Page 16: Preferred Switch Assembly Method
Page 12 of 26 Installation & Adjustment Procedures Preferred Switch Assembly Method: 1.3 When insulators are shipped installed on the switch and the switch has been adjusted at the factory, proceed to Mounting Switch on Structure 1. Set up bearing housing with clip angles installed at ground level. Make sure clip angles are level and secured so that the switch does not tip over when insulators are installed. - Page 17 Page 13 of 26 Installation & Adjustment Procedures 4. With male blade in closed position, adjust and level male blade plug to be centered over bearing housing. Use jacking bolts (Figure 3) to make these adjustments. Figure 3: Rotating Insulator Bearing Housing 5.
- Page 18 Page 14 of 26 Installation & Adjustment Procedures Figure 4: Blades Shown Fully Open 7. Adjustment of contact pressure – Rotate the blade assemblies into the closed position. The pressure adjusting bolt should be left loose so as not to apply any pressure during this first closing position.

Lay out all parts and check each one against the bill of materials on the Operating Mechanism Drawing (Op-Mech). 2. Use the Op-Mech Drawing to install mounting brackets, bearings, bushings, pipe clevises, manual operating device, Adjustable Arm, and other components - Figure 7 and Figure 8. - Page 21 Page 17 of 26 Installation & Adjustment Procedures Figure 7: Typical Operating Pipe Arrangement Figure 8: Typical Operating Arrangement 3. Tighten all setscrews to securely grip the pipe. Do not drive any screws through the pipe wall at this time.
- Page 22 Page 18 of 26 Installation & Adjustment Procedures 4. If furnished with a Counterweight, refer to the Grounding switch Unit Assembly and Figure 9 for installation details. Figure 9: Counterweight Assembled 5. After mounting all operating mechanism components, use any convenient means to match-mark all clevis connections, Adjustable Arm, and manual operator attachments to check for slippage during trial operations.

Page 23: Operating Mechanism Adjustment (Three Phase Installation)
Page 19 of 26 Installation & Adjustment Procedures Operating Mechanism Adjustment (Three Phase Installation) Position all Grounding Switch poles closed and all Disconnect Switch poles open. The Adjustable Arm setting on the Op-Mech Drawing is a calculated dimension. Adjust as required for exact setting. The Adjustable Arm radius is too short if the Grounding Switch does not open fully (Blade in horizontal position). - Page 24 Page 20 of 26 Installation & Adjustment Procedures • Re-tighten the Adjustable Arm and Clevis Clamping Bolts. • Test Operate. Re-adjust as necessary. All poles of the fully adjusted switch should close completely and operate together. Slight adjustment of the Hinge Assembly Clamping Bolts may be necessary to coordinate all three poles.

Page 26: Final Switch Adjustments (Tuning)
Page 22 of 26 Installation & Adjustment Procedures Final Switch Adjustments (Tuning) 1. The operating mechanism is intended to fully open and fully close the disconnect switch by rotating the vertical operating pipe about 180 using an operator (manual or electrical). - Page 27 Page 23 of 26 Installation & Adjustment Procedures 3.1. Worm gear operator (SEGO – Safety Enhanced Gear Operator) (Optional) 3.1.1. The weight of the vertical operating pipe should be supported by pipe collar by maintaining the 1/4”-3/8” gap. 3.1.2. When the switch is properly adjusted the operator handle should hang freely in both the open and closed positions to permit the use of the customer supplied padlock.

Page 29: Recommended Inspection Maintenance
Recommended Inspection Maintenance Recommended Inspection Maintenance Southern States’ disconnect switches are designed to operate with minimum maintenance. While disconnecting switches are not readily serviced at frequent intervals, periodic inspection is important for satisfactory operation and maximized overall life. Frequency of inspection and maintenance depends on the installation site, weather, atmospheric conditions, experience of operating personnel, and any special operation requirements. -
Page 30: Patrolling Inspection (6 Months)
Page 26 of 26 Recommended Inspection Maintenance Patrolling Inspection (6 Months) The patrolling inspection is a largely visual inspection on an energized unit in service. The frequency of the inspection is determined by the local conditions and policies of the owner of the equipment. Inspect the insulators for breaks, cracks, burns, or cement deterioration. - Page 32 30 Georgia Avenue Hampton, Georgia 30228 Phone: 770-946-4562 Fax: 770-946-8106 E-mail: support@southernstatesllc.com http://www.southernstatesllc.com ©2021 Southern States, LLC IB-132-CBL-T 72.5- R6 02182021 Printed U.S.A.
