Electronics housing
The electronics housing contains the
microprocessor, battery, power connection
terminals, data connection points and the
user interface for the RCU. The RCU has a
simple user interface for operations and
maintenance purposes. The RCU front panel
is shown in Figures 5 and 6. It has a number
of LED indictors. The LEDs are normally off
(to reduce power consumption) and turn on
automatically while the door is open as
controlled by the position of the door
switch.
After connection of a power supply, the
operator uses toggle switches to turn the
RCU “ON”. The LED indicator display panel
provides feedback to the operator as to the
function of the RCU and the connections
among RCU, Fusesavers and the SCADA
system.
