NOTICE
 Maintain proper polarity when connecting and inserting batteries, to avoid damage to electronic
systems.
 Fitting the batteries with reverse polarity cause damage to the electronic systems.
Surge Arrester Mounting and Terminating

The ACR is type tested for Impulse Withstand Voltages up to 150 kV/170 kV depending on the model. For
more information, refer to Ratings and Specifications (see page 103). 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.
Lightning induced damage to the ACR or ADVC voids the warranty if surge arresters are not fitted.
Mounting brackets are provided for surge arresters on the ACR. The surge arresters must be mounted on
the front and rear brackets provided and earthed as per the earthing instruction.
The user should check that phase/phase and phase/earth clearance is sufficient for their particular surge
arresters and line voltages. For some types of 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. It is good
practice to tape the joint using heat shrink to maintain the cabling system insulation.
CAUTION
RISK OF INJURY AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
If the arresters are not mounted close to the ACR, the protection they provide is reduced.
CAUTION
RISK TO EMIT X-RAYS IF VOLTAGE HIGHER THAN RATED MAXIMUM IS APPLIED ACROSS THE
OPEN CONTACT
Do not apply voltage higher than rated maximum across the open contact without being protected with
appropriate shielding.
N00-807-02 11/2018 25
Earthing (Grounding)
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH
 Do not earth surge arresters by a different path, doing this may cause damage to the control
electronics or ACR.
 Also, any antenna must be bonded to the ACR or the main earth bond.
Figure Common Earthing and LV Supply (see page 31) shows the earthing common to the 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 will also 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.
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. For more information, refer
figure Common Earthing and LV Supply (see page 31). A low voltage surge arrester must also be fitted
from the LV phase connection to this tee-off. This wiring diagram 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 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.
26 N00-807-02 11/2018
LV Auxiliary Power from Dedicated Utility Transformer
Figure Utility Auxiliary Transformer (see page 33) shows wiring and earthing if a dedicated transformer is
supplied by the utility. 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 33) shows that the transformer and any steelworks are 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.

Customer Accessories and Communication Equipment
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.
DANGER
Switch off the ADVC before installing the accessories.
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.
36 N00-807-02 11/2018
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, refer Dimensions (see page 125)
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:

N00-807-02 11/2018 45
Steps Action
4 Turn on the VT supply to cubicle circuit breaker if the auxiliary supply is being provided by an
integrated transformer (single pole MCB above the icon, if fitted).
5 Powering up the ADVC with the recloser connected causes the ADVC to read data from the switch
gear.
This takes up to 60 seconds during which time the message below flash at the top of the display:
READING → Do NOT disconnect Switchgear

The System OK LED on the OCP should also flash at this time to indicate that the ADVC is powered
and functioning.
The flexVUE O.I. will create an ALERT with the same message.
6 If the configuration file containing the settings to be used in operation has not previously been
loaded, it should be loaded now using WSOS. Alternatively the settings could be entered via the
OCP.
NOTE: If you are familiar with navigating operator control interface display groups, proceed with the checks
described below. For more information refer, Operator Control Panel (see page 57) before proceeding.
The ACR will now be ready for operation. Before energizing the recloser, you should perform the following
checks to confirm that the equipment is fully operational and properly configured.
Battery
1. Check Battery status, which is found on the following menu page:
System Status → SWITCHGEAR STATUS → S
NOTE: Images shown are for illustration purposes only
OPERATOR MENU → SWITCHGEAR STATUS → SWITCHGEAR DATA → Battery Status

The battery may be in any of the following four states: Normal, OFF, Low, High.
DANGER
 Check the battery status is low (close to the normal range of lower voltage limit), recharge the
battery providing auxiliary supply is ON.
 Replace the battery if the voltage is very low.
At this point, the battery state should be Normal with a voltage within the range 23 to 29.5 V. Aux Supply
status should be Normal. If not, you cannot perform the remaining battery checks at this stage.
2. Switch off the battery circuit breaker and check whether the battery status changes to off status in 3 - 5
seconds.
3. Refer Event Log (see page 71) for details on how to do this, and check that the bottom line of the display
(the most recent event) displays the battery off event.
4. Again switch the battery ON.
46 N00-807-02 11/2018
Connection Between The ADVC and The Recloser
1. Power up the controller with the control cable plugged in on both the controller side as well as the
switchgear side.
2. If the controller and the switchgear were calibrated at the Schneider Factory, the controller will display
the serial number of the switchgear that it was calibrated.
3. If the switchgear serial number displayed does not match the serial number of the connected switch, or
if this message is not displayed on the panel, then follow the process described in Load Calibration.
(see page 132)
4. Check the Switch status which can be found on the following menu page:
OPERATOR MENU → SWITCHGEAR STATUS → SWITCHGEAR DATA → Switch Status

The switch status may be in either of two states: Connected or Disconnected.
"Connected" is the normal state. If Switch is "Disconnected", check the control cable, paying attention
to the individual pins in the plug at each end. If the status remains "Disconnected", with the cable
plugged in at both ends, the cable itself may be faulty.
5. Check that the Switch Data status is Valid.
In normal operation, Switch status will be "Connected", and Switch Data "Valid".
If the control cable has been unplugged (Switch "Disconnected", Switch Data "Invalid") then re-plugged
(Switch status "Connected"), the Switch Data status will remain "Invalid" for a few seconds, during the
time taken by the controller to reinitialize the switch data.
If Switch Data remains Invalid, do the following checks:
 Examine each end of the control cable, checking for bent or broken pins and rectify if found. Also,
check the connector at the switchgear and the socket at the 'Switchgear' port in the ADVC for
damage.
 If the pins are OK, the cable itself may be faulty and the continuity of each core should be checked.
Refer to the Cable Pin out Diagram. For details on the individual connections on both the switchgear
side as well as the controller side of the control cable.
Auxiliary Supply
1. Check the Auxiliary Supply Status, which is found on the following menu page:
OPERATOR MENU → SWITCHGEAR STATUS → SWITCHGEAR DATA → Aux Supply Status

The auxiliary supply may be in any of the following two states: Normal or Fail. The battery status
should be Normal .
2. If using LV auxiliary supply, switch off the auxiliary supply. Check whether the Aux Supply status
changes to Fail in 3 - 5 seconds.
3. Check, whether the battery voltage has dropped slightly (by approximately 2 V), while remaining in the
Normal state.
4. Go to Event Log (see page 71) for details on how to do this and check that the bottom line of the display
(the most recent event) contains the Aux Supply Off event.
5. Switch on the auxiliary supply again.
N00-807-02 11/2018 47
DANGER
 If the battery voltage is continuously dropping, then the battery state is LOW and the batteries may be
flat.
 If the batteries are flat, they must be replaced.
Work Tag
1. Check that Local Control is ON. This setting is found in the following:
System Status → Operator Settings - 1 → S

(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:
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.
48 N00-807-02 11/2018
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 71), 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

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 57).
 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 71), 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 71), 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.
50 N00-807-02 11/2018
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.

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 127).
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 55).
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 % 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.
N00-807-02 11/2018 51
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.
52 N00-807-02 11/2018
N00-807-02 11/2018 53
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.

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.
The title of the alert menu contains the number of alerts that are present. This is shown as:

Event Log
Event Log
Event Log
Introduction
The ADVC maintains a log of up to 100,000 events that record changes to the status of the switchgear,
control electronics, and ADVC logic. The log also records critical setting changes. The events can be
viewed via the O.I. in the EVENT LOG display group.
The event log display updates automatically as new events occur. The most recent event appears on the
bottom line of the display and older events are scrolled upwards. When the event log is full, the oldest
events are deleted to allow new events to be logged as they occur.
All events are date and time stamped to a 1 ms resolution and displayed in the order that they occurred.
The source of each event is also recorded.
It is possible to apply event category filters when viewing events via the O.I.
WSOS5 software can also be used to upload and display the event log. In addition to O.I.-like time stamp,
source identification and filter category features, it also allows text searches and go to a particular
date/time. The event log can be saved as a text file or as a .csv file. For more information, refer to the
WSOS5 help file.
Reading the Event Log

On the setVUE panel, the event log display group is one of the main display groups.
On the flexVUE panel, the event log is found via a dedicated key on the O,I.
The EVENT LOG is navigated slightly differently depending on which O.I. is installed. For more information
on navigation diagrams, refer the following figures below for setVUE Navigation Diagram and flexVUE

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:
becomes:

When the ALT key is pressed.
In the above example it can be seen that:
 WSOS5 has been used to set a Very Inverse IEC255 curve for phase trip 2, group D.
 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.

Power System Measurements
Introduction
The Current Transformer (CT) signals and voltage screen (CVT) signals from the recloser are digitized by
the ADVC Controller and used to provide various data for the operator.
The ADVC Controller measures up to 10 power system components:
 A, B, C, phase and spill currents,
 Phase to earth voltage on all six terminals.
The ADVC Controller uses the above measurements to derive many system measurements including:
 frequency
 phase to phase voltages
 total and per phase power (kW, kVA,and kVAR)
 total and per phase power factor
 harmonics
 earth current, and
 sequence components
In addition, the ADVC Controller also measures internal values such as:
 CAPE temperature
 auxiliary voltage
 battery voltage.
Power System Frequency

The controller must be set for the correct power system frequency (either 50 Hz or 60 Hz). This can be set
on page:
SYSTEM STATUS → PHASE VOLTAGE and POWER FLOW

Overview
Maintenance can be carried out using standard electricians and mechanics tools.
DANGER
Avoid water entering into the circuit breakers or general power outlet, when working on the ADVC with
the door open during heavy rain.
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.
NOTICE
A alert message is displayed in the event log when the remaining contact life reaches 20 %.
Maintenance of the ADVC is required every five years. The manufacturer recommends the work described
below.
96 N00-807-02 11/2018
Cleaning
Every five years the external bushings as well as tank should be checked and cleaned if necessary. The
external manual trip lever must be checked to ensure that it is free from mechanical obstructions. Make
sure the ON-OFF indicator as well as the operations counter are cleaned and visible from ground. In areas
of high atmospheric pollution more frequent cleaning may be required. 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.
Door Seal
Check the door sealing rubber for perishing or undue hardening. If necessary, renew the seal.
N00-807-02 11/2018 97
Battery Care
DANGER
 These batteries are capable of supplying 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.
The battery is predicted to provide good performance for the recommended five-year service period. This
is based on the battery manufacturer’s 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 Ω, 15 W 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.
Battery Replacement
Battery replacement is recommended after a period of five years. For more information, refer Battery Care.
NOTE: Ensure that battery polarity is correct.
The procedure for the replacement of the batteries is as follows:
 Turn off the battery circuit breaker.
 Unplug batteries and replace with new batteries.
 Turn on the battery circuit breaker and ensure that BATTERY NORMAL status is restored via:
SYSTEM STATUS → Switchgear Status → -S
For example:
or
OPERATOR MENU → SWITCHGEAR STATUS → SWITCHGEAR DATA → Battery Status
For example:
98 N00-807-02 11/2018
Battery Heater Accessory
NOTE: Ensure that battery polarity is correct.
Where the battery heater accessory has been fitted the following procedure should be followed:
 Turn off the battery circuit breaker.
 Disconnect batteries and heater.
 Remove batteries and replace with new batteries.
 Return the heater mat to its original position, close straps.
 Reconnect batteries and heater.
 Turn on the battery circuit breaker and ensure that “Battery Normal status”, is restored. To do this, see
STEP 3 of Battery Replacement (see page 98).
NOTICE
RISK OF UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Battery heater failure is reported in the Event Log.
N00-807-02 11/2018 99
ADVC Operating Conditions
Abnormal Operating Conditions

The operation of the capacitor charging inverter can be affected under abnormal conditions such as when
the battery capacity is very 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 change 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.
When a trip occurs in low power mode, the recloser will go to lockout if the capacitors cannot be recharged
quickly enough. 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 Charg" event will be 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 only happens 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 will be denied.
Defect Finding
ADVC Controller Check
Defect finding within the ADVC involves determining whether the defect lies in the electronic modules, the
wiring or elsewhere. The electronic modules are user replaceable items. Other defects require the ADVC
to be returned to the factory.
A suggested defect finding approach is as follows:
 If the System OK LED(s), located on the on the operator interface (O.I.), are flashing then the CAPE
microprocessor 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 flexVUEpanels:
(or)
NOTE: (Default location - can be configured differently)

 If the display is operating, check the
 SYSTEM STATUS → Switchgear Status → S
 OPERATOR MENU → SWITCHGEAR STATUS → SWITCHGEAR DATA → Battery Status

can be traced and rectified.
 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.
 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.
 If this does not rectify the problem then the ADVC Controller should be returned for factory repair.

Calibration of Switch Gear and Controller
Calibration of Switch Gear and Controller
Calibration of switchgear or controller in the event of detected failure or replacement of switchgear or controller
The ADVC controller and E-series switchgear are integrated together during Level - 3 testing inside the
Schneider Electric Plant. It is recommended to use same controller and same switchgear together for
better performance. The integration means all the information related to calibration data of switchgear
(Static data and dynamic data) is stored inside the controller during Level - 3 testing.
However, there is a possibility of mixing of the controllers at customer site or customer might have to
change the switchgear or controller due to specific issues. in such scenario following process must be
followed.
NOTE: Following options are provided to customer by Schneider Electric to restore the information related
to calibration data of switchgear.
1. Option 1 confirms the assurance of the static data of the switchgear for dynamic data customer need to
retrieve the information from event log or mechanical operation counter located at the bottom of
switchgear.
2. Option 2 provide full information to customer about the static and dynamic calibration data of the
switchgear.
Option 1: Recording of information by QR code.

1. E series range of switchgear is provided with the QR code on the name plate of the switchgear.
2. The similar QR code is also provided on the ID card format inside the controller supplied with the
switchgear. The ID card will have QR code and SR number of switchgear.
NOTE: Do not misplace the card.

3. The QR code needs to be scanned by a smart device such as I Phone or Android phone with a QR code
scanner application to be used for scanning.
4. After scanning the QR code. You will be directed to a website which provides the Landing page.
5. Landing page will provide data related to product information and date of manufacturing details.
6. This website will give access to a safe repository to routine test certificates and calibration file.
7. The calibration file provides the information which consists of type of switchgear, date of manufacture,
bushing calibration and serial number.
8. Dynamic switchgear data consists of number of operations and the resulting wear information of each
phase. This data changes with every operation of the switchgear (manual or automatic). Numbers of
operations are available on the operation counter mounted at the bottom of switchgear.
9. The safe repository contains calibration files of the switchgear linked with Serial number of switchgear.
10.Download the information and save it on your computer or on smart device.
11.Connect your computer to ADVC controller using USB cable.
12.With the help of WSOS upload the information or calibration file in the new controller or erase old file
from old controller to upload new file in case switchgear is replaced.

ACR and ADVC
Option 2: fixing USB key directly on the USB port of ADVC controller (USB key not in scope of Schneider Electric)
A calibration file may be placed on a USB key from one of the following sources;
1. The factory (i.e. supplied with the switchgear/controller). Dynamic data will be default.
2. The Schneider Electric online store (via QR code). Dynamic data will be default.
3. Exported from WSOS5 on a PC. Dynamic data may be default depending on the source of the
calibration file (refer to the following item).
4. Exported from an ADVC Controller. Dynamic data of the ADVC Controller will be the written to the
calibration file on the USB key.
Dynamic switchgear data consists of number of operations and the resulting wear information of each
phase. This data changes with every operation of the switchgear (manual or automatic).
NOTE: Numbers of operations are available on the operation counter mounted at the bottom of switchgear.
Static switchgear data consists of the switchgear type, date of manufacture, bushing calibration, and serial
number.
Having obtained the calibration file on the USB key it may be installed on an ADVC Controller by directly
inserting the USB key in the USB3 port of the ADVC Controller.
The calibration files on the USB key are required to be one per directory. The directory name may be any
valid name however calibration files written by the ADVC Controller have the serial number as the directory
name. The calibration file in the directory must be named maintenance.cal to be recognized.
Navigate via the O.I. to the Calibration page
ENGINEER → MAINTENANCE → CALIBRATION
STATUS MENU → CALIBRATION

The options available are to Load a Calibration or to Save a Calibration.
Load Calibration
Select the Load Calibration option and follow the prompts to select the required directory from which to
load the calibration data. The USB key may hold many calibration files. Once selected the calibration file
directory has been selected the details will be read from the file directory/maintenance.cal on the USB key
and written into the internal store of the ADVC Controller and made active. This process will override any
existing E-Series calibration information on the ADVC Controller. The switchgear serial number is part of
the calibration file and this will be written to the ADVC Controller as part of this process.
Save Calibration
Select the Save Calibration option. After password verification, Save Calibration will cause the calibration
information stored on the ADVC Controller to be written to a file on the USB key. The file will be stored in
the directory named using the stored serial number of the switchgear and given a file name
maintenance.cal (that is, directory/maintenance.cal).
NOTE: The serial number of the switchgear may be altered at any time by the user. If this happens then a
new calibration file (that is, directory/maintenance.cal) will be created on the USB key when saving (either
automatically or manually).
Operational Updates
If a USB key is inserted in USB3 port of the ADVC Controller, and left in place, the dynamic data, when it
changes, will be written to the USB key.
This mechanism provides a means to restore the dynamic calibration data if the ADVC Controller attached
to the switchgear is replaced. Simply remove the USB key and then insert it in the new ADVC Controller
and follow the above Load Calibration procedure.
NOTE: The USB key must be installed by customer on site during the installation.
