Troubleshooting
Having a low signal strength between the TripSaver II recloser and the USB transceiver
can cause delays in updating settings and extended rmware update times. If experiencing
low signal quality when connected to a TripSaver II recloser using the USB transceiver
and the service center conguration software, move the powered TripSaver II recloser
between one to 4 inches (25 to 102 mm) away from the USB transceiver, with the recloser
facing down and the trunnion pointing up and with the LCD screen toward the USB
transceiver at an approximate 45˚ angle. See Figure 151.
Service center configuration software version 2.0 in combination with the new USB
transceiver with enhanced antenna (part number FDA-1868R2) significantly improves
signal strength
Note: For more information on signal quality and the signal strength indicator, see the
“Additional Information Bar” section on page 49.

LED Indicators Condition
Green (constant) Power is On.
Red (fast-blinking)
The USB transceiver is transmitting data. Fast-blinking during the connecting
stage indicates the connection is successful and about to complete.
Red (slow-blinking) The USB transceiver is attempting to connect to a TripSaver II recloser.
Red (Constant)
USB transceiver is in the Error state. If the red LED is on constantly, the USB
transceiver should be reset. (See the “If the Connection Process Displays a
Timeout Message” section on page 110 for directions on how to reset the USB
transceiver.)
