Battery replacement / battery rack installation maintenance
  1. Isolate DC supply before working on battery connections.
  2. Install battery rack with hold-down, floor standing.
  3. Install battery with minimum 2200 amps capacity at -18 °C to 0 °C.
  4. Verify 24 volt negative ground connection.
Trip Unit Switch Adjustment operation

⚠ Wait a minimum of 15 minutes after circuit breaker trips before resetting to allow thermal imaging to reset completely to zero.

Tools: Wire seal MICROTUSEAL

  1. Open switch cover.
  2. Adjust the appropriate switches to desired values.
  3. Replace switch cover.
  4. Use wire seal MICROTUSEAL, if necessary, to provide tamper evidence.
