Time Delay Key 
 
The Time Delay set point defines the amount of time you 
want the controller to wait (after regulator output voltage has 
fallen outside the Bandwidth limit) before activating the tap 
changer motor. Use this key to view the Time 
Delay set point. Once you display the Time Delay, press the 
Change/Save key to modify the value. 
 
Line Drop Compensation Fast-Path Keys 
Line Drop Compensation (LDC) defines your estimate of the 
voltage drop between the regulator and the load center. 
The MJ-5 control program adjusts regulator output voltage to 
compensate for this drop. Specify both Resistive and 
Reactive components of Line Drop Compensation. 
See Appendix D.2 for instructions about calculating the line 
drops. 
 
Resistance Key 
 
Press this key to view the Resistive LDC component. The 
component is broken down into Forward and Reverse.  The 
first value displayed is the FWD Comp.  To view the REV 
Comp, press the Resistance Key again.  Once you display the 
Resistive LDC, (FWD or REV) press the Change/ 
Save key to modify the value. 
 
Reactance Key 
 
Press this key to view the Reactive LDC component. The 
component is broken down into Forward and Reverse.  The 
first value displayed is the FWD Comp.  To view the REV 
Comp, press the Reactance Key again. Once you display the 
Reactive LDC, press the Change/Save key to modify the 
value. 
 
+/- Polarity Select Key 
 
This key is multiplexed with the Min/Max Key. 
 
Other Fast-Path Keys 
Alert Key 
 
Press this key to view the contents of the <ALERTS> menu. 
If any Alert messages are active, press this key repeatedly to 
step through them in order of priority. If no alerts are active, 
the message “No Active Alerts” will be displayed. Section 
5.8 contains additional information on how to determine the 
meaning of the various Alerts, and how to acknowledge 
them. 
 
Press the Cancel/Reset Key to acknowledge the messages. 
 
Voltage Reduction Control (VRC) Key 
 
Press this key to view the Voltage Reduction Control data 
items. The first data item in that function is VRC status. 
Press this key repeatedly to step through the VRC settings 
(Local % reduction, Stage 1-3, VRC Remote, etc.) and then 
return to VRC Mode and repeat the sequence. See Section 
4.4.3 for a discussion of these data items. 
 
Voltage Limit Control (VLC) Key 
 
Press this key to view the VLC Enable data items. Press the 
VLC key repeatedly to step through the VLC – Upper 
Voltage set point, and the VLC - Lower Voltage set point and 
then repeat the sequence. See Section 4.4.4 for a discussion 
of these data items. 
 
Operation Counter (Op Count) Key 
 
Press this key to select the <COUNTERS> menu. The first 
parameter displayed is the Total Operations count. 
Press this key repeatedly to step through the <COUNTERS> 
menu data items. See Section 5.7 for a discussion of this 
menu. 
 
 
Press this key to view the Overall Contact status screen from 
the <MAINTENANCE> menu. Press the key repeatedly to 
scroll through the contact status screens and the settings for 
the maintenance algorithm.
