S&C Instruction Sheet 1045M-510

Introduction

Replacement parts provided by the seller or repairs performed by the seller under 

the warranty for the original equipment will be covered by the above special war-
ranty provision for its duration. Replacement parts purchased separately will be 
covered by the above special warranty provision.

For equipment/services packages, the seller warrants for a period of one year after  

commissioning that the 6801M Automatic Switch Operator will provide automatic fault 
isolation and system reconfiguration per agreed-upon service levels. The remedy shall 
be additional system analysis and reconfiguration of the IntelliTeam® SG Automatic  
Restoration System until the desired result is achieved.

Warranty of the S&C 6801M Automatic Switch Operator is contingent upon the 

installation, configuration, and use of the control or software in accordance with 
S&C’s applicable instruction sheets.

This warranty does not apply to major components not of S&C manufacture, such as  

batteries and communication devices. However, S&C will assign to the immedi-
ate purchaser or end user all manufacturer’s warranties that apply to such major 
components.

Warranty of equipment/services packages is contingent upon receipt of adequate 

information on the user’s distribution system, sufficiently detailed to prepare a tech-
nical analysis. The seller is not liable if an act of nature or parties beyond S&C’s con-
trol negatively impact performance of equipment/services packages; for example, 
new construction that impedes radio communication, or changes to the distribution 
system that impact protection systems, available fault currents, or system-loading 
characteristics.
