Product Description

The auxiliary and bell alarm switches covered by these instructions are illustrated in Figure 1. A key for the different symbols used in these instructions is found in Table 1. Catalog numbers for the various switch configurations are listed in Table 2.

Note that contact position for the auxiliary switch is shown with the breaker in the open position. Bell alarm contact position is shown with the breaker in the untripped position.

Mechanical-trip bell alarms are activated by the trip unit (overcurrent or short circuit), undervoltage release, shunt trip, or push-to-trip button. Overcurrent/shortcircuit trip bell alarms are activated by the trip unit on and are not available for FB and FC breakers.
