Link a Protective Instrument Loop Final Element

IMPORTANT: If you modify a Protective Instrument Loop Element that is linked to more than one loop, the changes that you have made are reflected in all the associated loops.

Note: Linking a Protective Instrument Loop Final Element alters the calculations for the loop. Therefore, you must verify the calculations again.

Steps

Access the Protective Instrument Loop Final Element to which you want to replace.
In the upper-right corner of the datasheet, select Link.

The Search window appears.
In the upper-right corner of the window, select .

A list of Protective Instrument Loop Final Elements appears.
Select the check box that corresponds to the Final Element that you want to link, and then select OK.

-or-

If the Protective Instrument Loop Final Element that you want to replace is not linked to any other loop, a message appears, indicating that the Protective Instrument Loop Final Element will be deleted. Select OK.

The original Protective Instrument Loop Final Element is replaced by the one that you have selected.

Results

The existing Protective Instrument Loop Final Element is replaced by the one that you have linked. If the existing Final Element is not a part of another loop, then the record is deleted. Otherwise, the record is unlinked from the loop.
Linking a record alters the calculations for the loop. The GE Digital APM system performs the calculations again.
