information which must be complied
with at all costs so as to avoid danger and damage:
WARNING
This symbol warns of dangerous electrical voltage.
Contact with voltage may
result in fatal injury!
WARNING
This symbol is used for instructions non-compliance
with which may result in serious injury, death or serious material damage.
IMPORTANT
This symbol is used for information which is important
to avoid damage.
1.3
Disclaimer of liability
The manufacturer shall not be held
responsible for damage which occurs if
instructions in this Technical Instruction are not complied with,
the circuit-breaker is not operated according to its intended use
(see above),
the circuit-breaker is assembled,
connected or operated improperly,
accessories or spare parts are
used which have not been approved by the manufacturer,
the circuit-breaker is converted
without the manufacturer's approval, or if inadmissible parts are attached.

Push switches
Anti-pumping relay
If an ON and OFF command is simultaneously and permanently present at the circuit-breaker, the latter
returns to its initial position after closing. It remains in this initial position
until the ON command is issued
anew. This prevents continuous closing and opening ("pumping").
Blocking coil
Blocking coils prevent the circuit
breaker from being closed and
opened via the push-buttons
"ON" or "OFF", as well as manual
actuation of the withdrawable
unit.
If the rated auxiliary voltage has
fallen or is shut off, all blocking
coils are in "blocked" position.
Auxiliary switches
Auxiliary switches are always actuated directly by the switch shaft via an
intermediate linkage. Their position
always corresponds to that of the
main contacts. As standard, the circuit-breaker is equipped with two
auxiliary switches with 8 contact elements each.
Operating counter
The operating counter indicates
the number of switching operations.

Safety provisions
Safety provisions
1. On principle, the 5 safety rules
applicable for electrical engineering must be complied with before maintenance work on the circuit-breaker is started:
Isolate switchgear from power
supply
Prevent it from reclosing
Verify it for zero voltage
Earth and short-circuit it
Cover or bar off adjacent live
components.
These rules apply for the upper
and lower circuit-breaker terminals alike.
2. Switch off the auxiliary voltage for
the circuit-breaker drive and secure it against reclosing.
