EntelliGuard Manager Tool Kit
Installation Requirements
The EntelliGuard Manager software requires .Net Framework 4.5, and Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
version 7 to be installed for its operation. If the computer is connected to the internet, the software installer
setup file will automatically download and install both these packages. For PremEon S communication, the
USB driver must also be installed and is available in the installation package.
The EntelliGuard Manager software requires the Microsoft Loopback Interface to be installed for its operation
on Windows 8, when the PC is not connected to a network. Note that the loopback interface will not be
automatically installed by the installer, and therefore must be manually installed. Refer to the Installation
Guide (DEE-688) for instructions on installing the Microsoft Loopback Interface.
Hardware
The EntelliGuard Manager Software Package requires the GTUTK20 in order to power and communicate with
EntelliGuard trip units. The GTUTK20 utilizes a serial interface to communicate. For computers without a
serial communication port a USB to RS232 converter can be used.
N o t e : Some USB –RS232 adaptors have poor drivers for Windows 7 & 8. The following USB – RS232
adaptors are recommended when being used with the EntelliGuard Manager Software:
•
•
•
FTDI Chip (available on DigiKey)
TRENDnet TU-S9 (available on Amazon)
Plugable Prolific PL2303HW Chipset (available on Amazon)
Trip Unit Support
The EntelliGuard Manager software supports all EntelliGuard Trip units (including MPRO 27 & 50) and
PremEon S trip units.
EntelliGuard Trip Units with firmware version 08.00.26 or later also support the following additional features:
•
•
•
•
Trip Unit Language Pack upload
Digital Current Injection Testing
Catalog Number and Device name edit and save
The software also provides Firmware update feature, and it requires that EntelliGuard trip unit has
the firmware version 08.00.20 or later.
(PremEon S units do not have above features).
EntelliGuard Trip Unit features vary by Catalog number. Some features displayed in the software may not be
supported by the connected Trip Unit.
Minimum System Requirements
• Windows 7 (Service Pack 1 or higher, x86, x64) / Windows 8 (x86, x64)
• 1 GHz or faster processor
• 1 GB RAM

Troubleshooting Guide
1. The program does not start up after install
a) Verify NET Framework 4 installed (see below)
2. Program starts but I cannot not get it to connect, Disconnected indicator red
a) Close and Restart the program
3. Program starts but I cannot get it to connect, Disconnected indicator Orange
a) Verify USB to RS232 COM port address
b) Are the Slave Id’s matching (Device & Software)
c) Confirm installation of USB – RS232 drivers
d) Is the USB – RS232 a recommended adaptor?
4. During digital injection, my actual time exceeds the expected trip time?
Some variance is expected due to breaker wear and injection timing. Expected time is the ideal trip time
determined by the trip curves. If there is a large variance, inspect the breaker wiring. Mechanism timing is
determined by the auxiliary switch and added to the trip time. Service to the switch may be required.
