Close Retry Time (seconds)

•
Set the interval of time between close-retry attempts
from 15 to 60 seconds in increments of 1 second.
The Close/Retry feature is used to interrupt the closing
signal to the recloser when closing power is lost.
If the recloser has not responded with a close operation,
the control will turn off the reclose signal and go into the
close/retry mode. The number of attempts is program-
mable from 1 to 5000 in increments of 1 via Access
Code 79. In this mode, a close signal is initiated every
15 to 60 seconds via Access Code 74 for a duration of
100 cycles as long as the control is energized. If and
when the recloser closes, it will continue to follow the
programmed sequence of operations to lockout.
If the control is completely de-energized (no ac or dc
power) while in the close/retry mode, it does not remem-
ber that it is in the close/retry mode upon re-energiza-
tion. When the control is re-energized, it goes to the
same state as the recloser. If the recloser is open, the
control goes to lockout.
When the control and recloser are locked-out and the
operator attempts to close the recloser either with the
Manual Control Switch or via Supervisory Close, and
the recloser closing power is not available, the control
makes one attempt to close the recloser and then locks
open. The control does not go into the close/retry mode.
The front panel Malfunction LCD indicator is displayed.
Access Code 66 can be interrogated to determine the
malfunction.
The Close/Retry feature is only activated during reclose
attempts after a trip operation. If closing power is lost
after a trip operation, preventing a reclose operation, the
control goes into the close/retry mode.
Operating the manual control switch to the trip position
takes the control out of the close/retry mode and locks
out the control. Operating the manual control switch
while in the Close/Retry cycle will initiate a lockout com-
mand to the recloser.
With Close/Retry, the Block-of-Close feature is not
required to provide device protection during low-voltage
or loss-of-voltage conditions.
If closing power is not restored before the number of
close/retry attempts (programmed through Access Code
79) is depleted, the control will lock out.
