Product informationIntroductionService Information MN280049EN provides installationand operation instructions for the Form 4D pole-mountrecloser control.Refer to Service Information S280-104-2 Form 4DMicroprocessor-Based Recloser Control ProgrammingGuide and S280-104-3 Form 4D Control CommunicationsInformation for additional information.Read this manual firstRead and understand the contents of this manual and followall locally approved procedures and safety practices beforeinstalling or operating this equipment.Additional informationThese instructions cannot cover all details or variationsin the equipment, procedures, or process described, norprovide directions for meeting every possible contingencyduring installation, operation, or maintenance. Whenadditional information is desired to satisfy a problem notcovered sufficiently for the user’s purpose, contact yourEaton representative.ANSI StandardsEaton’s Cooper Power series reclosers are designed andtested in accordance with applicable sections of the followingANSI standards: C37.60 and C37.85 and ANSI Guide C37.61.Quality standardsISO 9001 Certified Quality Management SystemAcceptance and initial inspectionEach Form 4D recloser control is completely assembled,tested, and inspected at the factory. It is carefully calibrated,adjusted and in good condition when accepted by the carrierfor shipment.Upon receipt, inspect the carton for signs of damage.Unpack the control and inspect it thoroughly for damageincurred during shipment. If damage is discovered, file aclaim with the carrier immediately.Handling and storageBe careful during handling and storage of the control tominimize the possibility of damage. If the control is to bestored for any length of time prior to installation, provide aclean, dry storage area. If storage is in a humid atmosphere,make provisions to keep the control circuitry energized.otee:N To energize the control, apply AC power to the ACsupply input terminal block located in the lower righthand corner of the back panel of the control. Refer tothe Customer Connections for AC Power section inthis manual.otee:N When opened, both the cabinet door and the insideswing panel door lock into the open position. Liftthe door or swing panel up to raise the hinge out ofthe locking position prior to closing the inside swingpanel door or the cabinet door.Control battery storage and chargingThe 24 VDC control battery in the Form 4D recloser controlis shipped in a charged state that is ready for use.IMPORTANTTo maintain sufficient charge to operate the controland prevent battery cell damage, the sealed lead-acidbatteries should be charged after no more than threemonths of storage.Temperature has an effect on battery life. Sealedlead acid batteries should be stored, fully charged, atroom temperature. Avoid storing lead acid batteries attemperatures exceeding 47°C (117°F), as damage can resultin approximately one month.DANgERHazardous voltage. Do not connect potentialtransformer low-voltage secondaries to the controlthrough cables or other wiring until the unit is installedin the field. Transformer high-voltage primary windingswill become live when 120/240v AC is applied to thecontrol from an alternate source if the transformersecondary is connected. Failure to comply may result insevere personal injury or death. T371.2WARNINgHazardous voltage. Before applying power to the control,confirm that male pins of the input power receptacle areelectrically insulated to prevent unintentional contactwith 120/240v AC voltage. Failure to do so may result insevere personal injury or death. T372.1To keep the battery charged, energize the control with ACpower applied to the user AC supply input connector blockTB1. See Customer Connections for AC Power. In addition, ifpower to the control is not possible a separate portable chargeraccessory is available. Catalog Number KA43ME7001 providesa 120 Volt battery charger to power individual batteries.IMPORTANTConnect the control battery before AC power isconnected to the control’s AC supply Input TerminalBlock. The battery must be disconnected prior toshipping or storing the control.otee:N When shipped from the factory the battery will be inthe same carton as the control. The battery leads willbe taped to the battery casing. Connect the batteryplugs into the mating connectors to complete thebattery circuit.1operation inStrUCtionS MN280049EN September 2017Form 4D Microprocessor-based pole-mount recloser control installation and operation instructions
