About the UR-7GH
General Electric Multilin’s UR-7GH is a Communications Module that provides two channels for inter-relay communications. The first channel is type G.703, while the second channel functions at 1300 nm and is a single-mode ELED channel.
GE’s UR-7GH removes the need for expensive copper hardwiring that traditionally allows communications between relays, allowing the process to occur through a fiber optic system instead. This can save on both installation costs and wiring complexity, streamlining the system.
While some users may fear the technical software/data transmission issues that can arise with inter-relay communications, the UR-7GH and Universal Relay units are equipped with monitoring and protective capabilities that reduce channel errors and alert users to channel failure when problems do occur. They can also provide comprehensive data on channel health.
The Universal Relays series is built with scalability in mind, making the installation of the UR-7GH module quick and simple. Users can download and refer to installation instructions found in any of the Universal Relays manuals. In short, users need only unclip the existing module, slide it out of the bay, and gently insert the new module until the clips audibly lock into place. The UR-7GH module boasts Plug & Play capabilities so that the module can begin functioning as soon as it is properly installed.
