The IOEX card has been engineered for safety and reliability. Optically
isolated inputs and voltage free output contacts give a high degree of
protection to external equipment. It is designed to mount onto the PTCC
radio tray and is provided in a fully sealed enclosure with a cable for
connection to the Control and Protection Module (CAPM) card.
The Pole Top Control Cubicle (PTCC) incorporates a Control and Protection
Module (CAPM) that includes a V23 modem port as standard. However, this
unprotected interface is not suitable for driving data lines external to the
PTCC. Its use is restricted to driving radios mounted inside the PTCC.
The interface mounts onto the radio tray in the PTCC. A User Manual is
supplied explaining the installation and operation requirements.
Nu-Lec Part Number:
ELCTERM1-03 The correct protocol version must be loaded in the CAPM V.23 Modem to
allow the interface to operate correctly. Contact your Nu-Lec agent if unsure
whether your CAPM code version supports this protocol.
With the Trip and Close set a supply utility can check the mechanical operation
of a recloser before installation in the field without having a spare control cubicle.
The set is a completely self-contained unit that operates from its own power
source, four "D size" batteries. It works by operating the recloser's trip and close
coils from capacitors mounted inside the case.
The unit is easily operated and instructions on its use are printed on the inside panel.
The Adapter is designed to fit onto the gas fill valve located on the
switchgear through an injection nozzle. The device incorporates a
regulator which is connected to the SF6 gas cylinder (supplied by the
customer). A one metre length of hose connects the regulator to the on/off
valve and pressure gauge. A further nine metres of hose connects the
adaptor to the injection nozzle and switchgear.
FIBRE-OPTIC MODEM
Nu-Lec manufactures its own fibre-optic modem designed for use with Nu-
Lec products. It can be used for any application that uses the RS232 port at
speeds from 2400 to 19.2k baud. The modem provides electrical isolation
between two connected devices over a distance of up to 50 metres using
1mm plastic fibre-optic cable.
Power supply is 12-15 volts DC which can be supplied either through the DB9
adaptor or one of the two supply sockets on the modem. The spare socket can
be used to power other modems or equipment requiring the same voltage.
