easy reading, with backlighting option.

„„ The contrast is field-adjustable to allow for various mounting

heights and applications.

„„ The backlight will shut off automatically after 15 minutes of

inactivity.

Display LCD Module

Large Function Keys The large function keys allows quick access to frequently used
operations:

„„ TRIP (LOCKOUT): to manually trip (lockout) the recloser. When

pressed, it will opens the recloser and locks out the control.

„„ CLOSE: to manually close the control, i.e. returns the control to the
initial or home sequence position, closing the recloser. The control is
now ready for the start of a new trip / close sequence.

„„ HOT LINE TAG ON/OFF: This is provided for live-line work

applications. When activated, all closing attempts from the control are
disabled, and shifts protection to one trip-to-lockout on the composite
curve of the Hot Line Tag definite time and the TCC1 curve (whichever
is faster). Hot Line Tag takes precedence over Cold Load Pickup,
Large Function Keys Non-Reclosing, and Fast Trips Disabled.

„„ Refer to the section (Instant Status Notifications) for more details

on GND TRIP BLOCKED, NON RECLOSE, SUPERVISORY OFF and
SGF/SEF BLOCKED.

Instant Status Notifications

The status LED indicators provide instant notification on the control
and recloser status. The respective LED indicators will be turned on
as follows:

„„ Phase Fault A, B, C, Ground Fault, Sensitive Ground Fault (SGF) /

Sensitive Earth Fault (SEF): the control issues an overcurrent trip signal
where the respective phase current or the ground current exceeds the
minimum pickup value;

„„ ABOVE MIN. TRIP: the control detects that current is above the
programmed minimum trip value for Bushings 1-2, Bushings 3-4,
Bushings 5-6, Ground or Sensitive Ground;

„„ LOCKOUT: the control is in the lockout state, i.e. a reclosing

sequence is not in progress;

„„ OPEN: the recloser is in open position;

Recloser Status LED Indicators
„„ CLOSED: the recloser is in close position;

„„ ALARM: a line fault has occurred;

„„ CONTROL OK: the control has passed self diagnostics and is

capable of normal operation;

„„ AC POWER: the control is using AC power supply for its operations;

„„ BATTERY: the battery power health status;

„„ GND TRIP BLOCKED: Group Trip Blocked has been activated

from the front panel keypad, supervisory control, or programming.

„„ NON RECLOSE: Non reclose operation has been activated via the
front panel keypad, supervisory control, or programming.

„„ SUPERVISORY OFF: supervisory commands are blocked when

activated via the operator panel. Operational data and metering
information are available.

„„ SGF/SEF BLOCKED: Sensitive Ground Fault (SGF) / Sensitive

Earth Fault (SEF) Blocked has been activated via the front panel
keypad, supervisory control, or programming.

Secured Control Access „„ In addition to physical access security, the FXD recloser control
is equipped with programmable security codes to limit control
programming to authorised personnels.

Programmable Control The font panel of the FXD control can be used to program and query
the control, as well as display metering and alarm information. The
Software
features supported by the software include:

„„ IEC Time Current Curves (TCC) are available for user selection.
Each TCC is available for phase trip or ground fault trip timing. Both
phase and ground TCC can be programmed independently for each
trip operation of the programmed number of trip operations to lockout,
up to the maximum of four trip operations. Kyle curves are available
on request. TCC multiplier, Constant Time Adder, and Minimum
Response Time can be changed for any of the TCC.

„„ After an extended outage, the Cold Load Pickup function is used

during service restoration. This feature transfers operation from the
normal program phase to ground TCC’s to a separate programmable
TCC for a programmable time of 1 seconds to 60 seconds. It supports
up to a maximum of four (4) operations can be programmable.

„„ The Reclose Retry function is used to interrupt the closing signal to

the recloser when closing power is lost. The CLOSE signals are issued
at regular intervals until closing power is restored. The number of retry
attempts and service retry duration can be programmed.

„„ High Current Trip function will bypass the normal TCC and trip
the recloser with a programmable constant when the fault current
exceeds the programmed minimum trip. It can be configured for any
trip operations of the operating sequence.

„„ High Current Lockout function is used to automatically lockout

the control when the current exceeds a programmed threshold. The
active number of operations-to-lockout is selectable for both phase
and ground.

„„ Sensitive Ground Fault Trip provides tripping of the recloser after

a programmable, definite time for ground (zero sequence) currents
lockout counter. This option is available in both normal ground
minimum trip and alternate ground minimum trip settings.

„„ An Event Recorder records and store the recent 100 events in

non-volatile memory. The information stored includes date and time
of the event occurrence, the event type, and circuit currents on all
three phase and ground (including the fault current for overcurrent trip
event).

„„ The FXD control is equipped with metering capabilities to display

Ampere, Volt, KWh, KVAR, KVA, Power Factor, and frequency.

„„ The FXD control include SCADA functionality as an optional feature

that includes a Supervisory ON-OFF key and a Hot Line Tag indicator
at the front panel that will generate operational and status reports.
