2.0 Charging Operation
DANGER!
Ensure that all applicable interlocks are defeated before beginning any remote switching
operation on the switchgear. Failure to do so will damage interlocks, switchgear, and/or
RSA. Please follow all applicable operation instructions and take necessary precautions as
stated in the switchgear operation manual.
1.
Connect the four pin connecter from the RSA-138 Interface Module to the
control box located on the right side of the RSA.
2.
Connect the four pin connecter from the RSO-I AR to the plug located on the
RSA-138 Interface Module.
3.
Set the two position selector switch on the RSA-138 Interface Module to the
setting labeled “Charging Motor.”
4.
Power on the RSO-I AR.
5.
Press and hold the applicable button for the charging operation to be
completed. For example, if the switch is open and is to be closed, press and
hold the “CLOSE” button on the RSO-I AR to charge the switch to close. This
charging mechanism requires approximately 6.5 revolutions to charge the
springs. Hold the applicable button on the RSO-I AR until the drive motor fully
charges the springs and stops rotation.
6.
The switch is now charged and is ready to be either closed or opened. See the
next section for applicable closing and opening operational details.
ATTENTION!
The RSA-138 Interface Module allows the operator to choose which operation to control.
This interface module must be used with this device. The RSA will not operate properly
without it. Failure to comply will lead to problems during the remote switching operation.
Please ensure that all cables are clear of moving parts. Failure to do so could damage cables
and/or actuator.
