Before establishing the communication with a F650 unit through the front serial port, please ensure that the computer is
grounded.
In case of using a laptop, it is recommended not to have it connected to its power supply. The reason for this is that in many
cases it might not be correctly grounded either due to the power supply or to the connector cables used.
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 either 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.
