An S&C catalog drawing is located in a water-resistant envelope attached to the
wrapper around one of the insulating support columns. Study this drawing carefully and
check the bill of material to verify all parts are available. The Model 2020 Series 2000
Circuit-Switcher shipment should include the items shown in Figure 1 on page 10 and
Figure 2 on page 11.
Do not disassemble or modify the interrupters . The interrupters are pressurized at
75 PSIG . Serious personal injury can result .
Connect control power to the switch operator when storing it outdoors . The switch
operator is equipped with a space heater that must be energized during storage to
prevent condensation and corrosion within the operator enclosure .
If the circuit-switcher must be stored before installation, keep it in a clean, dry, and corro-
sion-free area to protect it from damage. Make sure each skid rests firmly on the ground
and is reasonably level.
Shoring under the skids may be necessary if the ground is uneven. If storing outdoors
or in a non-climate controlled area, connect control power to the space heater inside the
Series 2000 Switch Operator per the wiring diagram furnished. Inspect the circuit-switcher
regularly when storing for prolonged periods.
Complete and mail the circuit-switcher registration card (enclosed in a vinyl envelope
located inside the operator) after the circuit-switcher has been installed . The
information requested on this card is vital to ensure prompt notification should field
modifications be needed .
