Form 6 triple-single microprocessor-based rack mount recloser control
6 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS MN280084EN July 2018
Status indicator LEDs
The status indicator LEDs (Figure4) in the Programming
section of the Operator Panel give instant information on
the control and recloser status:
All of the default status indicators LEDs (except for
CONTROL OK, CONTROL POWER, and ALARM) can be
reconfigured via the Idea Workbench. Refer to Service
Information S280-70-9 (ProView 4.X.X) or S280-70-23
(ProView 5.X.X) Form 6-TS Control Programming Guide
foradditional information.
The label inserts can be user-customized. Refer to
Using removable inserts section of this manual
for additional information.
CONTROL OK: The green LED indicates the control is
operating normally and not in an alarm state.
The CONTROL OK LED will not be illuminated during these
alarms (indicated by the red ALARM LED and displayed in
the alarm status log):
RAM Failure: This alarm indicates a failed RAM memory test.
ROM Failure: This alarm indicates a failed ROM memory test.
No AC Present: This alarm indicates AC power was
unavailable for 10 continuous seconds. This alarm resets
when AC power is restored.
Internal Power Failure: This alarm indicates internal control
operation power was outside of its operating tolerance
for more than 20 seconds. This alarm resets when the
internal control operation power returns to operation
within its normal tolerances.
RIF Comm Failure: This alarm indicates a loss of
communication from the RIF (Recloser Interface) circuit
board to the main CPU circuit board. This alarm resets if
communication is re-established.
CONTROL POWER: The green LED indicates there is
adequate VTC voltage to trip the recloser. This LED does not
indicate the presence of AC power.
CONTROL LOCKOUT: The steady green LED indicates the
control for all three phases is in a locked out state, i.e. a
reclosing sequence is not in progress on any phase. In
Single-Phase Trip/Single-Phase Lockout mode the blinking
green LED may indicate that the control for one or two
phases is in a locked-out state, i.e. a reclosing sequence
is not in progress on those one or two phases. This LED
(blinking or steady) does not indicate that any phase is open.
RECLOSER OPEN: The steady green LED indicates all three
reclosers are in the open position. In Single-Phase Trip/
Single-Phase Lockout and during a sequence in Single-Phase
Trip/Three-Phase Lockout mode the blinking green LED
indicates one or two reclosers are in the open position.
RECLOSER CLOSED: The steady red LED indicates all three
phases are in the closed position. In Single-Phase Trip/Single-
Phase Lockout and during a sequence in Single-Phase Trip/
Three-Phase Lockout mode the blinking red LED indicates
one or two phases are in the closed position.
ote:N There are several conditions that will cause the
alternate blinking of the CONTROL LOCKOUT,
RECLOSER OPEN, and RECLOSER CLOSED
LEDs: Failure to Trip, Failure to Close, Interrupter
Malfunction, and 52a/b Disagreement.
The LED blinking pattern for these conditions is the
CONTROL LOCKOUT green LED and RECLOSER
CLOSED red LED alternating with the RECLOSER
OPEN green LED. The red ALARM LED will also
be illuminated.
This LED blinking pattern is different than the
continuous blinking of all three LEDs that occurs
when all three reclosers do not have the same
status, i.e. OPEN or CLOSED. To determine the
actual status of each recloser (phase), refer to the
Form 6-TS control front panel MMI RECLOSER
STATUS menu display.
A PHASE FAULT, B PHASE FAULT, C PHASE FAULT: The red
LEDs indicate A, B, and/or C phase current was either the
maximum phase current or within 20% of the maximum
when a trip signal was issued.
GROUND FAULT, SENSITIVE GROUND FAULT: The red LEDs
indicate that a Ground and/or Sensitive Earth Fault tripping
function was asserted at the time the trip signal was asserted.
ALARM: The red LED indicates an alarm has been issued.
Review the alarm status and log on the LCD display for the
specific alarm.
ote:N If a Battery Alarm occurs, de-select the Pole
Mounted Control checkbox in the ProView application
software Configure>System Configuration dialog
box. Refer to Service Information S280-70-9
(ProView 4.X.X) or S280-70-23 (ProView 5.X.X) Form
6-TS Control Programming Guide for additional
information.
ABOVE MINIMUM TRIP: The red LED indicates the current
exceeds the level set for minimum trip.
A PHASE VOLTAGE, B PHASE VOLTAGE, C PHASE
VOLTAGE: Indicates a presence of voltage on the respective
phases. The Single-Phase Undervoltage Pickup setting
controls the voltage indication for the front panel LEDs as
defined in the Voltage setting dialog box for the active setting
profile. Refer to Settings-Voltage in Schemes section of
Service Information S280-70-9 (ProView 4.X.X) or S280-70-23
(ProView 5.X.X) Form 6-TS Control Programming Guide.
FREQUENCY TRIP: Indicates the recloser tripped due to an
under or over frequency condition.
VOLTAGE TRIP: Indicates the recloser tripped due to an
under or over voltage condition.
