Installing the Rotating Switch Operator
DECOUPLER
PIN
Figure 13. The rotational operator decoupling mechanism.
STEP 3.
Use the manual handle to place the switch in the
Closed
position. Note the
direction of rotation.
A rotating switch operator is factory set to operate clockwise from closed
to open as viewed from above. Operation can be configured to operate
counterclockwise when the switch requires it. Use the
Closed Direction
setpoint on the
Setup>General>Switch Operator
screen to configure opera-
tor rotation.
STEP 4.
Loosen the clamp on the universal joint that holds the decoupling pipe, so the
pipe rotates freely in the universal joint.
STEP 5.
Use the manual handle to move the decoupling pipe until one of the padlock
holes in the locking plate lines up with the padlock hole on the decoupling pipe.
The ideal position for the handle is approximately 45 degrees from the center of
the enclosure front. See Figure 14 on page 21.
STEP 6.
Tighten the clamp on the universal joint that holds the decoupling pipe. See
Figure 5 on page 14.
STEP 7.
Check the handle operation position by swinging the handle 90 degrees
clockwise and 90 degrees counterclockwise to open and close the switch. If the
decoupling mechanism hits either side of the back plate, the universal joint must
be readjusted so the 90-degree swing centers on the front side of the switch
operator.
STEP 8.
Tighten the lower piercing bolt on the universal joint into the decoupling pipe.
STEP 9.
Remove the handle and replace the handle pin in the handle bracket.
STEP 10.
Leave the operator decoupled from the switch.
STEP 11.
Open the enclosure door and store the manual handle on the faceplate. The
NOT READY LED will extinguish.
