Motor Saver SYMCOM'S MOTORSAVER 455 Installation Instructions

BE SURE POWER IS DISCONNECTED PRIOR TO INSTALLATION!
FOLLOW NATIONAL, STATE AND LOCAL CODES.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS ENTIRELY BEFORE INSTALLATION.
The Model 455, 3-phase, 190-480VAC voltage monitor combines line and load-side monitoring to
alert the user of contactor failure. Line-side monitoring will protect the motor from damaging power
conditions including high and low voltage, voltage unbalance, single-phasing, phase reversal and
rapid cycling. The Model 455 is now equipped with an infrared LED to communicate with the
hand-held diagnostic tool—Informer MS Edition—to display trip points, real-time data, and the
last 20 faults and 32 motor starts. Motor run hours, also displayed by the Informer MS, can
now be reset on the 455.

CONNECTIONS

1. Mount the MotorSaver
wet or dusty, it should be mounted in a NEMA 4 or 12 enclosure.
2. Connect L1, L2, and L3 on the MotorSaver
3. Connect M1, M2 and M3 to the power lines on the LOAD SIDE of the motor starter.
NOTE: If a 2-pole contactor is used, jump the hard-wired line from the L side terminal (the wire not
connected through the contactor) to its corresponding M terminal.
If load-side protection is not desired, connection to the M terminals is not required—the
Model 455 will operate as a line side only voltage monitor in this configuration.
4. Connect the output relay to the circuitry to be controlled. Connect the normally open contact in
series with the magnetic coil of the motor starter as shown in Figure 1.
