SPEAR single-phase recloser control operator
panel one-touch function keys
LEDs located in the upper-left corner of each function key
indicate the status of the function, regardless of local or
remote activation. For example, if Non Reclose is activated
from a SCADA signal, the indicator will illuminate even
though it was not activated from the operator panel.
SUPERVISORY OFF
When the SUPERVISORY OFF red indicator is illuminated,
supervisory commands are blocked; however, supervisory
functions through the USB data port are not blocked.
Communications through the front panel USB port remain
active independent of the status of the SUPERVISORY
OFF button. Activation of this function is restricted to the
operator panel. Operational data and metering information
are available while the control is in the SUPERVISORY OFF
position.
NON RECLOSE
The control is operating in a non-reclosing mode when the
NON RECLOSE indicator is illuminated. Non-reclosing mode
disables any automatic reclosing operations. Activation is
possible via remote communications, the interface software,
or locally (via the front panel).
BATTERY TEST
This is a direct shortcut to run the battery test feature. The
LCD screen will show the battery voltage and current. After
the battery test is run, the battery test results are shown
(battery voltage and current).
ALT PROFILE
The SPEAR single-phase recloser control has two protection
profiles: Normal Profile and Alternate Profile. Either profile
changes all protection parameters for the control. When the
operator panel display lights are active and the ALT PROFILE
indicator is not illuminated, the Normal profile is active. Only
one profile can be active.
To select the Alternate profile, press the ALT PROFILE
button.
To return to the Normal profile, press the ALT PROFILE
button to deselect it.
Protection profile selection can also be completed remotely
via remote communications.
IMPORTANT
If unused, the Alternate profile should be programmed with
the same settings as the Normal profile. Default settings
on the unused Alternate profile can cause unnecessary
outages if they are below normal system requirements.
IMPORTANT
Check minimum trip values prior to changing profiles to
avoid misoperation of the control under load conditions.
Control features
The SPEAR single-phase recloser control offers numerous
standard features and accessories that allow the user the
utmost flexibility applying the recloser control.
Control security
The SPEAR single-phase recloser control offers customer-
programmable security codes to limit control programming
and viewing function access to authorized personnel. The
front panel Human-Machine Interface (HMI) includes a
user-selected security code to access the settings. Plus, the
ProView NXG interface software has its own security levels
for multiple-user access.
