S&C TripSaver II - Field Pairing a Tripsaver II Recloser; With Firmware Version 1.6 or; Powered by Line Current

S&C Instruction Sheet 461-509 79
STEP 3.
Connect to the communications gateway with a PC as described in the
“Software User’s Guide” section on page 19. In the Device Management screen,
click on the Add TripSaver II button. Fill in the Transceiver ID and
TripSaver II Device Name (if desired) and click on the OK button.
Note: The device name can be anything but is usually a description of where
the TripSaver II recloser is installed.
When the TripSaver II recloser has been successfully paired, the device
will appear in the device listing in the device panel. Periodically refresh
the communications gateway’s TripSaver II Device Management screen
using your browser’s Refresh button. The TripSaver II recloser will be listed
as “connected” when pairing is complete. The pairing process could take
approximately 5 minutes. If the TripSaver II recloser does not pair, see the
“Troubleshooting” section on page 81.
STEP 4. When paired, disconnect the magnet tool’s magnet and the power module. Both
the communications gateway and TripSaver II Recloser will remember their
pairing after being moved to the installation site and installed. The paired
TripSaver II reclosers should be installed no more than 100 feet (30.5 m) from
the communications gateway. For optimal performance, install the
TripSaver II recloser no more than 30 feet (9.1 m) away from the communications
gateway and in direct line of sight.
For TripSaver II reclosers furnished with rmware version 1.6 or 1.7, pairing can only be
performed with the TripSaver II recloser powered by line current or an external power
source. (For specications for an external power source, contact the S&C Global Support
and Monitoring Center.) To pair with the communications gateway, these reclosers must
be installed within 100 feet (30.5 m) of the communications gateway and be furnished
with the Extended Open Interval option, which allows up to a 30 second open interval
between reclose operations.
Note: Though S&C strongly recommends upgrading the firmware of the TripSaver II
recloser to be paired with the communications gateway to version 1.8, there may be a
need to pair a TripSaver II recloser using an older version of the firmware with a com-
munications gateway. For TripSaver II reclosers furnished with firmware version 1.6
or 1.7, pairing can only be performed at the installation site with the TripSaver II
recloser powered by line current. This procedure can also be used when pairing a
TripSaver II recloser with firmware versions 1.8 or 1.9 with a communications gateway
already installed in the field.
To perform field pairing, follow these steps:
STEP 1. Using a PC loaded with Service Center Conguration Software v1.8, the
corded power module, a USB transceiver, and TripSaver II Service Center
Conguration Software, set the TripSaver II recloser to Gateway mode.
Instructions for setting the recloser to Gateway mode can be found in the
“Communications Settings Menu” section of S&C Instruction Sheet 461-504,
“TripSaver® II Cutout-Mounted Recloser, Outdoor Distribution (15 kV and
25 kV): For Overhead Distribution Systems: Protection Setup Using Service
Center Conguration Kit.” Disconnect the service center conguration
software and remove the USB transceiver from the USB port.
STEP 2. Install the TripSaver II recloser(s) to be paired to the gateway to the utility pole
