AKD-8— Kirk Key Interlock
The EntelliGuard R Retrofill circuit breakers (model 2 AKR-30/50/T50 and all 3200-5000A) provided as
replacements for AKR 800-5000A frame circuit breakers have a trip interlock feature which will function
using the AKD-8 compartment mounted Key Interlock. A label is provided with full instructions on how to
operate the Legacy Key Interlock. It is suggested to apply the label on the inside of the compartment
door. Following is a brief summary of how the Key Interlock system is operated.

1. OPEN the breaker.
2. Rotate the screw on the lower front panel of the breaker which normally allows access to the racking

elevating a pin on the left side of the breaker.
4. Turn the key to the key removal position, extending the bolt and locking the breaker in the OPEN position.
