Return the Control to Service
After the required work is completed, disconnect the
control from the test set and follow this procedure to return
the control to service:
1. While still in service shop, appropriate personnel must
verify that all control settings are correct.
2. Reconnect the ground cable to the control.
3. Control cable properly connected and supported.
4. Plug in the control battery.
Note: The Form 6 pole-mount recloser control will not
power up until AC power is applied.
5. Verify the selector switch on the Power Supply/Battery
Charger Board is set to the correct position based
upon the incoming power supply:
• For 120 VAC incoming power, the selector switch
must be set to the 115V position.
• For 240 VAC incoming power, the selector switch
must be set to the 230V position.
6. Apply AC power to the control.
7. Disable GND TRIP BLOCKED.
A. Press the CHANGE button on the Operator Panel to
enter the CHANGE mode.
B. Depress the GND TRIP BLOCKED button within ten
seconds after entering the CHANGE mode.
Note: Once selected (or after ten seconds), the control
returns to normal operation.

AC power has been reapplied.
Note: The control clock may require resetting if the operating
power has been disconnected for more than thirty
days. Refer to Service Information S280-70-4
