Installing the Trip Unit Wiring Harness 

CAUTION

: Pins in the connectors may come loose in 

shipping. Check all wiring harness connectors to ensure that 
the pins are tight. Reseat pins as necessary. 

Use the following procedure to install the trip unit wiring 
harness to the mounting plate. 

 

1.

  The wiring harness includes a 36-pin connector, shown in 

Figure 9, that must be assembled and installed onto the trip 
unit mounting plate before the trip unit can be installed. 

CAUTION:

 The adapter bracket must be installed onto the 

trip unit 36-pin connector and trip unit mounting plate as 
described below. Failure to do so will result in harness plug 
failure and the trip unit will not provide protection. If the 
converted breaker is energized or primary injected with the 
mounting plate not installed or installed improperly, damage 
will result to the trip unit, wire harness, 36-pin connector, and 
current sensors. Failure to adhere to these instructions will 
void all warranties. 

 

2.

  Slide the adapter bracket onto the 36-pin connector, as 

shown in Figure 10. Be sure that the beveled corners of the 
trip unit connector are facing toward the right side, the 
adapter bracket slides are in place behind the notches on 

either side of the connector body, and the connector’s tabs 
align with the notches on the bottom of the adapter bracket. 

 

3.

  Hold the adapter bracket tight to the trip unit connector and 

bend the two locking tabs on the adapter bracket over the 
connector body, as shown in Figure 11.
