Overview

This instruction sheet was prepared for use with software UPPD106S.

You can find the release date on the Setup disk label. For questions regarding the appli-

cability of information in this instruction sheet to future software releases, please con-

tact S&C.

These instructions do NOT replace the need for utility operation standards. Any con-

flict between the information in this document and utility practices should be re-

viewed by appropriate utility personnel and a decision made as to the correct

procedures to follow.

Serious risk of personal injury or death may result from contact with electric distri-

bution equipment when electrical isolation and grounding procedures are not fol-

lowed. The equipment described in this document must be operated and maintained

by qualified persons who are thoroughly trained and understand any hazards that

may be involved. This document is written only for such qualified persons and is not

a substitute for adequate training and experience in safety procedures for accessing

high voltage equipment.

This control is connected to capacitors operating at primary voltage levels. High volt-

age may be present in the wiring to the control or the control itself during certain fail-

ures of the capacitor bank wiring or grounding system, or due to a failure of the

capacitor bank itself. For this reason, access to the control should be treated with the

same safety precautions that would be applied when accessing other high voltage

lines and equipment. Follow all locally-approved safety procedures when working on

or around this control.

Before attempting to access an existing switch installation, check carefully for visible

or audible signs of electrical or physical malfunction (do this before touching or op-

erating the control or any other part of the installation). These warning signs include

such things as smoke, fire, open fuses, crackling noises, loud buzzing, etc. If a mal-

function is suspected, treat all components of the installation, including the control

and associated mounting hardware, as if they were elevated to primary (high) volt-

age.

All the following tools and BankGuard PLUS features are used to diagnose and correct

BankGuard PLUS problems.
