FIGURE 7: Circuit Breaker Installation
1)
Shut off all power to the PFM and slide the LVBD switch on the front panel into the “MANUAL DISCONNECT” position
before proceeding. Remove the two flat head screws on either side of the breaker retaining plate and pull firmly
outward to remove it.
Note: The protective circuit breaker clear plastic toggle handle cover is not shown in the above diagram
.
Installation is optional. If it has already been installed, it is not necessary to remove the cover in order to remove the
retaining plate.
2)
Remove the plastic breaker hole plugs as necessary.
3)
Prior to installing circuit breakers, make note of the following:
The conductor for each breaker position runs straight through
to the rear of the PFM so that the breaker in Position 1 (as you face the front) is on the far left, and the Position 1 output
terminal (as you face the rear) is on the far right, and so on with each breaker/output terminal position reversed from front
to back.
4)
Install each circuit breaker into the PFM with “OFF” facing upward (toggle down) by lining up the push-in studs of the
breakers with the internal mating holes inside the breaker receptacle and pushing firmly into place. The two top auxiliary
contact terminals in the middle of the breaker should press against the mating clips. The bottom auxiliary contact is
unused in this installation.
5)
Ease the breaker retaining plate back into position over the breakers and onto the PFM. The holes in the retaining plate
are beveled to help adjust the breakers into position, but it may be necessary to retract the plate and nudge breakers
individually to achieve the necessary alignment.
6)
Replace the retaining plate mounting screws.
7)
Restore power to the PFM (if all other aspects of installation have been completed) and return the LVBD switch to the
“AUTO” position.
Circuit Breaker Finger Guard Cover, Labeling
Installation of the circuit breaker toggle handle finger guard cover is optional. Use the provided 6/32-1/4" screws and
spacer for mounting the cover onto the retaining plate. Blank labels are provided with the packaging to be placed on the
clear Finger Guard cover over each position for identifying each circuit function.
Note: 100 and 75 amp breakers may not be
installed side by side. There must be an open
space or a breaker rated at 50 amps or less
between them.
