Rating plug replacement

IF A RATING PLUG IS NOT INSTALLED IN THE TRIP
UNIT, THE TRIP UNIT WILL TRIP WHEN
ENERGIZED. ALSO REMEMBER THAT THE TRIP
UNIT'S RATING PLUG AND THE CIRCUIT
BREAKER'S CURRENT SENSORS MUST HAVE
MATCHING RATINGS.
To remove the rating plug from the trip unit, open the
small rating plug door located on the right side of the trip
unit (Figure 6-6). The trip unit's battery cavity is also
located behind this door. Use a 1/8" wide screwdriver to
remove the M4 screw holding the rating plug in position.
Pull the door to release the rating plug from the trip unit.
