2.0 Application Information
The RRS-3-LAR1 is suitable for most LA circuit
breakers sold by Siemens and Siemens-Allis.
The same internal racking mechanism was utilized
for all LA breakers, regardless of the frame size.
The RRS-3-LAR1 should work with all LA breakers,
800 amp frame through 5000 amp frame.
DO NOT attempt to use the RRS-3-LAR1 with any
breaker other than a LA.
3.0 General Safety Information
Carefully read and comply with all safety instructions
listed below.
The RRS-3-LAR1 contains sealed lead-acid (SLA) batteries.
In the unlikely event of a battery rupture, treat all liquids
and vapors as potentially hazardous (sulfuric acid).
Whenever the RRS-3-LAR1 is powered from an AC
source, always use the (included) GFCI-equipped
power cord. If the GFCI trips two consecutive times,
discontinue AC-powered use and contact the factory.
Whenever the lid is open the unit must be protected
from water intrusion.
Never close the carrying case while the unit is powered on.
4.0 Cables
4.1 Connecting and disconnecting the control
cable
1. Align the keyway on the cable connector with the key
on the power supply connector.
2. Push in and engage the thread on the coupling nut and
turn clockwise.
3. Use a similar technique to connect the cable to the
controller.
4.2 AC Power Cable / GFCI
ALWAYS use the GFCI-equipped power cable that was
supplied with the RRS-3-LAR1. The automatic GFCI does
not require resetting upon initial power-up. However, the
GFCI should be tested prior to use by depressing the white
TEST button. The GFCI should then trip. It is necessary
to press the red Reset button before proceeding.
If the GFCI fails to trip when the Test button is
depressed, DISCONTINUE AC-powered USE immediately
and contact the factory.
If the GFCI tests properly without a load, but trips when
a load is applied, a ground fault exists. A REAL SHOCK
HAZARD EXISTS! Immediately discontinue use and
contact the factory.
If the RRS-3-LAR1 is supplied from an extension cord, the
GFCI cannot sense an upstream ground fault, i.e. a fault
in the extension cord. For this reason, extension cords
should be connected to a GFCI outlet or portable GFCI.
4.3 Racking Head Cable
The racking head cable is a high-quality, super-exible,
multiple conductor cable, with an overall braided shield.
The racking head cable can easily be coiled and stored
in the pocket toward the front of the carrying case.
Care should be taken to ensure the carrying case lid does
not crush any of the cables.
5.0 Carrying Case
To lessen the chances of a tip over, the telescoping
tag-along handle should be completely collapsed
whenever the RLR1 is in use.
To safeguard against the case
lid breaking the control cable
connector, the lid latches should
always be left in the ‘down’
position whenever the lid is open.
