Programming the Control Settings
The user and admin passwords are changed on the Control Settings selection tab. It's
also where the Interrupter ID can be modi ed, where the global settings can be modi ed,
and where the control can be reset back to factory defaults. This is also where the USB
Network settings can be viewed. USB Network settings are not editable.
With the exception of changing the user password, only the admin login can make
changes to the Control Settings menu.
Some of the control settings are programmed by S&C at the factory. The interrupter
IDs are programmed to match the “way” designation of the Vista switchgear. S&C
also programs the following Global Settings: Continuous Current Rating, Fault
Interrupting Rating, and Trip Mode.
Before energizing the Vista switchgear, make sure to:
• Change the User and Admin passwords from their factory default settings
• Con rm the system frequency (60 Hz is the default setting)
• Con rm the continuous current rating matches the ratings of the Vista switchgear,
as listed on the nameplate
• Con rm the fault-interrupting rating matches the rating of the Vista switchgear as
listed on the nameplate
• Check that the Trip Mode setting matches the capabilities of the switchgear and the
application. Note that single-phase fault interrupters can be con gured for either the
Single-Phase Trip/Single-Phase Lockout or Single-Phase Trip/Three-Phase
Lockout setting. Three-phase trip/three-phase lockout fault interrupters cannot be set
to the Single-Phase Trip setting or the switchgear may not respond properly to faults.
NOTICE

settings not saved before the inactivity logout will be lost.
