3 — Receiving & Handling
Inspection
1. Inspect the packaging for obvious
shipping damage.
2. Open and thoroughly inspect the product
for hidden damage.
3. Note any damage on the “Bill of Lading”
prior to accepting the delivery.
4. Check the material nameplate against the
shipping list to ensure the correct material
has been received. In case of shortage
or incorrect material, immediately notify
your factory representative or customer
service.
NOTE: Documentation of visible
shipping damage can determine the
outcome of any damage claim. Notifying
the carrier of concealed damage within
15 days is essential to resolving or
minimizing unsettled claims. Immediately
file your claim and notify your factory
representative.
Unpacking
1. Locate the Hubbell USB Drive that is
enclosed with this manual. The USB
drive should be in the custody of the
personnel who will be responsible for the
programming of the recloser.
1. Carefully remove all items from the
packaging. Exercise caution and do not
drop the unit or strike the skirted end on
anything as this may damage the vacuum
interrupter or mechanism.
1. Refer to Figure 3-1 to familiarize yourself
with all components.
NOTE: When batteries are removed for
more than seven days, the time stamp
chip will stop keeping time. If time stamp
feature is required, the time stamp can
be reset before placing the recloser in
service. (See Section 7.)
Storage
If the recloser is not going to be put into service
immediately, re-pack all components in the
factory package to minimize storage damage
and to ensure good operating conditions in the
future. Hubbell Power Systems recommends
that the recloser be stored indoors or under
cover, off the ground, not subject to direct sun,
rain or snow.
If the storage area temperature exceeds
100°F, remove the batteries and store in a
cool, dry area.

Installing the Optional NonReclose Hookstick Adapter
The Non-Reclose (NR) Hookstick
Adapter Kit is an adapter that can
be attached to the NR handle on the
Versa-Tech Recloser to allow for easier
operation with a hookstick. The addition
of the adapter is not mandatory. The
same gentle pull action, as used with
the NR handle, is utilized for operation.
Figure 4-1 shows the NR Hookstick
Adapter Kit as packaged. Figure 4-2
shows the components.
Step 1: Pull the Non Reclose (NR)
handle to the down position.
Step 2: Take the NR Hookstick Adapter
and place it so that the NR handle is
positioned as shown in Figure 4-3.

Installation Options
VERSA-TECH® single-phase reclosers are designed for outdoor pole or
structure mounting and application on
overhead electrical distribution systems.
The energized recloser is insulated from
the pole/structure by a polymer insulator.
The VERSA-TECH® Single Phase Electronic Recloser is available in two basic
mounting configurations:
1. Pole/Structure mounting (see Fig. 4-1)
2. Crossarm mounting (see Fig. 4-2).
Refer to the catalog number of the unit. The
fourth (4th) character position indicates
the mounting arrangement, e.g., the "1" in
the seventh position of (PSC86)2X11XXX
indicates a Pole/ Structure mounting. A “2” in
this position indicates Crossarm mounting,
e.g., (PSC86)2X12XXX.
Figure 4-8 Bypass Arrangement
Figure 4-6 Pole/Structure Mounting
Hubbell Power Systems recommends the
use of a by-pass switch in parallel with the
recloser. This arrangement allows the unit to
be easily taken out of the circuit for service,
should the need arise. It also allows all
connections to be made without picking up
load current with the jumper connections
(see Fig. 4-3).
LIGHTNING ARRESTERS NOTE:
Hubbell Power Systems recommends
placing appropriately rated lightning
arresters as close as possible on both
the source and load sides of the recloser.
(Refer to Ohio Brass catalog.)

WARNING
Follow all appropriate OSHA and company
work rules in the installation of this equipment.
All clearances, cover-up and personal protective equipment must be used. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in damage to
equipment, personal injury or death.
!
CAUTION
The unit must be mounted horizontally as illustrated in this manual. Failure to mount in
this attitude may result in improper operation
of the interrupter.
!
WARNING
Do not store or lay the recloser in mud, snow or
water.
This could contaminate the insulation over the
interrupter leading to electrical flashover at the
system voltage.
A clean, dry storage environment is recommended.
!
CAUTION
Do not place the recloser in service until all settings have been programmed and verified.
Failure to comply can result in recloser
misoperation, equipment damage, and personal
injury.
Refer to sections 6 and 7 of this manual for control
programming and operation.
Installation Preparation
1. Program the unit with the desired
parameters as outlined in Section 6 of
this manual. Record the settings on the
supplied tag and attach the tag to the
operating handle for reference during
installation (Fig. 4-4).
2. Prior to installation, verify vacuum
interrupter integrity by applying 50/60 Hz
40kV AC across the open contacts for 60
seconds. (See Section 7.)
Complete this tag when unit is programmed and tie to the operating handle of the unit.

1. Refer to Figure 4-5 for assembly detail
and Table 2-1 for torque specifications.
• Assemble the insulator (1) to the
rectangular steel adapter plate (2)
using two 3/8" X 1" bolts and split lock
washers (3) as shown.
• Assemble the mounting bracket (4) to
the opposite end of the insulator (1)
using two 3/8" X 1" bolts, flat washers
and split lock washers (5) as shown.
• Attach the insulator/bracket/adapter
plate to the four threaded bosses on
the flat side of the body of the recloser
as shown. Use four ss 3/8" X 1-1/4"
bolts, flat washers and split lock
washers (6).
NOTE: Do not attach to the 4 threaded
holes on the top of the body. These
attachment holes are used only on the
crossarm mounting arrangement.
2. Determine the mounting location on the
pole. The pole mount uses 2 bolts, 5/8"
diameter on 12" centers.
3. Drill the appropriate holes through the
pole.

4. Install the bolt in the top hole.
NOTE: The head of the bolt must be on
the side of the pole where the recloser
will be mounted. Install the nut and
washers on the back side. Leave
approximately 2" of bolt exposed under
the head for the keyhole slot in the
mounting bracket.
5. Using a nylon sling, sling the unit as
shown in Figure 4-7.
CAUTION: Do not use a metal sling or
chain as this may damage the unit.
6. Using suitable means, lift the unit into
position.
CAUTION: Do not allow recloser to
impact or collide with pole or other
objects as it is lifted and installed.
7. Ensure the top bolt engages the small
portion of the “keyhole” slot.

Crossarm Mounting
This configuration is intended for application
to a double crossarm structure.
This is the preferred arrangement if three
units are to be mounted.
1. Remove the four 3/8" X 5/8" bolts from top
mounting flange (8) and use to fill the four
holes on the cover (9).
2. Refer to Figure 4-8 for assembly detail
and Table 2-1 for torque specifications.
• Orient the insulator (1) so the skirts
will shed water towards the rectangular
steel adapter plate (2) and assemble
using two 3/8" X 1" bolts and split lock
washers (3) as shown.
• Assemble the mounting bracket (4)
to the opposite end of the insulator
(1) using two 3/8" X 1" bolts, split lock
washers and flat washers (5) as shown.
• Attach the insulator/bracket/adapter
plate to the four threaded bosses on
the top of the body of the recloser as
shown. Use four ss 3/8" X 1-1/4" bolts,
flat washers and lock washers (6).
3. Using a nylon sling, sling the unit as
shown in Figure 4-7.

4. Using suitable means, lift the unit into
position.
5. Install the back plate (7), and four 3/8"
X 7-1/2" carriage bolts/lock washers/
and square nuts. Adjust the bolt
spacing as necessary to fit the crossarm
arrangement.
6. Tighten the hardware per Table 2-1.
NOTE: Make sure the terminal L brackets
(2-hole NEMA pads) are not bent in any
angle. Terminal L bracket nuts, sixteen
screws around the recloser and six screws
around the vacuum interrupter are not to be
removed or re torqued by any means. The
integrity of the contacts is compromised if the
above factory standard torqued hardware is
tampered.
