CAUTION: The default setpoint as shipped from the factory is

not intended to be suitable for any parcular machinery appli-

caon. Each applicaon requires that the setpoint be careful-

ly eld adjusted for the specics of your machine as outlined in Secon

4.2 below. Failure to adjust the setpoint in this manner constutes a

misuse of the product and may lead to ineecve machinery protecon

resulng in extensive machinery damage and personnel injury.

up and rotate it to an upside down posion as shown in Figure 12. As the switch reaches

the 180-degree posion, you should hear an audible “click” indicang it has snapped to its

tripped state. If the device does not trip, turn the setpoint adjustment screw approximately

1/16th turn CCW and repeat the above procedure. Connue adjusng in 1/16th CCW turn

increments unl the unit trips when turned from right side up to upside down. When per-

forming this vericaon on the Model 5550G, it is recommended that you leave the cover

o. The presence or absence of the cover does not aect the setpoint during the vericaon

process and ensures the cover does not have to be repeatedly removed and reinstalled to

adjust the setpoint and reset the trip plate. However, never remove the cover with ener-

gized wiring connected – remove power before opening cover.

NOTE: If the switch will not

reset, adjust the setpoint screw

1/8th turn CW and press the

reset buon. Repeat this pro-

cedure, adjusng 1/8th of a turn each

me, unl the device can be reset.

While performing this procedure,

keep the device sing on a at sur-

face with the cover side facing up.

4.2 In-Situ Setpoint Adjustment

The setpoint adjustment is accessible externally on the model 5550 (see Figure 3). For model

5550G, the lid must be removed. Follow the steps below to adjust the setpoint for the par-

culars of your machine.

4.2.1 Verify the factory setpoint as described in 4.1 above. Then, rotate the adjustment

screw one full turn (360 degrees) clockwise and proceed to step 4.2.2.

4.2.2 Install the switch on the machine following the guidelines of secon 3. Ensure

the eld wiring is disconnected. If it has already been connected, disconnect temporarily,
