Connecting the 
Smart Interrupter

 

Always switch off the CP 

system before connecting 
and disconnecting the Smart 
Interrupter.

 

Before connecting 

the Smart Interrupter to 
the CP supply, measure 
the maximum CP voltage. 
Ensure that this voltage 
is below the Smart 
Interrupter’s peak limit 
before connecting it.
Peak voltages:  
DC 100VDC  
AC 70VAC (average or RMS).
Connection to CP voltages 
in excess of these limits 
may cause damage to the 
Smart Interrupter.

When connecting the Smart Interrupter to either the anode 
cable or to the structure cable ensure that the red clip is 
connected to the most positive connection point and the 
black clip to the most negative connection point. If the Smart 
Interrupter is connected the wrong way round it will indicate 
incorrect connection with a warning tone.

 

The Smart Interrupter must only be used by suitably 

trained personnel.

 

When connecting the external supply lead, always 

connect it to the anode wire before plugging it into the 
Smart Interrupter.
