Form 6 microprocessor-based rack-mount recloser control
The Ethernet communication card accessory is offered in 3
physical layer configurations (twisted pair and optical-fiber
options) as shown in Table15.

Maximum link length is determined by the use of the
particular physical layer implementation, and can be further
constrained by the actual network configuration. In case of
the 100Base-FX MT-RJ connector based implementation,
maximum link length in excess of 2000m can be achieved
with 62.5/125µm multi mode fiber. The fiber-optic link uses
1300nm wavelength, and can easily be interfaced to other
100Base-FX solutions (ST connector patch cord solution).
The Ethernet communication accessory card (Figure32)
is equipped with two physical ports configured to act as
primary and standby LAN connections. Availability of the
backup communication port enables creation of highly
redundant Ethernet networks thus increasing the overall
system reliability.
ote:N Under normal network conditions, all
communications will be channeled through the
primary port (#1, Figure32), with the standby
port either logically disabled, or configured for fast
automatic throw-over in case of the primary Ethernet
link failure. Refer to Service Information S280-70-4
(ProView 4.X.X) or S280-70-21 (ProView 5.X.X) Form
6 Control Programming Guide for additional Ethernet
accessory configuration information.
Testing
CAUTION
Equipment misoperation. Do not connect this control
to an energized recloser until all control settings have
been properly programmed and verified. Refer to the
programming information for this control. Failure to
comply can result in control and recloser misoperation,
equipment damage, and personal injury. G110.3
IMPORTANT
The Form 6 recloser control can be taken out of service for
testing and placed back into service without de-energizing
its recloser and interrupting the system. However, during
the time the control is out of service, the recloser is
inoperative.
Testing an installed control
The following tests to determine initial operation of the
Form 6 recloser control can be performed while connected
to an operating recloser.
ote:N These are the only tests performed on an installed,
operating control.
1. Verify operating status of all indicator lights by pressing
the LAMP TEST key on the programming panel
(Figure33).
2. Check the operational values for currents, voltages, and
other metering information.

ote:N Scroll through the LCD display messages by pressing
the  and  cursor movement arrows underneath
the LCD display on the programming panel
(Figure33).
3. Verify the Control OK LED is illuminated on the control
operator panel (Figure34). This indicates the presence
of DC power.
ote:N The control includes a Power Save feature that will
turn off the backlit LCD display and all LEDs if no
front panel keypad is pressed within ten minutes.
Pressing any key will reactivate the display and LEDs.
