 Initial Checkout 3

Initial Checkout
Before installing the SEL-2600A, perform an initial checkout to assure successful
power up using the steps outlined below:
Step 1. Connect Terminal 26 to an appropriate ground.
Step 2. Apply line power to the SEL-2600A at one of the following
terminal combinations:
➢ 120 Vac—Terminal 23 is Hot and Terminal 24 is Neutral
➢ 240 Vac—Terminal 23 is Hot and Terminal 25 is Neutral
The SEL-2600A will power up and perform internal diagnostics.
The module is ready when the green ENABLED LED illuminates
(allow as much as 25 seconds maximum).
Step 3. Verify that the red TX LED pulses approximately every 0.6 second
(less than 0.75 second maximum).
Each pulse corresponds to the transmission of RTD data, device
status, and contact input status.
Step 4. Connect Terminal 20 to Terminal 21 to test the contact input.
The red INPUT LED illuminates when the contact input is
electrically shorted.
The unit is now ready for installation.

 4 Installation

Installation
Physical Location
Proper placement of the SEL-2600A helps make certain that you receive years of
trouble-free operation.
The SEL-2600A is EN 61010-1 rated at Installation/Overvoltage Category II and
Pollution Degree 3. This rating specifies mounting the SEL-2600A indoors or in
an outdoor (extended) enclosure where it is protected against exposure to direct
sunlight, precipitation, and full wind pressure, but where neither temperature nor
humidity are controlled. For corrosive environment applications, be sure to mount
the RTD scanner to a vertical surface.
You can operate the SEL-2600A in a wide temperature and humidity range. See
Specifications on page 28. The altitude rating for the SEL-2600A is 2000 m
(6560 ft) above mean sea level.

Power Connections
The power terminals are isolated from the chassis ground. Use 1.5 mm2 (16 AWG)
size or heavier wire to connect to the power terminals. Connection to external
power must comply with IEC 60947-1 and IEC 60947-3.
Install an external switch, circuit breaker, or overcurrent device (fuse) in the power
leads for the SEL-2600A; this device must be able to isolate both hot and neutral
power leads. The maximum current rating for the device must be 20 A. Be sure to
locate this device within 3.0 m (9.8 ft) of the RTD module.
Provide appropriate protection to power supply terminals for protection against
electrical shock.
Operational power is internally fused with a power supply fuse. See Specifications
on page 28 for power supply and fuse ratings. Be sure to use fuses that comply
with IEC 60127-2.

 Installation 5

Installation Steps
! CAUTION
Do not connect external voltages to the contact input. Permanent damage to the
product or external equipment can result from connecting external voltage to a
contact input because the contact input is internally wetted.

Step 1. Locate an appropriate mounting panel or enclosure near the

protected device.
Step 2. Drill four mounting holes (see Figure 9 on page 27).
Step 3. Secure the SEL-2600A using the four bolts and locknuts
provided.
Step 4. Ground the SEL-2600A by connecting Terminal 26 to an
appropriate electrical ground.
Step 5. Connect as many as 12 RTDs to the SEL-2600A terminal blocks
(see Figure 8 on page 26).
The SEL-2600A supports shielded three-lead RTDs, providing
terminals for +, –, and return (RTN) leads. The return lead provides
a means for lead-resistance compensation. For best
lead-resistance compensation, all three leads should be the same
length and wire gauge. Maximum lead resistance is 25 ohms. Use
0.082 mm2 (18 AWG) to 0.021 mm2 (24 AWG) wire gauge for
the leads. Belden 8771 or similar cable is recommended. Cable
shield should be connected to ground at the SEL-2600A (use the
RTN terminal for shield grounding).
➢ Performance to all specifications is guaranteed only when
using shielded RTD cables (twisted leads) no longer than
10 meters.
➢ While RTD cables longer than 10 meters can be used,
conformance to IEC 60255-22-1 and IEC 60255-22-5 is
no longer assured.
Step 6. Record the type and location of each RTD in Table 1 on page 8.
Step 7. Connect a dry contact to the SEL-2600A contact input
Terminals 20 and 21 as appropriate. The contact is internally
wetted at 8 Vdc.

SEL Communications Processor Applications

Use the SEL-2600A (V-pin option) in combination with an SEL-2032 or
SEL-2030 Communications Processor to enhance many protection and monitoring
applications. The communications processor monitors temperature data from the
SEL-2600A, performs threshold comparisons, and sends control commands to a
protective relay.
The application shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 on page 15 represent a few of the
possible configurations using the SEL-2600A and an SEL communications
processor. Contact SEL for help in applying these products in other
configurations.
Program an SEL communications processor to perform four automated steps:
Step 1. Receive temperature data from the SEL-2600A.
Step 2. Store the temperature data in memory.
Step 3. Perform temperature threshold comparisons.
Step 4. Issue control commands to a protective relay based on the
temperature comparisons.
The next few pages describe how to configure an SEL communications processor
to perform the four automated steps shown above. It is assumed that the
SEL-2600A is connected to Serial Port 4 of an SEL communications processor.
Refer to the instruction manual for your SEL communications processor for
further information on programming concepts.

The USER setting reserves a data region with 54 registers. Each register is 2 bytes
for a total length of 108 bytes. This data region holds the received data packet and
mathematical equations for threshold comparisons.
An SEL communications processor automatically moves the data section of each
received data packet (see Table 4 on page 23) into the reserved USER data region
at the addresses shown in Table 3 on page 18.
The SEL-2600A data packet includes temperature information for each of the four
types of RTDs. To access the correct temperature, use the memory map location
associated with the correct RTD type.
Data from the USER region can be accessed using an absolute address or in the
form n:USER:offset where n is the port number and offset is the value shown in the
offset column of Table 3 on page 18. For example, access the RTD 2, 10-ohm
copper data using the absolute address F80Ah or the offset form 4:USER:0Ah.
The examples in the remainder of this section use the offset form.

Perform Temperature Threshold Comparisons

The example communications processor settings shown below compare the
measured temperature of RTD 2 (10-ohm copper) against a threshold of 28°C. If
the measured temperature is valid (i.e., the RTD is not shorted or open) and is
above the threshold, Bit 0 of register 035H is set equal to 1. Serial Port 4 is again
assumed.

Line 1: Stores the temperature threshold in register 033h.
Line 2: Copies the threshold to register 034h in preparation for Line 3.
Line 3: Subtracts the measured RTD temperature from the threshold and
stores the result in register 034h. If the result is negative, the
measured RTD temperature is above the threshold and Bit 15 (the

Line 4: Copies the sign bit (Bit 15) of 034h into Bit 0 of 035h.
Line 5: Clears Bit 0 of 35h if RTD is shorted.

Issue Control Commands to Relay

Connect an SEL communications processor to the protective relay. Establish
communications as outlined in the SEL communications processor and the
protective relay instruction manuals.
Use the SET P command to set AUTO_CONFIG equal to Y. This enables
automatic control capabilities for the serial port connected to the relay. Use the
SET A command to set SEND_OPER equal to Y. This enables Fast Operate
commands based on logic bit transitions. Use the SET L command to control four
breakers using Fast Operate commands based on the result of a single temperature
comparison.

The following example settings assume the relay is connected to an SEL

Communications Processor Serial Port 10, and the SEL-2600A is connected to
Serial Port 4.

The example can be modified to control each breaker based on separate

temperature thresholds. The section titled Perform Temperature Threshold
Comparisons on page 16 shows how to program an SEL communications
processor for multiple temperature comparisons. Use the comparisons along with
the following settings to control Breaker 1 and Breaker 2.

SBR1 = 4:USER:35h:0 #If RTD 2 > 28 degrees C open breaker 1 <Enter>

CBR1 = 0 <Enter>
SBR2 = 4:USER:38h:0 #If RTD 12 > 31 degrees C open breaker 2 <Enter>

 Data Packet Definition 23

Data Packet Definition

The SEL-2600A sends a binary data packet approximately every 0.6 seconds
(0.75 second maximum). The packet contains data for all four supported RTD
types, so no settings are required in the SEL-2600A. With the SEL-2600A (V-pin
option) and the SEL-2800 Fiber-Optic Transceiver any EIA-232 device can be
configured to process the binary data packet contents shown in Table 4.
