General remarks
Practical experience has shown that strict adherence to the recommendation of this instruction manual
will ensure the best possible safe performance of the equipment.
In an instruction manual it is not possible to cover every possible eventuality that might occur when using
technical apparatus. It is, therefore, requested that all incidences, in particular, those for which the
instruction manual provides no plausible explanation, be reported to us directly or through our local
representatives.
These instructions are based on the present technical design. We reserve the right to make any technical
changes without prior notice.
We cannot accept any responsibility for damage resulting directly from incorrect handling or operation
irrespective of whether specific reference is to be found in the instructions for erection and operation or
not.
With respect to this document we reserve all rights also in the event of a patent being issued and
registration being made under other commercial rights. Misuse, in particular copying and handling over to
third parties is prohibited and offenders can be prosecuted under civil and criminal law.

Design
Manual Operating mechanism type HA31-80 are designed for outdoor installation and used for operation
of high-voltage disconnectors and earth switches.
All components of the operating mechanism are installed in a polyurethane painted aluminium housing
(12) with a door (12a) at the front.
The Control components are attached to a mounting plate (4) and wired to the Terminal Strip (5).The
length of the Terminal strip support is designed to accommodate the Maximum equipment configuration. A
clearance of about 10 cm is provided for connecting the control cables to the Terminal Strip.
The Basic Version includes the following:
-

An Auxiliary Switch with 4NO + 4NC contacts, Switching capacity of each contact is 2A at 220V DC, at
T=20 ms.

An Anti-condensation Heater with Switch.

All internal Wiring connections are done using 1.5 sqmm Flexible wires. Gray wires are used for DC
Circuit, Black Wires are used for AC circuit, and Green wire for Earthing Circuit.
All Auxiliary switch contacts are wired upto Terminals. The door and the housing are connected with Cable
(26) to earth connection and Angle for Earthing.
The Incoming and outgoing cables are passed from through a removable Gland Plate (9). An Angle for
Earthing (23) with 13 mm dia. Holes are provided for earthing. Cable Glands are not included in the
standard scope of delivery and must be provided by the customer.

Method of Operation
The manual operating mechanism is actuated by an operating lever (53), which can be blocked in both end
positions by a padlock as shown in Figure 1 ( to put a padlock, bolt shown in figure to be removed and
same hole can be used for padlocking)
The switching angle of the operating mechanism is 190. Pilot switches (3) are actuated by the control disc
(13) fitted to the operating shaft (10). The position signal meets the requirement of IEC Publication
IEC-62271-102, third edition and VDE standard 0670, Part 2.
The Optional blocking magnet (19) when de-energised prevents the manual operating mechanism from
being operated. In this case the manual lever (53) is not allowed to rotate.
Unauthorised opening of the door (12a) can be prevented by padlock on the door.

Transportation and storage

Each operating mechanism is specially packed before shipment.
As soon as the equipment arrives at destination, an inspection for damage in transit should be carried out
to find out the extent of damage, the cause of damage and if necessary, its originator. The damage report,
if any, should immediatelly be sent to the appropriate forwarding agency to be passed on to the
transportation insurance company.
The operating mechanism should be stored indoors. To maintain corrosion protection provided by the
special packing as long as possible the operating mechanism should be left in this packing until
installation is started.
In dry climate the duration for transportation and storage of the operating mechanisms must not exceed 6
months without heating. For longer times of storage or if there is danger of moisture condensation, the
heater has to be connected unless precautions was taken by appropriate packing or storage to prevent
moisture condensation.

7.

Installation
Every operating mechanism should be mounted in accordance with the mounting instructions for the unit
for which it is intended and relevant order bound drawings.
For direct attachment of the operating mechanisms to disconnectors or earthing switches designed for
wall mounting, special instructions, if supplied along with the unit, have to be observed. If the customer
decides at a later date to mount the equipments in this way, he should contact our sales department for
these instructions.
The interior parts of the operating mechanisms (e.g. auxiliary switches, blocking magnet, etc.) are not
resistant to the atmospheric conditions prevailing outdoors; therefore, care must be taken to ensure that
parts are not exposed to humidity during installation.
To avoid condensation, it is absolutely necessary to connect the heater (11). After installation the heater is
to be commissioned immediately even if the associated disconnectors and earthing switches have not yet
been commissioned.

Commissioning
Check the disconnectors or earthing switches for proper engagement according to the corresponding
service instructions.
Also check the auxiliary switch(es), (3) for proper contact make in the two end positions. Adjustments of
the auxiliary switches are to be made by specialised personnel only.
check blocking magnet (19) to make sure that its locking pin properly locks the click-stop pin (56), which
engages into the interlocking disc (54) when the magnet de-energised, and prevents rotation of the
manual operating lever (53). Check for correct functioning of the interlocking switch (51), i.e. the circuit
must be interrupted when the blocking magnet is de-energised.
Make sure that ventilating holes within the filter mesh (16) provided on supply lead plate are not plugged. If
the units are painted, keep the ventilating hole with filter, fee from paint.

Maintenance
The manual operating mechanism hardly needs any maintenance.
It is recommended to have an inspection carried out together with the inspection of the corresponding
disconnector or earthing switch after the first 5 years of operation, at the latest, however, after 1,000
make and break operations. The inspection intervals mentioned above apply to normal ambient
conditions. For extraordinary conditions (e.g. use in tropical climate or at excessively low temperatures or
heavy pollution) these intervals should be reduced by 50%.
The following details should be observed during inspection or random test :
a)

Stop electrical supply to disconnector and earthing switch. Care should be taken that heating circuit
and control voltage of the blocking magnet are disconnected.

b)

Observe IEC and national safety regulations.

c)

Carry out several test operations by hand.

d)

Check heating resistor (11) and thermostat (22) for proper functioning.

e)

Check auxiliary switch(es) (3) for proper contact make in both switching positions. Adjustments of
the auxiliary switch, if required, should only be made by specialists.

f)

Check proper functioning of blocking magnet (19) and interlock switch (51). For details see section 8.

g)

Check whether the control and signalling cable are properly fitted to all terminals.

h)

Check whether the movement is properly transmitted from the operating shaft (10) to auxiliary
switch (3) via control disc (13). If necessary, clean and grease the guides and running surfaces.

i)

Check for inadmissible ingress of foreign bodies and moisture.

k)

Clean filter insert of cable gland (16) in supply lead plate (9).

l)

Check gasket (21) of the door (12a) and replace, if necessary.

m)

After inspection, reconnect the heating circuit and the blocking magnet to the power supply.

Caution :-

Ensure that auxiliary switch elements position or orientation is not altered if it is removed for any
maintenance work. This is because it has built-in blow out magnet.

Ensure blocking magnet (if provided) is in disengaged position.

Cleaning of any plastic parts must be done with dry cloth only.
