7. Maintaining the PXR trip unit

Check to ensure the battery icon is showing full remaining 
life in the lower right of the display.
The 3 V lithium battery (CR 2032) is easily removed and 
replaced; pull to remove the battery tray, remove the old 
battery from the holder, replace with new one (observe 
proper polarity as marked on the tray), and then re-insert the 
battery tray into the slot on the frame module.  Accidentally 
installing the battery in the reverse direction will not harm 
the battery nor the trip unit but will defeat the function of the 
battery.  Remember to press the reset button and check the 
battery icon in the display.

7.4 Changing the breaker rating
Magnum PXR circuit breakers are pre-configured at the 
factory for their In rating.  The I
n
 rating is printed in the lower 
right corner of the frame module.  A licensed feature of 
the PXPM software allows you to modify the rating within 
an allowed range based on the breaker construction and 
certification.  Order kit PXPM-SW-PXRIN-KIT-1 to obtain the 
license and new rating labels.  You can purchase this online 
by navigating to www.eaton.com/PXPM and clicking Get 
Licensed Today.
You are responsible to ensure that any rating change is 
appropriate for the application and settings specified by 
the engineer responsible for the installation.  Protection 
settings are based on the I
n
 rating and affect the time-current 
response of the breaker.  Modification of the rating requires 
re-evaluation of the circuit breaker’s protection settings and 
the system coordination to ensure proper application.
To change the current rating (I
n
) on the circuit breaker using 
PXPM, start the application and click on the Device Settings 
icon.  Then click the Change Rated Current (I
n
) icon and you 
will see the screen shown in Figure 26.  Select an available 
rating from the drop down.  After you apply the new rating, 
remember to apply the correct label from the kit.
