Overview
S&C products may be revised to add new features to an
existing assembly. The revision information is listed after
the catalog number with “R” and the revision number. Parts
required for a specific revision are also refered to with the
same Rx designation.
An existing R0 Communication Module can be upgraded
to R3 functionality by installing the R3 Wi-Fi/GPS
transceiver and harnesses.
• S&C Power Systems Solutions can train utility
personnel to do the R3 retrofit.
• The retrofit must be done indoors at an electrostatic-
discharge (ESD) protected workbench.
• The SCADA radio can be configured in the shop for a
installation at a specific site.
• The R3 Communication Module can be easily installed
at the site by a line crew.
Note:
The IntelliRupter fault interrupter remains fully
operational during the communication module swap.
There will be no service interruption.
Note:
When establishing a rotation procedure to swap
communication modules at the site, each SCADA radio
must be configured in the shop for the specific site at
which it will be installed.
