How to use the Apply Communication Mode button:
The Apply Communication Mode button has been newly added to assist in
the following two situations: when changing an installed TripSaver II recloser
from the Non-Gateway Mode to the Gateway Mode setting in the field, or when
encountering gateway commissioning difficulties and toggling from the Gateway
Mode to the Non-Gateway Mode setting and back to the Gateway Mode setting
is required.
This button is meant to be a quick way of changing both the Communication
Mode and the Side-magnet Radio Enabling Function settings. To change
the communication mode and apply other settings at the same time (TCC, NR,
Sectionalizing, etc.,) click on the Apply button on the menu bar.
When the Gateway Mode setting is enabled, the Side-magnet Radio Enabling
Function setting will be automatically disabled, and its menu field will become
blank and grayed out.
The Communication mode is automatically set to the Non-Gateway Mode setting
for the standard 5s open interval recloser, and the field is hidden because the standard
5s model is unable to communicate with a TripSaver II Communications Gateway.
The Side-magnet Radio Enabling Function setting is still available.
When placed in the Gateway Mode setting, a TripSaver II recloser with the extended
open interval will no longer be able to communicate directly to a PC when a side magnet
is attached, and the Side-magnet Radio Enabling Function setting will be disabled,
and the Side-magnet Radio Enabling Function menu will be blank and grayed out.
The recloser will, however, still be able to communicate directly to a PC when the service
center configuration power module or cordless power module is attached.
When the service center configuration software is in Standalone mode, the default
Communication Mode setting is Non-Gateway Mode. When creating a setpoint
file, the Gateway Mode setting can be saved to the setpoint file by selecting it and
clicking on the Save Setpoints button on the menu bar. When a snapshot file from a
TripSaver II recloser model with the extended open interval capability is open, the state
of the associated TripSaver II recloser’s communications mode will be shown.
All TripSaver II reclosers are factory-set to the Non-Gateway Mode setting
unless specified otherwise via optional factory programming. Always select the Non-
Gateway Mode setting on the TripSaver II Configuration Worksheet (Form 888) and in
the user-provided setpoints file when requesting factory programming for standard 5s
TripSaver II reclosers.
NOTICE
When the Service Center Configuration Software is communicating with a
TripSaver II recloser via the communications gateway, the firmware update function
will be disabled. Firmware updates can only be done using the USB transceiver
from the Service Center Configuration Kit.
