Mounting Instructions 
According to the Cooper (McGraw-Edison) Voltage Regulator Instruction Manual (S225-10-10, 
12/00), the control panel may be removed while the voltage regulator is energized. 
 
Removing the Cooper Control Panel 
Follow the Cooper (McGraw-Edison) instruction manual for removing the control panel, which 
should include, but is not limited to the following steps. 
1)  Make sure the Cooper control panel is not in the process of changing the tap 
position. 
2)  Turn supervisory switch to OFF, turn Auto/Remote-Off-Manual switch to OFF, wait 
10 seconds. 
3)  Turn control panel power (Internal-Off-External Switch) to the OFF position. 
4)  Remove all fuses from the Cooper control panel. 
5)  Unscrew the thumbscrews holding the Cooper control panel in place, and swing the 
control panel outward. 
6)  Close (push in) the current shorting switch “C” located at the back of the control 
panel enclosure.  This shorts out the secondary of the regulator CT.  
 
Warning!  Push the C shorting switch closed before attempting to disconnect 
the control.  Failure to do so will open the regulator CT circuit and may produce 
a flashover in the control. 
 
7)  Open (pull out) the disconnect switch “V1” (and “V6” if present).  These switches are 
located at the back of the control panel enclosure.  This de-energizes terminal 
board “TB2”. 
8)  Disconnect the control from the back panel at “TB2” (located at bottom of Cooper 
control enclosure). 
9)  Disconnect the control ground lead from the back of the Cooper control enclosure. 
10) Remove the Cooper control panel from the hinges and set the control panel aside.
