Section 1: General information
An auxiliary switch is an optional device providing
remote electrical indication if the circuit breaker is
open or closed. Up to three auxiliary switches can
be mounted in the circuit breaker. Each switch has
four normally open ("A") and four normally closed
("B") contacts for a total of 12 available change
over contacts.
Section 2: Installation of the
auxiliary switch
To install the auxiliary switch, proceed with the
following five steps:
Step 1: Remove the front cover by unscrewing the
hex head captive bolts (four for three-pole, six for
four-pole) that join the cover to the breaker hous-
ing using a 10 mm 1/4-inch drive socket. Then hold
the charge handle down approximately 45 degrees
to pull off the cover.
Step 2: Place the appropriate label on the
front cover nameplate space located under
"Accessories. "
