General 

The  MCM  Model  JR-2  is  a  microprocessor  controlled,  high 
current  interrupter  featuring  a  high  stability,  temperature 
compensated time base. The JR-2 was specifically designed 
for  the  interruption  of  multiple  rectifier  cathodic  protection 
systems  in order  to conduct synchronized instant  off testing 
for extended periods.  

Capabilities 

The JR-

2’s capabilities include DC interruption in excess of 5 

KW  loads  and  AC  interruption  in  excess  of  l0  KW  loads 
(Reactive).  Also,  multiple  unit  synchronous  operation  is 
guaranteed  for  a  normal  five-day  workweek.  The  JR-2  is 
sync  and  program  compatible  with  all  other  models  of  the 
Model JR family of current interrupters.  

Features 

 

  Synchronization with any number of Model JR 

      current interrupters;  

  Five functions - programmable from the front       

      panel keypad; 

  Night latch - automatically stops relay in closed 

position when the 

STOP SET

 is programmed.                              

      The operation resumes when the 

START SET

 time       

      is reached; 

  Relay Condition - Displayed as 

ON

 or 

OFF

 along with  

      a count down of time remaining in that condition; 

  Start Condition - Switch is Closed now and re-defined 

To include 

STOP SET

 or 

Night Latch;

 

  Self Diagnostic - Automatically performs a system  

      test at start up and displays

if the JR-2 is   

      ready to proceed;
