Chapter Installation and Wiring Typical Connection Figure 2.7 shows a typical connection for standard control module. See page 3-2 for a description of the start sequence. Figure 2.7 - Typical Connection Diagram for Standard Unit SMC PLUS NOTE: For two wire control, remove stop/start Overload push buttons and connect two wire device Controller...
Chapter Installation & Wiring Typical Connection Figure 2.9 shows a typical connection diagram for use in a retrofit application. In for Retrofit this scheme, the controller provides control of the load when the electromechanical starter is energized. This method of controlling the load can be used in applications Application where the existing control scheme is to remain intact.

Chapter Installation and Wiring Typical Connection Figure 2.11 shows a typical connection diagram for use with a shunt trip circuit with Shunt Trip breaker. In this scheme, the electromechanical contactor is eliminated. The shunt trip circuit breaker provides automatic isolation from the main power lines during Circuit Breaker abnormal conditions and can also be used to provide a manual isolation from the main power lines.

Chapter Installation & Wiring Power Factor The controller can be installed on a system with power factor correction capacitors. Capacitors The capacitors must be located on the line side of the controller. This must be done to prevent damage to the SCRs in the SMC PLUS controller. When discharged, a capacitor has essentially zero impedance.

Chapter Set-up Procedures: SMP PLUS Controller without Options Protective Features During the “Starting” and “Running” modes, the controller’s microcomputer monitors the following conditions. If any of the conditions exist, the controller shuts down and lights the FAULT LED and the appropriate LED. The controller provides the following protection: Start Fault Temperature Fault...
Chapter Set-up Procedures: SMP PLUS Controller without Options Line Fault The line fault indicates an abnormal condition has been sensed in the line. Conditions which will cause line fault indications are phase loss, open motor lead and shorted SCR. If detected in either the “Starting” or “Running” modes, the controller trips and the FAULT and LINE LEDs light.
Chapter Set-up Procedures: SMP PLUS Controller without Options Fault Trips During the “Starting” and “Running” modes, the controller’s microcomputer monitors the following conditions. If any of the conditions exist, the controller shuts down, changes state of the auxiliary contacts, and turns on the FAULT LED and the appropriate LED.

Chapter Troubleshooting Control Module Remove all control wires. Removal Remove six screws as shown in Figure 4.5. Unplug control module from power modules by pulling forward. (continued) CAUTION: When removing control module make sure power module pins do not bend. Make sure pins are not bent prior to installing control module.
Chapter Troubleshooting Power Module Measure resistance between pins 2 and 3. Resistance should be less than 100 Resistance Check ohms. (continued) Measure resistance between pins 6 and 7. Resistance should be less than 100 ohms. Measure resistance between pins 4 and 5. Resistance should be less than 250 ohms.
