Instructions apply to:

UL489 : PD-NF UL489 : PD-RF

IEC : PD-NF, IZMX16 IEC : PD-RF, IZMX40

WARNING
(1) ONLY QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL PERSONNEL SHOULD BE PERMITTED TO WORK
ON THE EQUIPMENT.
(2) ALWAYS DE-ENERGIZE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY CIRCUITS IF A CIRCUIT
BREAKER CANNOT BE REMOVED TO A SAFE WORK LOCATION.
(3) DRAWOUT CIRCUIT BREAKERS SHOULD BE LEVERED (RACKED) OUT TO THE
DISCONNECT POSITION.
(4) ALL CIRCUIT BREAKERS SHOULD BE SWITCHED TO THE OFF POSITION AND
MECHANISM SPRINGS DISCHARGED.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE STEPS FOR ALL PROCEDURES DESCRIBED IN THIS
INSTRUCTION LEAFLET COULD RESULT IN DEATH, BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE.

WARNING
THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS IL AND ON PRODUCT LABELS HAVE TO
BE FOLLOWED. OBSERVE THE FIVE SAFETY RULES:
– DISCONNECTING;
– ENSURE THAT DEVICES CANNOT BE ACCIDENTALLY RESTARTED;
– VERIFY ISOLATION FROM THE SUPPLY;
– EARTHING AND SHORT-CIRCUITING; AND
– COVERING OR PROVIDING BARRIERS TO ADJACENT LIVE PARTS.
DISCONNECT THE EQUIPMENT FROM THE SUPPLY. USE ONLY AUTHORIZED
SPARE PARTS IN THE REPAIR OF THE EQUIPMENT. HE SPECIFIED MAINTENANCE
INTERVALS AS WELL AS THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPAIR AND EXCHANGE MUST
BE STRICTLY ADHERED TO PREVENT INJURY TO PERSONNEL AND DAMAGE TO

voltage falls to between 35 - 60% of rated voltage. If the release is not
energized to 85% of its supply voltage, the circuit breaker cannot be
closed electrically or manually (see Table 2). It is supplied with orange
and brown secondary leads connected to a secondary connector plug
(see Figure 3). A UVR should only be installed in the right side of the Shunt Trip and Undervoltage
tray. Release with Secondary Connector

Overcurrent Trip Switch (OTS)

An overcurrent trip switch (bell alarm) provides an electrical indication
when a circuit breaker trips as a result of the trip unit reacting to an
overcurrent condition. An electrical indication will not occur unless a
standard or interlocking Trip Indicator is installed (refer to IL01301058E).
Opening as a result of a circuit breaker’s manual open button, ST
or UVR does not cause the overcurrent trip switch to operate (see
Table 3). OTSs are always supplied as a two-switch combination. The
combination is supplied with red, blue, and black secondary leads
connected to three secondary connector plugs (Figure 3).

IMPORTANT
TO REMOVE RIGHT AND LEFT ACCESSORY TRAYS OR ANY OTHER
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORY, THE APPROPRIATE ACCESSORY CONNECTOR PLUG
MUST FIRST BE DISCONNECTED.

Step 5: To remove an accessory plug on a fixed circuit breaker, the

appropriate fixed secondary terminal block must first be removed. To
remove a fixed secondary terminal block, lift up on the small flexible
mounting tab at the top of the fixed terminal block mounting plate, and
rotate the terminal block out in the opposite direction shown in Step 4.
Once the terminal block is removed, the accessory connector plug can
be unplugged from the bottom of the terminal block. Refer to Item 2
Figure 38. Step 1. and Figure 37 under the heading “General Information” in this section
for detailed assistance with the removal.

manual pushbutton. Verify that the breaker does not toggle to the
Closed position.
2. Apply rated voltage to the UVR as shown in Table 2. Ensure the
breaker is in the Charged position, then close the breaker using the
manual pushbutton. Verify that the breaker is in the Closed position.
3. Remove voltage from the UVR and verify that the breaker toggles
to the Open position.

Shunt Trip Testing

1. Charge the breaker using the manual handle. With no voltage

applied to the shunt trip, close the circuit breaker using the manual
pushbutton. Verify that the breaker toggles to the Closed position.
2. Apply rated voltage to the shunt trip as shown in Table 1. Verify that
the breaker toggles to the Open position.

OTS Testing

1. Remove the Accessory Tray and verify continuity between leads 5

and 6 for OT1 and continuity between leads 9 and 10 for OT2.
2. Reinstall the Accessory Tray and ensure the Trip Indicator is
depressed. Then verify continuity between leads 5 and 7 for OT1
and continuity between leads 8 and 9 for OT2.

OR, if an Eaton approved Trip Unit Tester is available, perform the

following steps with the Accessory Tray installed in the circuit breaker.

1. Ensure the Trip Indicator is depressed and verify continuity between

leads 5 and 7 for OT1 and continuity between leads 8 and 9 for
OT2.
2. Trip the breaker using the Trip Unit Tester.
3. The Trip Indicator will extend from the breaker.
4. Verify continuity between leads 5 and 7 for OT1 and continuity
between leads 8 and 9 for OT2.
5. Depress the Trip Indicator.
