RSA-180 Installation and Operation
2.0 Operation
1.
Ensure that the unit is properly installed on the circuit breaker as described in Section
1.0 and that the charge arm is in the “up” position firmly against the hard stop.
2.
Install the 3 pin twist style connector from the RSO-III onto the motor control box and
install the 4 pin threaded connector onto the CLOSE/TRIP solenoid pigtail.
ATTENTION!
Please ensure that all cables are clear of moving parts. Failure to do so could damage
cables and/or actuator.
3.
This RSA was tested on a fully maintained and functioning breaker within the CBS
ArcSafe® facility. During this testing the optimum settings for operating the breaker
were found and recorded on a placard located on the RSA. Please refer to these
settings when setting the “# Strokes”, “T1”, and “T2”. Once the timing is correctly set,
the unit is now fully operational and ready to use.
DANGER!
These settings may or may not apply to your breaker exactly as listed. These settings are
only a starting point for remote operations. If during the operation the desired effects are
not achieved, these settings may be adjusted.
4.
Power on the RSO-III.
ATTENTION!
Please ensure that either the batteries on the unit are fully charged or the unit is plugged
into AC power.
5.
Press the “CHARGE/CLOSE” button to actuate the charging arm the prescribed number
of times to charge the breaker.
DANGER!
There are 2 hard stops that prevent the charging handle linkage from over rotating.
These are not meant to make the applicable settings obsolete; they are in place to stop
the motion of the motor for small amounts of over-travel and may be adjusted to
achieve optimum results on the gear being operated. Please ensure the rotation of the
motor is fully operating the handle in both the “UP” and “DOWN” directions, adjust the
hard stops as necessary to achieve this result.
