AC Reclosers
Power to operate the tripping and closing solenoids in the
recloser is provided by the power capacitor located
behind the operator panel of the control. A sealed, 24-volt,
lead acid battery is located in the lower portion of the con-
trol cabinet and is utilized to provide operating and trip-
ping energy when AC power is temporarily lost. The
control is equipped with an ac-powered, temperature-
compensated battery charger.
Operation Upon Loss Of AC Power
If the control is equipped with the standard 24 Vdc lead-
acid battery, the control maintains full operation from the
battery power supply for a minimum of 32 hours at 20°C
(24 hours at -40°C). To prevent battery damage, the con-
trol shuts down automatically upon detection of low bat-
tery voltage below 22.7 Vdc.
Control programming settings and parameters—including
event recorder, duty monitor, and data profile metering
parameters—are stored in non-volatile memory and
retained upon loss of control power. The time/date clock
resets to 0:00:00, 1970 upon loss of control power.
The AC power LED indicator on the operator panel of the
control will turn off after 15 seconds upon loss of AC
power. The indicator will illuminate immediately upon
return of ac power.
Initializing the Control
Two methods are available to initialize the Form 5 control.
Method 1: Connect AC power to the input connector ter-
minal TB-1. Refer to the Customer Connec-
tions for AC Power section of this manual.
Method 2: Connect the battery terminal on the control
and press the MANUAL BATTERY RECON-
NECT button located on the Form 5 power
supply. See Figure 4.
Note: Method 2 powers the control off the battery
and is not intended for long term operation.
In both methods, after initialization, set the control clock
via the interface software.
