INTRODUCTION

Service Information S28O-75-2 covers basic maintenance
instructions for the Type ME electronic control. The manual
includes a general description of the control, its operating
principles and instructions for periodic inspection and testing.
Service parts lists along with ordering information are includ-
ed in Appendix IV.

An introduction to the Form 3A, Type ME, electronic control

is available on video cassette (KSPV3); in this program the
function of all standard operating and programming features
is explained.

The factory service department offers maintenance training

courses for Type ME controls. These classes, taught by ex-

perienced service technicians, are held at the factory’s in-house
training facility. For additional information, contact your sales engi-
neer.

DESCRIPTION

The Kyle Type ME electronic recloser control (Figure 1 ) is com-
prised of a number of programmable, solid-state electronic circuits
that perform the command functions involved in automatic recloser
operation. It is used to operate all Kyle electronically controlled
reclosers.

A swing-out front panel contains the programming and operating

elements of the control (Figure 2). The upper, black portion
