Introduction

General
The N-Series remotely controlled and monitored automatic circuit recloser (ACR) consists of a N-Series
automatic circuit recloser (ACR) combined with an ADVC Controller.
The N-Series ACR:
 consists of vacuum interrupters in a sealed, stainless steel tank.
 tank is filled with sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) gas.
 uses a pressure transducer to monitor gas pressure in the tank.
 can be directly fitted to the ACR using surge arresters and should be fitted at installation.
 voltages are measured on each of the six bushings.
 current is measured on each phase.
 itself retains information such as serial number, switchgear type, operations and contact wear,
independently of the ADVC.
 can be tripped from the ground by a hookstick and then be locked out by opening the isolating switches
located on the ADVC.
 has a clearly visible, external pointer shows whether the ACR is tripped or closed.

The ACR field-fitting kit includes a polymeric bushing boot and predetermined length of
120 mm2,185 mm2, or 240 mm2 aluminum, insulated water-tight cable tail rated at 250 A, 400 A, 630 A for
each of the six bushings.
 The ACR is connected to the ADVC Controller via a control cable through the base of the ADVC.
 The ACR can be connected into an insulated or bare conductor system.
The ADVC Controller reads and displays the information which is stored in the ACR and provides
protection and communication properties for the ACR.
 The ADVC Controller consists of:
 an electronic switchgear controller that monitors the ACR, and provides communication and
protection functions. (CAPE).
 an operator interface mounted on the CAPE.
 a power supply which also supplies power for customer equipment.
 an accessories and customer equipment compartment.
 ADVC is powered by an auxiliary voltage supply of 110, 220, or 240 volts AC.
 ADVC is connected to the ACR via a detachable control cable.
The customer compartment provides ample room for equipment. Standard communications cables can
be used for connection to the communications ports on the ADVC and power is readily accessible from
the programmable power terminal block. For more information, refer Communications and Accessories

 Installation

Control Cable Connection

When installing or testing the ACR it is necessary to connect and disconnect the control cable either from
the ACR, the ADVC or both. The control cable is plugged into the base of the ACR and the other end into
the ADVC at the bottom, right-most socket on the Control and Protection Enclosure (CAPE).
The following is the list of correct technique for cable connection:
 Power down the control cubicle by switching off all MCBs. This should be done whenever connecting
or disconnecting the control cable.
 To connect the control cable, hold the plug by the long sides, check orientation, gently locate it on the
socket and push firmly home. Check whether it has locked by wriggling the plug. If the plug cannot be
pushed on with moderate force, then it has not been located properly. Heavy force is never required.
 To disconnect the control cable, hold the plug by the short sides and grip hard to release the clips inside
the plug (not visible). Wriggle the plug to allow the clips to release. Then pull out the plug.

CAUTION
UNPROTECTED OUTPUTS
Never pull out the plug by the cable.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

Testing & Configuring

The tests can be carried out on site or in the workshop as preferred.
Unpack the crate as above and put the HV cables, boots, and the control cable in a clean preserved place
where they are not damaged and not soiled. Make a temporary earth connection between the ADVC and
the ACR. 1 mm2 copper wire is adequate for this purpose.
Raise the ACR using a crane or forklift in order to remove safely gain access to the bottom of the N-Series
ACR. For more information, refer figure Handling the control cable plug (see page 17).

Unbolt the cover plate over the switch cable entry module (SCEM) compartment on the bottom of the ACR
and connect the ACR end of the control cable to the SCEM.

Site Installation

General
NOTE: If you are replacing a pole-top control cubicle (PTCC) or an original ADVC Controller (Ver 43 or
earlier) with an ADVC Controller (Ver 44 or above), the following should be considered:
The following steps are performed for installing the ADVC controller:
 The ADVC Controller have different mounting points to the PTCC.
 The connection to the auxiliary supply enters the cubicle at a different point.
 The earth stud is in a different position.
 Accessory cables may need extending.
 Unlike the PTCC which required an auxiliary power supply rating of 50 VA, the ADVC Controller requires
200 VA.
 If the auxiliary supply is provided by an external VT connected through the ACR, there are limitations to
the supply ratings of equipment powered by the radio power supply. For an external VT, the maximum
continuous current drawn from the radio supply should be limited to 0.5 amps.
 The ADVC Controller (Ver 44 or above) door is held open by a door stay mechanism which stops the
door swinging or blowing shut. To disengage the door, stay follow the directions on the operator sheet
located on the inside of the door.

Cable Tail Connections
HV cables are supplied in one of two forms:
 Fitted with a lug to be bolted to a factory fitted palm on the end of the bushing (250 or 400, or 800 A),
 Fitted with a threaded termination that is screwed into the bushing (630 A).

In both cases, the procedure is to attach the cable to the bushing and then cover with the bushing boot as
detailed in the following sections.
 The bushing is supplied clean and protected with a plastic cap. Ensure this is undisturbed and the
bushing body and tin plated central conductor or palm are clean and undamaged. If the bushing has
become soiled, then clean with methylated spirits. Sand or brush the aluminium palm to remove oxide.
 Grease the bushing and the conductor with the silicone grease provided (part number 990000350).
 Unpack the cable tail and bushing boots. Check that the cable termination and the boot are clean and
undamaged. If necessary, clean with methylated spirits.
NOTE: As you fill the boot with grease, keep sliding it down the cable as this pushes the grease up into
the boot.

N00-808 08/2019 21
Installation

 Push the boot down the cable to a distance approximately 1 m from the termination (place a small
amount of grease on the closed end of the boot to assist the boot to slide down the cable). Fill the
bushing boot with the silicone grease provided, starting at the closed end and finishing approx. 60 mm
from the open end of the boot.
 For 630 A cables terminated with a screw thread, ensure that the thread, locknut and bushing surfaces
are clean and dry. Screw the tail into the bushing by turning the whole cable tail. Tighten to 50 Nm using
a spanner across the brass locknut fitted. Take care to apply only twisting forces to the terminal (no
shear force).
 For 250, 400 A and 630 A cables terminated with a lug, smear with aluminum jointing paste and bolt the
lug to the bushing palm with the two M10 bolts are provided and tightened to 44 Nm using a 17 mm
socket.
NOTE: When making the 800 A cable tail line connection, suitable steps must be taken to prevent water
ingress to the cable.
 For 800 A copper cables terminated with a lug, smear with aluminium jointing paste and bolt the lug to
the bushing palm. Because of the weight of the cable, it may be difficult to fit the bolts through the lug
and the bushing palm while holding the cable. Therefore using an M10 bolt from the packing crate,
temporarily insert the M10 through the rear of one of the holes in the palm. Fit the corresponding hole
in the tail over the M10 bolt. Insert a cap head socket screw into the other hole from the lug side and
partially tighten it. Remove the M10 bolt. Insert the second cap head socket screw through the lug and
tighten both screws to 22 Nm using an 8 mm (5/16 in) hex key.
 Grease the surface of the bushing, slide the bushing boot down over the bushing while rotating the boot
to and fro. Fix into place using the clamping ring and spanner provided. The bottom of the boot should
be firmly seated on the side of the LBS tank. During the clamping process, silicone may bleed from the
top of the boot where the cable tail comes out. This is normal and can be assisted by sliding a small
screwdriver into the boot alongside the cable tail but be careful not to damage the bushing. Silicone
grease will also come out around the bottom of the bushing. This is normal. Wipe off excess silicone
grease with a clean cloth.
The insulated cables supplied by the manufacturer are rated for use at the following voltages and ratings:

Up to 15 kV 100 mm minimum clearance phase to phase, or phase to earth

>15 kV to 38 kV 150 mm minimum clearance phase to phase, or phase to earth

 Installation

Surge Arrester Mounting and Terminating

The ACR is type tested for Impulse Withstand Voltages up to 170 kV depending on the model. For more
information, refer Ratings and Specifications (see page 107). When there is a possibility that lightning or
network switching conditions may produce peak voltages in excess of 70 % of the Impulse Withstand
Voltage, the manufacturer recommends the use of suitably rated surge arresters connected to each
terminal of the ACR.
The arresters should be mounted on the mounting brackets supplied by the manufacturer and earthed as
described in figure Common Earthing and L.V Supply (see page 27). Detected failure to install correctly
the adequately rated surge arresters may result in warranty claims being declared void.
Mounting brackets are provided for surge arresters on the tank of the ACR. This is shown in figure HV
termination (see page 30) and ACR Mounting and Dimensions (see page 25). The surge arresters can be
mounted on top of the brackets or clamped to the side of the brackets using the holes provided. Top holes
are 12 mm diameter, side holes are 16 mm diameter. In this way most types of surge arrester can be
accommodated.
The brackets are tilted to maximize phase/phase clearance. Check that phase/phase and phase/earth
clearance is sufficient for their particular surge arresters and line voltages. For some types of side clamping
surge arresters, the phase/earth clearance may be insufficient at the center phase on the pole side at
higher voltages. In this case the surge arrester can be mounted on the side of the power pole or an
increased clearance ACR mounting bracket fitted.
Connections from the surge arresters to the cable tails can be made by stripping off the cable tail insulation
and using a parallel or "T" type clamp to make the connection to the cable tail. The connection should be
made far enough up the tail so that phase/ phase and phase/earth clearances are maintained. The cable
tail is watertight, so additional water blocking where the insulation has been removed is not required,
however it is a good practice to tape the joint using a bitumen or mastic tape, to maintain the cabling system
insulation.
NOTE: The 800 A cable is not water-blocked, so must be taped.

CAUTION
RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
If the arresters are not mounted close to ACR, the protection they provide is significantly reduced.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

Earthing (Grounding)

DANGER
HAZARD OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
 Do not earth surge arresters by a different path, doing this may cause damage to the control
electronics or ACR.
 Also, any antenna should be bonded to the ACR or the main earth bond.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Figure Common Earthing and LV Supply (see page 27) shows the earthing (grounding) common to all
installations.
This arrangement earths the ACR frame and the surge arresters directly to earth through a main earth bond
consisting of a copper conductor of 70 mm2. Any surges flow down this path.
The control cubicle is connected to this main earth bond by a tee-off. The control cubicle electronics are
internally protected from potential differences which may occur between the ACR frame and control cubicle
frame while surge currents are flowing down the main earth bond. No other connections to earth from the
control cubicle are allowed since surge currents flow in those paths. Follow this arrangement on both
conducting and insulating power poles.
Keep the main earth bond physically separated from the control cable, as they run down the power pole,
by the maximum spacing available and at least 150 mm.

N00-808 08/2019 23
Installation

LV Auxiliary Power from Mains

Where the LV mains are connected to the control cubicle to provide auxiliary power, the connection must
connect the neutral of the LV system to a tee-off from the main earth bond as shown in figure Common
Earthing and LV Supply (see page 27). A low voltage surge arrester must also be fitted from the LV phase
connection to this tee-off.
This connection scheme bonds the LV and HV earths and so protects the primary insulation of the auxiliary
supply transformer in the control cubicle when surge currents are flowing. Fit additional LV surge arresters
to all the other LV phases (if they exist), to balance the supply for other users connected to the LV system.
If local conditions or wiring rules prohibit bonding the HV and LV systems in this way, providing the auxiliary
supply to the control cubicle from the LV mains system is not possible. Instead, use one of the alternative
arrangements detailed below.

LV Auxiliary Power from Dedicated Utility Transformer

Figure Utility Auxiliary Transformer (see page 29) shows wiring and earthing if a dedicated transformer is
supplied by the utility. Note that this should not be used to supply any other equipment without consulting
the manufacturer, which helps to ensure that no hazard is caused to the control cubicle electronics.
Figure Utility Auxiliary Transformer (see page 29) shows that the transformer and any steelwork is earthed
to the switchgear tank and that one side of the transformer secondary is earthed to the earth stud on the
equipment panel inside the control cubicle.

24 N00-808 08/2019
 Installation

Auxiliary Power from Integrated Transformer

The manufacturer can provide a dedicated voltage transformer outside the ACR tank which connects
directly into the control electronics. This is called an Integrated Auxiliary Supply.An external transformer is
mounted on the pole as shown in figure Utility Auxiliary Transformer (see page 29) which also shows
suggested HV connections. The secondary of the external transformer connects into the SCEM on the
underside of the ACR. To connect the transformer secondary, remove the SCEM compartment cover plate,
pass the cable which is pre-fitted with a cable gland through the hole, secure the gland, connect the
auxiliary supply to the screw terminal block on the SCEM and replace the compartment cover.
No additional earthing for Integrated Auxiliary Supply is required in addition to the common earthing shown
in figure Utility Auxiliary Transformer (see page 29).

DANGER
HAZARD OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
If the secondary of the VT is earthed, electronics damage occurs.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Radio Antenna
Mount the antenna and run the antenna feed or an external communication cable to the ADVC. The
communication cable/radio antenna, enters the cubicle via the 16 mm hole that is provided below the
cubicle.

CAUTION
RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Switch off the ADVC before installing the accessories.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

Protection of Radio Equipment

It is highly advisable to connect a gas discharge type of surge arrester in the antenna feed to the radio.
Negligence to do so results in loss of radio and control electronics protection, if the ACR is subject to
lightning activity, which could lead to complete electronic breakdown.
A feed-through or bulkhead type arrester fitted to the bottom of the control cubicle is recommended. If fitted
internally, the surge arrester should be earthed to an equipment panel mounting stud by the shortest
possible wire. Holes are provided for a bulkhead surge arrester.
If a surge arrester is not fitted, then the co-axial earth screen should be earthed to the equipment panel by
the shortest possible wire.
NOTE: A problem of this nature is not covered by the product general warranty arrangements.

Customer Compartment
At the bottom of the customer equipment tray, is an accessory mounting rail to install the customer
equipment and accessories.
Equipment installed in this compartment can be powered from the terminal block and can also be mounted
on the rail.
Connecting to the Terminal Block
Step A: Insert a 4 mm screwdriver or similar tool into the square hole above the appropriate wiring point
on the terminal block. Angle the head of the screwdriver slightly upwards and push it in, then lever it
downwards.

32 N00-808 08/2019
 Step B: This action correctly positions the wiring clamp so that the stripped end of the cable can be
inserted. Release and remove the screwdriver, then gently tug the inserted cable so that it is firmly gripped.
Refer above image.

Radio/Modem Power
The battery-backed power supply for a radio/modem is provided on the terminal block as described above.
For correct radio connection point, refer to above figure for Accessory Mounting Tray and Terminal Block
Connection.
The radio/modem power supply voltage is set by the user in the following menu page:

SYSTEM STATUS → RADIO → S → Radio Supply 12 V

ENGINEER MENU → CONFIGURATION MENU → RADIO SETTINGS → Radio Supply 12 V

This is a password protected parameter.
If there is an auxiliary power outage, then battery power can be conserved by automatically shutting down
the radio/modem power supply. The shutdown takes place after the radio holdup time is elapsed. This
parameter is set in:

System Status → RADIO → S: Radio Hold 60 min

ENGINEER MENU → CONFIGURATION MENU → RADIO SETTINGS → Radio Hold 60 min

If the Radio Hold time is set to zero, then the radio supply will not shut down except under special
circumstances or until the unit power shutdown. The radio/modem power supply is restored when the
auxiliary supply returns to normal.
The radio/modem power supply can be turned on or off by the operator, for radio maintenance without
entering a password in:

System Status → RADIO → S: Radio Supply ON/OFF

ENGINEER MENU → CONFIGURATION MENU → RADIO SETTINGS → Radio Supply ON/OFF

When there is shut down of the radio supply, it is indicated on these pages.

Input Output Expander (IOEX3) Installation

Introduction
IOEX3 module is a die-cast, sealed enclosure that provides optically isolated inputs and voltage free
outputs to allow connection to external devices.
Either one or two IOEX3 modules can be used with each ADVC Controller. The second IOEX3 module is
only available with the ADVC ULTRA cubicle, fitted with the optional upper customer tray. When two IOEX3
modules are used, they are designated as IOEX-A and IOEX-B.
IOEX3 modules, purchased at the time of initial ordering, comes readily installed in the cubicle, located on
the customer tray, powered and earthed via the terminal block located accessory mounting rail on the side-
mounted customer tray.

If an IOEX3 module is purchased separately, refer to installation instructions available with the separate
module. For more information on IOEX dimensions, referDimensions
If one IOEX3 is fitted in the factory, it is connected to IOEX/WSOS RS-232 Port, with the baud rate of
19,200 to match that of the IOEX3. If a second IOEX3 is fitted, it can be connected to either to the MODEM
RS-232 Port or to any of the three USB ports, using a suitable USB to RS-232 converter. If it is necessary
to modify the baud rate of an RS-232 port with an IOEX3 connected, for example, IOEX/WSOS Port; do
the following:

(the most recent event) contains the Work Tag Applied event.
5. Return to WORK TAG STATUS and change the setting back to OFF

Terminal Designation and Phase Rotation

The power system phase assigned to each set of bushings on the recloser must be correctly configured at
the time of installation of the ACR. This process is called “setting the phasing”. Setting the phasing affects
all the displays, events, and so on, that are concerned with switchgear terminals, for example: voltage
measurements, live/dead terminal displays and maximum current events.
Normal/default Phasing is A, B and C for bushings I/X, II/XX and III/XXX respectively. Normal/ default
phase rotation is ABC.
If the Phasing at the recloser and/or phase rotation of the network are different from the defaults, you must
set the Phasing and/or the Phase rotation.
On the setVUE O.I., Phasing is set from the following:

N00-808 08/2019 37
 SYSTEM STATUS → TERMINAL DESIGNATION/ROTATION → S
1. Press the SELECT key to select the A Phase field.

2. Press to modify the setting. This will cycle A, B & C Phase through the six possible phase/bushing
combinations.

NOTE: Images shown are for illustration purposes only

3. Press the ENTER key, when you have the required combination. The controller then orientates the
currents and voltages to match the selection.
4. In the Phasing field, select the phase rotation - either ABC or ACB.
NOTE: For more details, refer the Event log (see page 67), check that the bottom line of the display (the
most recent event) contains the Work Tag Applied event.
5. After the phasing has been set, record the details on the label on the rear of the control cubicle door
(above the operator panel) to indicate the non-standard relationship between the bushings and phases.
NOTE: A-B-C remains steady and the associated I-II-III designation rotates through the six possible
combinations as shown in the following order, when down arrow is used.
1. A-B-C=I-II-III
2. A-B-C=III-II-I
3. A-B-C=II-III-I
4. A-B-C=III-I-II
5. A-B-C=II-I-III
6. A-B-C=I-III-II
For information on how to identify the individual bushings, refer Terminology (see page 13) .

CAUTION
RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Incorrect terminal designation may cause incorrect operation, false trips, or even damage to the switch
gear or controller.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

3. After the phasing has been set, you should record the details on the label on the rear of the control
cubicle door (above the operator panel) to indicate the non-standard relationship between the bushings
and phases.

Power Flow Direction Setting

The recloser is a symmetrical device meaning that, either side (I or X) can be connected to the supply. So,
after installation, the controller must be configured to designate, which is the source side.
The power flow direction may be either Source I, Load X or Source X, Load I and is configured on page:

SYSTEM STATUS → PHASE VOLTAGE and POWER FLOW

ENGINEER MENU → CONFIGURATION MENU → SYSTEM SETTINGS → METERING

PARAMETERS → Source I, Load X
Changing this setting, reverses the power flow direction but does not affect the phasing.
Power flow direction setting is used to determine:
 which power flow direction is positive for instantaneous metering purposes, when power is a signed
value.
 whether power flow is forward or reverse for calculation of historical records
 whether the source or load corresponds to (I) or (X) on the voltage measurement displays.
 which power flow direction is considered positive by Automatic Protection Group Selection (APGS).
 which is the source or load for Live Load Blocking.
 which power flow direction is considered forward by Directional Blocking/Protection.

Tripping and Closing

If system conditions allow, tripping or closing can be carried out.
 Trip and close the recloser from the ADVC. For more information on the trip and close controls, refer
Operator Control Panel (see page 53).
 Trip and close cause the TRIP or CLOSE LED to illuminate, which indicates the on/off status
respectively on the bottom of the recloser.

Enable/Disable Switches
For each of the TRIP and CLOSE keys in turn, test ENABLE and DISABLE by:
 Disable either mechanism (e.g.CLOSE) using Disabled Switches located underneath the O.I.
 Go to the EVENT LOG and check that the bottom line of the display (the most recent event) contains
the Close Coil Disconnect event. (For the same test of the TRIP mechanism the Event Log should
display Trip Coil Disconnect.)
 With both mechanisms disabled, check that pressing each of the CLOSE and TRIP keys are ineffective.
 Enable both TRIP and CLOSE mechanisms.

NOTE: For more details, refer Event Log (see page 67), check that the bottom line of the display (the most
recent event).

Mechanical Trip

Step Action
1 Use a hook stick to manually trip the recloser via the manual trip lever.
2 For more details, refer Event Log (see page 67), check that the bottom line of the display (the most recent event) contains
the Mechanical Trip event.
3 With the manual trip lever still in the lock position, attempt to close the switchgear from the CLOSE key on the control panel.
The switchgear should not close and the event log should display:
 Panel Close Request
 Mechanical Interlocked
 Operation Denied

4 Use the hook stick to return the manual trip lever to its normal position and check that the switchgear can be closed from
the operator panel.

N00-808 08/2019 39
Secondary Injection Testing
If secondary injection testing is required to test protection settings but operation of the recloser is not
possible, secondary injection can be performed with a suitable current injection set and the Test and
Training Set (TTS) in standalone mode connected to the ADVC, with the recloser disconnected.
If tripping and closing of the recloser is possible and preferred, perform secondary injection testing with the
TTS in parallel mode.
NOTE: Any secondary injection must use a frequency, which corresponds to the frequency set in the
controller

Primary Injection Testing

If the recloser can be isolated from the network, primary injection testing can be performed if required.

Power Flow Direction Setting

Introduction
The recloser is a symmetrical device meaning that, either side (I or X) can be connected to the supply. So,
after installation, the controller must be configured to designate, which is the source side.
The power flow direction may be either Source I, Load X or Source X, Load I and is configured on page:

SYSTEM STATUS → PHASE VOLTAGE and POWER FLOW

ENGINEER MENU → CONFIGURATION MENU → SYSTEM SETTINGS → METERING

PARAMETERS → Source I, Load X
Changing this setting, reverses the power flow direction but does not affect the phasing.
Power flow direction setting is used to determine:
 which power flow direction is positive for instantaneous metering purposes, when power is a signed
value.
 whether power flow is forward or reverse for calculation of historical records
 whether the source or load corresponds to (I) or (X) on the voltage measurement displays.
 which power flow direction is considered positive by Automatic Protection Group Selection (APGS).
 which is the source or load for Live Load Blocking.
 which power flow direction is considered forward by Directional Blocking/Protection.

Tripping and Closing

If system conditions allow, tripping or closing can be carried out.
 Trip and close the recloser from the ADVC. For more information on the trip and close controls, refer
Operator Control Panel (see page 53).
 Trip and close cause the TRIP or CLOSE LED to illuminate, which indicates the on/off status
respectively on the bottom of the recloser.

Enable/Disable Switches
For each of the TRIP and CLOSE keys in turn, test ENABLE and DISABLE by:
 Disable either mechanism (e.g.CLOSE) using Disabled Switches located underneath the O.I.
 Go to the EVENT LOG and check that the bottom line of the display (the most recent event) contains
the Close Coil Disconnect event. (For the same test of the TRIP mechanism the Event Log should
display Trip Coil Disconnect.)
 With both mechanisms disabled, check that pressing each of the CLOSE and TRIP keys are ineffective.
 Enable both TRIP and CLOSE mechanisms.

NOTE: For more details, refer Event Log (see page 67), check that the bottom line of the display (the most
recent event).

Mechanical Trip

Step Action
1 Use a hook stick to manually trip the recloser via the manual trip lever.
2 For more details, refer Event Log (see page 67), check that the bottom line of the display (the most recent event) contains the
Mechanical Trip event.
3 With the manual trip lever still in the lock position, attempt to close the switchgear from the CLOSE key on the control panel. The
switchgear should not close and the event log should display:
 Panel Close Request
 Mechanical Interlocked
 Operation Denied

4 Use the hook stick to return the manual trip lever to its normal position and check that the switchgear can be closed from the
operator panel.

Secondary Injection Testing

If secondary injection testing is required to test protection settings but operation of the recloser is not
possible, secondary injection can be performed with a suitable current injection set and the Test and
Training Set (TTS) in standalone mode connected to the ADVC, with the recloser disconnected.

N00-808 08/2019 43
 If tripping and closing of the recloser is possible and preferred, perform secondary injection testing with the
TTS in parallel mode.
NOTE: Any secondary injection must use a frequency, which corresponds to the frequency set in the
controller

Primary Injection Testing

If the recloser can be isolated from the network, primary injection testing can be performed if required.

44 N00-808 08/2019
Power Flow Direction Testing

Introduction
NOTE: Power flow direction test is valid only, if there closer is being supplied from a single source and can
be energized before closing.
This test is to ensure that the source and load designations are correct.
Since either side of the recloser can be connected to the power source, the controller must be configured
to designate which is the source side.
For more information about the configuration of Power Flow, refer Power Flow Direction Setting
(see page 43).
If the I-side bushings are connected to the source, the Source/Load setting should be Source I, Load X.
1. Display the page as shown and check the Source/Load configuration.

NOTE: Images shown are for illustration purposes only.

The correct power flow setting can be confirmed by energizing the recloser, while it is open.
2. With the recloser energized but still open, check the source side voltages at:

System Measurement → SOURCE SIDE VOLTAGES → M

ENGINEER MENU → MEASUREMENTS MENU → VOLTAGE → PHASE/LINE SRC → LD

3. Check the source side voltages, for example whether it is phase to ground or phase to phase.

NOTE: Images shown are for illustration purposes only.

4. Check the LIVE / DEAD INDICATION of the recloser by going to:

System Status → LIVE/DEAD INDICATION → S

The bushings indications are available on one screen on the setVUE O.I. for example:

NOTE: Images shown are for illustration purposes only.

OPERATOR MENU → MEASUREMENTS → PHASE INDICATION

On the flexVUE panel, use the / keys to scroll through the individual displays for the six indicators,
for example:

N00-808 08/2019 45
 NOTE: Images shown are for illustration purposes only.

5. If steps 3 and 4 indicate an incorrect power low setting, return to step 1, modify the setting and repeat
steps 2 to 4.

On Load Checks
Once the recloser is closed and taking load, the following on-load checks can be carried out. To confirm
correct operation, check the current against a known reading.
1. Check system currents on:

System Measurement → CURRENT

NOTE: Images shown are for illustration purposes only.

NOTE: Scroll through separate pages for each current type.

OPERATOR MENU → MEASUREMENTS → CURRENTS

2. Then check other measurements at:

System Measurements
NOTE: Images shown are for illustration purposes only.

NOTE: Scroll through separate pages for each measurement.

OPERATOR MENU → MEASUREMENTS → SYSTEM MEASUREMENTS

Use these pages to confirm that the system measurements and power flow signs are as per the
expectation.
3. Check the source and load side voltages at:

System Measurement → SOURCE VOLTAGE LOAD

NOTE: Images shown are for illustration purposes only.

NOTE: Scroll through separate pages for each voltage measurement.

ENGINEER MENU → MEASUREMENTS → VOLTAGE → PHASE/LINE SRC → LD

NOTE: Images shown are for illustration purposes only.

This information displays system voltage as phase-ground or phase-phase values as configured on the
System Status, Phase Voltage & Power Flow pages.

46 N00-808 08/2019

Control Electronics Operation

Control Electronics Operation

Introduction

Overview
The ADVC is designed for outdoor pole mounted operation. Both the ULTRA and COMPACT cubicles are
vented and insulated to minimize internal temperature variation and maximize battery life. For more
information about cubicle dimensions, refer Appendix B ADVC COMPACT Dimensions and ADVC ULTRA
Dimensions (see page 125).

Sealing and Condensation

All cubicle vents are screened against vermin entry and the cubicle door is sealed with replaceable foam
tape.
Complete sealing against water entry under all conditions is not expected, for example, during operation
in the rain. Instead, the design is such that, if any water enters, it drains out of the bottom without affecting
the electrical or electronic parts. A rain shield on the PSU protects MCBs, if the door is open during driving
rain. The extensive use of stainless steel and other corrosion proof materials helps to ensure that the
presence of moisture has no detrimental effects.
Condensation can be expected to form under some atmospheric conditions such as, tropical storms.
However, condensation is on metal surfaces, where it is of no consequence. The water runs out in the
same way as any other water entering the cubicle. Condensation runs out of the bottom or be dried by
ventilation and self-heating.
All electronic modules are fully sealed to IP65 and are self-heating.

Auxiliary Power Source

The auxiliary supply is used to maintain charge on the sealed lead-acid batteries that provide stand-by
power, when auxiliary power is lost. The controller monitors the status of both the auxiliary and battery
supplies.
A low-power mode is activated when the batteries are nearly exhausted. This typically occurs due to loss
of the auxiliary supply. Low-power mode minimizes power consumption, while still maintaining critical
functionality.

Controller
The controller consists of three submodules.
 Power Supply Unit (PSU)
 Control and protection enclosure (CAPE) with Operating Interface (O.I.)
 Customer Compartment
For more information, refer to ADVC Block Diagram (see page 52).
PSU Module
The PSU module supplies power to the CAPE, and controls the supply from external auxiliary sources.
The power supply module encloses all 115/230 Vac mains connections. Internally, it provides terminals for
the auxiliary power supply connection. Cable-tie points are provided to secure the auxiliary supply cables.
Circuit breakers are used to protect and switch the battery and auxiliary power supplies on/off. A durable
cover is used to enclose all the terminations.
NOTE: The 115/230 Vac mains connection can handle a -20 % to +10 % variance from the auxiliary
supply.
CAPE Module
The main module of control electronics is the Control and Protection Enclosure (CAPE). The CAPE
digitizes the current transformer (CT) signals and capacitive voltage transformer (CVT) signals from the
recloser. These are used to provide various data for the operator.
The CAPE module contains the PCOM board, PSSM board, trip/close capacitors, and O.I. assembled into
a housing that provides protection from the environment, sealing, and EMC shielding.

N00-808 08/2019 49
 The CAPE performs the following functions:
 Operator Interface (O.I.)
 Operating the external communications interface to allow monitoring and control from a remote
computer or operator over a communications link.
 Switchgear Monitoring and Control
 Communicating with WSOS5 over an RS-232, USB or Ethernet link. The IOEX/WSOS port is by default
configured for WSOS connection. USB type B (WSOS) and Ethernet ports are permanently configured
for WSOS.
 Supply power to all electronic circuits and the customer compartment.

Protection and Communications Submodule (PCOM)

The PCOM submodule contains a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), which samples the current and voltage
signals from the switchgear and processes them to derive the basic power system information such as
current, voltage, frequency, real power, reactive power, and so on. This is then used by the General
Purpose Processor (GPP) to provide protection and communications functions for example, over-current
protection. It also presents this data to the outside world via various communications protocols.

Power Supply and Switchgear Module (PSSM)

The PSSM fulfills power supply and switchgear functionality.
The power supply function controls and filters the supply from external auxiliary supplies. Power is supplied
to all the electronic submodules in the ADVC Controller and customer compartment. It also manages the
battery power level and performs battery testing.
The switchgear interface function provides controlled pulses of current to trip and close the switchgear.

Operator Interface
The O.I. is mounted on the CAPE and is accessed by opening the cubicle door. Operators can view
switchgear and system data as well as control and configure the system via the O.I. The O.I. has its own
electronic processing and driver circuit, and operator control panel with LCD, membrane keyboard, and
status LEDs.

WSOS5 Interface
To use WSOS5 to upload or download data, connect between either:
 a serial port on the WSOS PC and the IOEX/WSOS RS-232 Port. Use an RS-232, DB9 female to DB9
female, crossover cable (also known as Null Modem).
 USB on the WSOS PC and the USB port on the controller. Use a standard USB Type A to Type B cable.
 100Base-T Ethernet ports. Either a standard Ethernet cable or a cross-over cable can be used.

Customer Compartments
The COMPACT cubicle compartment is fitted with an accessory tray that facilitates the mounting of your
equipment, for example, a radio or modem.
The ULTRA cubicle has one standard, and one optional accessory tray to allow for more equipment. The
standard tray has a terminal block for the radio power supply and power for accessories such as an IOEX3.

50 N00-808 08/2019
Ancillary Equipment
The ADVC Controller is fitted with a standard customer compartment tray that facilitates the mounting of
ancillary equipment, for example, a radio or modem including any special interfaces. The compartment has
a terminal block for the radio supply and power for accessories such as, an IOEX3.

Introduction

Overview
The ADVC can be remotely controlled via modems or other communications devices. It can be controlled
locally using a laptop computer connected directly via serial, USB, or Ethernet port to the ADVC as well as
by the Operator Interface (O.I.). The O.I. offers full functionality to modify settings, trip, and close the
recloser or display current values and past events related to the operation of the ACR.
The O.I. is mounted on the CAPE inside the ADVC Controller cubicle and accessed by opening the cubicle
door. The O.I. consists of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and key pad with light emitting diodes (LEDs).
Together, these hardware features provide a user interface to monitor and control the ACR/LBS.
The two styles of operator interface currently available are known as setVUE and flexVUE. Each style
caters for particular customer requirements and are described below.

setVUE
A traditional O.I. that features a large 4 × 40 character display and uncluttered panel layout including four
user configurable quick keys.

flexVUE
The flexVUE provides the user with 20 LED indicator lights and 12 quick action keys also with LED's that
are configurable by the user through WSOS 5. This style provides the user with instant feedback about the
switchgear, and reduces the need to navigate through layers of menu structure.

Both the setVUE and flexVUE O.I.'s, and their operation are described in detail on the following pages.
If the door proximity switch is installed, the O.I. turns on automatically when the door is opened and off
when it is closed. The O.I. also turns off automatically, if no keys are pressed for 10 minutes. Pressing the
PANEL ON key reactivates the panel.
This manual contains examples of display interface screens. In general, the language chosen for these
examples is International English. In some cases, screen text differs if the configured language is English
(USA).

operates normally when the switch is in the Enable position.

Default Configuration
The status lamps and the quick action keys are programmed in the factory to a default configuration. This
can be changed to suit the needs of the user through Windows Switchgear Operating System (WSOS5).

60 N00-808 08/2019
Status Lamps
These lamps are used to indicate the controller and switchgear status. The default configuration is shown
below. Each lamp indicates that the state of the function described next to it. When a state is active, the
lamp is lit.
For example:
When, the recloser is in Lockout the lamp next to "Lockout" is on. Conversely, if the lamp is off, the recloser
is not in a lockout state.

It is possible that more than one lamp is lit at a given time.

For example:
When, a recloser tripped to lockout due to an overcurrent fault on Phase A, both "Lockout" and "A-Phase
O/C" lamps are lit.

Display Groups
The flexVUE O.I. displays are organized into three logical groups. Within each group is a menu of pages
and those pages have various sub-menus.

Navigating the Menu Structure

Refer to the diagram inside the controller door or to the Installation and Maintenance Manual for details of
Navigation within groups.
Display Screen Layout
The display area consists of two lines, each 20 character long as shown below.

The top line of the display is the page title. The top line of the display shows the current menu position and
the second line lists the options available one option at a time. An operator uses the UP and DOWN arrows
to scroll through the list of options. The RIGHT arrow will progress to the next level of the option shown on
the second line of the display. Use the LEFT arrow to go back one level. When an operator is editing a
setting, the top line of the display shows a few basic instructions and the bottom line shows the setting
value.

The default factory password is AAAA but you can change it using Windows Switchgear Operator System
(WSOS5) software. The factory password does not need to be remembered - the controller prompts you
for it automatically.

Alerts Menu
TheflexVUE panel provides the user with a specific location to deal with alerts from the controller. The
ALERTS MENU is found as part of the MAIN MENU on the operator interface. You can view these alerts
in the same way you would view any other menu options. Alerts are split into two categories, critical and
normal.
Normal Alerts
All normal alerts go into the ALERTS MENU. The activation of a normal alert causes the title line of the
current display to show:
xx Alerts Active
This alternates with the current display title at a sufficient rate that the current display is easily readable so
that panel usage and field editing can easily continue. XX is the number of alerts that are present at the
time.
The displayed number of normal alerts may change from one flash to the next if a new alert is added or an
old one is removed.

64 N00-808 08/2019
 The title of the alert menu contains the number of alerts that are present. This is shown as:
ALERT MENU X/Y
Where ‘X’ is the alert currently displayed and ‘Y’ is the total number of alerts present.
A normal alert message will generally be longer than 20 characters and will automatically scroll to allow
viewing of the complete message. If, a normal alert is present a beep occurs at a fixed time interval.
All buttons function normally while a normal alert is present.
Critical Alerts
A critical alert will completely subvert the operation of the LCD display regardless of what is being
displayed. There is no way to remove the critical alert from the display while it is active.
If a critical alert is present, a beep occurs at a fixed time interval.

All buttons except for the navigation buttons ( , , , MENU, SELECT, LAMP DATA, EVENT LOG)
operates normally while a critical alert is present.
Activating Protection Settings
When settings are changed in the Active protection group (via the flexVUE O.I.), those new settings are
saved but will not be put into service until they are made ACTIVE
When changing Active Protection Group settings, once the first setting is changed the following screen
appears: (scrolling)
NOTE: Images shown are for illustration purposes only.

This message is displayed if:

 Settings are changed within the ACTIVE PROTECTION GROUP
 The current setting is the first one to be changed.
 Before changing this setting; all the current settings were ACTIVE in service

Once this message is displayed, there are three options:

 NO ACTION: The new setting will automatically go in service if the operator ignores the above message
and turns off the operator interface, or the interface turns off automatically.
 PRESS SELECT: If the operator presses the SELECT key, the new setting is put into service
immediately. The operator can continue to browse the menu. With all the current settings in active
service, if the operator makes another setting change the above message is prompted when the first of
the new settings are saved.
 PRESS THE ARROW: This allows the operator to browse other settings and allow them to be changed.

Exiting the Protection Menu

The operator will not be prompted to ACTIVATE the settings again until they try to exit the PROTECTION
MENU, when the following screen appears:
NOTE: Images shown are for illustration purposes only.

The operator has to press the UP or DOWN ARROW key. That displays the following:

Setting Change Events

A settings change can come from various sources - WSOS5, Operator Interface, SCADA protocol, and
IOEX. The controller includes in its log, information regarding the source of each setting change.

If the ALT key ( ) or EVENT LOG key ( ) is pressed whilst the event log is on the display then
the date and time details are replaced with extra information that includes the setting source and, if

applicable, the protection group, curve, and trip number. Pressing the ALT ( ) or EVENT LOG

 As it is possible for multiple WSOS5 applications to be simultaneously connected to the controller via
Ethernet, a source identification of ‘WSOS’ can be insufficient information. For WSOS5 over Ethernet
connections the first four letters of the PC login name are logged. The usage of ‘WSOS’ is therefore
restricted to serial port point-to-point communication links only.

For example, a setVUE event log display that looks like this:

 The O.I. has been used to set the controller's RS-232 port communications parity to EVEN.
 The work tag has been applied via a SCADA protocol communications link.
 The controller has detected restoration of load supply. There is no setting change source associated
with this event.

ACR Maintenance

Introduction
Maintenance can be carried out using standard electrician and mechanic tools.
No user maintenance of the ACR mechanism is required.
The ACR should be returned to the manufacturer for refurbishment, if the mechanical duty or breaking duty
is exceeded. This is checked by examining the number of operations on the operator control panel as well
as by checking mechanical operation counters mounted at the bottom of switch gear, the ACR has reached
the end of its life and must be replaced. The pointer movement must be checked, so that it is free from
mechanical obstructions.

NOTICE
RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
A alert message is displayed in the event log, when the remaining contact life reaches 20 %.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

In areas of high atmospheric pollution more frequent cleaning may be appropriate.

Check the gas low alarm is not shown on the operator interface, at suitable intervals. If gas low alarm is
shown, then this may indicate a leak. Recharge the ACR SF6 using a gas fill adapter, which is described
below.

ACR SF6 Recharging

The ACR is refilled to a pressure of 35 kPa on the gauge corrected by +0.46 kPa for every degree Celsius
above 20 °C and -0.46 kPa for every degree below 20 °C. For, altitudes above 1000 m the gauge pressure
should be corrected for altitude.

CAUTION
EXPLOSIVE POTENTIAL
Do not attempt to recharge the gas without first removing the ACR from service.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

Safety
Removal from Service
The gas fill valve is located between the ACR body and the mounting bracket. Ensure that the ACR is
removed from service before fitting the gauge and taking a reading.

Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6) Safety Data Sheet

See Safety Data Sheet - Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6) (see page 129) for reproduction of original Material
Safety Data Sheet.
Equipment Required
ACR SF6 recharging is carried out using a Gas Fill Adaptor (GFA) and tool, and a standard size-D SF6
cylinder. For more information about these part numbers, refer Replaceable Parts and Tools
(see page 117).

Procedure
Preparation

CAUTION
EXPLOSIVE POTENTIAL
This procedure should be performed under controlled conditions using appropriate SF6 reclamation
equipment.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

98 N00-808 08/2019
 The gas filling procedure may be conducted on an ACR either in the field or within a workshop. If to be
conducted in the field, ensure that the ACR is removed from service until the procedure is complete.
Record the ambient temperature as this is required when calculating the fill pressure.

Connecting the Gas Cylinder to the Gas Fill Valve

1. Remove the protective plastic transportation cap from the cylinder valve.

2. Fit the Gas Fill Adaptor to the cylinder and tighten using the correct spanner:
3. Open both the shut-off and gas cylinder valves.
4. Adjust the regulator valve until gas flows through and purges the line.
5. Immediately close the shut-off valve.
6. Ensure that the adaptor is free of dirt or contaminants before inserting into the valve.
7. Insert the gas line adaptor into the gas fill valve. For more information, refer Gas Line Adaptor
(see page 99).
8. Retract the locking pin on the gas fill tool and slide it over the gas fill boss on the tank. Allow the locking
pin to spring into the groove. Gently check that the tool cannot be pulled off.
9. Push the handle into the plug and rotate anticlockwise until the bayonets drop into the slots. Continue
to rotate until it becomes difficult to turn. Do not force the handle further.

Filling with Gas

1. Calculate the gas pressure required for the local conditions:

The default gas pressure is 35 kPa.

The final pressure is dependent upon the ambient temperature at the site.
 For temperatures above 20 °C, add 0.46 kPa for each degree in temperature.
 For temperatures below 20 °C, deduct 0.46 kPa for each degree in temperature.

2. Open the shut-off valve to commence the flow of gas into the recloser tank.
3. Slowly turn the regulator clockwise to increase the flow of gas into the tank. As the tank starts to fill with
gas, the pressure gauge displays the increasing pressure:

N00-808 08/2019 99
  Care must be taken not to over-pressurize the tank. A relief valve is fitted to the gas fill adaptor. If the
tank pressure exceeds 60 kPa, the valve opens and vents to atmosphere.
 Pressure in excess of that required and 60 kPa must be removed using a reclamation unit or similar
means.
The tank pressure may be checked at any time by closing the shut-off valve:
 Allow the gas pressure gauge to stabilize before taking a reading.
 Open the shut-off valve to recommence the gas flow in to the tank.

Confirming the Gas Pressure

1. If the ADVC is connected to the ACR, the O.I. display may be used to confirm the gas pressure within
the tank against the reading at the Tank Pressure gauge:
 Close the shut-off valve and allow the gauge to stabilize.
 Note the gas pressure gauge reading.

2. To confirm that the readings shown on the gas cylinder pressure gauge and ADVC
Controller/Switchgear, check the pressure at:

SYSTEM STATUS → Switchgear Status → S

For example,

OPERATOR MENU → SWTICHGEAR STATUS → SWTICHGEAR DATA → SF6 Pressure

For example,

Disconnecting the Gas Fill Adaptor

WARNING
EXPLOSIVE POTENTIAL
Reduce pressure on the regulator before disconnecting the gas line.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

1. Close the shut-off valve.

2. Fully close the gas cylinder valve.
3. Turn the regulator anti-clockwise to reduce the internal pressure on the regulator.
4. Disconnect the gas fill adaptor from the gas fill valve.
5. Firmly tighten the gas fill plug by rotating the handle of the gas fill tool clockwise. Torque the handle to
16 Nm using a torque wrench with a 10 mm socket.
6. Retract the locking pin and slide the tool from the switch.
7. Open the shut-off valve to purge the gas line.
8. Remove the gas fill adaptor from the gas cylinder.
9. Refit the protective plastic cap on the adaptor to protect the thread during further transportation.
10.Store the adaptor and cylinder.

Introduction

ADVC Maintenance
Maintenance of the ADVC is required for every five years. The manufacturer recommends the work
described below.

CAUTION
RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Be careful to ensure that if working on the ADVC with the door open in heavy rain, water does not enter
the circuit breakers or general power outlet.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

Cleaning
Check for excessive dirt on the cubicle, particularly the roof, and clean off. Ensure that the mesh covering
the air vents and the water drainage holes in the base are clean.

Battery Replacement

DANGER
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE
 These batteries are capable of supplying very high currents. Always turn off the battery circuit breaker
before connecting or disconnecting the batteries in the cubicle.
 Never leave flying leads connected to the battery.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

NOTE: Ensure that battery polarity is correct.

Battery replacement is recommended after a period of five years. For more information, refer Battery Care
(see page 102).
The procedure is:
1. Turn off the battery circuit breaker.
2. Unplug batteries and replace with new batteries.
3. Turn on the battery circuit breaker and check that the BATTERY NORMAL status is restored via:
System Status → Switchgear Status → S
For example,

or

Operator Menu → Switchgear Status → Switchgear Data → Battery Status

For example,

With Battery Heater Accessory

NOTE: Ensure that battery polarity is correct. Battery heater failure is reported in the Event Log.
Where the battery heater accessory has been fitted the following procedure should be followed:
1. Turn off the battery circuit breaker.
2. Disconnect batteries and heater.
3. Open velcro straps and open heater mat. There is no need to remove mat.
4. Remove batteries and replace with new batteries.
5. Return the heater mat to it’s original position, close straps.

N00-808 08/2019 101

 6. Reconnect batteries and heater.
7. Turn on the battery circuit breaker andcheck that the "Battery Normal status", is restored. For more
information, refer step 3 of Battery Replacement (see page 101).
Door Seal
Check the door sealing rubber for perishing or undue hardening. If necessary, renew the seal.

Battery Care
The battery is predicted to provide good performance for the recommended five-year service period. This
is based on the battery manufacturer data. No battery warranty is given by the manufacturer of the ADVC.
Once in service, batteries need little care. Procedures for storage and other contingencies are as follows:
 Batteries should be stored at a temperature of between 0 °C to 30 °C (32...86 °F) and cycled every six
months. Batteries should be stored for a maximum of one year.
 Batteries should be cycled before putting into service if they have not been cycled within three months.
When shipped by the manufacturer the batteries have been cycled within the previous 30 days.
 If the batteries become exhausted in service and are left for more than two weeks without auxiliary
supply being restored to the ADVC they should be taken out, cycled and have their capacity checked
before being returned to service.
To cycle a battery, discharge with a 10 Ohm 15 Watt resistor to a terminal voltage of 10 V. Next, recharge
it with a voltage regulated DC supply set to 13.8 V. A 3 A current limited supply is appropriate.
More information on the battery care is available from the battery manufacturer.

Abnormal Operating Conditions

Introduction
The operation of the capacitor charging inverter can be affected under abnormal conditions, such as when
the battery capacity is low. The following features are used to protect the ADVC in this situation while still
allowing the ACR to keep operating.
Low-Power Mode
When the batteries are nearly exhausted, the ADVC will modify its capacitor charging mode from normal
to low power. In low-power mode the controller takes longer to charge the capacitors and the radio supply
is shut down. A Low-Power Mode event is logged, whenever this happens.
Operator close and trip operations can be performed, but at a longer time interval than normal. If an
operator trip or close request is denied, a Cap Chrg event is logged.
To return to normal power mode, the auxiliary supply must have been switched back on for a minimum of
15 minutes, and the batteries may have to be replaced.
Excess Close Operations
During testing, it is possible to carry out so many trip/close operations that the capacitor charging inverter
shuts itself down before it overheats. It takes more than 20 operations within a minute to do this and is not
going to happen, while in service (it happens only during excessive testing).
When this happens the inverter shuts down for 5 minutes and a Cap Excess Closes event is logged. During
this time, all trip/close requests are denied.

Defect Finding
ADVC Controller Check
Defect detection within the ADVC involves determining whether the detected fault lies in the electronic
modules, the wiring or elsewhere. The electronic modules are user replaceable items. Other detects
require the ADVC to be returned to the factory.
A suggested defect finding approach is as follows:
1. If the System OK LEDs, located on the operator interface (O.I.), are flashing, then the CAPE micropro-
cessor is running. If the O.I. does not operate, then follow Step 4.
System OK LEDs are located in different places on the setVUE and flexVUE panels:

NOTE: Default location can be configured differently.

2. If the display is operating, check the

System Status → Switchgear Status → S

Operator Menu → Switchgear Status → Switchgear Data → Battery Status

and

Operator → Switchgear Status → Switchgear Data → Aux Supply Status

Page for an indication of any power supply problems (Aux Supply Fail and/or Battery off), which can be
traced and rectified.
3. If the System OK LED is not flashing, check for loss of power. Check that the battery circuit breaker is
on and that full battery voltage is present at the terminals. Check the presence of aux. supply on the
aux. supply circuit breaker. Check that the supply between the PSU and CAPE has not been
disconnected. Rectify if a problem is discovered.
4. If power supply is present, then attempt to go on-line with WSOS to determine whether the CAPE is
functioning correctly. Replace the CAPE if required.
5. If this does not rectify the problem, then the ADVC Controller should be returned for factory repair.

N00-808 08/2019 103

Replacement of Electronic Modules and Upgrades
Electronic modules are user replaceable. Care should be taken to avoid damage to the modules while they
are outside the cubicle and replacement should only be carried out by competent personnel.
PSU and CAPE firmware can be upgraded through WSOS. For more information, refer to the ADVC
Controller Operational Manual (N00-812).
