Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the GE UR6AV is unavailable or discontinued, the following modules may serve as functional equivalents or drop-in replacements depending on your chassis configuration and firmware version:
- GE UR6AV-0X – Variant with alternate output configuration; verify relay contact ratings
- GE UR6BV – Higher-density I/O module in the same UR6 slot family
- GE UR6CV – Analog/Digital combo module; suitable if mixed I/O is acceptable
- GE UR6DV – Direct digital output expansion; confirm input count requirements
- GE UR7AV / UR7BV – UR7 chassis equivalents for newer platform migrations
- Schweitzer SEL-2505 – Third-party remote I/O module; requires protocol adapter for UR integration
⚠ Selection Note: Slot compatibility, firmware revision, and chassis type (UR6 vs UR7) must be confirmed before substitution. Contact Konmask for pre-sales compatibility verification.
Why Choose the Original Model
- Guaranteed slot compatibility – Designed specifically for GE UR Series chassis backplane
- Firmware-native integration – No additional configuration or protocol bridging required
- IEC 61850 certified – Meets substation automation communication standards out of the box
- Long-term support – GE Multilin provides firmware updates and technical documentation
- Proven field reliability – Widely deployed in utility-grade protection systems globally
Typical Applications
- Power system protection relay I/O expansion (transmission & distribution)
- Substation automation and SCADA integration
- Motor protection and control systems
- Generator protection panels
- Industrial PLC and DCS hybrid control architectures
- Feeder protection and bay controller systems
System Compatibility
The UR6AV module is compatible with the following GE Multilin UR Series relay platforms:
- GE C60 – Breaker Protection System
- GE D60 – Line Distance Protection System
- GE F60 – Feeder Protection System
- GE G60 – Generator Protection System
- GE L90 – Line Differential Protection System
- GE T60 – Transformer Protection System
- GE M60 – Motor Protection System
Chassis slot position and firmware version compatibility should be verified with GE Multilin documentation or Konmask’s technical team prior to ordering.
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to determine whether the GE UR6AV is the correct module for your application:
- Step 1 – Identify your chassis: Confirm UR6 or UR7 series chassis. UR6AV is designed for UR6 slots.
- Step 2 – Count I/O requirements: Verify the number of digital inputs and outputs needed per slot.
- Step 3 – Check relay type: Confirm whether Form-A (NO) or Form-C (NO/NC) outputs are required.
- Step 4 – Verify firmware: Ensure your relay firmware supports the UR6AV module revision.
- Step 5 – Confirm voltage rating: Match input voltage range (24 VDC / 48 VDC / 125 VDC) to your field wiring.
- Step 6 – Consult Konmask: If uncertain, send your existing module part number and relay model to support@konmask.com for a free compatibility check.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use a UR6BV instead of the UR6AV?
A: Potentially yes, if the I/O count and relay output type of the UR6BV match your application. Slot form factor is the same, but firmware must support the substitution. Contact us to verify.
Q: Is the UR6AV still in production?
A: GE Multilin periodically updates the UR platform. Availability varies. Konmask maintains surplus stock and can source from authorized channels. Inquire for current stock status.
Q: What is the difference between UR6AV and UR7AV?
A: The UR7AV belongs to the newer UR7 chassis generation with enhanced processing and communication capabilities. They are not directly interchangeable without chassis migration.
Q: Do you provide a warranty?
A: Yes. New units carry the manufacturer’s warranty. Refurbished units carry a 90-day Konmask functional warranty. Terms available on request.
Q: Can you help me identify the correct replacement if my module is damaged?
A: Yes. Send photos and your relay model number to support@konmask.com and our engineers will recommend the best replacement option.
