SECTION 3: OPERATION AND USE

3-1 GENERAL

This section specifically describes the effective operation and functional use of the OPTIMizer Hand Held Pro- grammer. The OPTIMizer is used to access the many capabilities of OPTIM 550, 750 and 1050 Trip Units. Specific details associated with the trip units are covered in Instruction Book 29C891 entitled “Instructions for Installation, Operation and Maintenance of Cutler- Hammer Digitrip OPTIM Trip Units.” It is recommended that the operator review the material presented in Section 2 prior to operating and using the hand held pro- g r a m m e r .

Familiarization with the information presented in Table

2 . 1 will prove helpful. Table 2 . 1 outlines the menu items accessed from the top level menu (Figure 2 - 9). Menu item definitions are provided in the user friendly display with additional explanatory information provided in Table 2 . 1. In addition, an OPTIMizer Menu Diagram provides an overall picture of the device’s capabilities (Figure 3 - 1) . This diagram is also shown on the OPTIMizer back panel for quick and easy reference (Figure 2 - 4) .

Section 3 covers the operation and use of the OPTIMizer. It is broken down into the following general categories:

•Getting Started

•Power Application

•Security Password

•Assign Address/Select Baud Rate

•Configure Trip Unit

•Displayed Information

•Test Trip Unit

3-2 GETTING STARTED

The OPTIMizer Hand Held Programmer is a simple to use device. Before applying power and using the device, it is recommended that the following preliminary steps be taken:

Step 1: If the programmer is to be operated by battery power only, be sure that a fresh battery is properly installed. Refer to paragraph 2-2.1 for battery information.

Step 2: If power will be supplied by an Auxiliary Power Module, be certain that the Auxiliary Power Module is connected to the appropriate 120 Vac source and the OPTIMizer Hand Held Programmer. Refer to paragraph 2-2.2 for details on an external power connection.

Notice: Keep in mind that an Auxiliary Power Module is always required if a “Trip” Test is to be performed on a circuit breaker.

Step 3: When a Direct Breaker Connection is being made, plug either end of the custom phone cord into the phone jack port on the top of the programmer first, and then plug the other end into the port provided on the trip unit. The connections should be made before power is applied. Refer to paragraph 2-2.2 for details on

aDirect Breaker Connection.

Notice: A direct breaker connection will override an INCOM connection. This will also signal a no response alarm on other network devices. Clear the alarms when finished.

Step 4: If a Network Connection is being made using an INCOM twisted-pair connection to the 3-pin connector located on the top of the program- mer, refer to paragraph 2-2.2 for details on a Network Connection.

Step 5: No matter which connection approach is used, be certain that all plug-in connections are properly seated. This includes trip unit, external power and INCOM connections to the programmer as well as connections from the programmer to the trip unit or INCOM.

The programmer is now ready to have power applied.

3-3 POWER APPLICATION

Turn the programmer on by holding the red On/Off pushbutton in the depressed position for approximately one second. Upon release of the pushbutton, the first message will be displayed.

Three different types of messages can be displayed before the top level menu appears (Figure 2-9). The messages displayed will depend on the programmer connection or lack of a proper connection as follows:

•If the programmer detects the lack of a proper con- nection, two consecutive messages will be displayed. Figure 3-2shows the first message displayed while the programmer searches for a compatible device. If the programmer is unable to make a connection, Figure 3-3shows the second message that appears momentarily before the top level main menu is dis- played (Figure 2-9).
