Adjusting the Switch Operator
both the Open and Closed positions) to indicate
the circuit-switcher has been driven to a positive-
toggle position against its open (or closed) stops.
(a)
Place the selector handle in the Coupled
position. Operate electrically to open the
circuit-switcher and determine the amount
of overtravel in the opening direction by
releasing the motor brake and noting how
far the output shaft “unwinds.”
NOTICE
Before checking the “unwind” after a closing
stroke, remove the motor-circuit fuseholder
before releasing the motor brake� Excessive
“unwind” at this point could cause travel-limit
switch rotation sufficient to pick up a “bb”
contact that, in turn, would cause the switch
operator to open (if energized)�
(b)
Release the motor brake by unlatching
the manual operating handle and pivoting
it rapidly, with a snap motion, toward its
Cranking position. Then, return the manual
operating handle to its Storage position.
(c) If adjustment is needed, remove the motor-
circuit fuseholder. To increase the amount
of “unwind,” move the opening stroke travel-
limit disc (to increase travel) one indicator
plate number at a time. See Figure 11 on
page 21.
Note: The direction of disc rotation is always
the same as that of the output shaft. The output
shaft should never have sufcient “unwind” when
the switch operator is decoupled to cause travel
limit disc rotation. If travel-limit disc rotation is
evident, advance the opening-stroke travel-limit
disc (to decrease travel) an amount necessary
only to eliminate the “unwind” rotation of the
travel-limit discs.
STEP 5�
With the manual operating handle in its Storage
position, reinsert the motor-circuit fuseholder,
and operate the switch operator electrically to
close the circuit-switcher. Repeat the procedure,
as described in Step 4 and in Figure 11, and adjust
the closing-stroke travel-limit disc one indica-
tor plate number at a time to obtain the correct
amount of overtravel in the closing direction.
STEP 6�
Operate the circuit-switcher several times electri-
cally with the switch operator and observe the
action. Operation should appear smooth, with
the circuit-switcher drive-shaft cranks coming to
rest rmly against their stops, in an Overtoggle
position, in both opening and closing directions.
