Production ExercisOr released.
28.06.03

ExercisOr is a microprocessor-controlled instrument which can be used to prove the settings on Cooper Power Systems reclosers. 

It works with controllers Types FXA, FXB, and the AC and DC versions of the Form 4C, Form 5 and Form 6.  The Time Current Curve (TCC) settings on these controllers can be tested before initial installation or after maintenance work.   

ExercisOr has an LCD display and a simple, four-button control panel for navigation through the menu.  This panel is used to select the type of controller under test, the power flow direction, the phase, the CT ratio and the minimum tripping current.  Red and green LEDs are used to show the simulated status of  the recloser.

After each test, ExercisOr displays the 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th tripping times (unless lock-out is set to less than 4 trips) and the time intervals between them 

When ExercisOr is switched off, the customised settings are stored in EEPROM.  This means that the settings can be restored without having to reconfigure right from the start again. 

ExercisOr is easy to use and lightweight so that it can be used in the field or even up a pole.  Its range of operating temperatures is from 0 to 50⁰ C.  The power source can be either 230 or 110 V a.c.  The instrument itself is housed in a rugged aluminium case and is supplied with a power lead and two cables for connecting  ExercisOr to the controller to be tested.  One of these, S1, is a 19 pin male connection for use with the DC controller whilst the other, S3, is a 14 pin  female connector for use with AC controllers.  No external equipment or accessories are required.
