Each pole can be equipped with an earthing switch, with the same rated short-circuit withstand capability as the isolator. According to the ratings, the earthing switch can be of TD (see Fig. 2) or TV (see fig. 3) type. Both of them consist of an arm (2a-3a) which rotates over an angle of 90 degrees around a horizontal shaft (2b-3b); after this rotation: ~ TD earthing switch has completed its movement and the male fixed contact (2c) is already inserted in the female one (2d); ~ TV earthing switch starts a vertical movement along the axis of the arm, which makes the male contact (3c) insert in the female fixed one (3d). Both isolator and earthing switch can be motor or manually operated. For group-operated isolators and earthing switches, the three poles are linked one another by means of interphase connecting rods.Center-break isolators are identified as follows: GQ) (2) = (3) where : (1) = SDC_ for isolators without earthing switch SOCT for isolators with earthing switch (2) = basic impulse level (kv) (3) = rated normal current (A) Example: SDCT 750-1250 Note : the isolator shown in fig. 1 is SDC 650 - 1250; of course, e@ isolators with different current or voltage rating could be different in some details, but contents of this and following chapters are valid in general,Main 3-DESCRIPTION components of a three-pole isolator, type SDCT, are described in this chapter. A — Supporting bases The base of each pole consists of a hot-dip-galvanized steel tube (1a), on which are welded ~ four (or eight) feet (1h), with the holes for fixing the pole to the supporting structure = the two pilot collars of the rotating supports (1i) ~ the mechanical limit stop in closed position (11), The rotating supports (1b), which turn on self-lubricating bushings or on maintenance-free ball bearings (according to the rated voltage of the isolator), are linked each other by a diagonal rod (im); the length of this rod can be adjusted by making it slide inside the special clamp (in). Each base is also provided with the nameplate (1p) and with a Mi2_ grounding bolt (1q) (a clamp, fit for the grounding conductor, can be mounted on request). Post insulators When supplied, post insulators (1c) are in compliance with Customers’ requirements. Main circuits The main circuit of each pole consists of two arms, male (1d) and female (1e), each made of aluminium alloy flat bars, at the ends of which the hinge (ir) and main contacts (1#-1g) are bolted. Contacts, whose number varies according to the current rating, are made of copper with a flash of silver coating (if silver-to-silver contacts are required, the thickness of silver on the contact surfaces is suitably increased). Assembling bolts and contact springs are made of stainless steel. Each arm includes a cylindrical terminal stud (1s), made of silverec copper; for the higher current ratings, or by request, aluminium alloy flat terminal pads are provided.When built-on earthing switch is provided, its fixed contacts, male (2c) or female (3d), are directly bolted to the arms. If necessary, main circuits are equipped with arcing horns (1t) and, for higher voltage ratings, with corona shields, £arthing switch Each pole of the earthing switch, both of TD and TV type, consists of an aluminium alloy arm (2a-3a), with the moving contact, \ female (2d) or male (3c), bolted at its upper end (the fixed contact, as previously Said, is bolted to the main circuit). Both fixed and moving contacts are made of copper. The lower end of the arm is provided with flexible copper braids (2e-3e) (number and size according to the short- circuit withstand capability) for the connection to the supporting base. At least one of the three group-operated poles has a mechanical limit stop (2f-3f), which allows to put the arms in horizontal position when open. Transmission system The transmission system consists of a set of shafts, rods and Jevers, made of hot-dip-galvanized steel, suitably linked each other in order to transmit the movement from the operating mechanism to the main circuits (a typical detail of a transmission system is shown in figure 4, as an example). The links between the various components is generally made through stainless stee1 bolts (4a), which act as pivots, and clamps (4b), which allow the adjustment of the length of the connecting rods (4c); in some cases, the adjustment of the length can be done by means of threaded elements (4r), inserted in the rods for the purpose. Operating mechanisms For a detailed information about operating mechanisms, reference should be to the relevant handbook.4-ERECTION {he erection of whatever isolator has to be carried out according to the relevant assembly drawing, which must be considered as an enclosure of this handbook. In order to allow a quick and easy erection, all isolators are Partially assembled at factory and the number of components to be assembled on site is very small. Each component is characterized by a code, which appears both on the assembly drawing and on the component itself. Moreover, on such drawing, the assembling bolts are shown with the points Where they have to be used (such bolts are separately packed, in special bags). After the identification of all components, the operations hereunder described have to be carried out for the correct. erection and setting up of the isolator (in the following, the erection of a three-pole isolator is described, but the procedure is also valid, with the obvious semplifications, for single-pole isolators). A ~ Erection of the isolator 1 2) 3) Examine the assembly drawing and check that the dimensions of the supporting structure comply with the ones indicated in the drawing itself (fixing points in particular). Set up on the supporting structure the three bases (1a), taking care, in particular, of their alignment and levelling; if necessary, correct the horizontality by inserting the aluminium “C" washers supplied for this purpose, between the feet (1h) and the structure (for each three-pole isolator, 20+20 washers (0.5mm and imm thick) are supplied). Choose two insulators (1c) per pole, with heights as equal as Possible, and bolt them to the bases; take care that they are perfectly vertical and, if necessary, use the a.m. "C" washers. Set up the arms (id-te) of each pole on the post insulators: note that the fixing holes on the top flanges have to be chosen so as to allow the rotation of the arms in the direction shown in the assembly drawing.Before tightening the fixing bolts of the arms, carry out some manual operations in order to verify the correct working of each pole; check, in particular, that: ~ in closed position, the two arms are perfectly horizontal and in Tine, and the distance between the male contact (1f) and the springs of the female (1u) is about 35mm (see fig. 1): in this position, adjust the mechanical limit stops on the base so that the heads of the bolts (4d) touch the rotating supports (4e); ~ during the closing operations, the arcing horns (it), if Present, touch themselves before than the main contacts. To attain the above conditions, it may be necessary: ~ to insert “C” washers between the arms and the insulators; ~ to exploit the slack of the Fixing holes of the arms; ~ to adjust the length of the diagonal rod (1m), making it slide in the special clamp (in) (in the case, after the adjustment, retighten the bolts of the clamp with a torque of 4 daNm); - to deform a little the arcing horns. Note all the above checks have to be executed again when the conductors or busbars are connected with the terminal studs of the isolator. if lifting equipment is available, it could be easier to assemble each pole at ground’ level and, then, position it on the structure. Put the three poles in closed position and set up the inter- Phase connecting rods, tightening the bolts of the coupling Clamps (4b), if present, at 4 daNm (before inserting the rods in the possible clamps, it is very important to degrease carefully the surfaces to be coupled). Set up the operating mechanism, where shown in the assembly drawing, and put it, manually, in closed position (see the operating mechanism handbook). Set up the vertical driving shaft as follows, taking particular care to its verticality: ~ connect its lower end to the operating mechanism, without tightening the coupling bolts;9) eo 11) - fix the guide of its upper end (4f), and the possible brace (see the assembly drawing), to the supporting structure. If the guide (4f) was not inserted in the shaft at factory, the upper end of this latter has to be passed through the guide hole on site; in order to do that, it may be necessary to remove the lever (4g) from the shaft: in such a case, it is recommended not to change the position of assembling bolts when replacing the lever. Connect the lever on the top of the vertical shaft (49) with the rotating support of the driving base (4e), through the driving rod (4c): it is very important to check that, in this position, the lever and the rod exceed the dead-center. Fasten the vertical shaft to the rotating disk of the operating mechanism, following the instructions of the relevant handbook. Carry out some manual operations, to check the correct working of the three-pole isolator, and, if necessary, modify the length of the components of the transmission system, considering that: - by adjusting the length of the lever on the top of the vertical driving shaft (49), it is possible to modify the total travel of the isolator; - by adjusting the length of the driving rod (4c), it is possible to modify the position of the three-pole isolator in respect to the operating mechanism; - by adjusting the length of the interphase connecting rods, it is possible to modify the position of one pole in respect to the others. In case of SDCT isolators, it is very important to check that, in open position, the arms which carry the fixed contacts of the earthing switch (2c-3d) are perpendicular to the base, so as to allow the right insertion of the respective moving contacts (3c-2d). After making the above, possible adjustments, all bolts must. be retightened to their rated torque: - operating mechanism disk: see the relevant handbook - possible clamps (4b) 4 daNm - shaft lever (49) : 6 daNm (N.B.: bolts (4a) acting as pivots in the transmission system have to be tightened so that they do not prevent the free rotation of articulations). 1012) Adjust the mechanical limit stops at the top of the vertical driving shaft, so that, at the end of closing and opening operations, the head of the bolt (4h) touches, without pressing, the lever (49). 13) Fix the corona shields (if present) to the main circuit, as shown in the assembly drawing. 14) Smear a thin coat of special contact compound or neutral vaseline on the contact surfaces, and grease all the articulations of the transmission system (see chapter 5, for the products to be used). 15) Complete the installation of the operating mechanism, as explained in the relevant handbook. B - Erection of the earthing switch (if present) If built-on earthing switch is provided, the operations hereunder Gescribed (valid for both TD and TV type) have to be carried out for its erection. 1) Making reference to the assembly drawing, fix the arms of the earthing switch (2a-3a) to the base of each pole (29-3g), taking care to connect the flexible copper braids (2e-3e): it is very important to find the right position of the terminal jugs in order to avoid braids being damaged during operations (note that the bolts where the lugs have to be inserted are jonger than the other fixing bolts). Before tightening the fixing bolts of the arms, carry out @ some manual operations in order to verify the correct working of each pole; check, in particular, the entry of the moving contact (2d-3c) in the fixed one (2c-3d) and, if necessary, insert “C" washers and exploit the lacks of the fixing holes, both of the arm and of the fixed contacts, to attain the correct: engagement, 3) Put the arms in closed position and set up the interphase connecting rods, tightening the bolts of the coupling clamps (if present) at 4 daNm (before inserting the rods in the possible clamps, it is very important to degrease carefully the surfaces to be coupled). 4) Put in closed position the operating mechanism too, and set up the vertical driving shaft with relevant upper guide (41) and possible brace (41) (see the instructions given for the erection of the isolator, at operation A-8). "5) Connect the lever on the top of the vertical shaft (4m) with the horizontal shaft of the driving pole (4n-2b-3b), through the driving rod (4p): it is very important to check that, in this position, the lever and the rod exceed the dead-center. ©) Fasten the vertical shaft to the rotating disk of the Operating mechanism, following the instructions of the relevant handbook. 7) Put’ the earthing switch in open position and adjust the mechanical limit stops (2f-3f), where present, so that the arms do not go beyond the horizontal (take note that it is allowable, for the arms, to remain a little upward, provided that the minimum distance to the live parts is not reduced) 3) Carry out ‘some manual operations, to check the correct @ working of the three-pore earthing switch, and, if necessary, adjust the transmission system as explained at operation A-11 for the isolator. 8) Adjust the mechanical limit stops at the top of the vertical driving shaft, so that, at the end of closing and opening Operations, the head of the bolt (4q) touches, without Pressing, the lever (4m). 10) Fix the corona shields (if present) to the fixed contact, as shown in the assembly drawing, (1) Smear a thin coat of special contact compound or neutral vaseline on the contact surfaces, and grease all the articulations of the transmission system (see chapter 5, for the products to be used). 125-MAINTENANCE All jsolators and earthing switches are designed and manufactured for assuring the highest reliabilty with the minimum maintenance and for working under the worst service conditions. The frequency of maintenance operations depends on the site where the equipment is installed. e@: a clean environment, it can work regularly for several years ithout any maintenance, while, in a very polluted one, frequent “maintenance operations are necessary. When the equipment is installed in a normal environment, it is recommended to carry out, about once a year or every 1000 operating cycles, the following periodical operations: a - general visual inspection b - check of the correct working and, when necessary, adjustment . of the driving and connecting rods and of the limit switches, so that the equipment may return to the first installation conditions © - check of the tightening of all bolts d- cleaning and degreasing of the main contacts, and new greasing with a special contact compound (“ELETACT 500" by e Tecnolube Seal or “MOLICOMPOUND MP" by FAPA are recommended) * © - greasing of all the articulations of the transmission system ("SYLAN 3" by Rocket Lubricating Products is recommended) f - washing and degreasing of all insulators. 1313.10.97 Rufetto Maggiore iz] Maggiore Cd Edition Date Written Checked ‘Approved FM386/E (10/97)8.

For a better understanding of the text, the components of the mechanisms which are referred to, are characterized by a code put between brackets; this code is made up of a number followed by a letter: the number corresponds to the figure where the component is shown, while the letter identifies the component in that figure (figures and components are listed in chapter 8). FM386/E (10/97) 32-GENERAL CD operating mechanisms are designed for the electric and manual operation of MV and HV outdoor isolators and earthing switches. They are manufactured in many different types but, in this handbook, only the following two are dealt with: CD101 : used for the operation of isolators without built-on earthing switch (CD201 : used for the operation of isolators with built-on earthing switch The standard overall dimensions of both mechanisms are shown in figure 1 (in some special cases, as a consequence of optional accessories installed inside the housing, dimensions might be different please refer to the contract drawings for the actual ones) ‘The operations that these mechansims can carry out are * electrical operation of the isolator, by means of an electric motor which drives a speed reduction gear connected to the vertical shaft, ‘+ manual operation of the isolator, by means of a crank to be inserted into the above-mentioned speed reduction gear, at an intermediate step; ‘+ manual operation of the earthing switch, by means of a lever which operates directly on the vertical shaft ‘The methods of execution of the above-mentioned operations are described in chapter 4. ‘The mechanisms are generally supplied with 180° rotation (sec fig. 1) but, in some special cases, the rotation may be different and this is shown in the contract drawings. FM386/E (10/97) 4CRIPTION CD101-CD201 operating mechanisms consist of a hot-dip-galvanized steel sheet housing (1a) which contains all the electrical and mechanical components; the housing is provided with a wide, padlockable (1m) front door (1b), hinged on the left side and equipped with a locking handle (Ic) on the right side The protection degree of the housing is 1P44 in the standard version, but, on request, it can be increased up to IPSS. Outside the housing there are: ® one (CD101) or two (CD201) rotating disks (Id-le), prearranged for the connection to the vertical driving shafts, by means of a special flange (1f) (this flange is generally supplied with the shaft); the disks are so shaped as to make the mechanical interlock between the isolator and the possible earthing switch; on each of them there are the labels "open" and "closed" (2a) which form, with the "arrow" (2b) applied on the upper part of the housing, the "position indicating device"; generally, on the disk of the earthing switch there is the seat (2c) for the insertion of the operating lever (1g) (in special cases, this seat can be found on the coupling flange (1f) or directly welded on the shaft); ® the devices (2d-2e) for locking the equipment in the open and closed positions (if requested); in the case of the earthing switch, the device (2e) can be positioned for the automatic insertion at the end of the operation, and, when inserted, can be secured by means of a padlock; in the case of the isolator, to be iserted, it (2d) has to be pushed toward the shaft axis at the end of the operation, and need a padlock which keep it in that position (padlocks are not normally included in the supply); instead of standard type, "Kirk", "Castell", or similar locking systems (2f) can be supplied on request; » the entry hole (2g) of the crank (1h) for the manual emergency operation of the isolator, sheltered by a hinged shutter; * an aluminium plate (1i), screwed up at the bottom, which has to be drilled for the passage of control and signalling cables (through suitable cable glands, normally not included in the supply); ® aM12 bolt (2h) for the earthing of the housing Inside the housing, beyond the front door, there is a metallic panel on which, besides the name plate a) and the emergency crank (3b), a large part of the electrical components can be found. Since the operating mechanisms are always manufactured according to Customers’ specifications, the electrical components vary each time, and it is not possible to draw a complete list of them (please, refer to the contract electric diagram to know the components actually installed); as an example, in figures 3 and 4 the most common appear. EM386/E (10/97) 5In particular, in figure 3, which refers to the front of the panel, the following components are represented (those normally supplied are preceeded by an asterisk) the release push-button for the manual emergency operation of the isolator (3c) the release push-button for the earthing switch operation (34) the control push-button of the motor opening operation of the isolator (3e) the control push-button of the motor closing operation of the isolator (31) the local-remotechange-over switch (3) (*) the motor circuit switch (3h) the heating circuit switch (3i). In figure 4, which refers to the back of the panel, are instead displayed: (*) the anti-condensation resistance (4a) the heating resistance (4b) one relay (4c) (*) the opening contactor (4d) (*) the closing contactor (4e) the control thermostat of the heating circuit (41) The contract electric diagram of the operating mechanism (SCD...) is always provided and is placed in the pocket (1) on the back of the door of the housing By pulling the special knob (31), it is possible to open the panel and to enter the inside of the housing, which is shown in figures 5 and 6 for the mechanisms type CD101 and CD201 respectively. Inside the housing, beyond the panel, are always placed: * the electric motor (5a-6a), which can be suitable for both alternate and direct current; * the speed reduction gear (5b-6b), mechanically irreversible so to prevent the isolator to come out of whatever reached position; ® the group of auxiliary and control contacts of the isolator (Se-6c): the two upper contacts of this, group (7a-7b) are used to stop the motor when the operation is finished, while the others, whose number depends on the requests of the Customer, are available for signalling or to make electrical interlocks (since each contact is controlled by a cam (7c), continuously adjustable, and is independent from the others, it is possible to obtain whatever signalling program), ® the safety microswitch (Sd-Gd) which prevents the electric operations, both local and remote, when the crank is inserted; ® the terminal block (Se-6e), ® the group of the auxiliary contacts of the earthing switch (61) (only on CD201), they too in such a number to fulfil the specific requirements and, on request, controlled by adjustable cams, ‘When the contacts are cam-controlled, a transparent guard (Su-6u) is generally provided before them in order to prevent the misadjustment of the cams due to accidental shocks. FM386/E (10/97) 6In addition to the above-mentioned components, inside the housing can be placed, on request, more accessories. Among them, for example, the following are displayed in figures 5 and 6: + the electromagnet (Sg-6g) which prevents the insertion of the crank into the reduction gear, and that, if there are the external consents, can be energized by means of the release push-button on the panel (3c); + the microswitch (Sh-6h) which prevents the motor operations when the panel is open + the electromagnet (6i) which locks the rotating disk of the earthing switch, and that, if there are the external consents, can be energized by means of the release push-button on the panel (34); + an earthing bar for the connection of the incoming cables screens (SI-61). Inside the housing there are also the copper braids (St-6t) for the connection to ground of the vertical shafts. FM386/E (10/97) 74-OPERATION CD operating mechanisms, as already said in chapter 2, are designed for the electric and manual operation of outdoor isolators and earthing switches. In this chapter the methods of execution of the possible operations are explained It is understood that, before carrying out whatever operation, all position locks and interlocks have to be removed. A- Electrical Operation of the Isolator The electrical operation of the isolator can be controlled both locally and remotely; in both cases, the operation is possible only in the presence of all electrical consents, both external and internal to the operating mechanism, if these consents are missing whatever control action does not cause any effect Among the internal consents, which are the conditions that the components of the mechanism themselves have to fulfil, remind that: * the motor-circuit switch (3h) has to be in "on" position; © the crank for the manual operation (Sm-6m) must not be inserted into the reduction gear or, in any case, in such a position to press the safety microswitch (Sd-6d); * the change-over switch (3g), if present, has to be in "REM" position (for the remote operation) or in "LOC" position (for the local operation) * ifthe panel microswitch (Sh-Gh) is present, the panel itself has to be closed. If all the electrical consents are present, in order to carry out the electric operation of the isolator it is enough to press the opening or closing control push-button (on the operating ‘mechanism panel (3e-31), if present, or in the control room). Usually, it is not necessary to keep the push-button pressed during the operati components are electrically connected in such a manner that, once an operation is i motor continues to run till the operation itself is finished. because iated, the At the end of the operation, the limit contact, (7a) or (7b), switches off the control circuit and causes the stop of the motor. In case of power failure in the motor supply circuit during the operation, the isolator stops in the reached pcsition, when restored, it is necessary to press again the control push-button, in order to proceed with the previously started operation or to go back to the initial position. FM386/E (10/97) 8gB- Manual Operation of the Isolator The manual operation of the isolator can be carried out by inserting the special crank (Sm-6m) in the reduction gear (5b-6b), through the hole (2g) on the right side wall of the housing, and making it rotate: a label, located near the hole, shows the direction of rotation for the requested operation. The possibility to insert the crank into the reduction gear can be, on request, subordinated to an electrical consent: in this case, the entry hole is partially blocked up by an electromagnet (5g- 6g), and the insertion of the crank can take place, in the presence of the above-mentioned consent, only after pressing the release push-button (3c) (and keeping it pressed until the crank has passed the electromagnet) In the way towards the reduction unit, the crank necessarily presses the safety microswitch (Sd- 6d), and makes whatever electric operation impossible @ C- Manuat Operation of the Earthing Switch (only on CD201) For the manual operation of the earthing switch the special lever (1g) has to be inserted in the seat on the disk (2c), and the vertical shaft rotated, If, as in most cases, the rotating disk is provided with the device for locking the equipment in the open and closed positions (2e), before starting the rotation, this device has to be pulled (dashed position in figure 2) in order to release the disk; later on, during the operation, the device has to be loosen, so as to allow it to stop the disk automatically at the end of the operation (this is important, in particular, if there is not the blocking electromagnet (6i)). If the mechanism is provided with the blocking electromagnet (6i), the operation can be performed, only in the presence of the electrical consents, after releasing the disk by pressing the release push-button on the panel (3d); in case of power failure in the supply circuit, it is possible to release the disk by pulling downwards the nut placed on the bottom of the electromagnet (N.B.: in some cases, in order to release the disk, it could be necessary to force slightly the ®@ operating lever towards one of the two directions, in order to avoid that friction keeps locked the electromagnet bolt in its seat) Note that at least one between the locking device (2e) and the electromagnet (Gi) is certainly installed in the mechanism, because, at the end of each operation, one of them has to work as : mechanical limit stop. FM386/E (10/97) 95-RECEIVING AND STORAGE Operating mechanisms are generally shipped in cases (or crates) together with other metallic parts of the isolator (see the packing list). Packages must be handled with care and always in vertical position as indicated on the cases by means of conventional marks, Should any package appear damaged, the contents must be inspected and, in case of evidence of damage to the material, a claim must be made to the carrier and COELME must be informed immediately (in such a case, please specify the code number of the damaged component and describe the damage, enclosing pictures if possible). If the equipment is not put into service in a short time, the cases have to be stored in vertical position (see conventional marks) , in a proper place. Cases containing operating mechanisms can be stored outside, provided that they are placed in a dry and sheltered area, or, preferably, inside (see the contract conditions for the guarantee period), If this is not possible, it is necessary to remove the operating mechanisms from the cases, place them ‘on supports which keep them raised from ground, cover them with plastic sheets and, above all, connect the anti-condensation resistance. In case of long-term storage, it is recommended to inspect the cases periodically (twice a year at least) and enough time before the beginning of the installation, FM386/E (10/97) 106-INSTALLATION For a correct installation and setting up of the operating mechanism, the operations described in the following have to be carried out. No special tool is required For fixing the housing to the supporting structure a wrench and a water-level are enough, while, for cable connection to the terminal block, standard electrician toolings are needed (besides a drill for drilling the bottom plate) Electrical components installed in the operating mechanism are shown and listed in the electric diagram, which must_be considered as an enclosure of this handbook (a copy of the diagram is also placed in the pocket inside the box) In the description which follows we refer to the mechanism type CD101, but all operations are ‘equally valid, with the obvious changes, for the type CD201 as well. 1) Fasten the operating mechanism to the supporting structure, by means of the four stud bolts which project from the rear wall of the housing; before tightening completely the nuts, it is very important to check that the upper face of the rotating disk (1d) is perfectly horizontal and that its vertical axis concides with that of the operating shaft: to obtain these conditions, it can be necessary to insert shims ("C" washers) betweeen the structure and the housing and to exploit the slack of the fixing holes 2) Manually, put the operating mechanism in the end position (“open" or "closed") specified in the erection handbook of the isolator to be operated. @ Wi scteenc 0 this iis important to cay when the operating mechaism has reached one of the end positions. A- Isolator The end positions are reached when the mechanical limit stops inside the housing (5n-Sp) touch one another; in these conditions it has to be possible the insertion of the mechanical locks, if present, and besides, in the open position, the rotating disk of the possible earthing switch has to be allowed to rotate freely B - Earthing Switch (only CD201) The end positions are determined by the electromagnet (6i) and/or by the locking device (6q) that, as explained in paragraph 4/C, at the end of the operation work as mechanical limit stops.

Remove the transparent guard (Su-u) and adjust the cams that control the electrical limit switches (7a-7b) so that they intervene slightly before the mechanical stops (Sn-5p); these two cams have already been adjusted at factory, but a slight additional adjustment on site might be necessary (the adjustment of each cam has to be done by making it rotate on its axis (see fig. 7) until the right position is reached), note that the correct adjustment has to allow the mechanical stops to touch one another, without pressing, when the operation has been completed IEnecessary, adjust all the other cams of the group (7c), one by one, according to the requested signalling program (if any). Note that auxiliary switches are factory adjusted and wired according to the timing diagram shown in the contract electric diagram (SCD...) or, if this is not specified, so that = when the isolator is open, "NC" switches are closed; = when the isolator is closed, "NO" switches are closed Factory adjustment of the cams which control the auxiliary contacts is put in evidence by a row of lined points (74) marked with indelible ink on the cams themselves (generally, these points are visible either in open or in closed position) Itis possible to change the "factory" signalling program at site in order to meet new or different requirements; in this case, after the final adjustment has been made, it is recommended to mark another row of lined points of different color on all the cams, in order to give the evidence of possible unauthorized tampering, If it is sure that no further change of setting will be necessary, the cams may be "locked" by putting some drops of adhesive (suitable for plastic material like, for example, LOCTITE 424) between the central and the outer part of each cam and, if possible, between their two halves In case of disassembly of the operating mechanism, no special instruction is needed, except to handle the material with care if another assembly is foreseen.

It is a good rule, compatibly with the installation and exercise conditions, to make sure that the mechanism works properly, by making some operations occasionally. In the design and manufacturing of the mechanisms, all precautions have been taken in order to prevent corrosion phenomena which can compromise the functionality of the equipment: it is however absolutely necessary, in order to avoid such troubles, never to disconnect the anti- condensation resistance FM386/E (10/97) 138-FIGURES LEGEND In order to make easier the identification of the particulars which are referred to in this handbook, the details "marked" in the figures are listed in the following, Figurel : Outline la - Housing Ib - Front door lc - Locking handle 1d - Isolator rotating disks le - Earthing switch rotating disk If - Coupling flange 1g - Operating lever e th - Crank li. - Bottom plate Il ~ Inside pocket Im - Provision for padlocking Figure2 : Top view 2a - Position labels (open - closed) 2b - Indicator (arrow) 2c - Operating lever insertion hole 2d - Isolator locking device 2e - Earthing switch locking device 2f - Key interlock 2g - Crank insertion hole 2h - Grounding bolt ia 3: Panel front view 3a - Nameplate 3b - Crank 3c - Release push-button for isolator manual operation 3d. - Release push-button for earthing switch operation 3e - Isolator control push-button (opening) 3f - Isolator control push-button (closing) 3g - Local-remote change-over switch 3h - Motor circuit switch 3i - Heating circuit switch 31 - Panel knob Figure 4: Panel rear view 4a - Anti-condensation resistance 4b - Heating resistance FM386/E (10/97) 144c - Relay 4d - Opening contactor 4e - Closing contactor 4f - Thermostat FigureS : CD101 inside Sa - Electric motor 5b - Speed reduction gear Sc - Isolator auxiliary and control contacts Sd - Safety microswitch Se - Terminal block 5g - Crank electromagnet Sh - Panel microswitch S| - Farthing bar 5m - Crank Sn - Limit stop on the shaft Sp - Limit stop on the housing Sr - Coupling flange 5s - Bottom plate St - Copper braid Su - Transparent guard Figure6 : D201 inside 6a - Electric motor 6b - Speed reduction gear 6c - Isolator auxiliary and control contacts 6d - Safety microswitch 6e - Terminal block 6f - Earthing switch auxiliary contacts 6g - Crank electromagnet 6h - Panel microswitch Gi - Earthing switch electromagnet @ 6l - Earthing bar 6m - Crank 6n ~ Limit stop on the shaft 6p - Limit stop on the housing 6q - Earthing switch locking device 6t_- Copper braids 6u - Transparent guard Figure7 : — Isolator auxiliary and control contacts 7a - Closing limit switch 7b - Opening limit switch Te - Adjustable cams 7d - Alignment marks FM386/E (10/97) 15CD_201 85 FM_386PIANTA TOP VIEW VISTA_EN PLANTA _ VUE EN PLAN FM_386,er Sa PANNELLO .
