the down arrow. The following information will be
displayed:
VBat = XX.XX Volts
IBat = -X.XX Amps
4. Verify the Control OK LED is illuminated on the control
operator panel. The AC POWER LED indicates the

pressed). The CONTROL OK and HOT LINE TAG
LEDs are not affected by the power save mode.
Pressing any key on the front panel will turn the LCD
backlight on and restore all LEDs to their current on/
off states.
All other tests described in this
section
require the SPEAR single-phase recloser control to be
removed from service, connected to a bypassed recloser, or
tested at a location where the proper testing equipment is
available.
