Product Information
The Operator Adapter SQDC is designed for use with Square D
Bulletin 9422 Flexible Cable Operating Mechanisms. It is used in
conjunction with disconnect switches and circuit breakers mounted
in Hoffman disconnect enclosures. The adapter comes with a
comprehensive parts list, including the necessary screws, washers,
and other components.
Product Usage Instructions
- Step 1: Install the mounting plate (item 1)
and plate gasket (item 2) on the inside of the enclosure, behind
the rectangular opening provided. Make sure the gasket side with
PSA (Pressure Sensitive Adhesive) is attached to the adapter plate.
Secure in place using four screws (item 3) and four nylon washers
(item 14). - Step 2: Remove the Square D stiffener bracket
that is typically installed inside the enclosure flange, behind the
operating handle. - Step 3: Assemble the Square D operating handle
and cable handle mechanism to the mounting plate installed in step
1. Do not use the cap screw and lockwasher that fit into the bottom
hole of the Square D operating handle. - Step 4: Modify the slide arm (item 4) only if
it is being installed in an enclosure with a disconnect on the
centerpost. Cut 2.5 inches off the bottom end of the slide arm,
ensuring that only the bottom end with rectangular holes is
removed. - Step 6: Attach the bottom of the slide arm
(item 4) to the offset arm of the lock release mechanism. Use two
flat washers (item 8), two lockwashers (item 9), and two hex nuts
(item 10). Do not tighten these parts until the adjustment is
complete (see step 7B). - Step 7: The handle safety lock release
mechanism is adjustable. Please refer to the detailed instructions
provided in the user manual for adjusting this mechanism.
Note: It is important to ensure that the function, fits, and
clearances of all equipment are checked both before and after
installation to guarantee proper and safe operation, as well as
compliance with applicable codes, standards, and regulations. In
case of any issues or non-compliance, do not attempt to make
alterations or operate the equipment. Contact Hoffman Customer

INTRODUCTION
This installation instruction is for Square “D” Bulletin 9422 (flexible cable) mechanisms. These mechanisms are for disconnect switches and circuit breakers mounted in Hoffman disconnect enclosures.
INSTALLATION STEPS
Step 1 Install mounting plate (item1) and plate gasket (item 2) on the inside of the enclosure, behind the rectangularopening provided. Gasket side with PSA should be attached to the adapter plate. Secure in place with four screws (item 3) and four nylon washers (item 14).
Step 2 Discard the Square “D” stiffener bracket which is normally installed inside the enclosure flange, behind the operating handle.
Step 3 Assemble the Square “D” operating handle and cable handle mechanism to the mounting plate which was installed in the enclosure in step 1. Omit cap screw and lockwasher which fits into bottom hole of Square “D” operating handle.
Step 4 Modify slide arm (item 4) only if it is being installed in an enclosure with disconnect on centerpost. (cut 2.5 inches off the bottom end of slide arm. Bottom end has rectangular holes only)
Step 5 Install the slide arm (item 4) over the projecting part of the handle assembly (on Square “D” operating handle) with notch toward door opening, as shown. Place the smaller diameter end of the shoulder collar (item 5) through the oval slot in the slide arm. Install long cap screw (item 6) with lockwasher (item 7) through shoulder collar into the bottom mounting hole of the Square “D” operating handle and tighten. The slide arm and interlock arm should move up and down smoothly. Install locking lever extension (Square “D” part) per Square “D” instructions.
Step 6 Attach the bottom of the slide arm (item 4) to the offset arm of the lock release mechanism. Use two flat washers (item 8), two lockwashers (item 9), and two hex nuts (item 10). Do not tighten until parts are adjusted. (see step 7B)
Step 7 The handle safety lock release mechanism is adjustable.
(A) Check the adjustment of the factory installed roller bracket on enclosures with disconnect on right flange. The door latch should hit against the latch stop portion of the roller bracket when the door is closed and latched. Adjust up or down if necessary. The attached mechanism will then provide the necessary up-down motion required to operate the release mechanism.
(B) Adjust the length of the slide arm assembly. With proper adjustment of the slide arm, the safety lock(on Square “D” handle operator) should release just before the master door is fully latched. Lengthen slide arm if safety lock releases too soon. Shorten slide arm if safety lock releases too late.
Step 8 Attach the door catch (item 11), provided by Hoffman, to the tapped spacer on the door using the bottom set of mounting holes. Use two screws (item 12) and lockwashers (item 13). The door catch prevents the door from being opened when the switch is in the “ON” position.
Step 9 Drill and tap holes in panel per Square “D” insructions. See Square “D” instructions for locating holes.
Step 10 Mount switch or circuit breaker using Square “D” instructions and parts.
