No responsibility is assumed by Schneider Electric for any consequences arising out of the use of this material. A qualified person is one who has skills and knowledge related to the construction, installation, and operation of electrical equipment and has received safety training to recognize and avoid the hazards involved. Electrical equipment should be transported, stored, installed, and operated only in the environment for which it is designed.

Shipping and Storage Requirements

The equipment should be treated as if it is in storage until it is installed and operational. The storage area should be clean, dry (75% or less relative humidity), and climate controlled with proper ventilation.
To keep the equipment dry, the use of heaters is required in some cases (for example, during seasonal or low periods of electrical loading and equipment de-energization).
- Consult the Engineer of Record for the appropriate environmental control settings or means to mitigate environmental influences.

If so equipped, ensure that the thermostats and/or humidistats are set to mitigate condensation. A minimum of watts of heat per section is suggested, see table below.

Amperage Rating	Heat Wattage
30 to 200	5
400	25
600 to 800	50
1200	100

If heaters are being used with the equipment that were not included in the equipment by Schneider Electric, they must be clean and free of debris and grease. Greasy and/or smoky heaters can contaminate electrical insulation and lead to dielectric breakdown and/or tracking.
Shipping packaging is not suitable for and cannot be used by itself for equipment storage unless otherwise indicated on the shipping packaging labeling.
When receiving equipment, the equipment may be at a lower temperature than the ambient air temperature. Allow time for the equipment temperature, including the temperature of internal components, to rise to the ambient air temperature before making openings in or otherwise disturbing the packaging. Condensation can occur on and inside the equipment if warm air contacts cold surfaces of the equipment. Moisture damage can occur, destroying the dielectric capabilities of the equipment and rendering it unusable.
The factory shipping wrap around the equipment on shipping pallets is not suitable for non-enclosed over-the-road transportation that risks exposing the equipment to the elements. The factory shipping wrap around the equipment should remain on the equipment until the equipment is ready to be inspected and stored or inspected and installed. After receiving the equipment and allowing it to acclimate to the environment, remove the packaging and inspect the equipment for damage that may have occurred in transit. If damage is found or suspected, immediately file a claim with the carrier and notify your Schneider Electric representative.
Follow these guidelines every time the equipment is moved to a new storage location or to its final destination.

Installation and Operation Requirements

This equipment does not achieve its ratings until it is installed per record /as-built drawings, installed per the instructions contained in this document, and has operational environmental controls with appropriate settings to help mitigate environmental influences. This equipment can also be operated in a climate controlled area that uses both heating and cooling to maintain acceptable environmental conditions. Indoor and outdoor rated equipment is not suitable for outdoor storage. In some cases (such as seasonal electrical loading, de-energized equipment, and standby/alternate power sources), the heat generated by equipment loading is insufficient to prevent condensation and alternate heat sources are required. If environmental controls such as a thermostat or humidistat are used, ensure their settings are sufficient to mitigate condensation and remain operational at all times. Consult the Engineer of Record for the appropriate environmental control settings.

Proposition 65 Information

WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including Lead and Lead Compounds, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Seismic Certifications

Equipment Installation for Seismic Applications

Introduction
Seismic certification is an optional feature for Safety Switch products and provides seismic conformance options to any of the building codes and seismic design standards identified in the List of Supported Regional Building Codes and Seismic Design Standards, page 10. Safety Switches that are seismically certified have been certified to the seismic requirements of the listed code per the manufacturer’s Certificate of Compliance (CoC). Equipment compliance labels and CoC’s are provided with all seismically certified Safety Switches. Refer to the equipment CoC for certification details and applicable seismic parameters. To maintain the validity of this certification, the installation instructions provided in this section must be followed.

List of Supported Regional Building Codes and Seismic Design Standards

Country / Region	Code Reference ID	Code Name
Argentina	INPRES-CIRSOC103	Argentinean Standards for Earthquake Resistant

Responsibility for Mitigation of Seismic Damage
The Safety Switch equipment is considered a non-structural building component as defined by regional building codes and seismic design standards. Equipment capacity was determined from tri-axial seismic shake-table test results in accordance with the International Code Counsel Evaluation Service (ICC ES) Acceptance Criteria for Seismic Certification by Shake-Table Testing of Nonstructural Components (ICC-ES AC156). An equipment importance factor, Ip, that is greater than one (Ip > 1.0) is assumed and indicates that equipment functionality is required after a seismic event and after seismic simulation testing. This importance factor is applicable for designated seismic systems (i.e., special certification) servicing critical infrastructure and essential buildings where post-earthquake equipment functionality is a requirement. Incoming and outgoing bus, cable, and conduit must also be considered as related but independent systems. These distribution systems must be designed and restrained to withstand the forces generated by the seismic event without increasing the load transferred to the equipment. For applications where seismic hazard exists, it is preferred that bus, cable, and conduit enter and exit the bottom of the equipment enclosure. Seismic certification of nonstructural components and equipment by Schneider Electric is just one link in the total chain of responsibility required to maximize the probability that the equipment will be intact and functional after a seismic event. During a seismic event the equipment must be able to transfer the inertial loads that are created and reacted through the equipment’s force resisting system and anchorage to the load-bearing path of the building structural system or foundation. Anchorage of equipment (i.e., nonstructural supports and attachments) to the primary building structure or foundation is required to validate seismic conformance. The construction site structural engineer or engineer of record (EOR) or the registered design professional (RDP) is responsible for detailing the equipment anchorage requirements for the given installation. The installer and manufacturers of the anchorage system are responsible for assuring that the mounting requirements are met. Schneider Electric is not responsible for the specification and performance of equipment anchorage systems.

Tie-down Points for Rigid Wall Mounted Equipment
The equipment enclosure provides anchorage tie-down points to accept anchor attachments to the building structure or foundation. Indoor enclosures provide enclosure base frame clearance holes for bolted anchorage attachments, outdoor enclosures provide enclosure base frame clearance holes for bolted anchorage attachments please obtain drawings for actual locations. Equipment installations of single, stand-alone safety switches must be anchored using all enclosure tie-down points as shown on drawings for indoor and outdoor applications respectively. Equipment installations using welded supports and attachments in lieu of bolted supports and attachments must ensure the weld locations are distributed similarly to the locations of enclosure anchorage clearance holes. Welded supports and attachments must be properly sized to ensure the weldment withstand capacity exceeds the earthquake demand at location of equipment installation. Precautions shall be made to properly vent and shield the equipment enclosure during the field welding process. Schneider Electric is not responsible for equipment damage caused by field welded supports and attachments.

Anchorage Assembly Instructions
The bolted anchor assembly illustrates the equipment’s as-tested attachment to the seismic shake-table test fixture. The equipment seismic rated capacity, as stated on the Schneider Electric CoC, was achieved with the identified size and grade attachment hardware. Field installed equipment attachment and support detailing shall be in accordance with the anchorage system requirements as defined by the construction site Engineer of Record (EOR) or Registered Design Professional (RDP).

Removal of Knock Outs

Determine the size required.
Remove the smallest knockout first.
Go across from the spot weld and apply force to break the knock out loose. Then crimp the knock out and twist until removed.
Removal of the second knockout full ring.
Two spot welds located across from each other. Go 90° from each spot weld apply force to break each side loose. Then pinch the two sides together and apply rotating force until removed.
Removal of the knock out partial ring.
Go 90° from either spot weld and apply force to break the side loose. The partial side apply force on each partial part of knock out. Pinch the three pieces together and apply rotating force until removed.
Repeat step 3 and 4 until the knock out side requirements are obtained.

Conduit Entry

Drilling into enclosures for creating conduit entry locations may be required. Protect internal components from metal fillings, via drop cloths or orientation of drilling, to prevent foreign materials from contacting electrical connections points. An example of a connection point is lugs, blades, or fuse clips.
Locate conduit entries to comply with bending radius requirements for conductors.

Service Entry Requirements
USA and Mexico
Switches not factory bonded are shipped suitable for use as service equipment. Switches that are shipped from the factory with a bonded neutral are suitable only for use as service equipment. Enclosure must be grounded via the ground terminal. Devices require line side barriers. Devices need neutral kit installed. Bonding Screw must be driven into enclosure; bonding the insulated neutral to the enclosure. The enclosure must be ground using the ground terminal.

Canada
Switches that are shipped from the factory with a bonded insulted neutral are suitable for use as service equipment. The enclosure must be grounded using the ground terminal.
Devices require line side barriers.
NOTE: Canada factory bonded insulated neutral can be un-bonded and used for other applications other than the service entrance.

Maintenance

Introduction
Safety switches are properly lubricated at the factory. However, periodic cleaning and lubrication may be required. The maintenance interval between lubrications depends on the amount of switch usage and the ambient operating conditions. The maximum maintenance interval should not exceed one year for mechanical or current-carrying parts. For additional information, refer to publication NFPA-70B, “Standard for Electrical Equipment Maintenance”.

Unusual Performance Conditions
Contact Schneider Electric for information regarding performance under unusual conditions. Examples of unusual conditions are shown in table below:

Unusual Conditions

Ambient temperatures below -22°F (-30°C) or above 104°F (40°C)
Altitudes over 6600 ft (2012 m)
Corrosive or explosive environments
Abnormal vibration, shock, or tilting
Unusual operating duties

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E, CSA Z462 or NOM-029-STPS.
This equipment must only be installed and serviced by qualified electrical personnel.
Never operate energized switch with door open.
Turn off switch before removing or installing fuses or making load side connections.
Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device at all line and load fuse clips to confirm switch is off.
Turn off power supplying switch before doing any other work on or inside switch.
Do not use renewable link fuses in fused switches.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Annual Maintenance Procedures

Turn off power supplying the switch before performing any work on or inside the switch.
Open the switch blades by moving the operating handle to the OFF (O) position.
Lock out or tag the switch, per local procedures.
Open the enclosure door.
Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device at all line and load-side lugs (terminals) to confirm power is off.
NOTE: Do not remove any parts from the switch or operating mechanism unless specifically instructed to do so in the following procedures. Vacuum any loose material from inside the switch. Wipe internal parts and the inside of the enclosure with a damp, lint-free cloth.
Visually inspect the switch for loose parts or hardware:
- Retighten the hardware as needed. Refer to the wiring diagram for torque values.
- Do not re-energize the switch if any worn or damaged parts are found. Replace them before re-energizing the switch.

Parts Removal

Remove the arc suppressor(s) or arc shield(s) from the switches by loosening the fastener(s) holding the suppressor(s) / shield(s) in place. See the examples provided.
Remove old grease and other contaminants from the line-side jaws and switchblades with a clean, lint-free cloth. If the lubricant has dried, remove it with CRC® HF Contact Cleaner, or equivalent, sprayed on a cloth.
Lubricate the cleaned areas with a thin film of Dow Corning®BG20 grease only.
NOTE: Do not substitute any other lubricant. Other lubricants may not be suitable for electrical applications and could alter the performance of the switch. Dow Corning BG20 is available from Square D (part number SWLUB).
Exercise the operating mechanism to ensure proper operation by opening and closing the switch five times with the door closed. Open the switch blades.

CAUTION
HAZARD OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Do not disassemble the switch line base assembly or remove the blade rotor when cleaning the line-side jaw or the switch blade. See Figure 4, page 26, Examples of Line Base Assemblies.
