1 Dong Hoang 17/06/2020 - Correct calibration file (or cal file). This file
2 Dong Hoang 22/06/2020 contains switchgear records and CVT
calibration data. Ideally it should be
captured from the most recent WSOS file
read from the switchgear that has the
SCEM to be replaced. The most recent file
ensures the switchgear records (which
include dynamic data like operation
counters, contact lives) are most up to
date. Cal files acquired from factory are
original ones with data for new unit.
Capturing cal file from an existing WSOS file can be
done in WSOS in offline mode. Opening Display-
Maintenance- Calibration page of a saved
switchgear file (WSOS file) will display details of the
switchgear records of that unit. It may be that the
Status page show “Data Invalid” but the Calibration
page still shows correct information. Provided the
switchgear serial number shown on the Calibration
page is the same as the physical one, found on the
name plate of the switchgear (circuit breaker unit),
the calibration is considered as good in most of the
time.
Please refer to the Calibration screenshots below for

more information on how the page looks like. A
copy of the cal file can be obtained by clicking on
“Save Data To File” on this page. A detailed
procedure to Retrieve and Write SCEM data are also
available.

B. REMOVING AND REPLACING SCEM CARD on

an N series Recloser
Step 1: Remove and store the six wing-nuts securing

the gland plate. Reach inside the SCEM compartment
and disconnect the control cable from the SCEM card
Warning: Behind the SCEM card is another card called

BOSSCEM. Do not loosen any bolts securing this card.
Step 4: Gently attach the new SCEM card to the

bosscem.
Step 2: Undo the four mounting bolts securing the

SCEM cover to the bosscem. Remove the cover
Step 5: Fit the SCEM cover and insert each of the four
screws and tighten to finger pressure to hold the cover
in place. Use a circular pattern to progressively tighten Step 8: Click the “Import Data File” button to
each of the bolts. The replacement SCEM card is now in import the cal file.

switchgear and that all data is valid.
