Please forgive any errors I commit here as this is my first post and this old man's not too comouter literate.
I have a Fire Suppression system similiar to an Ansul system. In the "control" box there is a mechanically operated micro-switch with two "fingers" that operate this switch manually when the system is tripped. Now coming off this micro-switch are 3 wires, a black and red = NO, and the red and brown = NC. Now I have a GE 20 amp 110v snap in shunt trip breaker that has 2 black wires on it. My question is, once the micro-switch is manually tripped, the shunt trip breaker is to trip, but I am unsure where the black, red and brown wires from the micro-switch go. I have tried hooking up the two wires from the breaker to both red and black and to red and brown and manually tripped the micro-switch and nothing happened. I know I am missing the boat here, can someone please steer me in the right direction? Two black wires from the breaker go where? and the Normally Open or Normally Closed wires go where? One must surely go to neutral, but I admit I am lost....Any help is surely appreciated to the utmost......Bob in central Florida
