Emergency Manual Operation
STEP 26.
Scada-Mate SD Switches are capable of manual
interrupter operation. In the event of electrical
power loss, a standard or extendible hookstick is
used to open and close the interrupters. If the
spring is fully discharged, pull on the operating
mechanism pull-ring with the hookstick seven to
nine times to effect a change of state. If the spring
is partially charged, a single pull will change the
interrupter position. See Figure 20.
