A remote switch operator is the power and control console for service personnel to remotely charge, close, and trip circuit breakers from a safe distance using a CBS ArcSafe® RSA. The RSO can be used in conjunction with the CBS ArcSafe® remote racking system for complete charge, close, trip, and racking operations or independently as a stand-alone device for use with a remote racking system.

DANGER! *Ensure that switchgear is properly maintained and in good working order before using the RRS-2 on your switchgear. Contact your local group CBS service provider at www.gcbs.com to assist in proper care and maintenance for your switchgear. P.O. Box 550...
(Fig. 3) designed to quickly secure the cubicle brace and the RRS-2 to the cubicle. Tooling (Fig. 1.5) – The RRS-2 tooling is custom built for every breaker and allows for the RRS-2 to attach to a variety of breakers simply by swapping out the tooling. Typically, the main actuator racks the circuit breaker while the secondary actuator depresses the circuit breaker interlocks although this may differ depending on the breaker and switchgear being repositioned.

The stabilizers help to prevent the RRS-2 from tilting backwards during operation. Stair Climber Rails *optional (Fig. 1.3) – The stair climbers allow for the RRS-2 to easily be moved up/down stairs and in/out of vehicles. Pneumatic Tires *optional (Fig. 1.4) – The RRS-2 may be equipped with optional pneumatic tires in order for the RRS-2 to easily travel over gravel or other rough surfaces.

They both use an internal clutch to limit force available to prevent over racking. The actuator attaches to the RRS-2 via the slide rail, and can easily be repositioned with the lever locks (Fig. 2-4). Secondary Actuator (Fig. 1.5) – The secondary actuator is generally used on the circuit breakers interlocks and supplies the driving force needed to engage circuit breaker interlock devices which are normally actuated manually by the operator.
Lights Control Switch (Fig. 2.1.2) *optional – The light control switch operates the optional CBS ArcSafe® LED lighting system that is attached to the RRS-2. Please remember to turn the lights off when not in use.
3.1 Set up Training Included with your purchase of the RRS-2 is 4 hours of training from either a CBS ArcSafe® equipment representative or an approved CBS ArcSafe® outside representative. Please call CBS ArcSafe® at (940) 382-4411 to set up this FREE training seminar for your service personnel prior to ANY operations.
3.2 Unpacking the RRS-2 The RRS-2 is placed in a protected condition to allow the unit to be shipped more efficiently and to prevent damage from occurring. Perform the following steps to unpack the RRS-2 and prepare it for operation.
1. Rotate the power switch to the OFF position if not using the RRS-2. ATTENTION It is perfectly safe to charge the RRS-2 during operations, however if you leave the unit on while storing it the unit will pull unnecessary electricity from the outlet.
1. Ensure the RRS-2 is charged and/or the unit is plugged in to an AC power source. 2. Ensure the breaker being racked is OPEN according to manufacturer specifications.
RRS-2 is in operation. If the down button is not pressed than the CCM will display the present amount of current being drawn.

4.0 Operation This section describes the steps necessary to install and remove the circuit breaker using the RRS-2. 4.1 Circuit Breaker Installation These are the following requirements and steps for circuit breaker installation using the RRS-2. 4.1.1 Requirements for Installation The following installation procedure assumes that the following prerequisites have been met: 1.
5. Ensure the emergency stop push button is deactivated by turning the button clockwise to unlatch. 6. Use the pendant station as discussed in the given RRS-2 tooling guide. If the pendant retractile cord is not long enough for the operator to leave the arc...
5.3 After Use After use, clean the RRS-2 ensuring the power supply vents are free of dust and debris. Ensure the unit is free of oil or grease and if necessary, clean with a dry cloth. Store the device covered with either the standard dust cover or the waterproof cover (optional), in a clean, dry location to prevent damage.
High Lift – The high lift system, when installed allows for the RRS-2 to rack/unrack breakers that are up to 90” high, although depending on the application needs some high lift systems are built higher. LED Light – The LED light system attaches a light to the front of the RRS-2 in order to account for low light conditions.
Faulty batteries or charger. Replace faulty equipment. Contact your CBS ArcSafe® Technical Sales/ Support Agent to obtain replacement parts. The RRS-2 has been stored in Contact your CBS ArcSafe® freezing temperatures. Technical Sales/ Support Agent for solutions. The batteries have aged from Replace the system batteries.
LCD power cable into AC power. Power on the camera. The camera is located on the CBS ArcSafe® Remote Racking System; the camera is powered on by turning the ‘CAMERA’ switch located on the Remote Racking Unit Control Panel clockwise to the ON position.
The radio remote pendant station is designed specifically for the system that it came with. The radio remote will NOT work with any other CBS ArcSafe® Remote System, therefore please keep the radio remote with the system that it came with. Also to limit interference please ensure that the channel numbers of units purchased at different dates differ.
