3-9 Remote Close
The Remote Close accessory, shown in Figure 19, provides
a means of remotely closing the switch after the springs
have been charged. Table 15 lists the catalog numbers for
the available models. For installation instructions see
GEH6283.
Remote Operation
The switch can be closed remotely, provided that the
springs are charged, by applying the rated voltage to
terminals 16 and 34 on the terminal block on the right side
of the switch.
The Remote Close accessory is continuously rated and has
an anti-pump feature that prevents a motor-operated
switch from repeatedly closing into a fault. Closing
control voltage must be removed and reapplied for
each switch closure.
