Set the DIP Switch settings as you required. Please contact if you need
any help.

Selecting Threshold was used before the Di/Dt

detecting technique available. Hence its
recommendedtouseDi/DtoverThreshold.

Usually we select Voltage. If the pole has a

anotherline(maybeLVline)connectedbelow,its
recommendedtoselectCurrentastheStart/Stop

Select minimum so the Indicator battery will last
long.Usuallyiftheschedulingofrepairstaketime

E.g.: During night if fault occurs and there is no

way to attend to the repair, it will keep on
displaying error until crew goes there. But it will
drainthebatteryfast.
EnableResetonreturnofVoltage/Currentreturn
dependingontheDip4setting.

Select Remote Programming enabled. So we can

program through the Collector without removing

Once the set up is set, do the following on the 115Collector

a. SettheSameDipSwitchSettingasinthefaultIndicator.OnlyDip8mustbekeptatOFF.
b. ResettheCollectorfromtheResetCollectorButton.
c. ResetRemoteButtonhas3functions.

YoucanexecuteFunction3: Press the Reset Remote button for more than 4s. We can upload new
settings without changing the dip setting of the Indicators if their
(Indicators)Dip8isatON.
