1.0 Installation
DANGER!
*Ensure that the switchgear to be remotely operated matches the switchgear
discussed on the first page. If the switchgear does not match, please contact CBS
ArcSafe® for more information regarding remote switching applications for your
particular model.
Step 1: Ensure there are no obstructions
around the switch before installation of the
RSA-23.
ATTENTION!
The location of certain items such as
mimic bus, stickers, and/or placards
may interfere with the installation
of the RSA. These items may need
to be removed or repositioned for
proper RSA installation.
Step 2: Place the RSA-23 over the
serial plate and ensure the two
locators are positioned flush with the
serial plate escutcheon, as seen in
the figure to the right.

Step 3: Secure the RSA-23 to the breaker
by turning the twist-to-lock handle on the
magnet 180° clockwise. Verify that the trip
rod is properly aligned with the trip switch,
as seen in the figure to the right.
The RSA-23 is now properly installed and
ready for operation; see section 1.1 for
RSA-23 adjustment locations.

1.1 RSA-23 Adjustment Locations
ATTENTION!
To ensure the proper installation and operation of the RSA-23 and the switchgear,
the RSA may need to be slightly adjusted to fit each cabinet.
Step 1: If the shaft of the trip rod is failing to
trip the breaker, the travel may be adjusted
to account for slight variances with each
breaker. To adjust the travel, loosen the bolt
on the motor stop and slide in or out until
the proper position has been found.
Retighten the bolt before operating the
RSA-23.

2.0 Opening/Closing the Breaker
Step 1: Open the RSO-I lid by
disengaging the two latches on the
front of the case.
Step 2: Remove the four pin threaded
style cable from the RSO-I cord storage
area and connect the cable to the
corresponding plug on the RSA-23.
ATTENTION!
Please ensure that all cables are
clear of moving parts. Failure to
do so could damage cables and/or
actuator.
Step 3: Turn the power switch to the
“ON”position and exit the arc flash
boundary. Controls are shown in the
figure to the right.
Step 4: If equipped with the Radio
Remote option, ensure that the green
activation key is inserted into the slot
on the remote.
Step 5: Verify the unit is properly
installed on the switchgear and
connected to the RSO-I as previously
described.
Step 6: To close, press and hold the “CLOSE” button until the breaker is closed.
Step 7: To open, press and hold the “TRIP" button until the breaker is tripped.
ATTENTION
Please ensure that either the batteries on the unit are fully charged or the unit is
plugged into AC power.

DANGER!
*Ensure that personnel using this equipment are adequately trained in the
operation of the switchgear they are planning to work with; that they are correctly
stationed outside the arc flash boundary; and that they comply with all applicable
Federal, State, Local, and In-house safety regulations and procedures. Attention
should be given to distance, angle, and personal protective equipment (PPE).
