Connection designations for auxiliary switches (NC and NO)
If the circuit breakers are supplied from the factory with integral auxiliary switches, these are
designated in accordance with the operating instructions.
The compartments (cutouts) in each circuit breaker (behind the front cover) for installing
accessories are designated X1, X2 and X4. The terminals of the installed accessories are
numbered consecutively. The contacts remain as designated in the catalog.
The contact designations on the auxiliary (HS) and alarm switches (AS) are replaced by the
