OPERATION
The following settings and features are common to all control modes:
Time Delay
– Sets the operation time delay period. Using the Adjust switch, select
the desired time delay, in seconds, from 3 to 600. This will delay both Open and
Close operations in both Manual and Automatic operation mode by the time selected.
The Operation Pending light flashes before every Open or Close operation for the
period of time selected for the time delay. If in AUTOMATIC operation, the LCD
displays the operation type (Close or Open) and time until the operation will occur.
If initiated by a MANUAL OPEN or MANUAL CLOSE command, the pending
operation can be aborted by switching to AUTO.
If initiated by a MANUAL OPEN command, and the Capacitor Bank is Closed, the
pending Open operation can be aborted by operating the MANUAL CLOSE switch.
If initiated by a MANUAL CLOSE command, and the Capacitor Bank is Open, the
pending Close operation can be aborted by operating the MANUAL OPEN switch.
Max Ops/Day
– Sets the maximum allowable number of automatic capacitor
bank close operations per 24 hour period. This can be set from 2 to 24 operations
using the Adjust switch. This setting overrides all other automatic operation
settings. Manual operations do not count against the limit set by MAX OPS/DAY.
Five Minute Close Inhibit
– The controls use a built-in time delay to prevent the
line from closing into a charged Capacitor Bank. This “Close Inhibit” delay begins
after every Open operation and is active for 5 minutes. Neither Automatic nor
Manual Close operations will take place while “Close Inhibit” is active.
Other Operational Features
– If the control loses power while the Capacitor
Bank Motorized Switch is operating (either Open or Close Direction), an IMMEDIATE
operation occurs upon restoration of power, bypassing the OPERATION TIME DELAY.
This insures the Motorized Switch finishes it’s travel.
If the control loses power while CLOSE INHIBIT is active, an IMMEDIATE OPEN
operation occurs upon restoration of power, bypassing the OPERATION TIME DELAY.
If the user switches from AUTO to any of the rotary switch Setup positions, and an
operation is pending, the operation is suspended.
If the user switches from any of the rotary switch Setup positions to AUTO, and an
operation is pending, the operation is suspended.
Voltage Monitor (NoMAX
®
900 and 950)
– When the front panel rotary switch is
set to VOLT MONITOR, the display will show the sensed line voltage.
Temperature Monitor (NoMAX
®
900 only)
– When the front panel rotary switch
is set to TEMP MONITOR the display will show the measured ambient temperature.
