SAFETY
FOR LIFE
TESTING AND TROUBLESHOOTING
CAUTION: Equipment misoperation. Do not
connect this control to an energized recloser
until all control settings have been properly pro-
grammed and verified. Refer to the programming
information for this control. Failure to comply can
result in control and recloser misoperation, equip-
ment damage and personal injury.
IMPORTANT: The Form 5 recloser control can be
taken out of service for testing and placed back into
service without de-energizing its recloser and interrupt-
ing the system. However, during the time the control is
out of service, the recloser is inoperative.
Testing an Installed Control
The following tests to determine initial operation of the
Form 5 control can be performed while connected to an
operating recloser. These are the only tests performed on
an installed, operating control. All other tests described in
this Testing and Troubleshooting section require the
Form 5 control to be removed from service, connected to
a bypassed recloser, or tested at a location where the
proper testing equipment is available.
1. Wake-up the operator panel display by pressing the
CHANGE/LAMP TEST button on the control operator
panel.
2. Scroll through the LCD display messages as
described in the LCD Display Messages section of
these instructions. Refer to Form 5 Control operator
panel section of this manual.
Check the operational values for currents, voltages,
and other metering information.
3. Check that the LED for AC power is illuminated on the
control operator panel. This indicates the presence of
AC power.
4. Test battery operation, using the procedures
described in the Battery Test Procedure section of
these instructions.
Check CPU Status
Check the operating status of the CPU module. Open the
cabinet door and locate the LED indicator (Figure 40).
The LED indicator on the CPU module should flash at a
rate of one flash per second for normal 60 Hz operation
(slightly faster for 50Hz).
Testing With Type MET Tester
The Kyle Type MET Electronic Recloser Control Tester
(Figure 41) is used for testing the Form 5 control.
The MET Tester is completely self-contained, includes all
necessary metering and interconnecting cables, and is
capable of performing all required checks and tests from
a simple verification of operation to a complete verification

of all operating parameters. Refer to Service Information
S280-76-1 Type MET Electronic Recloser Control Tester
Operator Instructions for proper setup and use of the MET
tester. Refer to Form 5 Control Default Test Procedure
section of this manual for specific tests requiring the
KMET Tester.
IMPORTANT: The Form 5 DC NOVA control cannot
be tested with the standard Kyle MET Tester. A junc-
tion box accessory for the MET tester is available for
testing the Form 5 DC NOVA control.
IMPORTANT: When the control is open and current
is present, the Trip Fail detection circuit in the Form 5
control will activate when the Kyle Type MET tester
CALIBRATE switch is ON. Depress and hold the
RESET TARGET keypad on the control for 3 seconds
to reset the condition.
