Running Matlink
Ç
CAUTION
The steps which follow describe the procedure for run ning Matlink with a Micro-AT
Source-Transfer Control connected to your personal computer. Matlink can also be
run—and configurations
d
created—without a Micro-AT control connected to the
personal computer. If you wish to create a configuration(s) for later down loading,
proceed to
“APPENDIX”
on page 16.
Step 1
Place the manual/automatic operation selector switch on the Micro-AT Source-Transfer
Control in the “MANUAL” position.
Step 2
Decouple each operator from its interrupter switch—changing the Micro-AT configura-
tion might cause a tem porary service interruption. Refer to the S&C instruction sheet
furnished with the pad-mounted gear, metal-enclosed switchgear, or Vista® Underground
Distribution Switchgear or, in weatherproof enclosure applications, the S&C instruction
sheet furnished with the switch operators.
Step 3
Loosen the screw which retains the hinged lower panel of the Micro-AT control and swing
open the lower panel. See Figure1 on page 4. (In pad-mounted gear which was originally
fur nished with a Type AT-12 Source-Transfer Control, loosen the two screws which retain
the door assembly of the Micro-AT control and swing open the door assembly.)
Step 4
With your computer off, connect the communication cable between the serial port of the
computer and the communication port of the Micro-AT control. A USB-to-Serial adapter
is required if your computer does not have a Serial port.
d
A configuration consists of the settings of the Micro-AT control, which include its operating characteristics
and its voltage-, current-, and time-related operating parameters .
