The 1300 is a Time Control
with Voltage Override. Four
independent time schedules can
be programmed for seasonal
changes or to block out portions
of a day or year. Voltage override
allows high or low voltages to
override the time schedules for
applications where voltage
regulation is important. The
voltage settings can be
programmed to be time
independent or to allow differing
voltage set-points at different
times of the day or year.
Voltage sensing is RMS
and is averaged over time
so the Control will ignore
brief sags or spikes.

The two models of the HD Series
1000 Capacitor Controls monitor
and control capacitor banks based
on combinations of time of day,
ambient air temperature and system
voltage (RMS). All controls have an
electronic clock with perpetual
calendar for leap years, holidays and
daylight savings time. A 10 year
replaceable battery maintains the
clock time through extended power
outages. The LCD display confirms
all settings and displays the nonresetable operations counter. Front
panel lights confirm the proper
operation of the control and display
the capacitor switch status. A front
panel toggle switch allows manual
control. Adaptive Trip measures the
average voltage change caused by
operating the capacitor bank and
uses this data to prevent “hunting”.
The date and time, system voltage
and ambient temperature are all
monitored with digital accuracy and
displayed for easy field adjustment
without test equipment. All control
settings are easily and quickly
entered from the front panel.
Sophisticated internal software
prevents inappropriate control
settings. Software selectable Secure
Mode prevents unwanted field
changes to the Control program
while still allowing field monitoring.
With the RS-232 interface and
supplied software, Controls can be
programmed by computer, a quantity
of controls can be quickly and
identically programmed. This
interface is also used for
downloading stored data to a
computer. All Controls can monitor
their own operation and they can
record temperature and system
voltage over a period from a few
days up to 6 months.

This feature eliminates unnecessary and unwanted
capacitor bank switching operations. The Control
anticipates voltage changes caused by opening and
closing the capacitor bank switching operations. This
feature works by measuring the line voltage before and
after each switching operation. Adaptive Trip will prevent
“hunting” and other nuisance operations.

The 1600 is a Time Control with Temperature and Voltage Override.
The time control features are the same as for the Model 1300; a 365
day time clock with daily and/or seasonal schedules. Temperature
override allows high or low temperatures to override the time control
settings. Voltage override allows high or low voltages to override the
time and temperature settings. The temperature and voltage settings
can be programmed to be time independent or to allow different
temperature and voltage set-points at different times of the day or year.
This control provides maximum versatility for a variety of applications.

CAPACITOR CONTROLS
The NoMax 2000 VAR Capacitor
Control sets a new standard for
sophisticated automatic VAR and
Voltage control of distribution capacitor
banks. All necessary control parameters
are dialed in on the front panel. The LCD
display confirms all settings and displays
the non-resetable operations counter. A
full complement of system monitoring
functions allows the user to monitor the
distribution system and make the most
appropriate control settings without extra
test equipment. Front panel lights confirm
the proper operation of the control and
display the capacitor switch status. A
front panel toggle switch allows manual
control. Adaptive Trip for both VAR and
Voltage control modes measures the
average system change caused by
operating the capacitor bank and uses
this data to prevent “hunting”.
Sophisticated internal software prevents
inappropriate control settings. With the
RS-232 interface and supplied software,
Controls can be programmed by
computer; a quantity of controls can be
quickly and identically programmed. This
interface is also used for downloading
stored data to a computer. VAR Controls
can monitor their own operation and
record voltage, current and power factor
over a period from a few days up to 6
months. An electronic clock with
perpetual calendar for leap years and
daylight savings time provides accurate
time stamping of all recorded data. A 10
year replaceable battery maintains the
clock time through extended power
outages. Software selectable Secure
Mode prevents unwanted field changes to
the Control program while still allowing
field monitoring. The 2000 VAR Control
works with Current sensors from Lindsey
(CVMI) and Fisher-Pierce (1301) and the
appropriate sensor is selected and
adjusted by computer. Optional Neutral
Current Sensing is available to monitor &
disconnect unbalanced capacitor banks.

The 2000 VAR Control with Voltage Override is a versatile and flexible Control
for the optimum in capacitor bank control. For ease of programming, VAR
settings are in Amps Reactive. Voltage override settings are available to keep
line voltage within prescribed limits for all VAR conditions. Programming is made
easier by the extensive built in system monitoring functions accessible via the
front panel display. Selectable Control Modes allow VAR control, VAR with
Voltage Override or Voltage only. Reverse Power Set tells the Control what to
do when reverse power flow is detected. The front panel selectable choices are
Ignore (leave the Control in its present state and wait for normal power flow to
be restored), revert to Voltage Control or take the capacitor bank off line
until normal power flow is restored. Neutral Current Monitoring is an
available option to detect faulty capacitors, malfunctioning capacitor bank
switches or unbalanced capacitor banks. Front panel settings adjust relay
operating time for motor operated or solenoid operated capacitor bank switches.

RS-232 Interface
and Windows™
Utility Software
All Capacitor Controls include
an RS-232 interface to speed
programming, download stored
data and for remote monitoring
and control.
The RS-232 interface is
accessed via the front-panel
mounted DB-9 connector.
This interface can be connected
directly to a portable computer
to program controls, download
a program from a Control to the
computer, verify the Control’s date
and time, for remote monitoring
and communications or for
accessing the recorded Control
operations and power system data.
If greater security is required for
a Control installation, the software
controlled Secure Mode can be
turned on to prevent the program
parameters from being changed
from the front panel. All front panel
monitoring functions remain active.
The Secure Mode can be turned
on and off any time on any Control
using the computer.
For VAR Controls, the software
allows the user to choose the
appropriate current sensor and
enter the necessary sensor
parameters including phase
shift, conductor size, etc.

WINDOWS™ UTILITY SOFTWARE
Data Memory can be used for recording a voltage,
temperature or VAR profile, capacitor bank switching
operations and power outages. For data logging, up to
5,000 data points can be stored at 1 minute intervals
covering 3 days or up to 6 months at 1 hour intervals or
only when the capacitor bank operates. Stored data is
downloaded via the RS-232 interface for viewing with
the supplied Windows™ software.
All acquired Control and System data is stored
inside the Capacitor Control in nonvolatile
memory; no data is lost during a power outage or
from a drained battery. The Windows™ software
downloads the stored data and displays it in an
easy to read format and graphs temperature,
voltage or current data. The plotted data can be
examined by zooming in or out and scrolling
through each day, week or month.
Customize the data plots to view only the data you
are interested in and for the period of time you
wish to examine. Print the acquired data as either
a table or as the graphs displayed on screen.
All collected Profile data is also available in text form for
reviewing temperature, capacitor bank operations, line
current and voltage or power outages. This data can also
be exported to spreadsheets for further analysis.
