Installing SIPOD into the panel
1. Disconnect and lock off all power
sources supplying this panel.
2. Remove the P1 Panel trim and
deadfront.
3. Verify that the circuit breaker is a
Siemens Type BQD rated 15, 20, 25
or 30 amps. Type and rating information
is located on the circuit breaker label.
4. Move the breaker handle to the
"OFF" position.
5. Be sure the terminal screw of the
circuit breaker is loosened. Never
completely loosen the screw such that
it falls out of the lug. If a load wire is
present, remove it from the circuit
breaker terminal (a SIPOD and wire
cannot and should not be installed in
the same terminal).
6. Engage the SIPOD tang with the BQD
breaker load lug as shown in Figures
6.18 and 6.19. Ensure that the SIPOD
tang engages into the breaker terminal.
7. Tighten the BQD terminal screw to the
torque requirements found on the
circuit breaker labeling to ensure a
proper electrical connection.
8. Insert the SIPOD data wire connector
into the respective data rail connector
as shown in Figure 6.20. The SIPOD
data wire connector is equipped with
a keying/polarized feature, which means
it can only be installed in the correct
orientation.
