CAuTIONEquipment Misoperation. Check minimum trip valuesprior to changing an alternate profile. Failure to doso may cause misoperation of the recloser underload conditions. T280.1IMPORTANTProgram all protection profiles. If unused, the alternateprofile should be programmed with the same settingsas the Normal profile. Default settings on the unusedalternate profile can cause unnecessary outages if theyare below normal system requirements.The control must be programmed with all necessaryoperating settings, all alternate profiles, parameters, andalarms prior to operation with an energized recloser.otee:N Initial programming of the control is the responsibilityof a qualified technician or engineer familiar withcontrol functions and programming parametersrequired for the specific recloser installation.otee:N A flashing CONTROL OK LED indicates a problemwith user settings. Default settings will be displayedunder these circumstances, but protection has beendisabled. User protection profile settings must bereconfigured to enable protection.When the CONTROL OK LED is flashing, the followingmessage appears on the LCD display upon power-up:Protection Disabled. Change Protection Settings.Press ESC to Clear Message.As soon as the HMI goes into power save mode(inactivity for 15 minutes) the message will no longerdisplay on the LCD, but the CONTROL OK LED willcontinue to flash to indicate protection is disabled.The control must be programmed with the Form 4D ProViewNXG interface software. Refer to Service InformationS280-104-2 Form 4D Microprocessor-Based Recloser ControlProgramming Guide for additional information.Control/recloser compatibilityThe Form 4D pole-mount recloser control is adaptable to thefollowing Eaton Cooper Power series reclosers:WE*, WVE27, WVE38X, VWE, VWVE27, VWVE38X, VSA12,VSA16, VSA20, VSA12B, VSA20A, VS012, VS016, NOVA15,NOVA27, and NOVA38.Eaton Cooper Power series reclosers manufactured priorto June 1989 are equipped with Type A bushing currenttransformers. These reclosers were designed for use withForm 2, Form 3, and Form 3A controls. Because the Form 4Drecloser control is designed for use with reclosers equippedwith Type B current-sensing Transformers, reclosers retrofittedwith Form 4D recloser controls should be retrofitted withType B current transformers. All Eaton Cooper Power seriesreclosers manufactured since June 1989 are equipped withType B (1000:1, 1000/500:1, or 2000:1) sensing CTs.* This control is not compatible with Form 1 Type WE reclosers below s/n300 and RE reclosers below s/n 400.Reclosers factory-equipped with Type B sensing CTs arecompatible with all Eaton Cooper Power series reclosercontrols (Form 2, Form 3, Form 3A, Form 4A, Form 4C,FXA, FXB, Form 5, Form 5 LS/UDP, Form 6, and Form 4Drecloser controls), and are identified with the following labelprominently displayed on the recloser sleet hood or thefront of the operator cabinet:NOTICERecloser is equipped with type B sensing cts.Recloser does not have a battery charger.The Form 4D recloser control can be used with the old-styleType A CTs; however, the event recorder and duty cyclemonitor will have limited accuracy for currents above5000 Amps.Retrofit kits with the new Type B sensing CTs areavailable to upgrade reclosers for operation with Form 4Drecloser controls. For additional information, contact yourEaton representative.For identification, Table 1 lists the serial number breaksbetween old-style Type A and the new-style Type B sensingCTs. Below this serial number, the recloser is equipped withthe Type A CTs.otee:N For reclosers shipped prior to June 1989 and notlisted below, contact your Eaton representative withthe recloser type and serial number for verification oftype A or B bushing current transformers.Table 1.
