„ Retrofit Attachment
A retrofit attachment is required when replacing a CDBR-…………B model with a CDBR-…………D model because the
mounting dimensions differ. Refer to Table 7 for the dimension differences between CDBR-…………B and
CDBR-…………D.
When replacing a CDBR-…………B model with a 200 V or 400 V CDBR-…………D, use retrofit attachment code
100-066-354 (EZZ021710A).
When replacing a CDBR-…………B model with a 600 V CDBR-…………D, use retrofit attachment 100-066-478
(EZZ021710B).
Refer to Table 8 for dimensions of the retrofit attachments.
