Installing the Trip Unit Mounting Bracket

The new ProTrip trip unit mounts to the left side of the
front channel. A mounting bracket is shock--mounted to a
plate that is assembled to the front channel.

ECS or SST Trip System

Remove the existing mounting plate and bracket. Install
the new mounting plate and bracket, using the holes
closest to the front of the breaker, as described in steps 2
and 3 above.

If the manual indicator assembly busing on AK-50
manual breakers interferes with the mounting bracket
installation, then the bracket must be modified. Cut off a
3/4 x 11/2 inch section from the right front of the plate to
provide clearance.
