---CAUTION----
Pigtail connections, to the control
cabinet and Smart Breaker, can only fit
one way. Only minor pressure is
required for the connection. DO NOT
force the connection. If the connection
is not made with minor pressure,
rotate the pigtail connector 180
degrees and reapply. Forcing the
connection may cause damage to the
unit and void any existing warranty.

2-7 SMART BREAKER CONNECTION TO
BTB
The JCI100 can control GHBS, BABR,
BABRS, & GHQRS Smart Breakers. To
connect to the BTB a pigtail extends from the
Smart Breaker with a specialized connector
at one end, which is suited to connect to the
BTB (See Figure 4-4.1). Three points must
be noted about the pigtail and connection to
the BTB.
1. The pigtail of the BABR, BABRS, &
GHQRS is integral to the Smart Breaker.
2. The pigtail of the GHBS is a separate
component. One end of the GHBS pigtail
contains a connector suited to connect
to the Smart Breaker. The opposing end
contains a connector suited to connect
to the BTB.
3. Double-pole Smart Breakers have a
joined pigtail meaning that there is only
one connector. This means that a
double-pole Smart Breaker will only
occupy one position on a BTB. Though
the double-pole Smart Breaker will
occupy two positions on the panel
schedule, it will only be controlled by one
point on the BTB. This is important to
note when diagnosing problems.
---CAUTION----
Pigtail connections, to the BTB or
Smart Breaker, can only fit one way.
Only minor pressure is required for
the connection. DO NOT force the
connection. If the connection is not
made with minor pressure, rotate the
pigtail connector 180 degrees and
reapply. Forcing the connection may
cause damage to the unit and void any
existing warranty.
2-8 CONTROL CABINET
The control cabinet (See Figure 2-8) is used
primarily to retrofit a facility with the abilities
of the JCI100. However, the control cabinet
may also be used if several Smart Breakers
need to be controlled in multiple panels and
the amount of control needed between the
multiple panels does not exceed the
capability of a single JCI100. Because the
Control cabinet uses many of the same parts
as the 5X Control Chassis, there is little
discussion of the control cabinet in this
document.
Figure 2-8 Control Cabinet
2-8-1 SMART BREAKER CONNECTION IN A
CONTROL CABINET
As previously mentioned neither BTB’s nor a
RIB are used when a JCI100 is placed in a
control cabinet. This is due to the fact that
the Control Cabinet integrates the functions
of a BTB and RIB. Each control cabinet
contains a large printed circuit board (known
as a Relay Termination Board or RTB) with
connection points along both sides num-
bered identical to a panel schedule (See
Figure 2-8-1.1). From each of these points a
pigtail can be run to the panels containing
Smart Breakers. Like the Smart Breaker
pigtails, the control cabinet pigtail has a
connection on one end designed for the
points in the control cabinet. The connection
on the opposing end is a connector suited
for the Smart Breaker. The pigtail itself can
come a variety of lengths, but may not
exceed 150-feet. From the control cabinet
the pigtail must be run to the panelboard
containing Smart Breakers per NEC
regulations.
