Product informationIntroductionService Information MN225017EN provides installationinstructions for Eaton's Cooper Power™ series CL-7 voltageregulator control replacement assembly (CRA). Beforeinstalling and operating this control, carefully read andunderstand the contents of this manual.For installation, operation and maintenance instructionsfor the CL-7 voltage regulator control, refer to ServiceInformation MN225003EN CL-7 Voltage Regulator ControlInstallation, Operation, and Maintenance Instructions forinformation.Read this manual firstRead and understand the contents of this manual and followall locally approved procedures and safety practices beforeinstalling or operating this equipment. This control is used inconjunction with a voltage regulator. Read and understandthe appropriate voltage regulator instruction manual beforeoperating this control.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. For additionalinformation, please contact your Eaton representative.Acceptance and initial inspectionEach CRA is completely assembled, tested, and inspectedat the factory. It is in good condition when accepted by thecarrier for shipment. Upon receipt, inspect the shippingcontainer for signs of damage. Unpack the control andinspect it thoroughly for damage incurred during shipment.If damage is discovered, file a claim with the carrierimmediately.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.StandardsEaton's voltage regulator controls are designed and testedin accordance with the following standards:IEEE Std C37.90.1™-2012 standardIEEE Std C37.90.2™-2004 standardIEEE Std C57.13™-2008 standardIEEE Std C57.15™-2009 standardIEEE Std C57.91™-2011 standardIEEE Std C57.131™-2012 standardEN 50081-2EN 61000-4IEC 60068-2IEC 60214-1IEC 60255-5Quality standardsISO 9001 Certified Quality Management SystemDescriptionEaton's voltage regulator control replacement assembly(CRA) is designed to be used on single-phase regulatorsmanufactured by Siemens® Corporation, General Electric®,and Howard Industries®, as well as Eaton's Cooper Powerseries type VR-32 voltage regulators.The CRA kit utilizes the control signals common to allvoltage regulators. Designed into the CRA kits are controlcable connections and circuitry to enable an interfacebetween the CL-7 control and voltage regulators notmanufactured by Eaton.IMPORTANTCRA ApplicationsThe CRA was designed for used on single-phase voltageregulators that utilize the following circuits:• Control voltage or load-side voltage signal• Motor raise and lower circuits• Operations counter• Common or ground• CT current signal (optional)• Source-side voltage signal (optional)• Neutral light (optional)• Drag hand reset (optional)All of the signals listed are necessary for operation of theCRA unless otherwise noted as optional. Optional signalsare required in order to utilize all features of the CL-7control.1CL-7 control replacement assembly installation instructions and service information MN225017EN October 2016
