the  rating  plug value. 

5.4  Mode  of Conducting  Tests 

5.4.1  Control  Power 

I nsta l l  the  Auxi liary Power Module (Cat.  No.  PRTAAPM) to 
insu re control  power  is  available for testi ng. 

5.4.2  By Not Tripping  the  Breaker 

1 .  Should the circuit breaker be i n  the cel l "Connected" position 

and carrying load cu rrent, make s u re that the circuit breaker 
is carrying no more than 40% of the plug ampere rating O nl· 

2.  Place the test selector switch  in  one of the six "No Trip" test 

setti ngs,  i .e.,  1 ,  2, 3, 8,  1 0,  or  GF. 

3.  Depress the  "Test"  push button  and  release  it - the test  is 

i nitiated when the pushbutton  is released. 

4.  Should  any of the various  protection  settings be  less than 

the  selected  "No Trip"  test  value, then  the  LED  related  to 
that  fu nction  will turn  on  signifying  successfu l  comp letion 
of  the test action.  Note :  For  long  delay  tests  there  wi l l   be 
some  period  of  ti me  between  start  of test  and  LED  tu rn 
"ON". 

5.  Reset  the  trip  unit  by  depressing  and  releasing  the  "Trip 

Reset" push button. Al l  LEDs turned  "ON"  by the "No Trip" 
test action should turn  "OFF".

Note: 

The "Trip Reset" pushbutton  may be depressed 

at a ny time.  However,  s ho u l d  a  test i nitiated  via  the

5.4.3  By  Tripping  the  Breaker 

1 .  

Make sure that the  c i rcuit  breaker is  carryi ng  no  more than 

40% of the  plug am pere rating  On l· 

2.  Place  the  test  selector  switch  in  one of the two  "Trip"  test 

settings,  i .e., 6T or  G FT. 

3.  Depress  the  "Test"  pushbutton  and  release  it - the  test  is 

i nitiated when the pushbutton  is released. 

4.  Shou l d  any  of the  various  p rotection  settings  be  less than
