I. To proceed, press ENTER again to start the test. Press any
other key to STOP the test. Once a test has been started,
the TS-31 will respond with:
Be careful at this time. Any key press will abort the test.
J. The test may take anywhere from a fraction of a second to
minutes to complete, depending on which procedure was
run. If the test passes, the TS-31 will display:
If the breaker tripped during the test, RESET the circuit
breaker before continuing.
K. The TS-31 will prompt for the next instructions.The display
will show:
Enter one of the following numbers:
“1” Select a new test
“2” Enter a new catalog number
“3” Enter a new switch setting.
If you enter “1” you will be sent to step F. Choosing “2” will
send the program back to Step C. Entering “3” sends you
back to step E, which will be slightly different the second
time through. On the second line after the prompt for the
setting, a number or text in brackets will appear. This will
indicate the last setting you entered. If you DON’T wish to
change a setting, just press ENTER. If you DO wish to
change a setting, type in the new setting and press ENTER.
L. If you pressed “C” when asked:
You will first be prompted by:
and then the phase to test. A message will then appear
stating the test results. For example:
M. There are additional ERROR messages which may appear
on the display during this operation, not covered previously:
The test set has sensed that current is not flowing correctly
in the breaker under test and there is either an open or short
circuit between the TS-31 and the breaker trip unit.
This message will appear if you enter a type of test that is
not available on the breaker being tested. For example:
You will get this message if you enter “G” (for ground fault
test) in step F because that catalog number does have
ground fault.
This message will appear if you enter a setting value that
does not exist. For example, a SMD9700ANGT has contin-
uous current settings of 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 70, 80, 90, and
100%. If you were to enter any value other than those
listed, the above message would appear.
This message means that a test requires more current to
run than the TS-31 can produce. The settings on this breaker
should be lowered and the new settings should be entered
into the TS-31 (Step K, Option 3).Then re-run the desired test.
Running many successive high-current long time tests may
overheat the test set. It will protect itself from damage by
preventing further tests until it has cooled down. This display
will indicate when testing can resume.
N. The TS-31 will warn you of possible fault coverage conflicts.
These conflicts may occur if, for example, the short time and
instantaneous pickup settings overlap or interfere with one
another. In this case, the following sequence of messages
will appear:
These messages indicate that something other than the
desired function may trip the breaker. You then have the
option of continuing with the test or aborting it.
NOTE: For trip unit values, refer to pages 34-35 of this
bulletin, or the information sheets supplied with the
TS-31 kit.
