SECTION 2: HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
CAUTION
2-1 GENERAL
THIS IS A SOPHISTICATED PIECE OF ELECTRICAL
EQUIPMENT. AS SUCH, IT SHOULD BE HANDLED
CAREFULLY AT ALL TIMES TO AVOID POSSIBLE
DEVICE DAMAGE.
The purpose of this section is to familiarize the reader
with OPTIMizer hardware, its nomenclature, and any
applicable specifications. The information presented is
divided into the following three sections:
• Package and External Connections
• Operator Panel
2-2 PACKAGE AND EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS
• Specification Summary
The OPTIMizer Hand Held Programmer is packaged in
a high strength plastic housing with approximate dimen-
sions of 5.75 inches by 3.5 inches by 1.25 inches. An
operator panel with a display and associated pushbut-
tons are located on the front of the device (Figure 2-1).
External connections are made on the top of the hand
held programmer (Figure 2-2). A top hinged protective
cover is provided to protect external connections from
the entrance of foreign matter. The protective cover is
opened through the use of a thumb nail notch (Figure 2-
3). A storage case holds the hand held programmer and
its phone type connection cord.
Notice: Integral to the OPTIMizer Hand Held Program-
mer is the ability to lock out changes to a
breaker’s settings through the use of a pass-
word. The correct password must be entered
to proceed with setpoint changes, baud rate
changes or the initiation of a test. The pass-
word entry field contains four digits that can be
changed. The factory installed password 1000
can be used until a new password is selected
by the user.

2-2.1 INTERNAL BATTERY POWER
A 9-volt battery compartment with a slide out access
cover located on the back of the device provides easy
access to an internal 9-volt battery (Figure 2-4). The
number of continuous operation hours the 9-volt battery
will support depends upon the type of battery used.
Refer to Table 2.2 for information about battery choices.
When an auxiliary power supply is not being used, the
programmer will automatically turn off to save battery
power or provide an indication of insufficient power
under the following conditions:
1. The programmer turns itself off when the battery
power available is not sufficient to carry out all pro-
grammer functions, including both powering of the
programmer and the trip unit. When this occurs the
battery should be replaced.

2. If none of the pushbuttons on the operator panel are
used for approximately 2 1/2 minutes, the program-
mer turns itself off. This includes the performance of
a non-trip test. External power is required to perform
a trip test. Refer to the next paragraph for external
power details.
Direct Breaker Connection
The first method for connecting the hand held program-
mer to the trip unit is by means of the 8 conductor cus-
tom phone cord provided with the programmer. One end
plugs into the front panel of the trip unit and the other
end into a custom phone jack port (HDR1) on the top of
the programmer. This direct connection is intended only
for use with the hand held programmer, and is normally
associated with the direct programming of individual trip
units (Figures 1-1, 2-2 and 2-6).
2-2.2 EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS
Three receptacles are provided on the top of the device,
one for an external power connection and two different
means for connecting the programmer to the trip unit
(Figure 2-2).
Network Connection
The second means for connecting the hand held pro-
grammer is through the 3-pin male connector (J2) locat-
ed on the top of the programmer. This connection is
made through an INCOM shielded twisted-pair. The
hand held programmer has an internal INCOM trans-
former permitting it to communicate over the network.
This is the method normally associated with network pro-
gramming (Figure 2-2). Auxiliary power to the OPTIMizer
is required to communicate over the INCOM network.
External Power Connection
Use external power to:
• Save internal battery power
• Perform trip test on circuit breaker
• Communicate over INCOM
External power is provided by connecting an Auxiliary
Power Module (Catalog Number PRTAAPM) to the
OPTIMizer through the 2-pin male receptacle. The
Auxiliary Power Module requires a 120 Vac 50/60 Hz
input and delivers a 32 Vdc 4 VA output (Figures 2-2
and 2-5). Note that OPTIM trip units with external
power connections (K, L and N) operate from a 24 Vdc
power source.
Notice: A direct connection will override an INCOM
connection. This will also signal a no response
alarm on other network devices.

2-3 OPERATOR PANEL
On/Off Pushbutton
The On/Off pushbutton turns the hand held programmer
on and off. To achieve power-up, the pushbutton must
be pushed and held for approximately one second. The
programmer cannot be turned off while Find Baud/Addr
is displayed. When the programmer is on, power is
delivered to the trip unit.
The operator panel provides a means to initially assign
addresses, select baud rates, configure trip units, dis-
play information, and perform testing (Figure 2-1). For
the purpose of familiarization, the panel is divided into
two sub-sections:
• Pushbuttons
• Display
Save Pushbutton
The Save pushbutton is used in conjunction with the
Select pushbutton to cause any programmer initiated
change to be saved to memory. The Save pushbutton
must be pressed and held followed by depression of the
Select pushbutton to accomplish the saving function.
Changes must be saved individually before moving to
another menu. This feature minimizes the possibility that
re-programming would be required if the programmer
turns itself off during the programming process.
2-3.1 PUSHBUTTONS
The operator panel contains eight membrane pushbut-
tons. Pushbuttons generally accomplish their function
when pressed and released. Variations in the use of a
particular pushbutton are detailed in the description for
that particular pushbutton. The pushbuttons are catego-
rized as follows:
• General Pushbuttons
2-3.3 VIEW FUNCTIONS PUSHBUTTONS
(Figure 2-8)
• View Functions Pushbuttons
• Edit Values Pushbuttons
Select Pushbutton
The Select pushbutton performs two functions. First, it is
used in conjunction with the Save pushbutton to save

changes to memory as previously described. In addition,
the Select pushbutton by itself causes the programmer to
select a particular category indicated by the blinking cur-
sor and move further into that particular selected menu.
<SA FI I D BA>
SELECT ADDRESS
Up-Arrow Pushbutton
The Up-Arrow pushbutton is used to move the blinking
cursor back to the first selection Select Address (SA)
when the programmer is displaying the top level menu
(Figure 2-9). It is similar to the Escape Key of a PC. If
the programmer is displaying a lower level menu, use of
this pushbutton moves the display back one menu level,
eventually ending at SA.
Figure 2-9 Top Level Main Menu Display
2-3.4 EDIT VALUES PUSHBUTTONS
(Figure 2-10)
Right-Arrow Pushbutton
The Right-Arrow pushbutton moves the blinking cursor
horizontally to the right in the display from category to
category. Continued use of this pushbutton will wrap
around and eventually return to the starting category.
Up Pushbutton
The Up pushbutton is used to edit already programmed
values and/or selections. Use of this pushbutton
increases the value and/or selection presently pro-
grammed. When this pushbutton is held depressed, the
displayed values scroll at a more rapid rate. Eventually,
the display will wrap around to the original starting point.
Left-Arrow Pushbutton
The Left-Arrow pushbutton performs the same function
as the previously described Right-Arrow pushbutton
except movement of the blinking cursor is horizontally to
the left.

sages. The brightness of the display can be adjusted
through the use of a small, recessed adjusting screw
located in the top side of the programmer (Figure 2-2).
Down Pushbutton
The Down pushbutton performs the same function as
the previously described Up pushbutton except move-
ment is in the opposite direction down through the val-
ues and/or selections.
The first line of the display is normally used to show the
main menu selection possibilities. A blinking cursor indi-
cates which category on the first line is active. The sec-
ond line of the display either defines the first line catego-
ry highlighted by the blinking cursor or, in lower level
menus, presents a field that is capable of being changed,
as indicated by a blinking cursor. Note in Figure 2-9 that
the blinking cursor is positioned just to the left of SA in
the top line of the display. Note also that the second dis-
play line defines that category as Select Address. Table
2.1 outlines all the displayed menu items that can be
encountered in the OPTIMizer display along with their
specific definitions. Figure 2-11 shows the twelve avail-
able options accessible from the main menu.
2-3.5 DISPLAY
Notice: This manual utilizes a gray rectangular box
underlined in black to represent a blinking
cursor in all illustrations of the programmer’s
display (Figure 2-9).
A 2-line, 16-character per line liquid crystal display is
used to display all trip unit data, setpoints and mes-

Section 2 prior to operating and using the hand held pro-
grammer.
Step 3: When a Direct Breaker Connection is being
made, plug either end of the custom phone
cord into the phone jack port on the top of the
programmer first, and then plug the other end
into the port provided on the trip unit. The con-
nections should be made before power is
applied. Refer to paragraph 2-2.2 for details on
a Direct Breaker Connection.
Notice: A direct breaker connection will override an
INCOM connection. This will also signal a no
response alarm on other network devices.
Clear the alarms when finished.
Familiarization with the information presented in Table
2.1 will prove helpful. Table 2.1 outlines the menu items
accessed from the top level menu (Figure 2-9). Menu
item definitions are provided in the user friendly display
with additional explanatory information provided in Table
2.1. In addition, an OPTIMizer Menu Diagram provides
an overall picture of the device’s capabilities (Figure 3-1).
This diagram is also shown on the OPTIMizer back
panel for quick and easy reference (Figure 2-4).
Step 4: If a Network Connection is being made using
an INCOM twisted-pair connection to the 3-pin
connector located on the top of the program-
mer, refer to paragraph 2-2.2 for details on a
Network Connection.
Step 5: No matter which connection approach is used,
be certain that all plug-in connections are
properly seated. This includes trip unit, exter-
nal power and INCOM connections to the pro-
grammer as well as connections from the pro-
grammer to the trip unit or INCOM.
Section 3 covers the operation and use of the OPTIMizer.
It is broken down into the following general categories:
• Getting Started
• Power Application
• Security Password
• Assign Address/Select Baud Rate
• Configure Trip Unit
• Displayed Information
• Test Trip Unit
The programmer is now ready to have power applied.
3-3 POWER APPLICATION
Turn the programmer on by holding the red On/Off
pushbutton in the depressed position for approximately
one second. Upon release of the pushbutton, the first
message will be displayed.
3-2 GETTING STARTED
The OPTIMizer Hand Held Programmer is a simple to
use device. Before applying power and using the
device, it is recommended that the following preliminary
steps be taken:
Three different types of messages can be displayed
before the top level menu appears (Figure 2-9). The
messages displayed will depend on the programmer
connection or lack of a proper connection as follows:
Step 1: If the programmer is to be operated by battery
power only, be sure that a fresh battery is
properly installed. Refer to paragraph 2-2.1 for
battery information.
• If the programmer detects the lack of a proper con-
nection, two consecutive messages will be displayed.
Figure 3-2 shows the first message displayed while
the programmer searches for a compatible device. If
the programmer is unable to make a connection,
Figure 3-3 shows the second message that appears
momentarily before the top level main menu is dis-
played (Figure 2-9).
Step 2: If power will be supplied by an Auxiliary Power
Module, be certain that the Auxiliary Power
Module is connected to the appropriate 120
Vac source and the OPTIMizer Hand Held
Programmer. Refer to paragraph 2-2.2 for
details on an external power connection.

baud rate and address message momentarily dis-
played once the trip unit is identified. The top level
main menu is ultimately displayed and the program-
mer is ready for use (Figure 2-9).
3-4.4 CHANGE BAUD/ADDR (BA)
The baud rate of the trip unit can be changed to that of
the system by using this menu item. The baud rate is
programmable to either 1200 or 9600 baud. All breakers
connected together on a line must communicate at the
same baud rate.
3-4 FUNCTION OVERVIEW
The address of a given breaker can be changed by
using this menu item. Valid addresses of 001-FFE
Hexadecimal (001 to 4094 decimal) can be used, how-
ever, when OPTIM trip units are connected to a Breaker
Interface Module (BIM) the range of usable addresses is
from 1-32 hexadecimal (1-50 Decimal).
3-4.1 SELECT ADDRESS (SA)
The Select Address menu item is used when it is
desired to communicate over the 3-pin INCOM connec-
tion to an OPTIM trip unit. The address of the breaker
you desire to communicate to is entered here. Note that
an auxiliary power module must be plugged into the
OPTIMizer for the OPTIMizer’s INCOM transceiver to
work. Selectable addresses are in the range 001-FFE
hexadecimal (001 to 4094 decimal).

rate or trip unit address, setpoints, run test mode, or
download copied setpoints, a correct password must be
used. The OPTIMizer’s factory default setting is 1000.
See section 3-5 for additional details.
Simulations of either a long delay, short delay, or
instantaneous fault condition can be performed by using
Test Mode. This can be done by first reading
the setpoints and noting their adjustment. The trip mode
menu item can then be selected and a current above
the noted settings can be entered. A trip or no trip test
can be performed. A test in progress may be terminated
if the currents through the breaker under test are above
40% of the rating plug value. See section 3-9.
3-4.10 TRIP EVENT COUNT (TC)
The trip unit records the number of times that the trip
unit has initiated a trip. This is displayed when the
Trip Event Count is selected.
3-4.8 SETPOINTS MENU (SE)
The trip unit can be adjusted for various time-current
characteristic curves. This is done within the Setpoints
Menu. See section 3-7, and Figure 3-1.
3-4.11 CAUSE OF TRIP (CT)
The OPTIMizer can display the cause of trip, similar
to the cause of trip LEDs of the trip unit, but in some
cases with more specific information. This information is
available as long as the trip unit Reset pushbutton has
not been pressed after a trip condition. For example, a
non-compliant rating plug may cause an instantaneous
trip to occur which will light the Instantaneous LED of
the trip unit. However, the OPTIMizer in this case
would display that the instantaneous trip is a result of
a Bad Plug.
Notice: 1) Short Delay and Instantaneous Action can
not be turned off at the same time.

Method 1: Proceed directly to Password (PA) in the
main menu to enter a valid password. Entry of a valid
password in this manner will apply to any procedure
requiring a valid password as long as the programmer
does not turn off. To initially enter a valid password, pro-
ceed with the following steps:
Notice: If the programmer automatically turns off or is
intentionally turned off, the procedure must be
repeated from the beginning. Use of an Auxiliary
Power Module will eliminate Auto-Power Down
and retain password while unit is on.
The Cause-of-Trip function may also be used in
conjunction with the Metered Values menu item. After
reading the cause of trip, the operator should enter the
Metered Values menu to read the last current that the
trip unit recorded before a trip was initiated. In this way
the type of trip as well as the magnitude of the current
on each phase is known. Pressing the Reset push-
button clears these values.
Step 1: With the programmer turned on and the main
menu displayed, use the Right-Arrow or Left-
Arrow pushbuttons to move the blinking cursor
to Password (PA) (Figure 3-6).

Step 4: The blinking cursor indicates which of the four
displayed zeros is active and able to be altered.
Use the Up or Down pushbuttons to change
the active number. Use the Right-Arrow or
Left-Arrow pushbuttons to move the cursor
from one digit to another.
The OPTIMizer Hand Held Programmer utilizes a pass-
word to restrict access to certain functional options. A
valid password is required to make changes or initiate
certain actions within the following main menu options:
• Change Baud/Address
• Test Mode
• Setpoints
• Password
• Download
Step 5: Once the password displayed is correct, hold
Save pushbutton depressed and depress
Select pushbutton. This simultaneous use of
the two pushbuttons will enter the password. If
the password entered is valid, Password

to initially establish the baud rates and unique address-
es of connected circuit breakers. Assigning or changing
circuit breaker addresses and/or baud rates takes place
within the same category of the main menu, Change
Baud/Addr (BA). Each circuit breaker must have a
unique address with all addresses containing three dig-
its. The three digit address will be in a HEXADECIMAL
Format with choices of 0 through 9 and A through F.
The two baud rate choices are 1200 or 9600, displayed
as 96B or 12B.
Step 4: The blinking cursor indicates which of the four
displayed zeros is active and able to be altered.
Use the Edit Values Up or Down pushbuttons
to change the active number. Use the Right-
Arrow or Left-Arrow pushbuttons to move the
cursor from one digit to another.
Step 5: Once the present password is displayed cor-
rectly, hold Save pushbutton depressed and
depress Select pushbutton. This simultaneous
use of the two pushbuttons will enter the pass-
word. If the password entered is valid, Pass-
word Accepted will be displayed (Figure 3-9).
If the password is not valid, a Password Error
message will be displayed momentarily and
the display will automatically return to the main
menu (Figure 3-10).
Notice: All circuit breakers are supplied from the facto-
ry with a 9600 baud rate “96B” and an address
of “FFE” (Hex Form) already programmed.
Keep in mind, however, when assigning
addresses, the Breaker Interface Module will
only recognize addresses at or below 32 HEX
(two digits).
Step 6: If the password entered in Step 5 was valid,
Password Accepted will continue to be dis-
played until the Up-Arrow pushbutton of View
Functions is pressed and released. When the
pushbutton is used, Password Change is dis-
played (Figure 3-11). This display permits the
entry of a new password.

3-9 TEST TRIP UNIT
Digitrip OPTIM 550, 750 and 1050 Trip Units contain a
test capability. One of the means for performing tests is
through the use of the OPTIMizer Hand Held Program-
mer. The intent is to permit the periodic performance of
tests that verify the functional performance of the trip
unit. Two types of testing are possible through the use
of the OPTIMizer Hand Held Programmer, the “No-Trip”
and the “Trip” tests.
grammer on. If the programmer is directly con-
nected to a trip unit, it will momentarily identify
the baud rate and address, and move to the
main menu (Figure 2-9). If the programmer is
INCOM connected, proceed with Steps 2, 3
and 4, otherwise move directly to Step 5.
Step 2: Once the main menu is displayed, use the
Select pushbutton to enter Select Address
(SA) which is active as indicated by the blinking
cursor. This network display provides a means
for selecting the three digit address of the circuit
breaker of interest within the network (Figure 3-
16). The blinking cursor indicates which of the
three digits is active and able to be changed.
No-Trip Test: This test can be performed using the
internal battery power of the programmer. It verifies that
the trip unit is performing under test within acceptable
limits of the programmed protective setpoints.
Trip Test: This test can only be performed using exter-
nal power supplied by an Auxiliary Power Module or by
auxiliary power supplied to the circuit breaker. The addi-
tional power is required to activate the breaker’s flux
transfer shunt trip. This test verifies the trip unit’s perfor-
mance, as well as the trip circuitry and mechanical oper-
ation of the circuit breaker.
Step 3: Use the Up or Down pushbuttons to change
the active digit. Use the Right-Arrow or Left-
Arrow pushbuttons to move the cursor from
one digit to another.
Step 4: Once the desired breaker address is displayed,
hold Save pushbutton depressed and depress
Select pushbutton. This simultaneous use of
the two pushbuttons will enter the address of
the circuit breaker in question, and the main
menu will be displayed.
Notice: Keep in mind that an Auxiliary Power Module is
required to perform a “Trip” test. Refer to para-
graph 2-2.2 for details on the use of an
Auxiliary Power Module.
Notice: Basic protection functions are not affected dur-
ing the performance of testing procedures.
Step 5: Use the Right-Arrow or Left-Arrow pushbut-
tons to move the cursor to Metered Values
(ME) in the main menu (Figure 3-22).
Proceed with the following steps to perform a “Trip” or a
“No-Trip” test:
Step 6: Use the Select pushbutton to enter Metered
Values (ME) and the first four metered values
are displayed with the blinking cursor indicating
that Phase A Current is active (Figure 3-23).
Step 1: With the programmer turned on and the main
menu displayed, use the Right-Arrow or Left-
Arrow pushbuttons to move the blinking cursor
to Test Mode (TM) (Figure 3-26).
Step 7: Use the Right-Arrow or Left-Arrow pushbut-
tons to move the blinking cursor to a metered
value of interest, Phase B current for example
(Figure 3-24).
Step 2: Use the Select pushbutton to enter the Test
Mode (TM). The blinking cursor indicates
which test category is active and able to be
selected (Figure 3-27).
Step 8: Use the Select pushbutton to choose the
metered value of interest and have the present
value displayed (Figure 3-25).
Step 3: Use the Right-Arrow or Left-Arrow pushbut-
tons, if required, to move the blinking cursor to
a different test category. Use the Select push-

button to choose a particular category, Phase
for example, and the next selections are dis-
played Trip or No Trip (Figure 3-28).
3-10.1 USING THE COPY COMMAND (CP)
Plug the OPTIMizer into the trip unit that the settings are
to be copied from. Move the cursor to the main menu
item CP. Press the Select key and wait while the
OPTIMizer reads the trip unit’s setpoints. The message
Accepted will be displayed if the copy was successfully
completed. The settings are now stored within the
OPTIMizer's memory and will be retained even after the
OPTIMizer is turned off.
Step 4: Once again, use the Right-Arrow or Left-
Arrow pushbuttons, if required, to move to a
different test category. Use the Select push-
button to choose a particular category, Trip for
example, and two different notices are momen-
tarily displayed before the next selection
appears (Figures 3-29 and 3-30).
Step 5: After the two momentary displays, the test cur-
rent screen is displayed permitting the selec-
tion of the desired test current (Figure 3-31).
3-10.2 USING THE DOWNLOAD COMMAND (DL)
Plug the OPTIMizer into the trip unit that the stored
settings are to be downloaded to. Enter the password
for the OPTIMizer within the password main menu item
PA. Move the cursor to the main menu item DL. Press
the Select key and wait while the OPTIMizer gets the
address of the trip unit and then downloads the
OPTIMizer's stored settings to the trip unit. If the
OPTIMizer’s password was not entered, the operator
will be required to first enter their password and then
reselect the Download menu item from the main menu.
The message Accepted will be displayed if the settings
were successfully downloaded.
Step 6: The blinking cursor indicates the selectable test
current field. The current initially displayed is
the minimum test current value. Use the Up or
Down pushbuttons to alter the current value.
Step 7: Once all the test parameters have been select-
ed, hold Save pushbutton depressed and
depress Select pushbutton to initiate the test.
When the test is completed, a cause of trip
message is displayed (Figure 3-32).
Step 8: Use the Up-Arrow pushbutton to return to the
Notice: The Copy /Download commands will not
change factory enabled functions such as
ground fault trip or alarm. When copying from a
trip unit with ground fault trip to a trip unit with
ground fault alarm, only the pick-up, slope, and
time adjustments are copied.
main menu.
Testing will not be permitted to proceed if there is
greater than 0.4 per unit of current flowing on a phase
circuit or 0.2 per unit of current on a ground circuit. The
maximum permitted current value can be determined by
multiplying the appropriate per unit value (0.4 or 0.2)
times the ampere rating of the installed rating plug.
Some breakers such as the DS will have setting limita-
tions based on the rating plug value. If settings are
downloaded which are not within the allowable limits of
the trip unit and rating plug, an error message will be
displayed. See I.L. 29C891 Table 3.3 for allowable set-
tings. This may also be the case for ground fault set-
tings in breakers above 1200 amps.
Notice: For currents less than the trip unit setpoint, no
message is displayed after the “Accepted
Message.” The trip unit will not be placed in a
Test Mode and, therefore, no pickup LEDs will
flash. The trip unit, however, must be reset.
The OPTIMizer will eventually return to the
main menu.
3-11 RESET TRIP UNIT (RE)
The trip unit status indicators are generally reset by
pressing the Reset pushbutton on the trip unit. In some
instances, such as when a motor operator is used with
on an OPTIM breaker, it may be desirable to use a
remote reset. The reset trip feature is used in this case.
3-10 COPY AND DOWNLOAD COMMANDS
The OPTIMizer can quickly download trip unit setpoints
from one breaker to other breakers in a system. The
per-unit values (not the current ampere values) are
copied from one breaker and downloaded to any other
breaker in the OPTIM family within a system. The set-
tings are permanently retained in the memory of the
OPTIMizer until another copy sequence replaces them.
