Series E to Series F with the inclusion of mechanical vacuum bottle braces. Electrically held and mechanically latched IntelliVAC controlled contactors were moved from Series E to Series F with the inclusion of mechanical vacuum bottle braces. Rockwell Automation Publication 1502-UM060A-EN-P - October 2020...
The standard electrically held contactor requires an external 120V AC or 240V AC control relay and rectification circuit to control the standard DC closing and hold-in coils on the contactor (see Figure 19). Rockwell Automation Publication 1502-UM060A-EN-P - October 2020...
The electromechanical relay controlled mechanical latch contactor requires external 120V AC or 230V AC control relays and rectification circuit to control the standard DC closing and trip coils on the contactor (when IntelliVAC control module is not used). See Figure Rockwell Automation Publication 1502-UM060A-EN-P - October 2020...
Chapter 1 Product Description WARNING: The Rockwell Automation® relay control panel (1503C-XXX or 1503E-CXXX) is required for reliable operation of the contactor within its published specifications. The relays break the DC current that is drawn by the closing coil, holding coil, and trip coil. The relays make sure the pick-up and drop out voltages are coordinated with the pick- up and drop out voltages of the contactor.
Chapter 1 Product Description Catalog Number The following catalog number explanation is used to identify the contactor and must be used when contacting your local Rockwell Automation sales office for Explanation assistance. 1502 – – Contactor Type and Interlock Contactor Size...
V DC: 5.5 A , 200 ms Trip current Trip voltage (1) Control voltage, as measured at the input of the IntelliVAC control module or the primary voltage to the pilot relay control circuit. Rockwell Automation Publication 1502-UM060A-EN-P - October 2020...

(1) A contactor drop-out delay may be configured with the IntelliVAC control module, publication 1503-UM060. (2) Control/Pilot relay, other than the standard Rockwell Automation Control Panel assembly (1503C-E4_ or 1503C-M4D), must provide a constant closing signal for at least this period of time. The use of control components other than Rockwell Automation products is not recommended and may pose reliability concerns.
Push the armature plate and rotating shaft to verify that the mechanism is in good working order. • Inspect the contactor for dirt, stray or loose hardware, tools, or metal chips. Vacuum if necessary. Rockwell Automation Publication 1502-UM060A-EN-P - October 2020...
If no breakdown occurs in the second test, the vacuum bottle is in an acceptable condition. ATTENTION: If one vacuum bottle fails, Rockwell Automation recommends replacing all three vacuum bottles, if the unit has been in service.
If this value is more than 2 mA, it must be added to the 5 mA limit when testing the vacuum bottles. Rockwell Automation does not recommend a DC Hi-pot test. The values that are obtained during the test are not a reliable indication of vacuum bottle integrity.

Tool Requirements Some components of this product incorporate imperial hardware. IMPORTANT Rockwell Automation recommends the use of the appropriate tools to complete the maintenance procedure on these components. If you cannot obtain such tools, contact your Rockwell Automation sales office.
When any part of the wear indicator line, located on the front side of the shaft, moves up into the bearing, replace all three vacuum bottles (Figure 20). Figure 20 - Vacuum Bottle Wear Indicator Vacuum Bottle Bearing Wear indicator line on operating shaft Rockwell Automation Publication 1502-UM060A-EN-P - October 2020...
Do not grease the armature shaft plastic bearings. These bearings are self-lubricating and do not require grease. Vacuum Bottle Rockwell Automation does not recommend that the vacuum bottles be replaced in the field. If the vacuum bottles need to be replaced, remove and Replacement return the entire vacuum contactor to Rockwell Automation for refurbishment.
