading firmware versions lower than 3.20 or upgradin g bootware, be aware to calibrate the unit offset, after 
upgrading it, in Communication > Calibration > Offset Calibration. No analog currents nor analog voltages must be 
injected in the unit during this process.
