Installation
Before you install the switch control in the eld, carry out the following steps; this is best
done in the shop before you leave for the installation site:
STEP 1. Inspect the switch control for visible damage.
On receipt of the control, make sure there is no obvious damage to the switch
control enclosure or any of the internal components. Also check any switch interface
connectors included with the control. If the battery will not be used immediately,
disconnect it, store it in a cool dry place, and recharge it every 6 months or less.
STEP 2. Put a copy of the source, team, and line-segment information/drawing in the door
pocket of the control or low voltage cabinet.
For more details, see the “Planning Your IntelliTeam II System” section on page 7.
STEP 3. Locate the items that you need in order to install and set up the IntelliTeam software.
You will need the following items to install the software, set up the control, set
up the communications equipment (radio, modem, etc.), and enable team operation.
You can also use these items to diagnose certain hardware problems that can occur
during installation.
PC Computer—Microsoft® Windows® XP Service Pack 3 (or higher), an
Intel® Core™ i7 Processor with 8 GB of Ram (recommended), or a Dual-Core™
Processor with 4 GB of Ram (minimum), a wireless card (onboard or USB),
an Internet browser, and access to sandc.com. An onboard Ethernet card is
required for IntelliTeam Designer software.
Serial or USB Cable—Connects the computer to the DATA PORT on the
control. Use a straight-through cable, not a null-modem cable. The cable must be
long enough to connect to an installed 6800 Series Control. The serial connection
is RS232 with a DB9-pin connector.

STEP 4. Make sure you have all required communication equipment (radios,
antennas, modems, etc.) for this control.
Each team member must be able to communicate with other team members—
either by radio or with a modem/cable system. Depending on the location of the
other team members, you may also need repeater radios to enable communication
between this control and the other team members. For more details, see the manu-
facturer’s documentation for your communications system.
STEP 5. Check the sensor conditioning module jumper(s).
The switch control sensor conditioning module is configured with a delta or
wye jumper. If you have three voltage sensors, the sensor conditioning module
uses one jumper. If you have six voltage sensors, such as line side sensors on
two switches in pad-mount or Vista switchgear, the sensor conditioning module
requires two jumpers.
Pre-Installation
Checklist
If you want to limit the number of line segments that a team picks up, you will
need to enable the Line Segment Limit setpoint on the Setup>Restoration>
IntelliTeam SG>Team X screen. For example, the Add 1 entry inhibits any other
line segments from being restored through a member after it restores its first line
segment.
To allow the team to pick up as many line segments as capacity allows, set this
value to the N/A entry.
