General Information

A padlockable cover is designed to limit access to both the “ON” and “OFF” pushbuttons simultaneously, or individual pushbuttons as required. This is accomplished throught the use of individual padlockable doors that close over the pushbuttons. The padlock provision will accomodate up to three (3) padlocks with shackle diameters of 3/16 inch to 5/16 inch (5-8 mm). A small hole is also provided to accomodate a wire seal. The Safe version has an added feature that presses down on the “OFF” button continuously, keeping the breaker in a “Safe-Off” state.
Padlockable covers are available in five different configurations:

  1. Plastic Base and Clear Plastic Doors
  2. Plastic Base and Metal Doors
  3. Metal Base and Metal Doors
  4. Metal Base and Clear Plastic Doors
  5. Metal Base and Metal Doors with Safe-Off provision (Figure 1)

Step 2: Slide the base (A) with installed doors (B) in the open position on the the mounting screw (C) installed in Step 1. To simplify the door opening, slide the doors all the way up to unlock them, then slide the doors all the way down so tabs on the doors slide into the groove space on base for the full open position.

Step 3: Insert the second mounting screw (C) through the other mounting hole in the base and into the mounting hole in the faceplate. Torque both mounting screws to 6.0 lbs-in (0,68 Nm). Insert the remaining two mounting screws (C) through the indicated holes in the pushbutton cover and into the mounting holes in the faceplate. Torque both mounting screws to 6.0 lb-in (0,68 Nm). Refer to Figure 4 for reference purposes.
Step 4: Once the pushbutton cover assembly is mounted on the breaker faceplate, the doors or individual doors are ready for use.

Step 5: The doors can be closed and padlocked to prevent access to pushbuttons simultaneously or individually. In addition, a wire seal can also be used on the doors as required. For all padlock and wire seal holes to match, the doors must be all the way down so the door tabs are in the groove space on the base.
