6.3 Breaker Control
Breaker-IQ® is capable of iniang a manual Trip and manual Close command, including a user-set me delay (0-30 seconds) if the command is iniated by the user at the front panel. This me delay allows the user to safely move away from the breaker before it operates.

When at the main screen, tap the Configuraon

menu buton

. The Security Code entry screen

will appear (unless the Security Code has already

been successfully entered during the same user

session). Once the code is successfully entered, tap

the

buton.

The following screen will be displayed.

6.3.1 Delayed Trip
The Trip command trips the breaker via a signal to the trip actuator. This occurs via a USB communicaons command from Breaker-IQ to ACPRO-II. The breaker must be closed for the Trip command to be praccal or available. In addion, the Actuator circuit must be complete (not open) for the command to be available.
For these trips, trip data is recorded, including date/me, RMS values, and breaker mechanism me. Recording of the breaker mechanism me is part of URC’s Sluggish Breaker Detecon® feature. These trips are logged as “Safe-T-Trip” trip type. When the trip command is executed, all other Breaker-IQ communicaons will cease while the handshake and command between the Breaker-IQ and AC-PRO-II is executed. This includes LED status.
To execute a delayed trip command: 1. Navigate to the Breaker Control screen (shown in previous secon of this manual).

2. Use the

and

butons

to select the desired delay (to allow for

walking a safe distance away). The delay

range is 0-30 seconds.

Figure 29: Breaker Control screen
Note: The Trip and Close butons will be displayed or hidden, depending on the breaker posion, the Breaker-IQ sengs, and the trip unit sengs.

3. Tap the

buton.

4. Ensure all safety precauons are taken and

confirm you want to Trip the breaker by

tapping “Yes”. (see screenshot in this

secon).

5. The delay countdown will begin. (see

screenshot in this secon) Walk away to a

safe locaon.

6.3.2 Delayed Close
The Close command sends a signal to the exisng breaker close coil (or spring release). This can be accomplished in two different ways:
Opon 1: Breaker-IQ Output 2 is wired into the close circuit: In this opon, the Breaker-IQ outputs a signal that is wired to a close relay and then wired to the close circuit in the switchgear.
This opon may be preferred in applicaons where breaker control power is available on or near the switchgear door, since the new wiring into the close circuit occurs in the switchgear.
See the Installaon secon of this manual for wiring diagrams showing Breaker-IQ wired into the close circuit. See the Outputs and Sengs secon of this manual for sengs instrucons. (Output 2 must be programmed for “Close Bkr”.) Contact URC for close relay opons.
Opon 2: AC-PRO-II is wired into the close circuit: In this opon, the Breaker- IQ sends a communicaons command via USB to the AC-PRO-II. The AC-PRO-II must have v4 firmware or later, must be wired into the close circuit on the breaker, and must be and programmed accordingly.

To execute a successful close operaon, the breaker must be equipped with a close coil, must have close control voltage present, and the close circuit must be wired properly through the AC-PRO-II or the BreakerIQ. In addion, the breaker must be open and either the trip unit OR the Breaker-IQ sengs must be programmed properly.

To execute a delayed close command: 1. Navigate to the Breaker Control screen (shown in the previous secon of this manual).

2. Use the

and

butons

to select the desired delay (to allow for

walking a safe distance away). The delay

range is 0-30 seconds.

3. Tap the

buton.

4. Ensure all safety precauons are taken and

confirm you want to Close the breaker by

tapping “Yes”. (see screenshot in this

secon).

5. The delay countdown will begin. Walk away

to a safe locaon.

This opon may be preferred in applicaons where the customer prefers the new close circuit wiring to occur on the breaker.

See the AC-PRO-II Instrucon manual for an example wiring diagram of AC-PRO-II wired into the close circuit, and for related AC-PRO-II sengs. htps://ulityrelay.com/PDFs/Product_Manuals/I-ACPRO-II.pdf Contact URC for close relay opons.

Notes: 1.

If both the AC-PRO-II and Breaker-IQ are programmed for the Close breaker feature, then the signal is sent via Breaker-IQ.

6.5 Wireless Comm & Settings
The BREAKER-IQ® is capable of Wireless communicaons with a Windows PC with a URC Wireless dongle and URC InfoPro-AC soware applicaon.

A USB Wireless dongle is available from URC. This device can be used to allow a Windows PC to wirelessly communicate with BREAKER-IQ.

When the connecon is established and authencated, InfoPro-AC soware is capable of all funcons (same funcons as USB cable connecon).

For wireless communicaon to be acve, the Wireless (circuitry) switch on the back of the unit must be ON, and the user must enable wireless communicaon using the front screen and butons.
Establishing a wireless connecon is a secure process, including generaon and entry of unique 6digit PIN. The unique PIN is randomly generated each me per industry standard security methods. In addion, in the process of enabling the wireless feature, the user sets a “Timeout” (idle meout) seng each me a wireless session is started. The idle mer starts when communicaon is not occurring. The idle mer is reset when communicaon occurs. If the mer reaches the user set “meout”, the radio will be disabled (Mode switches to OFF).
The wireless (circuitry) switch on the back of the BREAKER-IQ allows the wireless radio circuitry to be switched “ON” or “OFF”. The switch is not accessible aer the BREAKER-IQ is installed. When the switch is in the “ON” posion, it simply means the feature is capable of being turned ON by the user: The radio is “OFF”, unless the user enables the feature using the front screen and butons. (when the radio is actually ON, the (blue) Wireless LED will flash). When the switch in the “OFF” posion: The radio circuitry is disabled and the feature is not accessible using the front screen and butons. URC recommends installing the BREAKER-IQ with the wireless switch “ON”, unless the facility does not permit such features.

USB Wireless dongle (available from URC)
Wireless security notes:
The BREAKER-IQ is designed for “Secured Connecon Only Mode” (“Secure Mode 1” with “Security Level 4”) meaning all incoming and outgoing traffic involves authencated connecons and encrypon. Any device trying to connect that doesn’t support secure connecons is disconnected.
Presently, pairing is required every me a connecon is established. The user must be at the Breaker-IQ to view the PIN.
Wireless communicaons will cease (Mode will automacally switch to OFF) if URC communicaons does not occur for a certain period of me (idle meout ­ described elsewhere in this secon). In addion, there are several means of disconnecng and/or disabling wireless communicaons as described elsewhere in this Secon.
The next page includes instrucons for establishing a wireless connecon with BREAKER-IQ.

The Wireless (blue) LED flashes “fast” (mulple flashes per second) when the unit is “adversing” or “pairing”. This occurs when the radio is on, but the BREAKER-IQ is not yet connected to anything, or was disconnected. The LED flashes “slow” (about 0.5 sec ON, 0.5 sec OFF) when a secure connecon is established.
