General
The following instructions are for field and shop programming of the S&C Overcurrent
Control. This microprocessor­based control is designed for use on S&C Vista SD Under­
ground Distribution Switchgear to provide fault detection and operation of the resetta ble
vacuum fault interrupters. Each overcurrent control operates up to two three­pole fault
interrupters. The control is housed in an enclosure mounted to the operating mechanism
enclosure. For vault­mounted style Vista SD units, the overcurrent control enclosure is
fully submersible. The elec tronics module is removable for programming in the shop.
Programming
A personal computer furnished by the user is to be used to input settings, review
set tings, and interrogate the event recorder. The software for programming the overcur­
rent control is contained within the control. Two data ports are provided—one on
the enclosure for programming in the field and another on the electronics module for
pro gramming in the shop. Adapter cables are available from S&C (see Instruction Sheet
695­515A) to connect the computer to the control.
An external power source is required for programming and interrogating the control.
A source of dc power is available from the mouse or USB port on the personal computer.
The adapter cables contain connectors for data and power to use the power available
from the computer.
