6800 Series Automatic Switch Control
For outdoor pole-mounted gear
Combines sophisticated automatic control schemes with remote terminal unit functionality, data logging, and advanced communication capabilities in one integrated package
6800 Series Automatic Switch Controls combine sophisticated automatic control schemes with RTU functionality, data logging, and advanced communication capabilities — in one integrated package.
6800 Series Controls manage distribution switches and can automatically sectionalize a feeder based on factors such as overcurrent, loss of voltage, and phase unbalance. A control can be ordered with, or upgraded to, the S&C IntelliTeam® SG Automatic Restoration System, which enables multiple switch controls to work together as teams, that use peer-to-peer communication, and quickly transfer load and minimize the number of customers affected by a fault or outage.

Communication Options
S&C offers a wide variety of communications hardware options and software protocols for our Switch Controls. Note that not all options are available with all configurations of Switch Controls. Check with your local S&C representative to discuss communications hardware and protocol availability for your specific application. The hardware options include:
- SpeedNet™ Radio
- MDS — Microwave Data Systems
- Fiber optic transceivers
- WiMax transceivers
- Other communication devices are available.
Radios and modems may be factory-mounted inside most controls to save on installation costs. Protocol options include DNP 3.0.
You can upgrade the protocols in the field using IntelliLink® Remote Setup Software, the Windows®-based program for interfacing with the control locally. This gives you a simple migration path to new protocol implementations.
