Additional Information

These instructions cannot cover all details or variations in the equipment, procedures, or process described, nor provide directions for meeting every possible contingency during installation, operation, or maintenance. When additional information is desired to satisfy a problem not covered sufficiently for the user's purpose, please contact your Cooper Power Systems sales representative.

ANSI Standards

Kyle reclosers are designed and tested in accordance with the following ANSI standards: C37.60 and C37.85 and ANSI Guide C37.61.

Quality Standards

ISO 9001:2000-Certified Quality Management System

Acceptance and

Initial Inspection

Each Form 5 control is completely assembled, tested, and inspected at the factory. It is carefully calibrated, adjusted and in good condition when accepted by the carrier for shipment.

Upon receipt, inspect the carton for signs of damage. Unpack the control and inspect it thoroughly for damage incurred during shipment. If damage is discovered, file a claim with the carrier immediately.

Handling and Storage

Be careful during handling and storage of the control to minimize the possibility of damage. If the control is to be stored for any length of time prior to installation, provide a clean, dry storage area. If storage is in a humid atmosphere, make provisions to keep the control circuitry energized.

Note: To energize the control, apply AC power to the AC supply input connector block TB1 located left of the Recloser Interface (RIF) module within the control. Refer to the Customer Connection for AC power section in this manual.

Control Battery Storage and Charging

The 24 Vdc control battery in the Form 5 control is fully charged prior to shipment and is ready for use. In order to maintain sufficient charge to operate the control, the sealed lead acid battery should be charged after no more than three months of storage.

Note: Two 12 Vdc, 13 amp-hour batteries are available for use with the Form 5 Distribution Automation upgrade accessory.

Temperature has an effect on battery life. Sealed lead acid batteries should be stored, fully charged, at room temperature. Never store lead acid batteries at temperature exceeding 47°C (117°F), as damage can result in approximately one month.

IMPORTANT: To maintain sufficient charge to operate the control and prevent battery cell damage, the sealed lead-acid batteries should be charged after no more than three months of storage.

To keep the battery charged, energize the control’s builtin charger with AC power applied to the user AC supply input connector block TB1, located left of the RIF module within the control cabinet.

Note: When shipped from the factory, the battery source is disconnected and its output plugs are taped to the cab- inet. Connect the battery plugs into the mating connectors to complete the battery circuit.

IMPORTANT: Connect the control battery when AC power is connected to the control’s AC supply Input Terminal Block. The battery must be disconnected prior to shipping or storing the control.

Battery Replacement

The 24 Vdc control battery has a life expectancy of 4 to 6 years. It is recommended that the battery be replaced after 4 years.

Control Power

The primary source of power is factory configured for 120 Vac or 240 Vac. The 240 Vac version is available as an option at time of order entry. Primary power is rectified to charge the power capacitor and to power the dc/dc converter that provides power to the control. A minimum of 500 mA of ac current is required for heater operation, battery charging current, and to keep all modules energized.
