If damage ormissing parts are discovered, file a claim immediatelywith the and StorageBe careful during handling and storage of the Type VXER ecloser Control Tester to minimize the possibility of dam-age. If the tester is to be stored for any length of time priorto use, provide a clean, dry storage StandardsThe Quality System at the Cooper Power Systems KyleDistribution Switchgear plant is certified to the followingstandards:ISO 9001, 1994 CAN/CSA ISO 9001, 1994BS EN ISO 9001, 1994 ANSI/ASQC Q9001, 1994 DescriptionThe Kyle Type VXE Electronic Recloser control tester(Figure 1) is designed specifically for testing the Kyle TypeVXE electronically controlled vacuum single-phase reclos-er. The tester has the capability to check the complete thefollowing tests: Recloser Tests Control Tests Battery Test Minimum-Trip Test Control Operation Test Time-Current Curve Characteristics Test Minimum Response Time Time-Current Curve Characteristics Modifier Reclosing Time Test Reset Time Test Cold Load Time Test VXE SCADA TestsThe unit is self-contained and packaged in a carryingcase with detachable cover.

7 Control tester, cable, case,power cable, cable interface, SCADA cable, and exten-der cable are supplied with the tester and stored in thecarrying tester can check the operation of the electronicrecloser control and the electrical operation of the reclos-er with the exception of high voltage closing. However,the control cannot operate the Recloser through Recloser -simulator circuit is built into the tester to simu-late Recloser operation (indicated by red and green LEDindicators on the tester panel labeled Recloser SIMU-LATOR) and to simulate the response time of the reclos-er mechanism to trip and close signals. The RECLOSERSIMULATOR provides a time delay to duplicate the inter-rupting time of a Type VXE Recloser in response to a tripsignal from the control when Recloser clearing time testsare being !SAFETYFOR LIFEPRODUCT INFORMATIONI nput120 Vac, 50/60Hz, single phase (fused for two amp) with10-ft power cord and a three wire grounding , 50/60Hz, single phase (fused for one amp) with10-ft power cord with no plug attached is available as 2000mA continuously adjustable from front panel ScaleAn LED scale meter shows the voltage level supplied tothe control ranging from volts, in increments , and also displays battery MeterAn LCD display for monitoring fault current is providedwhich has a 3% ( 5% at 5 amps) tolerance at full switched ranges are: 0 20/200/ Extender CableNote:Jacks on the tester panel provide the means for con-necting an external ammeter into the circuit.
