Method 2

, applies to pendant without enable button .

On power up if both connect and disconnect positional limit 

switches are closed then the controller will look to see what series 

of I/O controls are closed . The gear type is then set depending on 

what pushbuttons are closed . The gear type can then be verified 

with the diagnostic display . Below are the sequences of closed 

contacts to set each gear type .

Procedure: 
Step 1. 

- Using an Ethernet cable and a RJ485 to 8 pin terminal 

block adapter .  Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the 

discrete I/O control connection shown on 

Figure 12

 .  Connect the 

other end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ485 connection shown on 

Figure 12

 .

Setting the Modbus address

If the enable button is present (

Figure 7

 and 

8

) the enable  button 

must be held to operate the pendant . The Modbus address of a 

controller board is set using the pendant . The available MODBUS 

addresses are 01 to 99 for one RS485 network . 

To set the MODBUS address, follow the steps below:

1 .  Connect pendant to the cell to be programmed .
2 .  Hold down the “Intermediate” button and within 3 seconds 

press and hold the “Connect” button until the 2-digit LED display 

begins to flash “##”, at the same time the “Connect” LED will 

begin to flash .

3 .  Now the “Test” and “Disconnect” buttons can be used to scroll 

up and down (01 to 99) until the desired address number is 

reached . While scrolling, the “Connect” LED will continue to 

flash to let the user know that the address is not set .

4 .  Once the desired address number is reached, press the 

“Connect” button to connect to the Modbus address displayed .

5 .  Press “Disconnect” to return to operation mode .
6 .  At this time the address can be verified using the controller 

diagnostic display described above .

The MODBUS address can be modified after being set using the 

same sequence .

interface to VCPW-MR2 and VCPW-HD controllers .

Manual racking

Follow the steps listed below to manually rack the MV device in the 

case of a motor/controller failure or loss of control power .

1. 

Turn “Off” the 15 A two-pole LV circuit breaker mounted in the  

LV compartment (see 

Figure 11

) .

a. 

This action does two things:

1. 

It ensures that the motor will not turn on during  

manual racking .

2. 

It prevents the motor from back feeding voltage  

and causing the user to apply excessive torque to  

the lead screw .

2. 

Once the LV circuit breaker is turned “Off,” the operator can 

insert the standard racking tool (for 5/15 kV 1/4 high auxiliary 

drawers, use a standard 1/2” socket) and rack the MV device to 

the connected or disconnected position .

a. 

This will require slightly more torque than normal because it 

will be driving through the motor gearbox .

In the case that the motor is jammed and the lead screw does not 

turn freely or with less than 35 ft-lbs (47 .45 N∙m) of torque, the 

operator can apply approximately 70 ft-lbs (94 .91 N∙m) of torque 

and the lead screw will break away from the motor . Once the lead 

screw has broken free from the motor, the MV device can be racked 

manually . The unit should then be inspected and a new lead screw 

installed .

Terminals 3 and 4 are the 140 VDC motor circuit .
