24–600 Vac devices are rated for 50/60 Hz.
Peak inrush current is present for 2–6 ms after activation. This number is
provided so that fuses and supplies can be chosen appropriately.
Ratings for 480 Vac and 600 Vac devices are at the input of the upstream
transformer, included with the accessory and specified in GEH–6520,
which powers the device. For voltage and current ratings at the switch
terminal block, see SPUV120AC.

Release.
3-8 Motor Operator Mechanism
The Motor Operator Mechanism, shown in Figure 18,
provides a means of remotely or automatically charging
the springs that close the switch. Table 14 lists the catalog
numbers for the available Motor Operator Mechanism
models. For installation instructions see GEH-6281.

Remote Operation
The switch closing springs can be charged remotely by
shorting terminals 17 and 35 on the terminal block on the
right side of the switch, with a push button or similar
device, for a minimum of five seconds.
Automatic Operation
Connect terminals 17 and 35 on the terminal block on the
right side of the switch with a jumper wire. The Motor
Operator will automatically recharge the switch closing
springs whenever the switch closes.
CAUTION: Do not wire switches for both automatic
charge and automatic close.
ATTENTION: Ne pas câbler les interrupteurs pour tous
les deux l’armement automatique et la fermeture
automatique.
3-9 Remote Close
The Remote Close accessory, shown in Figure 19, provides
a means of remotely closing the switch after the springs
have been charged. Table 15 lists the catalog numbers for
the available models. For installation instructions see
GEH-6283.
Remote Operation
The switch can be closed remotely, provided that the
springs are charged, by applying the rated voltage to
terminals 16 and 34 on the terminal block on the right
side of the switch.
The Remote Close accessory is continuously rated and has
an anti-pump feature that prevents a motor-operated
switch from repeatedly closing into a fault. Closing control
voltage must be removed and reapplied for each switch
closure.
