until all control settings have been properly programmed and verified. Refer to the programming information for this control. Failure to comply can result in control and recloser misoperation, equip-
ment damage and personal injury. | G110.3 |
IMPORTANT: The Form 5 recloser control can be taken out of service for testing and placed back into service without
Testing an Installed Control
The following tests to determine initial operation of the Form 5 control can be performed while connected to an operating recloser. These are the only tests performed on an installed, operating control. All other tests described in this Testing and Troubleshooting section require the Form 5 control to be removed from service, connected to a bypassed recloser, or tested at a location where the proper testing equipment is available.
1.
2.Scroll through the LCD display messages as described in the LCD Display Messages section of these instructions. Refer to Form 5 Control operator panel section of this manual.
Check the operational values for currents, voltages, and other metering information.
3.Check that the LED for AC power is illuminated on the control operator panel. This indicates the presence of AC power.
4.Test battery operation, using the procedures described in the Battery Test Procedure section of these instructions.
Check CPU Status
Check the operating status of the CPU module. Open the cabinet door and locate the LED indicator (Figure 40).
The LED indicator on the CPU module should flash at a rate of one flash per second for normal 60 Hz operation (slightly faster for 50Hz).
