FOR LIFE

Introduction

Service Information S280-42-3 provides installation and
operation instructions for the Kyle
microprocessor-based electronic recloser controls. This

ANSI Standards

Kyle reclosers are designed and tested in accordance
with the following ANSI standards: C37.60 and C37.85
and ANSI Guide C37.61.

Quality Standards

ISO 9001:2000 Certified Quality Management System
Acceptance and
Initial Inspection
Each Form 5/Triple-Single control is completely assem-
bled, tested, and inspected at the factory. It is carefully
calibrated, adjusted, and in good condition when
accepted by the carrier for shipment.
Upon receipt, inspect the carton for signs of damage.
Unpack the control and inspect it thoroughly for damage
incurred during shipment. If damage is discovered, file a
claim with the carrier immediately.

Handling and Storage

Be careful during handling and storage of the control to
minimize the possibility of damage. If the control is to be
stored for any length of time prior to installation, provide
a clean, dry storage area. If storage is in a humid atmo-
sphere, make provisions to keep the control circuitry
energized.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

® Form 5/Triple-Single
® Type NOVA-TS
Note: To energize the control, apply AC power to the AC sup-
ply input connector block TB1 located left of the
Recloser Interface (RIF) module within the control.
Refer to the Customer Connection for AC power sec-
tion in this manual.
Control Battery Storage and Charging
Two 12 Vdc, 13- Amp-hour control batteries in the Form
5/Triple-Single control are fully charged prior to shipment
and is ready for use.
Note: When shipped from the factory, the battery source is dis-
connected and its output plugs are taped to the cabinet.
Connect the battery plugs into the mating connectors to
complete the battery circuit.
IMPORTANT: Connect the control battery when AC
power is connected to the control's AC supply Input
Terminal Block. The battery must be disconnected
prior to shipping or storing the control.
Temperature has an effect on battery life. Sealed lead
acid batteries should be stored, fully-charged, at room
temperature. Never store lead acid batteries at tempera-
ture exceeding 47°C (117°F), as damage can result in
approximately one month.
To keep the batteries charged, energize the control's
built-in charger with AC power applied to the user AC sup-
ply input connector block TB1, located left of the RIF mod-
ule within the control cabinet.
IMPORTANT: To maintain sufficient charge to oper-
ate the control and prevent battery cell damage, the
sealed lead-acid batteries should be charged after no
more than three months of storage.

Battery Replacement

In a typical application, the life expectancy of a lead acid
battery is three to five years. To determine the state of the
battery, perform a bench battery test. Battery replacement
is recommended after four years for lead acid batteries or
if the battery fails the bench battery test procedure. The
Form 5/Triple-Single control batteries have different dimen-
sions; therefore, if the replacement battery ordered is a dif-
ferent brand than the original battery, a kit with mounting
hardware may be required.

Battery Disposal

Dispose expired batteries in an environmentally responsi-
ble manner. Consult local regulations for proper battery
disposal.
