• Accepts the existing communications connections for Serial TIA-232, TIA-485, Fiber Optic and IRIG-B
• Simplifies upgrading communications to optional true embedded Ethernet ports in the M-7679 R-PAC allowing for multi-user, multi-protocol access to the advanced metering, PQ and DFR information collected by the control
• Includes an on board smart 24 V battery charger with 12 V and 24 V outputs
• Can be manufactured to include a wide variety of radios, cell modems and other communication units or they can be user installed in the field

The M-2979 includes the capability to change out the Recloser Control and Cabinet as one component. The M‑2979 Recloser Control Cabinet and M-7679 R-PAC combination includes all the required interface connections and external communications capabilities that are necessary to replace an existing recloser control. The M-2979 Recloser Control Cabinet meets or exceeds NEMA 250, IEC 60529 and IEEE C37.60. Each M-2979 Recloser Cabinet can be configured with the optional support equipment to match the existing recloser control application and environment, or the cabinet can be supplied completely empty.
