Operation
ALWAYS connect the control cable to the actuator
BEFORE installing the Chicken Switch®.
4.1
Connecting the control cable:
1.
Align the arrow on the cable end with the top of
the receptacle.
2.
Push in and engage the threads on the coupling
nut and turn clockwise.
3.
After one or two turns of the coupling nut, push
in on the cable end. Repeat this until the
connector is fully seated.
4.
Use a similar technique of turn-stop-and-pull to
disengage the cable ends.
4.2
Sequence of Operation:
1.
The breaker can be charged before or after
installing the K20 actuator.
2.
Connect the control cable to the actuator and to
the hand-held controller.
3.
Position the actuator on the breaker by
completing the steps on the following pages.
4.
Ensure you are at a safe distance from the circuit
breaker that is to be operated.
5.
Turn the Power Switch on top of the hand-held
controller to the ON position. The amber LED
should illuminate indicating the unit is ready.
6.
When ready to operate the actuator, press and
HOLD the ENABLE button while depressing either
then TRIP or CLOSE button for the desired
operation. Both buttons must be held depressed
until the actuator had fully depressed the button.
7.
Release the ENABLE and TRIP or CLOSE buttons
and the actuator will retract.
4.3
Attaching and Removing the Actuator:
STEP #1
–
Before installing the actuator,
verify that the plungers are fully retracted
below the actuator frame surface. If
plungers are NOT fully retracted, DO NOT
install the actuator. Doing so could cause the
breaker to inadvertently trip or close.
