B-LINE A2L6RPK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What circuit breaker frames does the Eaton Series G A2L6RPK alarm switch fit?
The A2L6RPK alarm switch is built for Eaton Series G molded case circuit breakers with an RG frame. If your breaker is a different Eaton frame size, this accessory is not the right internal accessory for it.
2) Which side of the breaker does the A2L6RPK alarm switch mount on?
Right-side mounting. That matters when you are adding more than one internal accessory to the same RG-frame breaker, since the right accessory pocket will be taken by this alarm switch and any second device has to go in the opposite pocket.
3) How many contacts does the A2L6RPK alarm switch give me, and how do I wire it?
Contact configuration is 2 MK-2 BK, so you get two sets of contacts to run to your alarm or monitoring circuit. Wiring is by pigtail leads, meaning there are no screw terminals on the device itself. Plan on splicing or landing the flying leads in a nearby terminal block or panel gutter.
4) What does an alarm switch on a molded case breaker actually do?
It signals a trip. The A2L6RPK is an alarm lockout accessory for Eaton Series G RG-frame breakers: when the breaker trips on a fault rather than being switched off by hand, the switch contacts change state so a remote panel, BAS point, or annunciator shows the fault. It is a monitoring device, not a bell or a shunt trip, and it does not switch load current.
5) Do I need an auxiliary switch as well as this alarm switch?
They do different jobs. The A2L6RPK reports a trip condition on an RG-frame Series G breaker. If you also need to know whether the breaker handle is simply on or off, that is an auxiliary contact and it is a separate accessory. Because this one takes the right-hand accessory position, a second device has to use the left position on the same breaker.
6) What exact part number should I order for an Eaton Series G right-mount alarm switch with pigtail leads?
Order Eaton/B-Line A2L6RPK. That is the full manufacturer part number for the Series G alarm switch kit, right-mount, pigtail leads, 2 MK-2 BK contacts, for RG-frame breakers. No suffixes or option codes to add.
7) How big is the A2L6RPK alarm switch kit, and will it add weight to my panel schedule?
The kit measures 4.8 x 4.2 x 4 inches and weighs half a pound, so it is essentially a small carton of parts. The switch itself installs inside the breaker's accessory pocket, so it does not change the breaker footprint or the space you need in the enclosure.
