Product Introduction:
The PB16 is designed to operate a single pushbutton. It is particularly
useful as an alternative method to trip a breaker where the trip coil
inside the breaker has failed. In this situation, the PB16 is well suited
to press the mechanical Trip button on the front of the breaker from a
safe distance. The actuator is adjustable so that it can work in a variety
of applications, but is only “universal” within certain dimensional and
mechanical limits. This product requires a ferrous metal surface for
attaching the magnet. See specifications for additional details.
What do you get?
Includes: PB16 actuator, 30’ control cable, hand-held controller, 8 AA
industrial-grade batteries, instruction manual, and a heavy duty
waterproof Pelican carrying case.
Important Note:
The PB16 must not be used to close a breaker unless there are alternative
means available to remotely trip the breaker. This can be accomplished with
utilization of two PB16’s or actuator that is designed with the capability of
operating both the close and trip buttons without the need to re-approach
the breaker. See Section 2.2 of User’s Manual for details.
