When a customer desires auxiliary switch or

alarm switch or switch contact configurations
not included in the standard kit offerings, the
3SB-adapter indicated in the table above may
be ordered along with the desired switches and
contact configurations as separate items:
1 HS or 1 AS with NO contact 3SB34 00-0J
1 HS or 1 AS with NC contact 3SB34 00-0K
1) Use only one switch from this kit (kit consists

of 1 NC and 1 NO contact switches).
2) Except for mounting into the left pole for Sen-
tron VL160X circuit-breaker with RCD module
and Sentron VL160, VL250 circuit-breakers
with electronic overcurrent release.
Bracket may be installed in N-pole (4-pole
circuit-breaker only) for this application only.
