INDICATING INSTANTANEOUS TRIP (liT
The core screw must be adjusted to the va lue of
Pick-up c urrent desired.
The nameplate data will furnish the actual cur
rent range that may be obtained from the liT unit .
I NSTAL LATION
The relays should be mounted on switchboard
panels or their equivalent in a location free from dirt ,
moisture , excessive vibration and heat.
relay vertically by means of the mo unting stud for the
type

mounting holes on the flange for the semi-flush type
FT cas e. Either the stud or the mounting screws may
be utilized for grounding the relay.
connections may be made directly to the terminals by
means of scre ws for steel panel mounting or to the
terminal stud furnished with the relay for thick p anel
mounting.
The terminal stud may be easily removed
or inserted by locking two nuts on the stud and then
turning the proper nut with a wrench.

ADJ U S TM E NTS AND MAI N T E NANCE
The proper adjustme nts to insure correct opera
tion of this relay have been made at the factory. Upon
rece ipt of the relay no c ustomer adjustme nts , other
than
those covered under "SETTINGS" should be
required.
ACC EPTANCE CHECK
The following check is recommended to insure
that the relay is in proper working order:
1.
CONTACTS
a) By turning the time dial , move the moving con
t acts until t h ey defl ect the stationary contact
to a position where the st ationary contact is
resting against its backstop . The index mark
located on the movement frame shoul d coincide
with the "0" mark on t he time dial.
b) For relays ide ntified with a "T" , l ocated at
lower l eft of statio nary contact b lock , the index
mark on the movement frame wi l l coincide with
the ' ' 0 ' ' mark on the time dial when the station
ary contact has moved through approximately
1 4
one-half of its normal defl ection. Therefore ,
with t h e stationary c ontact resting against t he
backstop , the index mark is offs et to the r ight of
the
p l acement of the various time dial positions in
line with t h e i ndex mark will give op erating
times as shown on the respective time-cur rent
curves.
For typ e C0- 1 1 rel ay only, the 1 . 30 times tap

3. TIME CURVE
Table I s hows the time curve calibration points
for the various type s of relays. With the time dial set
t o the indicated position , apply the currents speci
fied by Table I, ( e . g. for the CQ- 2 , 3 and 20 time s
tap value current) and measure the operating time of
the relay.
Table I plus or minus 5 percent.

The de-ion contactor switch should operate with
a minimum of 4 amperes a-c applied.
