Introduction

The Bell Alarm with Lockout prevents closing of the
breaker after a protection trip until the accessory is reset.
It contains a set of switch contacts to remotely indicate
that the circuit breaker has opened due to a protection
trip.

The catalog number for the Bell Alarm with Lockout kit
for 800–2000 ampere EntelliGuard breakers is
EGBLALMSFKIT. The kit includes the Bell Alarm
module, a universal mounting plate, and all necessary
hardware for installation.

Operation

The Bell Alarm with Lockout is activated and its status
circuit changes state whenever the EntelliGuard
Messenger™ trips the breaker due to an overcurrent,
ground fault, or protective relay function. A trip caused by
the manual

OPEN

button or the Shunt Trip does not

activate the Bell Alarm with Lockout. The EntelliGuard
Messenger continuously monitors the state of the status
circuit.

The Bell Alarm with Lockout can be reset by manually
depressing the target on the breaker escutcheon. This will
return the Bell Alarm with Lockout status contact to its
normal position and allow the breaker to be closed. The
connections of the Bell Alarm with Lockout to the
secondary disconnect are illustrated in Figure 1.

Note that the circuit breaker must be racked in to the
connected position, as indicated by the legend

CONN

on

the draw-out position indicator flag, for proper operation
of the lockout function of a Bell Alarm with Lockout.
