When disconnecting the external supply lead, always 

remove it from the Smart Interrupter before disconnecting it 
from the anode wire.

 

To prevent unauthorized access keep the Smart 

Interrupter secure if it is left unattended when in use.

Operating the Smart Interrupter  
(non-GPS version )

Note: Operating procedures are the same for both the 50 
amp and 100 amp versions.

 

Press the Power On/Off button.

The first screen is displayed for approximately 2 seconds, 
after which time the second screen is displayed. This screen 
displays the mode that the Smart 
Interrupter was in when it was 
last switched off.

 

If the screen shows anything other than “Running 
SCM” or “Stopped SCM” press the SCM button to 
return to the SCM screen. The following screen is 
displayed.

Modes

The capability of the Smart Interrupter to generate any one 
of 4 unique SCM output signals is a particularly helpful 
feature if you are using the SCM with more than one Smart 
Interrupter at the same time. 

SCM Mode

The 4 selectable SCM output signals are numbered 0-3. 

 

Press the right or left arrow button to cycle through 
the output signals until the desired signal number is 
displayed. If using several Smart Interrupters ensure 
they have different signal output numbers.

 

The ‘Running SCM’ 
screen is displayed. 

PPL Mode

Do not use this mode.
