Section 1: General information

Cassette safety shutters are insulating-type shutters tested for IP20 protection. They operate automatically to cover a cassette’s fixed primary contacts when the breaker is not in the CONNECT position ( Figure 1 ). Provisions are provided for padlocking the shutters in the CLOSED position.

Figure 1. Drawout Cassette (Front View Closeup, Shutters Open)
A complete draw-out cassette shutter installation is comprised of two duplicate, already assembled, shutter assemblies (Figure 2). Become familiar with the shutter assemblies provided.

Figure 2. Shutter Assemblies
The two interchangeable shutter assemblies are installed in the rear backplane (Figure 3). The backplane without its fixed primary contacts installed is shown here removed from its cassette for clarification purposes only. Become familiar with the cassette’s rear backplane.

Section 2: Installation of cassette safety shutter
This installation procedure will cover a three-pole installation.
A four-pole installation is done in a similar fashion. Proceed with the following two steps for a three-pole installation:

Step 1: Installation of the individual shutter assemblies is in an OPEN position. To open an individual shutter assembly, place it flat down on a solid surface with the padlock hole facing away from you. Push down simultaneously and to the left on two small retainer tabs with two thumbs. Once the two tabs disengage from the rear of the shutter panel, the panel can be pushed down into the OPEN position. This OPEN position should be maintained until the assembly is installed in the backplane.

Figure 4. Step 1
Step 2: Note two mounting tabs located on the shutter assembly opposite the padlock hole and the shutter retainers on the opposite side (Figure 2). It doesn’t matter which shutter assembly is installed first, as long as the padlock hole is positioned toward the center of the backplane.
Insert either shutter assembly held in the OPEN position from Step 1 at an angle as shown so the mounting tab engages a small pocket in the backplane. Complete the installation by pushing down on the other end of the shutter assembly until the shutter retainer tabs engage the backplane center divider, which is indicated by a click (Figure 3).  Once both ends of a shutter assembly are engaged, test for a secure installation by gently tugging on the shutter assembly to ensure the proper engagement.
An installed shutter assembly will automatically return to the CLOSED position once it is not being held open.

Section 3: Removal of cassette safety shutter
Proceed with the following step for the removal of a shutter assembly.
Step 1: To remove a shutter assembly that is snapped into place in the rear backplane, the shutter assembly should be in the OPEN position. Push to release the two retainer tabs as described in Step 1 of Section 2 on page 2 and push down on the shutter panel to open it. Once the shutter is open, push the tabs in the center divider of the backplane back with a small screwdriver to release the two shutter retainer tabs. The shutter assembly can be lifted up and out, once both tabs are released.
