Installing the Rotating Switch Operator
STEP 13.
Connect the ac power line to the switch operator.
Verify neutral and
connect it to the neutral lug (see Figure 1 on page 8) and then connect the line to the
source side (bottom) of the 10-A ac line fuse holder.
CAUTION
The switch operator must be properly grounded. In addition to the typical reasons
for properly grounding electrical equipment, the electrical surge suppression and
power supply systems contain transient filtering that discharges to ground.
You must read and understand all applicable grounding codes and requirements
for your service area before installing this device.
Follow these steps to add ac power:
STEP 1.
Energize the ac power line into the switch operator enclosure.
STEP 2.
Insert the ac line fuse and turn on the dc breaker.
STEP 3.
Check the AC ON, BAT ON, and CHG ON LEDs on the Battery Charger/Control
I/O board.
When you insert the 10-A ac line fuse, the red AC ON LED should illumi-
nate. When you turn on the dc breaker, the BAT ON and CHG ON LEDs should
illuminate. (The Battery Charger/Control I/O board is on the left side of the
enclosure.)
If any of these LEDs do not illuminate, see Instruction Sheet 1045M-550,
“S&C 6801M Automatic Switch Operators:
Troubleshooting
.”
DANGER
The following procedure requires that the switch be fully bypassed or de-energized.
Operating an energized switch that is not bypassed will result in serious personal
injury or death, as well as damage to the switch.
Follow these steps to set the switch travel distance:
STEP 1.
The switch operator, switch, and operating pipe must already be installed on the
pole.
(a) The clamp on the universal joint should be tightened.
(b) The lower piercing screw should be loose. Loosen it if it’s tight; it will be tightened
later in the procedure. See Figure 7 on page 15.
STEP 2.
Decouple the operator from the switch so the switch can be operated by the
manual handle.
(a) Open the enclosure door.
(b) Remove the manual handle from the faceplate.
(c) When the handle is removed, the NOT READY LED will be lit continuously to
indicate operation is disabled.
(d) Close the enclosure door.
(e) Remove the handle pin from the decoupling mechanism. See Figure 13 on page
20.
(f) Insert the handle in the mechanism with the bend down.
(g) Re-insert the handle pin.
(h) Remove the coupling pin from the decoupling mechanism.
(i) Pull down on the manual handle so it is perpendicular to the drive pipe.
(j) Pull the lock wedge out of the coupling slot.
(k) Put the decoupler pin in the lower set of holes, behind the wedge. This holds the
wedge in the raised position to ensure it will not jam the mechanism during
manual operation.
