Tools Required

A properly functioning IntelliCap Plus control shows 

**UNIT OK**

 on the first line 

of the LCD screen and scrolls data on the second line. If you suspect trouble, and find 
that the LCD screen is normal, you have two options. You can continue to follow these  
troubleshooting instructions, or you can save a snapshot of the control and contact S&C 
Electric Company. See the “Using A Snapshot” section in Instruction Sheet 1023-540, “S&C  
IntelliCap® Plus Automatic Capacitor Control: 

Operation.

” 

If the LCD screen does not show 

**UNIT OK**

 or is not scrolling data, check the  

error messages described in Table 1 on page 10. To eliminate the possibility of software 
malfunction, reload the operating software into the control.

STEP 1. 

Connect a PC (loaded with IntelliLink Setup Software) to the Local Comm. Port on 
the faceplate.

STEP 2. 

From the Windows START button select: Programs>EnergyLine>Update.

STEP 3. 

On the Update Control Software dialog box, select the check boxes: Don’t Preserve 
Data and High Speed.

STEP 4. 

Select the START UPDATE button.

STEP 5. 

The operating system will be reloaded into the IntelliCap Plus control, and the LCD 
screen should show: **UNIT OK** on the first line, and the data should scroll on the 
second line.

STEP 6. 

If the trouble remains, continue following these Troubleshooting Instructions or 
contact S&C Electric Company.

Basic Troubleshooting

To correct a problem, one or more of the following tools may be required:
•  Multimeter

•  4-inch long, 1/4-inch-blade screwdriver

NOTICE

If the suggested troubleshooting steps do not resolve the problem, call S&C Electric 
Company Global Support Monitoring Center at (888) 762-1100 .
