Page 25: Appendix
Page 16 of 17 Appendix Appendix Appendix A: Operating Mechanism Installation Manual and Motor Operated These switches are designed to be opened and closed as a three-phase unit by a system of pipes that translates the rotation movement of an operator on the ground - whether manual or motor - to simultaneous rotation of the end insulator of each switch pole. -
Page 26: Appendix B: General Installation Notes
Page 17 of 17 Appendix Appendix B: General Installation Notes When a switch uses an auxiliary switch arm, installation will be easier if this pole is adjusted before installing the interphase pipe. This will eliminate trying to coordinate and adjust all three poles at once. - Page 28 30 Georgia Avenue Hampton, Georgia 30228 Phone: 770-946-4562 Fax: 770-946-8106 E-mail: support@southernstatesllc.com http://www.southernstatesllc.com ©2020 Southern States IB-122-SSB-T SSB-A 72.5 Rev 2 06162020 Printed U.S.A.
