RRS-1 – Universal Remote Racking System (Rotary)
The CBS ArcSafe® RRS-1 is a universal remote racking system capable of remotely installing and removing rotary style draw
out circuit breakers without requiring any modification to the existing switchgear. Operation of the simple to use RRS-1 is
quite intuitive and requires only minimal setup. When used properly, the RRS-1 allows technicians to remain outside of the
arc flash boundary during the potentially dangerous racking operation.
RRS-2 – Universal Remote Racking System (Non-Rotary)
The CBS ArcSafe® RRS-2 is a universal remote racking system capable of remotely installing and removing non-rotary style
draw out circuit breakers without requiring any modification to the existing switchgear. Operation of the simple to use
RRS-2 is quite intuitive and requires only minimal setup. When used properly, the RRS-2 allows technicians to remain
outside of the arc flash boundary during the potentially hazardous racking operation.
RRS-3 – Application Specific Remote Racking System (Rotary And Non-Rotary)
The CBS ArcSafe® RRS-3 product line is made up of various application specific remote breaker racking devices. Each
standalone system allows service personnel to remotely install and remove a particular type of circuit breaker safely while
stationed safely outside of the arc flash boundary during the potentially dangerous operation. The lightweight and compact
design of the RRS-3 systems makes them ideal for hard to access areas where space is at a premium.
RRS-4 – PLC Based Universal Remote Racking System (Rotary)
The CBS ArcSafe® RRS-4 universal remote racking system is an updated PLC based version of the best selling RRS-1. The
dual mode, source programmable, PLC based control system offers two different operating modes to choose from based on
user preference or the application. The RRS-4 is capable of remotely installing and removing rotary style draw out circuit
breakers without requiring any modification to the existing switchgear, allowing users to remain outside of the arc flash
boundary during the potentially hazardous racking operation.
RSA – Remote Switch Actuator
The CBS ArcSafe® Remote Switch Actuator (RSA) product line is made up of various application specific remote operating
devices. These products allow service personnel to remotely perform all aspects of an operation for a particular type of
electrical equipment from outside the arc flash boundary – reducing or eliminating the possibility of serious injury or death
resulting from an arc flash.
RSO – Remote Switch Operator
During a remote operation, the CBS ArcSafe® RSO functions as both the power supply and user interface for the device
being remotely operated by the user. When paired with an applicable CBS ArcSafe® device, this portable standalone
system allows service personnel to remotely perform a racking or switching procedure from outside the arc flash
boundary – reducing or eliminating the possibility of injury or death resulting from an arc flash
RSA-112Installation and Operation 1
1 Installation
DANGER!
Before servicing any breaker, make sure that it matches the breaker discussed. If the breaker
does not match the breaker described above, please call CBS ArcSafe® for more information.
ATTENTION!
The location of certain items such as mimic bus, stickers, and/or placards may interfere with
the proper installation of the RSA. Please remove or re-position these items before installing
the RSA.
1. Ensure that the breaker to be operated is free from obstructions that may interfere with proper
installation of the RSA
2. If your breaker handle travels 135° or more, position the breaker’s charging handle to its lower left
position, as shown on the left, by pulling the handle out and rotating it counter-clockwise until just
before vertical then push the handle in to activate the stop.
If your breaker handle only travels 90°, position the handle to the upper left position, as shown on
the right.
The handle adapter on the RSA can be manually rotated to match the breaker handle position as
needed. The switch-gear handle and the RSA’s handle adapter must both touch the counter-
clockwise stop before operations can be performed.
RSA-112Installation and Operation 2
3. Place the RSA over the handle on the breaker. Ensure that the actuator arm is fully seated in the
handle actuator on the RSA, and that the cabinet locators (shown below) are fully seated against the
switch-gear, and around the breaker as indicated.
4. Ensure the button actuators are positioned properly over the Close and Trip buttons on the front of
the breaker.
5. Ensure the magnets are fully seated against the switch cover and then turn the handles of the twist-
lock magnets 180° to lock the RSA in place.
The RSA is now ready for operation.

2 Operation
ATTENTION!
Please ensure that all cables are clear of moving parts. Failure to do so may result in damage
to cables and/or actuator.
ATTENTION!
Please ensure that the batteries to the RSO-IIID are fully charged or that the unit is plugged
into AC power.
For detailed instructions on the operation of the RSO-IIID please see the RSO-IIID Manual.
1. Ensure that the RSA is properly installed. See the Installation
Section for detailed instructions.
2. Connect the cables from the RSO-IIID to the RSA.
3. Turn the power switch on the RSO-IIID to the ON position.
4. Program the settings for the RSA into the RSO-IIID, if applicable.
These settings will be found on a placard on the RSA. For more
information on programming the RSO-IIID please refer to the
RSO-IIID Technical Manual.
5. NOTE: Depending on the breaker model, the travel distance on
the charging arm may be different than the factory settings. See
the Adjustments section for instructions to reset the travel stops
and travel times on the RSA if needed.
6. Ensure that the Auto-Retract (AR) function is set according to the
instructions on the setting placard on the RSA. For detailed
information on the AR function see the RSO-IIID instruction
manual
6. Exit the arc flash boundary
7. Once the timers have been properly set press the
CHARGE/CLOSE button to actuate the switch arm and charge
the breaker mechanism.
8. Press the CLOSE button to close the breaker.
9. Press the TRIP button to trip the breaker.
10. Remove the RSA when operation is complete
RSA-112Installation and Operation 5
3 Adjustments
The RSA comes adjusted from the factory to fit most common configurations, and should not need to be
adjusted in most cases. However, if adjustments do need to be performed, it is recommended that they be
done on de-energized and isolated equipment to prevent possible damage or injury.
3.1 Travel Limits
The FPE H/HL breakers come from the factory a variety of charging arm configurations. As such, the RSA can
be configured to accommodate these variations.
Before Making Travel Adjustments…
Note that the RSA comes from the factory with a specialized travel configuration. Observe the following
diagram below.
When charging the breaker, the motor handle will not return to its starting position. This is done to prevent
the motor arm from pushing the solenoid bracket away from the CLOSE and TRIP buttons.
1. Loosen the bolt holding the upper travel stop peg in place, as indicated below.
RSA-112Installation and Operation 6
2. Install the breaker, as described in the Installation section of this manual.
3. Next, re-adjust the upper motor arm travel stop, as follows:
4. Slide the travel stop peg away from the charging arm as far as possible.
5. Actuate the charging handle (manually, or by jogging with the the RSO) until the handle reaches full
travel and the breaker is fully charged.
6. Slide the upper travel stop peg back towards the charging arm until it contacts the motor arm, as
indicated below.
7. With the hard travel stop adjusted, next adjust the travel time on the RSO-IIID.
Turn on and connect the RSO-IIID.
8. Using a stopwatch or other timer, press and hold the JOG button and record the time in seconds it takes
the motor arm reach the upper hard travel stop. This will be the new T1 and T2 setting on the RSO-IIID.
9. Discharge the breaker mechanism.
10. Manually reset the charging handle arm to it’s resting location
11. Enter the new time recorded before as both T1 and T2 on the RSO-IIID.
12. Press the CHARGE/CLOSE button on the RSO-IIID and verify that the breaker charges correctly.
13. Adjust times up or down to ensure that the operator handle makes contact with the hard travel stops
before the RSO-IIID stops the operation, and that the RSO-IIID does not run the RSA for more than 1
second with the arm against the stop.
14. Write down the new T1 and T2, and keep these with the RSA. Adjustment is now complete.

3.3 Trip Solenoid Adjustment
14. Loosen the bolt on the bottom of the left solenoid arm, as indicated below
15. Slide or rotate the arm as required to align the close solenoid to the close lever, without contacting
the fixed plate next to the lever.
Re-tighten the bolt.
