Closing the Switch

Close  the  switch  contacts  with  either  of  the  following 

methods: 

Depress  the  ON  button  on  the  front  of  the switch.

Energize  the  (optional)  Remote  Close  accessory
by

 

applying rated voltage to terminals  16  and  34  on

terminal

 

block  B.

CAUTION: 

The  main  switch  contacts cannot  be  closed  if 

the switch latch is held in the tripped position by any of the 
following conditions: 

The

 

Bell

 

Alarm

 

with

 

Lockout

 

was  not

reset

 

after a

 

ground fault lockout.

The

 

Undervoltage

 

Release

 

is

 

not

 

energized.

The

 

Shunt

 

Trip

 

with

 

Lockout

 

is

 

energized.

These conditions must be corrected before the switch can 
be closed. 

ATTENTION:

  Les  contacts  de  l'interrupteur  principal 

peuvent  être  fermés  où  le  loquet  de  l'interrupteur  est 
maintenu  en  position  déclenchée  à  cause  de  toute  des 
conditions suivantes: 

Si  la  réarmeture  du  déclencheur  n’est  pas
réalisée

 

après

 

le  verrouillage  en  position

“ouvert”

 

provenant

 

du courant

 

de surcharge.

Si  le  minimum  de  tension  (UVR)  n’est  pas
sous

 

tension.

Le  déclenchement  shunt  avec  blocage
est

 

actionné.

CAUTION: 

If the switch latch is held in the tripped position 

by any of the following conditions and an attempt is made 
to  close  the  main  switch  contacts,  the  mechanism  will 
“crash” (the closing springs discharge with no motion of the 
switch  contact arms).  The  switch  has  been  designed  and 
tested  to  withstand more  than  100  crash  operations, but 
repeated attempts to close a locked-out switch will damage 
the switch mechanism. 

The Key interlock or padlock is in the locked OFF
condition.

The draw-out interlock is engaged with the carriage
between the TEST and  CONNECTED positions.

The walking interlock beam interlock or mechanical
is activated.

ATTENTION:

  Si  le  cliquet  de  l'interrupteur  est  tenu  en 

position  de  déclenchement  dans  n’importe  quelle  des 
conditions  suivantes  et  que  l’on  tente  de  fermer  les 
contacts de l'interrupteur principal, le mécanisme subira un 
“crash” (les ressorts de  fermeture se  détendent sans  que 
les  bras  des  contacts  du  disjoncteur  ne  bougent). 
L'interrupteur a été conçu et testé pour résister à plus de 
100 opérations de  type “crash,” cependant des  tentatives 
répétées ayant pour but de fermer un interrupteur bloqué 
endommageront le mécanisme de l'interrupteur. 

Si le verrou de clé ou le cadenas est verrouillé en
position OFF.

Si le chariot du verrou débrochable est localisé entre
les positions TEST et CONNECTED.

L’enclenchement par support mobile ou
enclenchement mécanique est activé.

Ces conditions doivent être corrigées avant l'interrupteur 

peut être fermé.
