Removing the Remote Close
Use the following procedure to remove the Remote Close
solenoid and circuit board for replacement, as illustrated
in Figure 55. If only the solenoid or circuit board is to be
replaced, it is not necessary to remove both components.
1. Carefully place the breaker on a suitable working
surface, resting on the primary disconnects, so that
the bottom of the breaker is accessible.
2. Disconnect the two Remote Close wires at terminals
9 and 18 of the secondary disconnect. Cut the wire
ties, as needed, so that the wires can be removed
with the Remote Close.
3. Remove the two screws, lock washers, and flat wash-
ers connecting the Remote Close module to the
breaker frame.
4. Remove the snap ring connecting the Remote Close
actuator to the pin on the charging mechanism and
remove the module.
5. The Remote Close solenoid or circuit board can
now be separately replaced on the module.
Installing the Remote Close
Use the following procedure to install the replacement
Remote Close, as illustrated in Figure 55. If this is a new
installation into a breaker that was not equipped at the
factory with a Remote Close, see the installation
instructions in DEH172, supplied with the Remote Close
kit. (The circuit breaker should be resting on the
secondary disconnects with the right pole opening spring
removed, as in the removal procedure above.)
1. Insert the connecting pin on the breaker closing
mechanism through the hole in the end of the
Remote Close actuator and secure with the snap
ring.
2. Line up the mounting holes in the Remote Close
module with the two tapped holes in the bottom of
the breaker frame. Insert a screw with lock washer
and flat washer into each hole and tighten.
3. Run the wires from the Remote Close module to the
secondary disconnect and connect the wires to
terminals 9 and 18. Attach the wires to the breaker
frame with wire ties as needed.
