Section 1: General information
An overcurrent trip switch (bell alarm) provides an
electrical indication when a circuit breaker trips as
a result of the trip unit reacting to an overcurrent
condition. Opening as a result of a circuit breaker's
manual open button, shunt trip, or undervoltage
release does not cause the overcurrent trip switch
to operate.
A number of graphics in this instruction leaflet use

is handled in a similar fashion. Some components, such
as the trip unit, are not shown for clarity.
