DANGER
The TripSaver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser MUST
be de-energized and removed from the utility pole
before attaching the “corded” power module (power
module with ac adapter and extension cord) to the
base of the TripSaver II recloser . The corded power
module is ONLY intended to be used for setup and
data collection when the TripSaver II recloser is
de-energized and removed from the utility pole . (To
provide power to a TripSaver II recloser while it is
mounted to the pole, use the cordless power module,
S&C catalog number 5954 .) Failure to remove the
TripSaver II recloser from the utility pole before
connecting the corded power module can cause
arcing, burns, electric shock, and death .

to apply new settings:
STEP 1.
Screw the threaded bottom of the antenna into
the threaded connector on the USB transceiver.

must be installed on the computer to com-
municate with a TripSaver II recloser. Insert
the USB transceiver into any USB port on
the computer. See Figure 5. The installation
process is automatic.
Note:
The USB transceiver does not need to
be installed to install the software and to run
the software in
Standalone
