Always observe all safety precautions and use all personal protective equipment
(PPE) as required by Local Site Procedures. This equipment is designed to minimize
exposure risk to the operator. Please use the cables, explained below, to attain
a safe distance from the breakers during racking. Always use appropriate PPE.
Above all, adhere to site specific regulations and requirements.
Before beginning the racking process, be sure that the breaker is open, verify that
a lockout/tag out is in place (LOTO) and allows racking of the breaker.

Depicted In figs. 1.1 and 1.2, the Smart Drive
Bracket (SDB) is fully attached to the breaker.
The SDB utilizes a Tool Adapter Assembly (TAA),
which engages with the racking shaft to rack the
breaker in/out.
In fig. 1.1, the TAA is engaged with the racking
shaft inside the breaker. In 1.2, the tool is secured
in its stored location on the SDB.
The SDB is attached to the breaker door by two
magnet switches located at the top and bottom
of the bracket. Once the SDB is aligned with the
racking shaft and secured by the magnet
switches, the Motor Drive Unit may be engaged
to begin preforming the racking process.

Sequence Process
1. Slide out the collar on the MDU.
2. Insert the TAA in to the quick-connect
tool coupling.
3. Release the collar and shake and
twist the TAA to ensure its locked in
place.

The SDB is equipped with a Tool Adapter Assembly (TAA). The Motor Drive Unit (MDU)
is equipped with a quick-connect tool coupling, which uses a collar that slides back and
the TAA inserts in to the coupling. When the coupling is released, the TAA is secured in
place.
Sequence Process
1. Attach a fully charged battery to the
MDU.
2. Set the locking pin to the open
position.
3. Insert the MDU equipped with the
TAA through the mounting rings.
4. Align and engage the TAA with the
racking shaft.
5. Release the locking pin, securing the
MDU in place.
6. Connect the SDB Automation Cable
to the MDU.
Sequence Process
1. Locate racking shaft access port.
2. Align arched guide with access port.
3. Firmly hold the SDB to the arc shield.
4. Engage Switch Magnets until handle
reaches the secure, locked location.

The Portable Kit includes two 28V batteries. Before connecting the battery to the system,
make sure the battery is fully charged and is attached to the MDU. If preferred, an AC Power
Supply is available, negating the need of a battery.
The MDU intuitively fits into the SDB mounting rings (depicted in red), on top of which
is a locking pin (depicted in green, fig. 1.5). Set the locking pin to the open position. Insert
the MDU and align the UTAA with the Intermediate Tool Adapter, then lock the MDU into
place by releasing the locking pin. When the pin fully engages, the MDU is secure.
Once the MDU is secured to the SDB and fully connected to the Tool Adapter, connect the
50’ SDB Automation Cable to the Motor Drive Unit.
Fig. 1.5
In fig. 1.3, the Intermediate Tool Assembly has been removed from the SDB. Guide the SDB
toward the racking shaft by looking through the mounting rings, depicted in red, and align
the arched guide with the access port. Once in line, firmly hold the SDB against the arc
shield and activate the switch magnets by turning the black handles to the locked position.
Once secured, the magnets will hold the SDB in place.

The Handheld Controller connects to the MDU via a 50’ Automation Cable. If necessary
three cables may be tethered to achieve a safe distance of 150’. Once plugged in and
turned on, the Handheld Controller guides the user through the racking in/out procedure.
When racking in/out, if an obstruction or mechanism
failure occurs, the system will attempt to recover the
breaker to a safe position. Actions will be displayed
with an asterisk (*) in front of them. When done, the
position of the breaker will be displayed as determined
by the recovery. Note the location and approach with
caution. Determine the cause of the failure and remedy the situation prior to attempting
additional remote racking.
NOTE: Attempting to stop or shutting down the system mid-process once it has started
is not recommended, as this will leave the breaker in an unknown position. The Remote
Racking System will only operate from “known” positions: connect or disconnect. The Remote
Racking System will not engage when the breaker is at a mid-point.
