voltage to 115, 120, or 125 Volts. See U2 PT and P2 PT 
data items above. Also see Section 5.3.2. 
 
4.3.13 NeutOvRun (Neutral Overrun) 
The Neutral Overrun data item keeps the tap motor on for a 
specified amount of time when making a tap change into 
the neutral tap position. This ensures that the reversing 
switch is always closed in order to prevent the contacts 
from corroding due to capacitive discharge. For regulators 
with a TLG mechanism set to 2.0 seconds. For regulators 
with a TLF mechanism set to 1.7 seconds. 
 
4.3.14 Min/Max Reset 
The Min/Max Reset data item resets Meter and Demand 
max/min values in the microprocessor to current 
instantaneous values. This function is useful when setting 
up the microprocessor for the first time, or when you want 
to reset electronically-maintained values. 
 
Note: Do not use this function unless you want to reset all 
Meter and Demand min/max values; to reset selected 
values, use the Cancel/Reset key described in Chapter 2. 
 
To request that Meter and Demand Max/Min values be 
reset, view Reset Max/Min; use the Change/Save Key and 
the Scroll keys to change the default N(o) to Y(es). Then 
press the Change/Save key to complete the change process. 
 
4.3.15 Version 
Main Processor software version NN.NNNN. This data 
item displays the installed version of the microprocessor 
control program. 
 
4.3.16 Memo 1 and Memo 2 
These two data items allow you to record installation-
specific information that can be viewed at a later time. For 
example, you might wish to use one Memo to document the 
regulator’s serial number, and the other Memo to document 
its location. This information could then be viewed by a 
remote operator via a communications link. 
 
To enter data into these data items, view the <CONFIG-
URE> menu; then use the Scroll keys to view Memo 1 or 
Memo 2. The display screen responds by flashing the 
“blank” character (■) in the leftmost position of the ten 
character Memo field. This indicates the character to be 
changed. Use the ▲ and ▼ keys to step through the alpha 
and numeric characters until the desired character is 
presented on the display screen. Then press the ► key to 
move the cursor to the next character to the right, and so on 
until all ten characters of the Memo have been entered. 
When you have completed entering the Memo, press the 
Change/Save key to complete the change. 
 
Valid characters are A-Z; 0-9; space; comma; semi-colon; 
period; dash; slash; ampersand (&), and the # character. 
Default is for Memo 1 to contain the regulators serial 
number and for Memo 2 to contain the initials of the 
control panel tester. 
 
The <ADV CONFIGURE> Menu 
 
4.3.17 Meter Volts (Meter Scaling) 
The Meter Volts data item determines which voltage is 
presented on the display screen. You can choose either the 
Primary side (system voltage—e.g., 7620 V) or the 
Secondary side (120 V nominal). 
 
Specify PRI if you wish to monitor the system-level 
voltage; specify SEC if you wish to monitor voltage scaled 
to the nominal 120 volt range. Voltages in the <METER> 
menu are displayed according to the Meter Volts setting. 
 
Note: Power and energy calculations are always derived 
from the system-level voltage and are not affected by the 
Meter Volts setting. 
 
4.3.18 I Threshold% (Low Current Threshold) 
The I Threshold% data item defines a threshold for load 
current magnitude, below which automatic mode tap 
changes are inhibited. This threshold is defined as a 
percentage of the CT primary rating (see CTratio above). 
 
For example, in the case of a regulator with a CTratio of 
200:0.2, the CT primary rating would be 200 A. If you 
specify I Threshold% = 4, you are defining a low current 
threshold of 8 A. (4%*200 A = 8 A). To set the low current 
threshold, view I Threshold%: and specify a percentage of 
the full scale CT primary rating. 
 
4.3.19 I Shift (Current Shift) 
The I Shift data item compensates for system current-to-
voltage phase differences. Consult the factory for proper 
application of this data item. (Note: This data item is 
primarily intended for use with Load Tap Change (LTC) 
transformers.) 
 
4.3.20 I Load Max (Maximum Load Current) 
This item specifies the Maximum Load Current as a 
percentage of the Full Load Current. When the load current 
(Ild) exceeds the Maximum Load Current, the MJ-5 
activates the Overcurrent Alert condition. 
 
4.3.21 PT Threshold (Potential Transformer 
Threshold) 
The PT Threshold data item defines a low-voltage 
threshold. This parameter allows you to specify a voltage 
level below which automatic mode tap changes will be 
inhibited. 
 
4.3.22 Time and Date Items 
Time (Time of Day) 
The Time data item allows you to set the real-time clock. 
Specify the present time, TIME: HH:MM:SS A/P (e.g. 
04:34:54P).
