Product Specifications

TripSaver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser Control Module Integration
Two electronic TripSaver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser control modules (model numbers TSII-CONTRL5 and TSII-CONTRL6) can integrate into the host self- powered cutout-mounted, electronically controlled single-phase recloser. The recloser uses a vacuum fault interrupter technology and is offered in system class voltage ratings of 15 kV and 25 kV.
The control module is an integral part of the TripSaver II recloser, and S&C will install it at the factory. End-users cannot do the installation themselves. Regardless of the model, the control module resides in the TripSaver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser’s housing, and each model’s functions remain the same for all recloser configurations. The control module processes all electrical functions required for the proper operation of the TripSaver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser.
Aside from its primary functions, the control module can be wirelessly accessed by following the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol for performing maintenance. The control module includes a radio transceiver, an antenna, and software. Information regarding the 2.4-GHz radio is provided in Table 1 . The communication protocol remains unaltered in all TripSaver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser configurations.

This control module has been granted modular approval for TripSaver II Cutout- Mounted Recloser applications. The final host TripSaver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser and control module combination have been evaluated in a certified lab for FCC Part 15B criteria for unintentional radiators to be properly authorized for operation as a Part 15 digital device. S&C will provide a test report upon request.

Control Module Models:
The TripSaver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser control module provides controls and all logic functions for the proper functionality of TripSaver II recloser. The control module has two distinct models:

1. TripSaver II Control 5 (TSII-CONTRL5) has a main control board that provides standard 5-second open intervals during the TripSaver II recloser’s reclosing sequence.
2. TripSaver II Control 6 (TSII-CONTRL6) provides extended open interval functionality, enabling a 30- second open interval during the TripSaver II recloser’s reclosing sequence. The main control board has no sufficient storage energy to implement this feature. Therefore, a battery and battery charging/discharging circuitry has been added to supply necessary energy to the control module.

Both TripSaver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser control module models cause no changes to the recloser’s outer enclosure. Overall integration and battery, battery board, and main control board assembly is shown in Figure 1

TripSaver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser USB Transceiver
To enhance the wireless connectivity between the TripSaver II recloser controller module and USB trans-ceiver, S&C recommends the use of Taoglas External antenna, model# GW.11.A153 (S&C part number 904-002523-01) with USB transceiver part number FDA-1868R2.

Connect to a TripSaver II Recloser

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.

Follow these steps to connect to a TripSaver II recloser to apply new settings:

STEP 1.
Screw the threaded bottom of the antenna into the threaded connector on the USB transceiver. See Figure 4.

STEP  2.
Install the USB transceiver.STEP 2. Install the USB transceiver.
A USB transceiver (Firmware Version 1.6) must be installed on the computer to communicate 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 (offline) mode.

STEP 3. Assemble the power supply and power up the TripSaver II Recloser.
A TripSaver II recloser must be powered by the power module to enable its communication capability. Complete the following steps before attempting to communicate with the TripSaver II recloser.

• Plug the pin of the ac adapter into the opening on the power module. See Figure 6.
• Position the power module near the base of the TripSaver II recloser, as shown in Figure 7; the module will be held in place magnetically.
• Install the proper power outlet plug adapter onto the ac adapter. See Figure 8.
• Plug the ac adapter into a wall outlet. See Figure 9.
• To verify the TripSaver II recloser is powered, rotate the MODE SELECTOR lever and observe the LCD screen. If the LCD screen begins to scroll, it indicates the unit has been successfully powered.

The setup, at the end of Step 3, should look like the picture in Figure 10.

STEP 4.
A Transceiver ID unique to each TripSaver II recloser is needed to establish communications between the computer and the recloser. The ID consists of a 32-digit character string in the format of:
“0019C900.00020000. . ”.
The TripSaver II Service Center Configuration Software v1.10 will auto-detect the Transceiver ID of TripSaver II reclosers with firmware version 1.8 or 1.9. If connection difficulties are encountered, or when connecting to a TripSaver II recloser with firmware version 1.7 or earlier, enter the Transceiver ID manually. The first 16 digits of the ID are pre-typed; only the last 16 digits must be entered.

The Transceiver ID for the TripSaver II recloser ca n be obtained through the following methods:

Method 1: The Transceiver ID is embedded in the QR code laser-etched onto the lower housing of each TripSaver II recloser. See Figure 11. Download a free QR scanner app to a smart phone and scan the QR code to obtain the Transceiver ID.

Method 2: Rotate the MODE-SELECTOR lever to initiate the Display screens after the TripSaver II recloser is powered up. The LCD screen will begin to scroll. The first screen displayed contains the Transceiver  ID. See Figure 12.
Note: This screen does not appear when communication is disabled or when no screens are added to the Display screen sequence.

Method 3: The Transceiver ID is also printed on the back of the yellow “DO NOT DROP—HANDLE WITH CARE” tag attached to each TripSaver II recloser when it leaves S&C Electric Company. See Figure 13.

STEP 5.
Connect to the device:

• To connect to a TripSaver II recloser, select Connection> Connect to Device from the main menu or click on the Connect to Device icon in the quick access toolbar. Make sure the USB transceiver is already plugged into the computer.
• Next, a Transceiver ID Request dialog box will open. Enter the Transceiver ID of the TripSaver II recloser being connected to, and click on the OK button to connect. The first 16 digits of the ID are pre-typed, so only the last 16 digits must be typed in. See Figure 14.
• During the connection process, a status bar will be displayed. See Figure 15. Wait about 10 seconds for the connection process to finish, or click on the Cancel button to cancel the connection process.
• The Status screen will open after the TripSaver II recloser is successfully connected. See Figure 16. Existing settings, status information, and event logs of the TripSaver II recloser can now be viewed, or new settings for the device can be applied.

Controller Module Specifications

The TripSaver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser contains a controller module used to control the self-powered recloser. The controller module processes all electronic/electrical functions required for the proper operation of the TripSaver II recloser. The controller can be wirelessly accessed and configured via the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol. See Figure 17 and Table 2.
