Installation Options
VERSA-TECH® single-phase reclosers are designed for outdoor pole or
structure mounting and application on
overhead electrical distribution systems.
The energized recloser is insulated from
the pole/structure by a polymer insulator.
The VERSA-TECH® Single Phase Electronic Recloser is available in two basic
mounting configurations:
1. Pole/Structure mounting (see Fig. 4-1)
2. Crossarm mounting (see Fig. 4-2).
Refer to the catalog number of the unit. The
fourth (4th) character position indicates
the mounting arrangement, e.g., the "1" in
the seventh position of (PSC86)2X11XXX
indicates a Pole/ Structure mounting. A “2” in
this position indicates Crossarm mounting,
e.g., (PSC86)2X12XXX.
Figure 4-8 Bypass Arrangement
Hubbell Power Systems recommends the
use of a by-pass switch in parallel with the
recloser. This arrangement allows the unit to
be easily taken out of the circuit for service,
should the need arise. It also allows all
connections to be made without picking up
load current with the jumper connections
(see Fig. 4-3).
Figure 4-6 Pole/Structure Mounting
LIGHTNING ARRESTERS NOTE:
Hubbell Power Systems recommends
placing appropriately rated lightning
arresters as close as possible on both
the source and load sides of the recloser.

Overview
The VERSA-TECH® Recloser is a unique
and patented approach to recloser design.
The interrupter, drive mechanism, control,
and housing are raised to the system
potential. The entire assembly is then
insulated from ground using a standard
polymer post insulator. This approach
allows a compact simplified design and also
eliminates the potential for an insulation
breakdown failure.
The fault interruption occurs in the recloser’s
vacuum interrupter. This vacuum interrupter
has state of the art contacts utilizing axial
magnetic fields to interrupt in diffuse mode
for maximum interrupter life. The vacuum
interrupter is supported by an insulating
support housing with bonded epoxy
composite formulation over-molding for
maximum weather resistance.
The drive for the vacuum interrupter is
provided by a mechanism with a magnetic
actuator. The actuator has a rare-earth
neodymium magnet, which provides the
latching and holding force for the vacuum
interrupter in the closed position. A spring
provides the pressure to hold the vacuum
interrupter in the open position. Together
the rare-earth magnet and the spring
arrangement allow the mechanism to be
stable in the open or closed position without
the need for external power. To open the
vacuum interrupter a coil on the magnetic
actuator is pulsed in one direction. To close
the same coil is pulsed in the other direction.
Energy to open and close the recloser is
provided by a set of capacitors.

The VERSA-TECH® Recloser, when in the
closed position, operates automatically per
the programmed user settings.

in the down position.
Note for Versa-Tech I Reclosers with
Firmware 4.xx: For Versa-Tech I Reclosers
with firmware version 4.xx, whenthe recloser
locks out on Hot Line Tag, the solenoid can
be closed only after the Hot Line Tag mode
is disabled. This is accomplished by first
rotating the red lever back to its original
position (UP) and then by pushing the
Manual Handle (yellow handle) back to its
UP position. If the Manual Handle is UP prior
to putting the red lever to the UP position,
the Manual Handle must be pulled DOWN
and then pushed to the UP position in order
for the solenoid to close.
All Versa-Tech I and Versa-Tech LT
Reclosers: Hot Line Tag is an instantaneous

line current goes below 10A. To turn on
the remote radio, pull the red lever DOWN
and then push it UP within 30 seconds. the
radio will then automatically shut OFF after
10 minutes of communications inactivity to
minimize battery drain. If the red lever is
left in the DOWN position, the radio will be

5 — Recloser Operation
Manual Operating Handle
Refer to Figure 5-1 for Manual Operating Handle location. The manual operating handle is designed to allow manual operation of the
recloser with a hotstick. If the manual handle operating handle is rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise to the down (open) position the
recloser will open and interrupt the distribution circuit. Pulling the manual handle down anytime will manually pull open the mechanism and
the vacuum interrupter opening the recloser.
Closing the recloser after a manual open or automatic lockout can be done by moving the manual operating handle clockwise 90 degrees
to the up (closed) position. This will activate the electronic control, which will initiate the close sequence. Before the recloser is closed
the close capacitor is charged to the required level from the lithium batteries. When it reaches the necessary charge level, the magnetic
actuator closes the recloser. This process from movement of the handle until the recloser closes may take a few seconds.
Lockout Beacon
Refer to Figure 5-1 for Beacon location. The Lockout Beacon is a unique feature which is designed to aid the utility lineman in identifying
a locked out recloser. This high intensity sunlight visible amber LED will flash once every 3 seconds when the recloser has sequenced to
lockout. The lithium batteries provide the power for the flashing beacon.
Versa-Tech I Reclosers with FW 3.xx and Versa-Tech LT Reclosers:
The beacon will continue to flash every 3 seconds until the lineman closes the recloser or 1 hour has passed. After 1 hour, the flashing
beacon will automatically shut OFF. The beacon is also utilized when the recloser is manually opened. When manually opened, the beacon
will continue to flash until the recloser is closed or 60 seconds has passed.
Versa-Tech I Reclosers with FW 4.xx:
The beacon will continue to flash every 3 seconds until the lineman closes the recloser or 4 hours have passed. After 4 hours, the flashing
beacon will automatically shut OFF. The beacon is also utilized when the recloser is manually opened. When manually opened, the beacon
will continue to flash until the recloser is closed or 4 hours have passed.

Overview
To Establish Communications
The VERSA-TECH® Recloser can be fitted with an
optional radio which will allow settings, diagnostics and
scratchpad to be viewed remotely while the unit is in
service. The radio will also allow settings, timestamp and
scratchpad to be changed while the recloser remains in
service. The remote radio options are Digi/XBee 900MHz,
SiFLEX 900MHz, or Wireless (WiFi) 2.4GHz. The remote
radio is adapted to the serial port on the recloser. In
order to accomplish communication with the Digi/XBee or
SiFLEX remote radios, a separate Digi/XBee or SiFLEX
local radio is needed. The local radio is a USB powered
radio that is attached to the laptop or other personal
computer running the Versa-Tech Programmer User
Interface. Communication with the WiFi remote radio is
accomplished through the Wireless Network on the laptop
or personal computer.
If external local radios are required, they must be connected before
launching the programming software. If a WiFi remote radio is
utilized, connection to the wireless network card on the PC must
be established prior to launching the programming software. Once
the programming software is launched, click "Refresh List" on the
User Interface to scan for the reclosers within the range and "Auto
Connect" to connect to the selected detected devices. See Control,
Programming > Connection Section 6 of this manual.
Customer Supplied Requirements
Connecting WiFi
Personal computer with Microsoft® Windows® XP,
Windows® 7 32/64 bit or Windows® 8 operating system,
a USB to RS-232 serial cable if a direct connection is
desired, PC wireless card for connection through the WiFi
remote radio, local Digi/XBee radio with USB Type B serial
cable for connection through the Digi/XBee remote radio,
or local SiFLEX radio with USB Type B serial cable for
connection through the SiFLEX remote radio.
The Versa-Tech Recloser uses a 2.4GHz RN171 remote radio to
communicate over WiFi (without the need for a local radio). Wireless
communication is established to the Versa-Tech I (FW 3.xx or 4.xx)
and Versa-Tech LT through the internal wireless card on a PC and
the Versa-Tech Programmer software (UI version 4.50.15 or higher).
Wireless communication with a Versa-Tech I with firmware version
4.xx and Versa-Tech LT can be also be established using the VersaTech Recloser Programmer Version 3.1 iPad app. The WiFi radio has
the capability to communicate up to 100 feet from the recloser.
Software Installation
Connecting Local Radio
The local radio is controlled and powered by connecting a USB cable
between the module and a personal computer as shown in Figure
6-1. Communication with the local radio is accomplished through
the recloser programmer software (see section 6) provided with the
recloser.
Recloser programming software must be installed on the
computer proir to use. Installation software is provided
with each recloser on a Hubbell USB drive or is available
on the Hubbell Power Systems website.
Connecting Recloser to PC
The customer supplied DB9 Male/Female serial cable is
used to directly connect the recloser to a PC (hardwired).
Wireless communications can be established utilizing the
appropriate 900MHz remote/local radio combination or
the PC wireless networks/WiFi remote radio combination.

Remote Radio Power
When the VERSA-TECH® Recloser is in service with a load current of 10 Amps or more, the attached remote radio is on and powered from
the recloser's internal current transformers. If the recloser is not in service or the load current is less than 10 Amps, the radio is ON only for
10 minutes and must be powered from the recloser internal batteries. To turn on the radio, pull down the Non-Reclosing handle (red lever)
and then push it up. The radio then will automatically shut off after 10 minutes of communications inactivity to minimize battery drain. If the
Non-Reclosing Lever is left in the down position without the ample 10 Amps of load current, wireless communications will time out in 60
minutes.
NOTE: Whenever the remote radio on the recloser is changed or swapped with another remote radio, make sure that the battery is pulled
out of the recloser for at least 60s for the control to completely reset. After the reset, plug in the new remote radio to the DB 9 port of the
recloser followed by the battery pack insertion. This process lets the remote radio get correctly identified by the Versa-Tech Programmer.
Radio Operation
The Digi/XBee and SiFLEX radios communicate with each other on a 900MHz channel which utilizes frequency hopping to minimize
interference from other radio frequency sources. The RF modules are FCC compliant. The communication range is up to 500 feet open air.
The radios use a two-part addressing scheme to help ensure that messages from only authorized sources are passed to a recloser.
First, all VERSA-TECH® Recloser local and remote radios have a unique user transparent address which is transmitted during
communications. The recloser local radio will accept messages only from a remote radio with the same address. This helps prevent other
900MHz radios from making unauthorized communications with VERSA-TECH® Reclosers.
Second, each remote radio is programmed with a unique fixed radio communications address. This address allows users to differentiate
between multiple reclosers all within a 500-foot transmit/receive range. The remote radio will discard any message that does not include
its unique radio communications address. The local radio has provisions through the recloser programmer software (see Section 6) which
permits selecting any recloser's remote radio communications address.

Operations to Lockout
The Recloser Settings Tab appears when the Recloser
Programmer Software is loaded and opened. See Figure 6-2. At
this point, changes to the settings can be made as required for
the recloser’s particular application. When settings changes are
complete, the “Write Settings To Recloser” button will allow the
settings displayed to be stored in the recloser. Notice that settings
fields that are not identical to what is actually stored in control
memory are displayed in red until they are committed to memory.
From this point forward the recloser will use these new stored
settings. These settings can be checked at any time by clicking the
“Read Settings From Recloser” button.
The control can be set to 1, 2, 3, or 4 operations before the
recloser goes to lockout.
Minimum Trip Value
The sequence coordination feature if enabled will prevent
unnecessary operations of the recloser when used in a series
arrangement upstream from other fault interrupting device. If
the recloser senses current above the minimum trip level for a
duration shorter than the programmed control response time,
then the recloser will internally advance its software count by one
without tripping. This action allows an upstream recloser to stay in
proper sequence when faults are cleared by downstream recloser.
False counting is avoided by applying hysteresis to the minimum
trip threshold. The current must increase above the minimum
threshold and then decrease to 87.5%of the trip threshold before
a count is registered. The count is remembered for the reset time.
The Minimum Trip Value is the minimum current sensed that will
cause the Recloser to trip. This current is programmable from
30A to 800A for Versa-Tech I and 30A to 200A for Versa-Tech
LT in 10A increments. The control will begin counting towards
meeting the selected time current curve when there is a half cycle
of current above this threshold. The current level is measured
by sampling and finding its peak value. The sample frequency
for current measurement is 1.04ms. This gives 16 samples per
60Hz cycle. Sliding window approach is followed to perform
current measurement. Current measurement is on half-cycle
basis. Hence, to assert a fault (current above Min. Trip), at least 8
samples are required.
Non Reclose/Hot Line Tag
The Non-Reclose handle has a dual functionality when the option
‘Non-Reclose/Hot Line Tag’ is selected by the proper radio buttons
on the main "Settings" tab of the user interface. In this mode,
when the red handle is pulled to the down position once (rotate
90° in the clockwise direction) the recloser is placed in the
traditional Non-Reclose mode using whichever curve is selected
to lockout on TCC1 (See Recloser Operation Section). However,
if the red handle is cycled (pull the handle down and up) twice
and the handle is brought back to the down position within 30
seconds, the unit is now placed in Hot Line Tag (HLT) or the
instantaneous trip mode. When the user selects the ‘Hot Line Tag
Only’ option in the Settings, the Non Reclose handle will function
always as HLT when the handle is pulled down( rotated 90° in
the clockwise direction). A unit placed in HLT mode is always
accompanied by a characteristic pulsed strobe of the beacon
serving as a visual indicator confirming the HLT mode. Hot Line
Tag takes precedence over Cold Load time.
Note for Versa-Tech I Reclosers with FW 4.xx:
When the recloser locks out on a HLT mode dropping the Manual
Operating handle (yellow), the unit would be able to close back in
only after the HLT mode is removed meaning that the NonReclose handle (red) has to be manually returned to the normal
position to disable the HLT function and then the Manual
Operating Handle is to be rotated 90° in the anti clockwise
direction for the recloser contacts to close back in.
NOTE: Units manufactured prior to August 2011 will not have the
dual functionality of the Non-Reclose Handle. However, these
units would have dedicated options for the Non-Reclose and Hot
Line Tag modes that can be enabled through the User Interface.
30
Manual Closing Delay Time
The time from when the manual handle is activated until the
recloser begins closing the circuit can be programmed from 0 to
30 seconds. The actual delay may be a few seconds longer than
the time programmed.
Sequence Coordination
Versa-Tech I Reclosers with FW 3.xx and VersaTech LT
Reclosers:
When "Sequence Coordination" box is checked, sequence
coordination is applied to all programmed shots.
Versa-Tech I Reclosers with FW 4.xx:
Sequence coordination is allowed to be made shot specific by
using the software and choosing the TCC curves where the
Sequence Coordination should operate on. This is accomplished
by selecting the check boxes for Sequence Coordination under
the respective TCC curves on the User Interface. Sequence
coordination would be applicable only on the checked TCC curves.
By checking the SC on lockout option, the recloser would trip
on TCC2 for a permanent fault that the unit would see past the
operations to lockout. For example: If the unit has 4 operations to
lockout with the SC Lockout option checked and the unit sees a
permanent fault that didn’t clear after 4 downstream operations
by the downstream devices, the recloser unit would lockout out
on the delayed TCC2 curve which would appear as a 5th actual
operation after recording 4(SC) events in the event log.
However, user can uncheck this option on the User Interface and
the recloser would continue to record all the downstream blinks
or the faults that didn’t engage Versa-Tech TCC curves on the line
as 5(SC) 6(SC) 7(SC) so on. Note that the unit would still lockout
on the delayed curve (TCC2) when the unit sees a permanent
fault which was not cleared by the downstream devices in either
situations. (See Control Programming > Event and Data Logs >
Sequence Coordination Events Logs Section).

Time-Current Curve Selection
The control can be set to utilize two different time current curves TCC1 and TCC2. TCC1 and TCC2 can be set separately to use one of 15
different time current curves. See Reference Bulletin TD10005E through TD100034E. Each of the 4 possible operations can be set to use either
TCC1 or TCC2.
Time-Current Curve Modifiers
Out of the 15 TCC curves, 11 of the curves come in with modifiers for greater coordination flexibility. By selecting Mod1, Mod2 or Mod3, the shape
of the time-current curve can be modified as shown in Reference Bulletin TD10005E through TD100026E.
Minimum Response Time
Minimum response time is used to achieve coordination between fault interrupting devices where fault levels would cause two devices in series to
both trip. When minimum response is enabled, tripping is inhibited until the minimum response time programmed is less than or equal to the fault
current time. The minimum response time is programmable from 0 to 250 milliseconds in 1 millisecond steps and can be enabled on operation
1, 2, 3, or 4. Minimum response can be enabled to each of the specific time current curves of the counts by checking the Enable Min. Response
option individually under each curve.
Basically, when a minimum response time is entered and the minimum response box is checked, the recloser will not open on the selected
shot until the minimum response time or the TCC time for that shot, whichever one is greater.
Reclose Time
Reclose Time is the amount of time from when the recloser interrupts the over-current until the recloser attempts to close the circuit again. Each of
the three possible reclose intervals is separately programmable from 0.25 to 60 seconds in 0.05 second increments.
Reset Time
Reset time is the amount of time from the last reclose until the present count of operations completed is reset to zero and it is also defined as
the amount of time from the last momentary over current event (current above minimum trip) the recloser sees until the timer expires. When the
recloser goes to lockout, the count is also reset to zero. Reset time is programmable from1 to 240 seconds in 1-second increments.

Time Stamp
The recloser has a built in time stamp circuit
which records the time and date following each
recloser operation. The time stamp on the
recloser can be set in two ways.
1. Every time the User Interface
communicates with the unit, the
Programmer generates a pop up question
to auto sync the host computer's clock
with the real time clock on the recloser.
2. The real time clock can also be set to
the Local or the UTC time zones by
selecting the proper radio button on the
User Interface and writing them to the
recloser by the clicking "Set Recloser
Time zone " under the Time and Security
tab. (See Section Time and Security.)
32
Cold Load Time
Cold Load Pick up
During this programmed interval, pick-up
threshold is elevated to Cold Load Pickup
value and the control is placed in one
operation to lockout mode. Over current timing
of TCC2 is used by the control. Cold Load
Pickup is active after the recloser has been
opened manually or has been locked out. Cold
Load Time is not valid while the recloser is
performing it's reclose operations. If no over
current is present during this interval, the
control will reset after cold time expires. Cold
Load Time is programmable from 0 to 300
sec. for VTI (FW 3.xx) and VTLT and 0 to 600
sec. for VTI (SCADA FW 4.xx) in 1 second
increments. Cold load time takes precedence
over the Non-Reclosing lever function.
NOTE: Cold Load Pick Up is only enabled for
Versa-Tech I Reclosers with FW 4.xx.
The range of the minimum trip can be elevated
by multiplying the minimum trip by the cold
load pick up factor during the Cold Load
Time. The Cold Load Pickup factor ranges
from 1-20 and is programmable in steps of
1.For example: A recloser programmed at a
minimum trip of 50A, cold load time of 100 sec
with the cold load pick up of 2 has a minimum
trip range from 1A-100A during the 100sec
cold load time when the unit has locked out (or
manually opened) and closed back in.
NOTE: Make sure that the host computer
has accurate time and date before using
the "Set Recloser Timezone " or the Auto
Sync option. The recloser would be able
to keep the time only when the time is
set wirelessly through the radios and
with the provided battery pack inside the
unit. INVALID times would be seen on the
Recloser Time section when times are set
through an RS232 serial connection.
The time stamp utilizes one of 3 power sources
to maintain correct time. When the recloser is
in service internal current transformer power
is used. When the recloser is open or not in
service the main lithium batteries are used. If
both of these power sources are unavailable
the control has a capacitor backup circuit,
which can power the time stamp for up to 7
days.
NOTE: Once the time stamp has been
set, it is important that the lithium battery
bayonet not be removed for more than 7
days. If the time stamp loses power, the
recloser will continue to function correctly,

separately downloaded. The Generate Full Recloser Report will not include the hourly log unless it has been previously downloaded.
Sequence coordination events will be registered and marked as such in the events log.
Scale is the amount of Amperes set as a reference for the graphical display of the hourly log.The graph would populate only after the
hourly log has been downloaded.
Total Count: The total count reflects the total number of times the bottle has been electronically opened on a fault operation. This is driven
by the microprocessor control.
This Count: This Count is the number of times the bottle has electronically opened from the last Reset. This Count can be Reset by using
the Reset button as in Figure 6-4.
Note: The external mechanical counter on the Versa Tech increments whenever the bottle has been opened either electronically or
manually by using the Manual Handle . So it is likely that the counts on the electronic and the mechanical counter differ when the Manual

7 — Testing
High Potential Withstand
Test
Applying AC 50/60 Hz voltage across the
open contacts of the recloser will test the
dielectric integrity of the vacuum interrupter.
The AC voltage should be applied at 40kV
which is 2/3 of the rated maximum withstand
for 60 seconds.
1. Open the recloser.
2. Connect the test voltage across the recloser open contacts by attaching one end of the test transformer to each of the 2-hole NEMA input pads (see Figure 7-1).
3. Ensure both ends have adequate electrical clearance from each other and from any ground.
4. Verify the recloser can hold the voltage across the open contacts for 60 seconds.
! WARNING
Hazardous voltages are present during testing. Severe
personal injury or death can occur from contact with
recloser or high voltage transformer during tests.
Recloser and high voltage transformer must be in a grounded test cage
or similar protective barrier to prevent accidental contact with energized
equipment.
! CAUTION
X-rays may be emitted from open vacuum interrupter contacts during high potential withstand tests.
X-rays may be hazardous to your health.
Maintain a minimum of 3 meters distance from recloser during this high potential withstand test.
X-rays emitted by testing at voltages up to 40kV are negligible at the minimum 3 meters
distance, but higher test voltages may result in hazardous x-ray emission.
During high potential withstand tests, self
extinguishing momentary breakdowns can
occur which do not indicate significant loss
of vacuum.

8 — Maintenance
Service Requirements
The Versa-Tech® Recloser has been designed for
a minimum mechanical life of 30,000 operations
(Versa-Tech I) and 10,000 operations (VersaTech LT). No routine maintenance is required
(other than occasional firmware upgrade and
battery replacement).
Battery Replacement
The batteries are made of a very stable lithium
chemistry, which is designed with a low self
discharge with a shelf life of 10 years. Hubbell
Power Systems is recommending that users
replace the batteries on a maximum 8 year cycle
(for Versa-Tech I Reclosers with FW 3.xx and
Versa-Tech LT Reclosers).
Note for Versa-Tech I Reclosers with
FW 4.xx only: Versa-Tech I FW 4.xx
was developed for SCADA compatibility.
It does not incorporate low power
optimization since it requires more
diagnostics and data collection. In cases
of lightly loaded lines, battery power is
utilized to perform these functions
resulting in decreased battery life.
! WARNING
Fire, explosion, leakage and severe burn hazard.
Do not recharge or disassemble batteries. Batteries should not be exposed to
temperatures above 212 degrees F. Do not incinerate batteries or expose them to water.
Do not short (+) and (-) terminals of batteries. When discarding batteries, insulate the (+)
and (-) terminals with insulating tape.
! WARNING
High voltage electric contact hazard.
Can cause severe injury or death.
The recloser housing and the battery bayonet are energized when the recloser is in service. Follow all of your utility's recommended safety practices
for working with energized apparatus of this voltage class. Use appropriate
length grip-all clamp stick or appropriately rated rubber gloves and personal
protective equipment.
Figures 8-1 and 8-2 show the battery bayonet
and placement in the recloser. The battery
bayonet was designed to be replaced using a hot
stick while the recloser is in service. The battery
bayonet utilizes a twist lock design. It is easily
removed by pushing in slightly and turning.
The date of manufacture of the battery bayonet
is stamped on its end casting. The date format is
"XXXX" where the first two numbers represent
the month and the second two numbers
represent the year.

Battery Disposal
Litihium batteries are neither specifically listed nor
exempted from the Federal Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) hazardous waste regulations as
promulgated by the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA). The only metal of possible
concern in a lithium battery is lithium that is not a listed
or characteristic toxic hazardous waste. Waste lithium
batteries can be considered a reactive hazardous
waste if there is a significant amount of unreacted, or
unconsumed lithium remaining in the spent battery.
The key to disposing of a lithium battery as a nonhazardous waste is to guarantee that it is fully or
mostly discharged. Once it is discharged it can be
disposed of as non-hazardous waste.
