S&C Instruction Sheet 1045M-510
Before Switch Operator Installation
This instruction sheet is used with software versions ST6801MSS-7.1.x and
SG6801MSX-7.1.x. The “x” can indicate any number from 0 to 255. Other related software
component version information is found on the
Setup>General>Revisions
screen.
The software revision is shown in the installer file name (-7.1.x) and on the
Setup>
General>Revisions
screen. For questions regarding the applicability of information in
this instruction sheet to future software releases, please contact S&C Electric Company.
Although the 6801M Switch Operator will work acceptably with most distribution
switches, be sure to check with S&C Electric Company before using the switch operator
with any switch not on the list of switches on the
Setup>General>Switch Operator
screen.
See Instruction Sheet 1045M-530, “S&C 6801M Automatic Switch Operators:
Setup
.”
WARNING
Serious risk of personal injury or death may result from contact with electric
distribution equipment when electrical isolation and grounding procedures are
not followed. The equipment described in this document must be operated and
maintained by qualified persons who are thoroughly trained and understand any
hazards that may be involved. This document is written only for such qualified
persons and is not a substitute for adequate training and experience in safety
procedures for accessing high-voltage equipment.
WARNING
These instructions do not replace the need for utility operation standards. Any
conflict between the information in this document and utility practices should be
reviewed by appropriate utility personnel and a decision made as to the correct
procedures to follow.
The S&C 6801M Automatic Switch Operator is connected to switchgear
operating at primary voltage levels. High voltage may be present in the wiring to the
switch operator or the switch operator itself during certain failures of the switchgear
wiring or grounding system, or due to a failure of the switch itself. For this reason,
access to the switch operator should be treated with the same safety precautions
that would be applied when accessing other high-voltage lines and equipment.
Follow all locally approved safety procedures when working on or around this
switch operator.
Before attempting to access an existing switch installation, check carefully for
visible or audible signs of electrical or physical malfunction (do this before
touching or operating the switch operator or any other part of the installation). These
warning signs include such things as smoke, fire, open fuses, crackling noises,
loud buzzing, etc. If a malfunction is suspected, treat all components of the
installation, including the switch operator and associated mounting hardware, as if
they were elevated to primary (high) voltage.
Whenever you are manually reconfiguring the circuit (for example, during repairs),
follow your company’s operating procedures to disable automatic operation of
the IntelliTeam SG Automatic Restoration System. This prevents any unexpected
operation of a team member.
You can disable the IntelliTeam SG Automatic Restoration System by pressing
the Automatic Restoration CHANGE faceplate button to select PROHIBITED on
the faceplate of any active IntelliTeam SG team member of the team you want to
disable.
