PURPOSE OF EQUIPMENT
The RFL 9785 is an amplitude modulated ON/OFF powerline carrier transmitting and receiving
terminal. It is an enhanced version of the field-proven technology used in the RFL 6785P. The RFL
9785 offers fully programmable timers, simplifies the setup process and fully complies with
ANSI/IEEE C93.5-1997.
The RFL 9785 was designed for directional comparison blocking applications in high-speed protective
relaying communications. It exhibits a high degree of dependability and maintains relatively high
security.
