Computer Interface
The CT-7000 S2 can be computer-controlled via
its RS232C or USB interface. Windows® based
BreakerAnalysis software is provided with each
unit. Using this software, circuit-breakers can
be timed from the PC. Test records can be re-
trieved from the CT-7000 S2 and then stored on
the PC for future analysis and report generation.
Circuit-breaker test plans can also be created on
the PC and transferred to the CT-7000 S2. Ad-
ditionally, test records can be exported in Excel,
PDF, and XML formats for further analysis.
Internal Test Record and
Test Plan Storage
Up to 150 test records can be stored in Flash EE-
PROM. Test records can be retrieved and printed
on the built-in thermal printer, or they can be
transferred to a PC via the unit’s RS232C or USB
interface.
Up to 99 circuit breaker test plans can be stored
in Flash EEPROM. Test plans are comprised of
all circuit-breaker performance specifi cations
(stroke, velocity, and contact time). A test plan
can be used to immediately test a circuit-break-
er. A pass/fail report is then generated by com-
paring actual performance with the specifi ca-
tions in the stored test plan. Test plans can also
be generated on a PC and transferred to the CT-
7000 S2 via the unit’s RS232C or USB interface.
Diagnostic Capabilities
The CT-7000 S2 can perform diagnostics on its
internal electronics. Diagnostics can also be per-
formed to verify contact cable connections and
to test the travel transducer’s electronics.
User Interface
The CT-7000 S2 features a back-lit LCD screen
(20 characters by 4 lines) that is viewable in
both bright sunlight and low-light levels. A rug-
ged, 16-key, membrane keypad is used to control
the unit.
