Use this tutorial for information on how to navigate and use the Banks window.
The purpose of the Banks window to manage the locations where devices are installed. Locations where devices are installed are called Banks, the names of the Banks all follow the same scheme and is determined by the location on the Cooperatives map.
Ex. RCL029173
RCL just calls out that it is a recloser Bank
029 is the Township number (it would just appear as 29 on the Map, some co-ops omit the 0 in front also)
17 is the Section number in the township
3 is the specific ID for that Bank, if a township-section has more then one device we use this to identify them. Even it is the first device in that map location always include a 1 at the end.
Ex. Substation Bank S17F2
S17 indicates that is installed on substation number 17
F2 indicates that this bank is for feeder 2, some co-ops number the feeders by direction they feed where north is typically 1 and then rotate counter clockwise so 2 would be East.
Make sure to follow the naming convention when making new Banks.

If you are looking for information on how to change statuses of devices, the way to do that is to move a device into a Bank and then back out of it into to the appropriate Status. See the above articles on moving devices in and out of Banks. |
