CONTROL ELEMENTS
The recloser is latched in the Lockout state until a "reset from lockout" signal is asserted, either from a manual close of the
breaker or from a manual reset command (local or remote). The reset from lockout can be accomplished by operator
command, by manually closing the breaker, or whenever the breaker has been closed and stays closed for a preset time.
After the dead time elapses, the scheme issues the close signal. The close signal is latched until the breaker closes or the
scheme goes to Lockout.
A reset timer output resets the recloser following a successful reclosure sequence. The reset time is based on the breaker
"reclaim time," which is the minimum time required between successive reclose sequences.

— A reset timer output resets the recloser following a successful reclosure sequence. The setting is based

AR1 INCOMPLETE SEQ TIME
whenever a reclosure is initiated and is active when the scheme is in the "reclose-in-progress" state. If all conditions
allowing a breaker closure are not satisfied when this time expires, the scheme goes to Lockout.
This timer must be set to a delay less than the reset timer.
