Ensure ALL electrical power supplies are "OFF” before
installing or removing any devices. The breaker, trip
unit or accessories, MUST ONLY be installed and
serviced by QUALIFIED personnel, see NEM
publication AB4.
Avertissement: Danger contre les risques
d'électrocutions. S'assurer avant toutes manipulations

tep 1, Unpack and inspect
Unpack the breaker and inspect it for any
shipping damage. Ensure the breaker has the
proper ampere, voltage and interrupting
ratings for the application. Next, using the
instructions supplied with the rating plug,
install the plug into the main breaker body.
Available rating plugs along with catalog
numbers are listed in Table 2 and shown in
Figure1, (see color-coding). Now install the
accessories (Step 9) and terminal lugs ( Step
3) using supplied installation instructions.
Check all accessories for proper voltage
ratings, installation, wiring routing and
operation. Attach appropriate labels to side o
the breaker if internal accessories have been
installed.
Step 2, Installation
Using Figure 2, drill and tap all mounting
holes and make any necessary front panel
escutcheon cut outs. Using the breake
hardware kit, FEMSK1 - which includes fou
#10-32 x 2-7/8in screws and lock washers o
FEMSK3 - which includes four #8-32 x 27/8in screws and lock washers, mount the
breaker.
Torque #8-32 screws to 20 lb-in (2.25Nm)
and the #10- 32 screws to 32 lb-in (3.6Nm).

Check to make sure all terminals are torqued to
the proper value. Reinstall the terminal (IP20)
covers insuring that they are firmly seated, see
figure 5.

Warning: Danger! It is important that the
terminal covers be installed correctly to ensure
proper circuit breaker operation, see figure 5.

Step 4, Adjustments
SMR1 digital RMS trip unit: Features a fixed
instantaneous trip function and an adjustable trip
function Im, which can shorten the trip time to
approximately 100ms, for over current above 2x
to 13x. To set the Im value, using switch dial,
select a specific value of St. See figure 3. The St
set point value is a multiple of the installed rating
plug - rated current (Ir),
Im = St x Ir.
Step 5, Circuit breaker performance and
operation
The breaker contact status is indicated by the
handle position, and the positions are marked on
either side of the handle escutcheon, clearly
showing the status of the breaker contacts. ON
and/or I indicate breaker is ON and OFF and/or O
indicate breaker is OFF.
The breaker tripped position
is indicated by the symbol.
To close the breaker from the OFF position moves
the handle to the ON position. To close the
breaker from the trip position, first move the
handle fully to the OFF (reset) position then to the
ON position. See Figure 6.
A Push-To-Trip button is provided for convenience
of testing the mechanical trip operation of the
breaker.
The Push-To-Trip should be tested annually.
Caution: Automatic tripping of the circuit breake
may indicate a system problem. Identify and
correct any problem before turning the device on
again.
Important: Le declenchement automatique de
disjoncteru, peut indiquer un probleme de circuit.
Identifiez et corrigez le probleme avant de
refermer l'appareil.

tep 6, Troubleshooting:
Ensure that breaker is installed correctly and all
terminal connections are torqued pe
instructions.
If the breaker fails to close, check:
1. For overloads and short circuit on the system.
2. Handle position - TRIPPED - reset by moving
handle fully to OFF position and then to the
ON position, see figure 6.
3. Under voltage trip is supplied with rated
voltage.
4. Shunt trip is de-energized and no trip signal
exists.
5. Breaker trip unit settings are properly
adjusted.
If technical assistance is required, contact you
local sales office. In the US call GE Post Sales
Customer Service, 1 888 437 3765.
Step 7, Maintenance:
Generally, no maintenance is required but it is
recommended that the breaker be cleaned and
inspected on an annual basis.
Warning: Danger of electrical shock or injury.
Turn off power supplies ahead of equipment
before attempting to service or accessories.
Important: Danger d’electrocution. Coupe
l’alimenation avant d’effectuer toute action
d’entretien.
Operate the breaker push to test button and
toggle the handle several times, testing the
mechanical operation of the device. If there are
any signs of damage or if the mechanism is
sluggish or sticky, replace the breaker.
For abnormal or heavy duty conditions refer to
NEMA publication AB4 and recommended
practices of NFPA70B.
Step 8, Storage:
Store in a dry, dust free, environment protected
from corrosion. Long-term storage should be in
the original shipping carton. Temperature range
o
–40
C to +40oC.
Step 9, Accessories:
For full details of the accessories and their
application, contact your local GE
representatives. When installing accessories
read
the accompanying accessory installation
instruction and follow carefully all cautions and
warnings.
These instructions do not cover all details or variations in equipment nor do they provide fo
every possible contingency that may be met in connection with installation, operation, o
maintenance. Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise that are
not covered sufficiently for the purchaser’s purposes, the matter should be referred to the GE
g
Company. The circuit breaker is a sealed unit, which contains no user serviceable parts.
Tampering with seal will void warrant.
