INTRODUCTION
This guide is designed to assist engineers and qualified
technicians with programming of the Form 4C control.
These individuals must be familiar with the functions and
programming parameters required for specific recloser
installations.
This guide contains a listing of all access codes, pro-
gram settings, and detailed operating descriptions of the
code parameters. The codes, settings, and parameter
descriptions are also listed on the control information
label located inside the cabinet door.
CAUTION: Equipment misoperation. Do not
connect this control to an energized recloser
until all control settings have been properly pro-
grammed and verified. Refer to the programming
information for this control. Failure to comply can
result in control and recloser misoperation, equipment
damage, and personal injury. G110.3
!
CAUTION: Recloser misoperation. The con-
trol must be removed from service prior to per-
forming any maintenance, testing, or programming
changes. Failure to comply can result in misoperation
(unintentional operation) of the recloser. T216.2
!

The Form 4C control’s three-level security system limits
personnel access to only those control functions appro-
priate to their responsibilities. The four-digit security
code prohibits unauthorized keyboard access to pro-
gramming and operating parameters. No programming
commands are accepted by the control unless the oper-
ator enters the appropriate four-digit security code. Be
sure the necessary security codes are available to pro-
gramming personnel.
Interrogation of the control to display all operating para-
meters and read-only functions of the control panel does
not require entering a security code.
Note: Turning off the display at the keyboard removes any
security code previously entered via the keyboard.
Any security level entered is disabled 10 minutes after
keying in the last instruction or interrogation.
During programming, if identical codes are selected for
different security levels, the higher security level code is
recognized by the control.
First Level Security
First level security authorizes changes to the following
operating parameters:
• Minimum trip values
•Number of operations to lockout
•Time–current curves
• Reclose time
• Current-transformer selection
• Supervisory close reset time
• Phase identification
• Feature ON/OFF commands
• Selection of metering integration intervals
• Access to TCC timing groups
• Activation of Sensitive Ground/Earth Fault, High-
Current Trip, and High-Current Lockout
• Event Recorder
• Duty Cycle Monitor Factor
Second Level Security
The second level allows modification of these parame-
ters:
• Set control identification number
• Close retry time and number of attempts
• Operations counter
Third Level Security
The third level allows changes to these parameters:
• Security codes for levels 1, 2, and 3
• Line frequency
Factory Programmed Security
Codes
The Form 4C is programmed at the factory with stan-
dard security codes for first (1111), second (2222), and
third (3333) level security. These codes are changeable
to any four-digit number using the third level security.

CONTROL SECURITY
IMPORTANT: These security levels are designed to
be accessible only to personnel completely familiar
with the operation of these functions. Faulty program-
ming could lead to unintentional control performance.

KEYBOARD FUNCTIONS
Prior to interrogation and programming, the operator should be familiar with the control’s keyboard. Figure 2 shows
each key and its description of operation.

Keyboard Functions.

The Form 4C control is equipped with a 24-hour notation
time clock that records the year, month, day, hour,
minute, and seconds of recorded events. The clock
begins operation upon connection to the control’s ac
power or backup power supply.
The clock must be set at the time the control is installed
and reset whenever control power is disconnected.
When the control is first energized, the clock default
month and day are 1/1 and the year is 2001. The clock
must be set prior to programming or interrogation for the
recorded events to be logged to the proper day and
time.
The clock is used in conjunction with the event recorder
and load profile monitor to store events recorded in the
control. No security code is required to set the clock or
change clock settings.
To set, examine, or change clock settings, refer to
Access Codes 153 through 156.
1. Connect the ac supply and the control battery. Four
dashes (----) will appear on the LCD display to indi-
cate that the clock needs to be set.
2. From the keyboard, press DISPLAY ON. The Ready
(rdY) prompt appears indicating the control is ready
for programming.
To set the year:
1. Press the CODE key and the numbers 1-5-3 (for
access code 153). Then press ENTER.
2. Press the CHANGE key. Enter the four digits of the
current year. Press ENTER.
To set the date:
1. Press the SCROLL key to advance the control to
Access Code 154. Code 154 can also be entered
manually.
2. Press CHANGE. Enter four digits for the month (01
to 12) and day (01 to 31). Single-digit months and
days are preceded by a zero. Press ENTER.
To set hour and minute:
1. Press SCROLL to advance the control to Access
Code 155. Code 155 can also be entered manually.
2. Press CHANGE and enter four digits for the hour (01
to 24) and minute (01 to 59). Press ENTER.

Interrogation of Program Settings
The keyboard of the Form 4C control can be used to interrogate and display all programmed parameter settings. The
most commonly used parameters have dedicated function keys.
Use the following procedures for interrogation of control parameters. Be sure the display is ON and the rdY prompt is
displayed.
To interrogate other dedicated control parameters or status information, press any of the function keys, listed below, at
Step 1. Repeat Step 2 for any parameter with a phase and ground function. When pressed, the PHASE/GROUND key
will alternately display the phase and ground values of the appropriate parameters. (If the PHASE/GROUND key is
inadvertently pressed for a parameter without a phase and ground value, the control will ignore the command.)
Changing and Verifying Control Program Settings
Before making changes to control parameters, the operator must enter a security code that qualifies him to make
changes to control settings.
The security code must be re-entered if the display is turned off (or shuts off automatically after 10 minutes with no fur-
ther keyboard entry). This feature ensures that the Form 4C control returns to the read-only security access mode,
after the programming operator leaves the control.
The control can be programmed via the keyboard, independent of the position of the Supervisory ON/OFF switch.
The Supervisory ON/OFF switch must be ON when programming via the data port or through the digital communica-
tions accessory.

CONTROL INTERFACE
SOFTWARE PROGRAM
An optional Form 4C INTERFACE™software program
is available to enable the control to be programmed and
operated with a personal computer. It is used to send
and receive data from the control and to provide access
to the Data Reader’s data files.
Form 4C INTERFACE software permits complete
uploading and downloading of all data stored in the con-
trol. It includes a database manager that allows the
operator to import, export, or delete data, such as con-
trol settings and data records from the database.
The software enables the user to print various reports
and provides organized menus of data including:
•all control programming parameters
•event recorder information
•load profile records
•demand metering records
•duty cycle monitor data
The software also allows the user to operate the control
directly. Form 4C controls with the Sensitive
Ground/Earth Fault feature must use KSPS2 software
DOS version 2.0 or later.
The Form 4C INTERFACE program (catalog number
KCCI-30-F4) can be used on any personal computer
with a minimum of Microsoft®Windows 95®operating
system, 16 MB of RAM, and a 266 MHz Intel®Pentium®
processor.
CONTROL OPERATION WITH
A PERSONAL COMPUTER
A Data Port-to-Computer Interface Cable is available to
permit connection of a personal computer to the data
port on the front panel of the Form 4C control. The inter-
face cable consists of an EIA232-connector on one end
and a data port 9-pin connector on the other end.
The cable includes an adapter that converts low-power
Form 4C control data-port signals to an EIA232 inter-
face. This will connect directly to personal computers
with a 25-pin serial port and allows downloading of data
from the control into the computer (Figure 4).
The personal computer can also be used to upload all
control parameter settings into the control for convenient
programming. The complete set of control operating
parameters can be programmed and verified locally at
the installation site or at a remote site. Programming
data for each control is stored in the computer and can
be printed out and archived for future reference. A print-
out of each control’s program settings can also be kept
at the installation site for reference during future inspec-
tions.

Table 3 is a list of the access codes for the firmware
accessories available for the Form 4C control. A detailed
list of program settings, parameter descriptions, and
keyboard access codes appears in the Access Code
Description section of this manual. Access codes and
parameter descriptions can also be found on the control
information label located inside the cabinet door.
The Form 4C control has numerous firmware acces-
sories available to provide the user with new alterna-
tives for improving the performance of the distribution
system.
The firmware accessories include not only new function-
al firmware, but also additional hardware and operation
with KSPS2 Interface software Version 4.0. Each
firmware accessory includes local operation via a toggle
switch, LED indication of the status, and an LED test
pushbutton. Access codes interrogated via the front
panel keypad are also available for status.
The firmware accessories include the Optional Universal
I/O board as part of the design for access to the CPU,
control points, and status points. Each status point is
available via a single-pole, double-throw contact.
Serial communications are also included for all the avail-
able firmware accessories and documented in Refer-
ence Information R280-90-11 Communications Point
Data Base for Digital Communications Protocol Data
2179.
The CPU firmware (Access Code 72) varies based upon
the functionality required. Table 2 lists the values for
Protocol 2179.

Access codes, parameter descriptions, and security lev-
els used in programming the Form 4C control are listed
in this section of the programming guide. The high and
low limits and increments of the code parameter values
are also specified.
The control is furnished with indicated factory settings.
These settings are not recommended for customer use.
The control must be programmed with applicable set-
tings prior to installation.

•Minimum trip is a threshold value at which a system
overcurrent is detected.
•Minimum Trip is set for both phase and ground
through a range of settings based on the recloser’s
CT ratio.
CT ratio 500:1 allows a range from 25 to 800 A
phase and 2 to 400 A ground.
CT ratio 1000:1 allows a range from 50 to 1600 A
phase and 5 to 800 A ground.
CT ratio 2000:1 allows a range from 100 to 2400 A
phase and 10 to 1600 A ground.
•All values are adjusted in increments of 1.
•The control accepts only the values within the limits
preset in the control. Attempts to enter other values
results in a LO/HI message.
•Use the PHASE/GROUND key to select phase and
ground.

•TCC is an abbreviation for time–current curve. A
TCC is used as a protective response to initiate a
trip signal when the minimum trip value (phase or
ground) is exceeded.
•Identifies the programmed TCC1 - phase and ground
curves selected from the TCC timing groups of the
Form 4C control. (Reference Access Code 70). In
most situations, TCC1 is designated as the fast
curve.
•Time–current characteristics for TCC1 - phase are
independent of time–current characteristics for TCC1
ground.
•Time–current characteristics of TCC1 - phase and
ground are independent of time–current characteris-
tics of TCC2 - phase and ground.
•When TCC characteristics are modified, the control
readout indicates a modified curve by prefixing the
TCC number with a lower-case c(Access Codes
100-114).
