6 OPERATION
This section describes how to operate the circuit breaker panel. Operation includes connecting
new equipment and using the Reset Switch.
6.1 Connecting New Equipment
New equipment may be connected to unused output power circuits following installation and
testing of the circuit breaker panel. Use the following procedure for connecting the output
power wires for new equipment to a previously installed panel:
1. Remove the large protective cover from the rear side of the panel.
2. Turn off the circuit breaker for the circuit to which equipment will be added.
3. Connect the output power wiring to the power output terminals. Wire leads should be
equipped with crimp-on spade lugs or ring connectors that have a minimum width of 0.32
inches (81.3 mm). The terminals also accommodate copper wire without lugs (insulation
stripped back). The terminals can accept a variety of wire sizes up to #12 AWG with
crimp-on spade lug or ring connectors or wires in sizes from #12 AWG to #22 AWG with
insulation stripped back. In selecting wire size, follow local code referring to the ampacity
guidelines provided in
Appendix A .
4. Re-install the protective cover over the output power terminal blocks.
5. Switch the circuit breaker to the on position and verify that the breaker alarm indicator
turns off.
Warning: The circuit breaker panel uses electrical voltage and current levels that may be
considered an energy hazard. Only qualified personnel should be allowed to install, operate,
maintain, or otherwise come into contact with this equipment when energized. Only insulated
tools should be used on energized elements of the panel.
Caution: Use care to avoid shorting out adjacent terminals when connecting new output power
wiring to a powered circuit breaker panel. Shorting can cause injury and damage the panel or
the connected equipment.
