WL Circuit Breaker selection and application guide
Bell alarm contact and reset coil
The bell alarm contacts are mechanically activated by the trip 
unit solenoid. If a breaker trip condition occurs, the bell alarm 
form-C contacts will change state closing or opening a user circuit 
wired to the secondary terminal block. The contacts can be locally 
reset to their original position by manually resetting the trip unit 
solenoid or through the use of a reset coil which can be energized 
remotely. See breaker wiring diagram for supply terminal locations.
Non-automatic (manual) reset trip units can not be used with the 
reset coil option.

Breaker accessories and options
Close coil
To remotely close the WL breaker, a close coil may be used with a 
momentary electrical source.  Only one close coil specific to the 
supply voltage can be used per breaker. Charging springs must be 
charged and breaker open prior to use of close coil. See breaker 
wiring diagram for supply terminal location.
Breaker push button lock-outs
If conscious use of the breaker close or open push button is 
required. A finger or hand tool shroud option can be added to 
the breaker front cover. Shrouds may be used in combination 
or like configuration. 
If push button lock-out is required. Transparent padlock covers 
for unauthorized or mechanical lockout can be installed in lieu 
of the shroud option. Two padlocks may be used with a latch 
diameter of 3/8 inch maximum (padlocks by others).
Racking handle key lock
A draw-out breaker can be key locked (optional) or padlocked 
(standard not shown) in three racking positions; connect, 
test or disconnect. Key lock cylinders are available in Kirk or 
Superior types and uniquely keyed.
