connect up to 5 leads (see the Installation Instructions for the
MTR kit at www.dairyland.com). Continue to leave the ground-
ing jumper connected.
13. Since the isolation switch was previously placed in the OFF
position (i.e., switch open) in step 3, the lead to be reconnected
to the decoupler negative terminal in this step is not connected
to the pipeline so it can be installed by hand. Take the lead
that was connected to other isolation switch stud near the bot-
tom end of the pedestal cover, bend it over the top edge of the
pedestal base and form it so the terminal on this lead comes
straight up to the decoupler terminal as illustrated in the left
photo below. Apply Tef-Gel to the terminal pad that will be in
contact with the negative decoupler terminal. Use the hardware
that was removed from this decoupler terminal in an earlier step
and bolt these connections together tightening securely. After
this connection is completed, open the cover on the isolation
switch enclosure, pull out the switch mechanism, rotate 180°
and reinsert fully. The switch is now ON with the decoupler con-
nected to the pipeline.
14. Remove the grounding jumper because the pipeline is now
grounded through the decoupler and switch. As a precaution,
insulate the bolted splice joint done in step 12 with a materi-
al of the users choice to prevent this pipeline lead from being
touched whenever the pedestal cover is removed.
16. The pedestal cover can now be reinstalled over the pedestal
base as illustrated and the pedestal cover locked.
17. If the decoupler is to be left connected to the pipeline, no
further action is required because the pull out switch is already
ON (i.e., decoupler connected). If the decoupler is to be left
disconnected, then return the switch to its OFF position. Confirm
that the isolation switch is left in the desired position, then close
the isolation switch enclosure cover and lock. This completes
the installation instructions.
The isolation switch operating instructions are found inside
the enclosure cover. Read and follow these instructions. Cer-
tain steps recommend abruptly pulling out and reinserting the
switch mechanism and the reason for this is to minimize arcing
time on the switch contacts.
