12 S&C Instruction Sheet 1042-511
Before installing the switch control package in the field, carry out the following steps. This
is best done in the shop before the installer leaves for the installation site.
STEP 1. Inspect the switch control for visible damage.
On receipt of the control, make sure there is no obvious damage to the switch
control enclosure or any of the internal components. Also, check any switch
interface connectors that are included with the control. If the battery will not be used
immediately, store it in a cool, dry place, and recharge it every six months or less.
STEP 2. Put a copy of the source and line segment information/drawing in the door pocket of
the control or low-voltage cabinet.
The team information sheet includes a single-line diagram of the team and the
information you need to correctly install and configure this control.
STEP 3. Locate the items needed to install and set up the 5800 Series Switch Control.
The following items are required to install the software, set up the control, set up
the communications equipment (radio, modem, etc.), and enable operation. These
items also can be used to diagnose certain hardware problems that can occur
during installation:
Personal Computer — Requires Microsoft Windows
®
7 operating system,
Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher, 32 MB of RAM, and a USB or serial port
Serial Communication Cable —Connects the computer to the LOCAL COMM
port on the control (Use a straight-through cable, not a null-modem cable. The
cable must be long enough to connect to an installed switch control.)
The serial connection is RS232 with a DB9-pin connector.
If the computer only has USB ports, use a serial to USB cable adapter.
NOTICE
S&C ships several types of software-controlled products . Make sure to use the
correct software for this switch control . The latest software revisions are posted at the
S&C website
sandc.com/en/support/sc-customer-portal/
.
STEP 4. Make sure all required communications equipment (radios, antennas, modems,
etc.) is available.
Each team member must communicate with other team members, either by radio,
modem, or cable. Depending on the location of the other team members, one or more
repeater radios may be required. For more information, see the manufacturer’s
documentation for the communication system.
STEP 5.
Check the sensor conditioning module jumper(s) using the following procedure:
The switch control sensor conditioning module is configured with a delta/wye
jumper. If there are three voltage sensors, the sensor conditioning mod-
ule uses one jumper. If there are six voltage sensors, such as line-side
sensors on two switches in pad-mounted gear or Vista
®
Underground
Distribution Switchgear, the sensor conditioning module requires two
jumpers.
(a) Locate the installed sensor conditioning module jumper(s) and the alternate
jumper(s). See Figure 4 on page 13.

STEP 14. Determine whether the number of line segments restored by a team should be
limited.
Configure the Line Segment Limit setpoint on the Setup>Team screen to limit
the number of line segments a team picks up. For example, “Add 1” inhibits any other
line segments from being restored through a member after it restores its first line
segment. Set this value to “N/A” to allow the team to pick up as many line segments
as capacity allows.
