Kyle Form 5/Triple-Single Microprocessor-Based Recloser Control Installation and Operation Instructions
Control Power
The primary source of power is factory configured for 120
Vac or 240 Vac. Primary power is rectified to charge the
power capacitor and to power the dc/dc converter that
provides power to the control. A minimum of 500 mA of ac
current is required for heater operation, battery charging
current, and to keep all modules energized. The Kyle
Form 5/Triple-Single recloser control is equipped with two
dc-to-dc converters, an interface circuit, and a fully
shielded 26-pin cable.
The dc-to-dc converter boards (Figure 2) convert the con-
trol's 24 Vdc battery supply voltage to 53 Vdc to charge
the trip/close capacitors in the NOVA mechanisms. The
output of the boards is separately fused for short circuit
protection.
The dc-to-dc converter contains voltage monitoring and
conditioning circuits which protect the battery from failure
and provides trip/close operations without AC power. The
26-pin control cable interfaces the NOVA-TS Triple-Single
recloser to the Form 5/Triple-Single control through the
junction box.
Operation Upon Loss Of AC power
The control will maintain full operation from the battery
power supply for a minimum of 32 hours at 20°C (24 hours
at -40°C). To prevent battery damage, the control shuts
down automatically upon detection of low battery voltage
below 20.5 Vdc.
Control programming settings and parameters—including
event recorder, duty monitor, and data profile metering
parameters—are stored in non-volatile memory and
retained upon loss of control power. The time/date clock
resets to 0:00:00, 1970 upon loss of control power.
The AC power LED indicator on the operator panel of the
control will turn off after 15 seconds upon loss of AC
power. The indicator will illuminate immediately upon
return of ac power.

Initializing the Control
Two methods are available to initialize the Form 5/Triple-
Single control:
Method 1: Connect AC power to the input connector ter-
minal TB-1. (See the Customer Connections
for AC power section of this manual.)
Method 2: Connect the battery terminals to the control
and press the MANUAL BATTERY RECON-
NECT button located on the Form 5/Triple-Sin-
gle power supply. See Figure 4.
Note: Method 2 powers the control off the battery
and is not intended for long term operation.
In both methods, after initialization, set the control clock
via the interface software.
