DANGER!
Ensure that the equipment to be remotely operated matches the equipment shown and
described on the cover page. If the equipment does not match, please contact CBS
ArcSafe® for more information regarding remote operating applications for the equipment
in question.
Step 1: First, ensure that the panel surrounding the handle operator is free from any
obstruction that may interfere with the proper installation of the RSA-161A. The device will be
mounted on top of the handle operator and will require several inches of clearance around the
handle as shown in all directions.
Step 2: Next, ensure that the handle operator on the RSA-161A matches the location of the
handle to be remotely operated. If it does not, jog the handle to the correct position either
manually or the RSO control device.
Step 3: The RSA-161A will be mounted over the top of the handle operator and will locate on
the right edge of the cabinet door/panel. Place the RSA-161A over the handle and install onto
the surface of the door/panel. Check to ensure that all mounting surfaces are sit flush to the
surface of the door/panel and do not interfere with any protruding labels, placards, or
hardware. Ensure that the locator is properly located on the right edge of the door/panel as
shown in the image on the following page.

Step 4: Now, secure the RSA-161A into place using the twist lock magnet. Rotate the handle of
the magnet 180° clockwise to engage the magnet and secure the RSA-161A to the equipment.
Step 5: Next, find a suitable place to mount the motor control box. The motor control box is
mounted using the magnet on the underside of the box. The box should be located in a
location where it will not interfere with the remote operation of the MCCB.

ATTENTION!
The location of certain items such as mimic bus, stickers, and/or placards may interfere
with the installation of the remote operating equipment. These items may need to be
removed or repositioned for proper installation.
Step 6: Lastly, ensure that the device is setup as shown in the image on the following page. If
everything is setup as described above and shown in the image, then the RSA-161A is ready to
operate.

Step 1: Ensure that the RSA-161A is properly installed on the equipment as described in the
previous section.

Step 2: Next, open the RSO-I AR to expose the cords and controls by disengaging the two
latches on the front panel and lifting the lid.

Step 3: Remove the cable from the cord storage area inside the RSO and connect the cable to
the corresponding receptacle on the RSA-161A motor control box. Once the RSO-I AR has been
connected, exit the arc flash boundary
ATTENTION!
Please ensure that all cables are clear of moving parts. Failure to do so could damage
cables and/or actuator.
Step 4: Power the RSO-I AR on by turning the green switch to the ON position. If
using the radio remote option, turn the switch to the REM position and activate the
remote.
ATTENTION
Please ensure that either the batteries on the unit are fully charged or the unit is plugged
into AC power.
Step 5: If the handle is in the ON position and needs to be moved to the OFF position, then
press and hold the TRIP button on the RSO-I AR to turn off the equipment.
Step 6: If the handle is in the OFF position and needs to be moved to the ON position, then
press and hold the CLOSE button on the RSO-I AR to turn on the equipment.

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).
