S&C TripSaver II Installation And Operation

S&C Instruction Sheet 461-502 31
Troubleshooting
• If the TripSaver II recloser LMO drop open is blocked
• If the Gang operation drop open is blocked.
Note: Blocked means iced to the cutout mounting or held
upright by some other means.
During testing on a bench with the TripSaver II recloser
in a horizontal position:
• When the TripSaver II recloser’s is tested to drop open
using the features on the Functional Test screen with
the trunnion pointing to the side or pointing down ve
consecutive times.
• When a test current is applied down ve consecutive
times through the TripSaver II recloser to simulate a
permanent fault drop open with the trunnion pointing
to the side or pointing down.
Note: The only proper horizontal bench testing orientation
is with the trunnion pointing up.
These orientation issues are not present in TripSaver
II recloser firmware version 1.8.
Unable to Close a TripSaver II Recloser Into
Its Mounting
If a TripSaver II recloser cannot be closed into the
mounting when it has not reached the end of its useful
life, manually reset the drop-open mechanism using the
procedure described on page 29. If a TripSaverII recloser
still cannot be closed into the mounting, this may indicate
that the recloser is in an operational Error state. The
TripSaver II recloser must be removed and returned to
S&C for service.
LCD Performance atExtremely Low
Temperatures
The LCD screen used in a TripSaver II recloser does not
refresh at temperatures below -30°C (-22°F). At even
lower temperatures, the contrast of the LCD screen will
degrade; eventually it will turn completely blue. However,
information displayed is not lost and the LCD screen will
recover once the temperature rises above -30°C (-22°F).
Battery Abnormality LCD Indicator
(applicable to the extended open interval (“-O”)
option)
When the battery used to support the extended open
interval experiences an abnormality, the following new
warning indicator on the LCD screen will be displayed
on the Primary Normal screen as an exclamation point.
See Figure 44.
WARNING
The battery is not user replaceable and should only
be serviced by S&C Electric Company with battery
