  • Page 18: Fuse Protection

    Installation and Wiring Fuse Protection The IntelliVAC module requires external fuse protection to coordinate with the power supply and contactor. The fuse ratings shown in Table 3.A allow the passage of inrush currents expected when the contactor is closed, or from recommended external capacitors for the TDUV option.

  • Page 19: Connections

    Installation and Wiring Connections There are three green connectors on the IntelliVAC module for connections to the control circuitry. Connector plugs are provided with the module. If additional plugs are required, refer to Chapter 6, Spare parts. Control Power The IntelliVAC can accept either AC or DC control power. Refer to Table 1.A for acceptable input power and control signal ratings.

    Installation and Wiring 3-11 Two-Wire Control If using two-wire control, the CLOSE contactor input is maintained high using a single contact. Momentarily opening this input will cause the IntelliVAC to open the contactor. Maintaining the contact will provide a CLOSE command to IntelliVAC (given that all permissives are satisfied).

  • Page 26: Wiring Guidelines Mechanically Latched Contactors

    Installation and Wiring 3-14 IntelliVAC control may be used for mechanically latched contactors. Wiring Guidelines A momentary control signal is needed to close the contactor, and a Mechanically Latched second momentary control signal is needed to open the contactor. Contactors The momentary open/close commands must be at least 50 milliseconds in duration.

  • Page 27: Mechanically Latched Contactors

    Installation and Wiring 3-15 Mechanically Latched Capacitor Trip Contactors The IntelliVAC can be configured to provide capacitor trip functionality with mechanically latched contactors. A capacitor must be connected to the IntelliVAC (terminals #1 and #2) in order to provide this capability. The capacitor provides control power for the IntelliVAC as well as stored energy to trip the contactor.

  • Page 29: Motor Jogging Control

    Installation and Wiring 3-17 Motor Jogging Control When used with electrically held contactors, the IntelliVAC allows close commands every six seconds. This is to ensure the rated contactor duty cycle of 600 operations per hour is not exceeded. For motor jogging operations, the second control input, or OPEN command, will close the contactor for as long as the input is present, and open the contactor when the input is removed.

  • Page 30: Time Delay Undervoltage

    Installation and Wiring 3-18 Time Delay Undervoltage The IntelliVAC can be configured to provide time delay undervoltage (TDUV) protection. The feature is available to keep electrically held contactors closed during a voltage dip or brief power loss. This option may require the addition of a capacitor (see below). Refer to Chapter 6 for typical capacitor sizing.

  • Page 31: Intellivac Configuration

    Chapter Setup and Commissioning IntelliVAC Configuration The IntelliVAC module is configured for a specific application by setting DIP switches. They are accessed by loosening the two screws on the front of the unit, and removing the cover by sliding it forward.
  • Page 32 Available with IntelliVAC using version 2.001 firmware or newer. By-pass contactors in MV SMC applications must be set for 50 millisecond drop-out time.

  • Page 33: Introduction

    Chapter Monitoring and Troubleshooting Introduction The IntelliVAC module has two light emitting diodes (LEDs) and relay outputs to indicate the status of the contactor and the module. The LEDs are visible on the front of the module and the relay outputs are accessed on the bottom front of the module.

  • Page 34: Contactor Status

    Monitoring and Troubleshooting Contactor Status The Contactor Status is indicated with a yellow LED that is off until a CLOSE command is received. The LED will stay on if the contactor closes properly, until the contactor is opened. Contactor Status output relay has a normally open contact. The contact is open when the contactor is open (LED off), and closed when the contactor has received a close command (for 200 milliseconds) or if it is closed (LED on).
