When the P28 or P128 control is supplied with a
Terminal 3, it may be wired to operate a runlight for
indicating when there is sufficient net oil pressure.
When the control is supplied with a Terminal A, it
can be wired to operate a shutdown alarm or signal
for indicating when the compressor has tripped.
For applications using a 208V control circuit, it is
suggested that one leg of the 208V circuit and a
neutral or ground wire be used as a 120V source to
power the time delay relay.

When a P28 or P128 is installed on a 440 or 550
VAC system, use an external step-down transformer
to provide either 120 or 240V to the pilot and time
delay relay circuits. The transformer must be of
sufficient volt ampere capacity to operate the motor
starter and the time delay relay. Table 1 presents
the power requirements for the P28 or P128 time
delay relay. Table 2 presents the electrical ratings.
