1.5.7  Assembly and mounting 
Accessories such as auxiliary switches and surge suppressors can be mounted quickly and 
disassembled in just a few short steps. Standard tools are required to disassemble 
components only very rarely. Siemens offers a standardized tool (screwdriver 3RA2908-1A) 
for disassembling conductors from spring-loaded terminals on all SIRIUS Innovations 
products. 
1.5.8  Load feeders 
Link modules based on screw-type and spring-loaded connection systems are available for 
assembling device combinations and fuseless load feeders. The link modules establish the 
mechanical and electrical connections for the devices. Motor starter protectors can be 
combined with the following devices via link modules:  
●  Contactors 
●  Soft starter 
●  Solid-state switching devices 
The SIRIUS Innovations products now also offer a "plug-in connection system" for 
assembling load feeders from devices with spring-loaded terminals. Contactors, solid-state 
switching devices, and soft starters can be connected to the motor starter protector by simply 
plugging them in via a link module:
