Safety Information
Warning: Installation and maintenance should only be performed by qualified personnel. Disconnect all power before working on the device. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.
- Always ensure the main power supply is turned off and locked out before installation or servicing.
- Verify voltage and current ratings match your application requirements.
- Do not operate the switch if it appears damaged.
- Adhere to all local and national electrical codes.
Setup and Installation
- Mounting: The SD203/40 is designed for DIN rail mounting. Securely snap the device onto a standard 35mm DIN rail within an appropriate enclosure.
- Wiring:
- Connect the incoming power lines to the upper terminals (L1, L2, L3 for a 3-phase system).
- Connect the outgoing load lines to the lower terminals (T1, T2, T3).
- Ensure all connections are tight and secure to prevent loose contacts and overheating.
- Verify correct polarity and phase sequence if applicable.
- Verification: After wiring, double-check all connections for correctness and tightness. Ensure no bare wires are exposed.
Operating Instructions
The ABB SD203/40 features a clear red operating handle and a switch position indicator for intuitive control.
- To Turn ON: Push the red handle upwards to the "ON" position. The indicator will show the "ON" status.
- To Turn OFF: Pull the red handle downwards to the "OFF" position. The indicator will show the "OFF" status, providing a visible break.
- Lockout/Tagout: For maintenance or safety procedures, the switch can be locked in the "OFF" position using appropriate lockout devices (not included) to prevent accidental re-energization.
Maintenance
The SD203/40 is designed for minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks are recommended to ensure optimal performance and safety.
- Visual Inspection (Annually): Check for any signs of physical damage, discoloration, or overheating on the device and its terminals.
- Terminal Tightness (As Needed): Periodically verify that all terminal connections remain tight. Loose connections can lead to increased resistance and heat.
- Cleaning: If necessary, gently clean the exterior of the device with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Note: Any internal maintenance or repair should only be performed by authorized ABB service personnel.
