Static 
Trip 
lll trip units with the 
"-TZ" 
suff 
ix 
are capable of being
connected 
together into a zone interlocking  system, Zone
interlock expanders 
and couplers  are used for connections
between 
Static 
Trip Ill 
trip units. 
Multiplexer/Translators 
are
used 
for 
connections between 
Static 
Trip I I 
units 
and 
Sentron
Series 
molded 
case or SB insulated  case circuit breakers  with
zone interlocking 
capability 
(for 
additional

Zone lnterlock 
Expanders
Two zone 
interlock expander  models  are available  for use
with 
Static 
Trip lll 
units to connect a single upstream circuit
breaker  to multiple 
downstream circuit breakers. One 
model
includes 
a cable for direct connection  to the upstream trip
unit's sub 
"D" 
connector; a second  version 
provides 
for 
addi-
tional inputs  from 
downstream  trip units. 
Each 
expander 
has
6 optically-isolated  input 
channels 
for 
connection 
to down-
stream 
trip units Each expander  also includes  a set of 
paralle
output terminals for connecting  the zone interiock signa to
an expander  farther 
upstream. 
No 
external 
power 
supply 
is
req u ired.

Coupler
The zone interlock  coupler is used to connect 
a single trip unit
jnto 
a zone interlock system, and 
includes a cable 
for 
direct
connection to the trip unit's 
sub 
"D" 
connector. 
The coupler
also 
has 
one 
optically-isolated input and one output 
channel.
The input channel  may be used to connect 
to another coupier
associated 
with 
a downstream 
trip unit. The output channel
may 
be used to drive 
up to two upstream  coupler 
or expander
input channels  connected 
in 
parallel. 
No external 
power 
sup-
ply 
is required.

Sealable 
Transparent 
Cover
The 
transparent  cover 
is used to help 
prevent 
tampering 
with
the 
overcurrent 
protection 
adlustments. 
The cover is held 
in
place 
over 
the face of the trip unit with two screws, 
Holes 
in 
the
screws allow the cover to be secured 
in 
place 
with 
a 
wire and
lead 
seal. 
When the cover is in 
place, 
the overcurrent 
protection
adjustments 
are nor accessib'e.
