mended lor remole control but includes an auxiliary manual lever on the
switch tank lor emergency hook stick operation. The switch tank cover can
be roiated in relation to lhe mounling oI the svritch lank to posilion the manual
Iever for convenieni hook stick operalion. The manual lever must be located
in the AUTO position for normal remote control.
The switch load contacts are Normally Open when the 120 voli 60 cycie
coil is de-energized. The control circuit is conlinuously energized to hold the
load contacts closed during the ON schedule lor the lighting load The chart

Type AN switches have 15KV insulation from line to tank and control,
but the interupting capacity or continuous current musl not exceed the
ratings at the voliages shown in the ordering table on page 5.
Type AN switches are available single or two pole in weatherproof
tanks, compleie with oil and with hangers {or crossarm mounting (Fig. B),
with brackets lor wall mouniing (Fig. 10). or with support lugs Ior direct
pole mounting (Fiq. S). A modified T hanger with an exiension bai is
available for applications requiring crossarm mounting o{ ihe tank wilh
support lugs.
Type AN switch load contacts are Normally Open when ihe operating
coil is de energized. The control circuit is conlinuously eneigized to hold
ihe load contacts closed during the ON schedule. Although Type AN oil
switches are recommended for remoie control, a11 auxiliary hand lever is
provided on the switch tank lor manual operation in emergency.
These switches are of{ered wiih operating coils for control from a mul-
tiple circuit as shown in Fig. ll or from a convenient sedes control circuit
as shown in Fig. 12. Operating characteristics are shown at the boiiom
of page 5.
The conlacis are actuated by a double coil solenoid which al{ords
excellent force power characieristics lor the swiich with either the mulliple
or series solenoid design. The contacts are locaied under the switch
mechanism and more than 10 inches below the recommended oil level.

Type CP oil switches are for remote control only, but
lhe Type CPM also includes an auxiliary hand lever for
emergency manual operation. Both types are supplied in
weatherprool tank complete with oil, and with hangers Ior
clossarm mounting or with bGcket Ior wall mounting.
The Type CPM switches specilied lor crossarm mounting
are standald with the auxiliary hand Iever on the pole side

type PC series open circuit protective relays

Type PC protective relays provide a necessary protection against the high voltage
hazard which develops when an oPen circuit Iaull occurs in a series lighting
circuit. The relays are insulated lor connection in consiani cufient series circuits
on which the open circuit does not exceed 8660 volts.
The Type PC relays are designed for use with a primary oil switch with Nohally
Open load contacts. An opeq circuit Iault in the series protecled circuit causes the
Type PC relay to de-enetgize the control circuit to the Primaiy oil switch The
sedes protected circuit is de-energized when the primary switch contacts open
A typical application lor use of the Type PC protective relay with the Type SPR
oil switch is shown Fig. 2 page 2. The control circuil rating for the Type PC relay
must be the same as the control circuit rating lor the primary switch

R-C-O C relays are used to obiain lemote control oI the ON and OFF operating
schedule for multiple roadway Iighting circuits. They are supplied in weaiherptool
enclosures. They are available in single and two pole designs, with the wide choice
ol current and voltage ralings shown in the ordering chart o4 page 9.
The operaiing coils are rated 120 volts 60 cycles, and may be energized by a
photoelectdc control, time switch, or cascade lrom a convenient circuit. Operating
characteristics are included in the chart on page 9.
Type MH reiays have Normally Open load contacts. The control citcuit must be
continuously energized to hold the load contacts closed. Type MRR relays have
normally closed load contacls. The conttol circuit musl be continuously energized
to hold the load coniacts open.
Al1 R-C-O-C multiple relays are designed and tested wilh lull consideration to the
requirements lor switching multipie citcuits to incandescent lamps or to ballasts
operating mercury or Iluorescent lamps. These relays include the operating and
construction Ieatures described on page ll. Petiodic mainlenance is noi required.
The impulse charactedsiics ol the built-in lightning arrester are coordinaled with the

R C-O-C Type MR multiple relays are available with a

receptacle {or a Phoioelectdc control to oblain automatic
switching of the ON OFF schedule jor multiple roadway
lighting circuits. These relays are supplied in weather-
proof enclosures with a ]ocking type receptacle in the top
case wall which meels ihe requilements oJ EEI Slandard
TD'148 for the unit conlrol. The photoelectric control is
not included with the relay.
These relays are available in single pole and two pole
designs wiih load coniact ralings as shown in the order'
inq charl on page I2. The Type MR relay load contacts are
Normally Open when the 120 voll 60 cycle oPeraiing coil
is de-energized. The photoelectric control used with ihese
relays musl continuously energize the operating coil
during the ON schedule.
The usual insiallation oI the multiPle relay with a recep-
tacle lor a photo contlol will have connections io over
head circuits. Since the load and line connections have
exposure to lightning surges, the relays io the ordering
charl on page 12 are specilied to include the buillin light-
ning arester. The buiil_in alrestel provides alternate
breakdown paths with multiple gaps in series. The im
pulse charactetistics of the arrestel are coordinated with
the insulation level o{ the operating coil.
The relay mechanism is designed with special consid'
eralion to the requirements for switching outdoor lightinq
loads as described on Paqe ll.
