TIME OVERCURRENT UNIT
Rotate the time dial slowly and check by means of a lamp that the contacts just close at the zero
time dial setting.
Where the contacts just close can be adjusted by running the stationary contact brush in or out
by means of its adjusting screw.
With the contacts just closing at No. 0 time setting, there should be sufficient gap between the
0
stationary contact brush and its metal backing strip to ensure approximately 1/32" wipe.
The minimum current at which the contacts will just close is determined by the position of the tap
screw in the tap block at the top of the relay.
When changing the current setting of the relay while in the case, remove the connection plug to short

The pickup of the unit for any current tap setting is adjusted by means of the variable resistor in
