3MTM PanelSafeTM Lockout System
Lock in Safety with 3MPanelSafe
Lockout System
3M’s PanelSafe Lockout System mechanically prevents
the movement of breaker handles from the “off” position to
the “on” position with energy isolating lockout pins. With
PanelSafe, 3M is dedicated to helping you meet applicable
OSHA regulations, which require all electrical circuits to
be “locked out” prior to the servicing and maintenance of
machines, lighting and equipment. 3M PanelSafe Lockout
System complies with OSHA Standard 1910.147.
The unit, supplied with pre-drilled mounting holes, fastens
directly to the service panel dead-front using self-tapping
screws. The energy isolating lockout pins are stored in a
holding device also attached to the dead-front by means of
self-tapping screws, making the entire assembly and its
accessories completely contained behind the panel door.
Those authorized to perform a lockout function need only
carry their lock and tag.
A permanently installed
circuit breaker lockout
system, 3M PanelSafe is
designed with pre-spaced
slots that correspond to
the center point of the
service panel breaker
handles. The unit is
properly positioned when
the center of each pin slot
is aligned with the center
of each breaker handle.
Once installed, 3M
PanelSafe, which fits all
brands and models,
completely eliminates the
need for employees to constantly carry numerous lockout devices each designed to fit a
specific manufacturers panel and breaker type.
For the ultimate flexibility, a standard pin package includes both single-sided and
dual-sided pins for simultaneously locking off multiple circuits. Additionally, the
package contains a hook pin designed for use in situations where protecting against a
nuisance turn-off of dedicated or passive circuits is critical. Such applications may
include fire suppression systems, emergency lighting and computer systems.
The use of 3M PanelSafe will increase safety as well as help reduce costs.
In your b usiness,power,
technology and reliability
are essential. 3M delivers
that and more.

What is PanelSafe?
PanelSafe is a device, which is permanently mounted to the
dead front of a circuit breaker panel that allows individual
or multiple circuits to be locked off simultaneously.
Why is it important to lock off cir cuits?
OSHA, in its standard 1910.147, requires power to be
locked off at the power source any time routine
maintenance of equipment, lighting or machinery is being
performed. The procedure is called lockout/tagout.
How is PanelSafe attached to the dead front?
It should be attached using the self-tapping screws that are
provided (no shavings will fall into the panel). It is a good
practice to always turn off the power.
Will it fit all my panels or just the Square D
load center that I see in your literature?
It will fit any manufactured panel.
How can PanelSafe work on any panel?
It works based on the distance of the centers from breaker
handle to breaker handle. You start by measuring the
distance from the center of the top breaker to the center of
the breaker handle directly beneath it. Then you count the
number of breakers on one side of the panel. Using these
two measurements you are ready to order the proper unit.
Suppose the panel has a bead running down
the center keeping the PanelSafe unit from
laying flat?
On distribution panels (usually GE) where a raised, round
bead runs down the center of the dead front the slotted
shim (PS-SH2) must be used. It fits over the bead and
provides a flat surface on which to mount the PanelSafe
unit. These are available only in pairs.
I have ITE panels and they have a V notch
extending down the length of the dead front.
Can PanelSafe work on these units?
Yes, you would use the V-notch shim, PS-SH4 to make the
installation.
I have a destruction panel where the body of
each breaker extends out beyond the level of
the dead front. How do I r emedy that?
By using either PS-SH1, which is an 1/8" shim, or PS-SH3,
which is an 1/2" shim. This shim is used primarily on
Square D and some GE panels where the breaker is exposed
1/2" abov e the dead front. If either of these doesn’t work
then you may hav e to mak e a shim that will fit correctly.
Maintenance people should hav e no trouble figuring this out.
When are of fset brackets used?
They are used with a P anelSafe unit when break ers are
recessed below the dead front and no area is available to
mount a PanelSafe unit by standard means. Theses are only
available in pairs and are either 2" long (PS-OB1) or 3 1/2"
long (PS-OB2).
Suppose I can’t mount a PanelSafe unit down
the center of a panel.
This would probably occur because there is no center (only
the plastic breaker casing) or because the pins used to
secure the breaker in the off position will not reach the
breaker handle in the off position. These panels require
multiple PanelSafe units and in many, if not most cases,
offset brackets. The offset brackets, PS-OB1 or PS-OB2,
may be mounted to the rise on the outside of the panel.
The PanelSafe is then attached to the offset brackets.
Remember, if you are mounting the PanelSafe on offset
brackets, you will now need to Pull the breaker to the off
position because the unit is positioned to the outside of the
breaker handle. This requires that a hook pin (PS-HP) be
used. It would probably be wise to order an extra package
of hook pins when this situation occurs.
Can I lockout twin, half-size or piggyback
breakers?
Yes. Where twin or piggyback breakers are being used,
you should order PS-SP05. This pin allows you to lockout
either twin alone by simply rotating the pin 180° for either
the top or bottom breaker.
You mention in the literatur e that a cir cuit can
be secured “on”. Wher e would it make sense
to do that?
A circuit can be secured “on” when it is po wering something
that you don’t want inadv ertently turned of f. Examples w ould
be fire alarm systems, computer systems, runway lights at
airports, etc. Drug companies particularly like this feature
since they often ha v e experiments running that w ould be
rendered useless if the power w ould be turned of f.
If the circuit is secur ed “on”, will it trip?
Yes, it will still trip because the breakers trip internally.

Frequently A sked Questions
"
"
Determining the Correct 3M PanelSafe Unit
The first two digits correspond to the breaker spacing and
the last two digits correspond to the number of breaker slots.
Standard 3MPanelSafeUnit
A standard 3M PanelSafe unit varies in length, number
of slots, and covers according to part number required.
Each 3M PanelSafe unit is packaged to include: 1 pin
holder; 2 one way pins; 1 two way pin; 1 hook pin;
assembly screws and instruction sheet.
Step 1: Measure the distance between breaker
space center lines (1on diagram). Reference
chart 1 for first two digits of product numbers.
Step 2: Count the number of breaker spaces on
one side of the load center ( 2on diagram). These
are the last two digits of your product number.
Examples of various load centers:
3/4" spacing between breakers and 42 circuits = 07
(designation for 3/4") 21 (number of circuits down
one side of the load center). In this case, the part
number for the required unit is PS-0721.
1" spacing between breakers and 18 circuits = 10
(designation for 1") 09 (number of circuits down
one side of the load center). In this case, the part
number for the required unit is PS-1009.
