Status indicator LEDs
The status indicator LEDs (Figure 4 and Figure 5) in the 
Programming section of the Operator Panel give instant 
information on the control and recloser status:
This information is indicated on the left side of the control: 
(Figure 4):
 
PHASE FAULT: This LED illuminates when the control 
issues an overcurrent trip signal while the phase current 
exceeds the programmed minimum trip value.
 
ABOVE MIN TRIP: This LED illuminates when the control 
detects that current is above the programmed minimum 
trip value.
 
LOCKOUT: This LED illuminates to indicate the control is 
in a locked out state, i.e. a reclosing sequence is not in 
progress. This LED does not indicate that the recloser is 
open.
 WARNING
Hazardous voltage. Do not rely on the open position 
of the yellow operating handle on the recloser or the 
OPEN or LOCKOUT LED indicators on the recloser 
control; it does not ensure that the line has been 
de-energized. Always establish a visible disconnect. 
Failure to follow proper safety practices can result in 
contact with high voltage, which will cause death or 
severe personal injury.
