PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK
The energy storage capacitor used in the Model 410 is a
special high grade, low leakage, industrial type electrolytic
capacitor. One trait of any electrolytic capacitor is the
tendency to change characteristics when left de-energized
for extended periods.
Although these units have been completely tested at the
factory, they may be stored for a considerable length of
time. To insure proper performance, it is highly recom-
mended that this unit be energized from the power source
for a minimum two hours just before putting it into
operation. This will insure that the unit will operate at
maximum efficiency.
CHECK THE BATTERY. If the battery has run down, it is
best to replace it, or to re-charge it EXTERNALLY, before
installation.
INSTALLATION
Before putting the Model 410 into service, it should be
examined carefully to make certain that the unit has not
been damaged during shipment.
Verify that the supply voltage is of the proper value and
frequency (see Specifications table).
Mount the Model 410 in the desired location.
Connect the operating power source and output tripping
circuit (refer to Typical Application example).
CAUTION
The Model 410 uses a half-wave rectifier circuit to
charge the energy storage capacitor from the source.
With this type of circuit, it is important that no load be
placed across the energized capacitor (pins 1 & 3).
Should this occur, no charge can be built up across
the capacitor; the rectifier and current limiting resistor
will then be subjected to prolonged, excessive current
resulting in their DESTRUCTION.
Under normal operating conditions, the capacitor is protected
from damage since it’s source is applied from either the
battery and it’s associated circuitry, or from the circuit breaker,
thus keeping all loads from the capacitor. There is ample time
during a circuit breaker closing operation for the capacitor to
charge since it requires only 3 cycles for the unit to reach 90%
(applies to 240vac only) of full charge.
During testing of the unit, with it’s associated circuit
breaker, care should be exercised not to have the tripping
circuit completed while applying AC voltage to a
discharged unit.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The operation of the Model 410 is completely automatic, requiring
only an occasional check to determine if the unit is functioning
properly. A front panel neon light and rocker switch are supplied
for this purpose. If the voltage across the capacitor is above the
minimum required to operate the breaker, the light will glow when
the test button is pressed. This indicates the readiness of the unit
to trip the breaker,but it does not indicate the status of the
external power source, or the internal battery circuit.
FIELD SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENT
The Model 410 has been completely checked and adjusted at
the factory. It is advisable not to disturb these adjustments. If
for any reason the unit fails to operate properly, it should be
returned to the factory for repair, or re-calibration.
