Operation
• Intended for use with 3-Phase, 50/60Hz
• Accepts 208-600VAC +10%
• Short Circuit (RMS, Symmetrical)
Stand-Alone Overload Unit - 200 KAIC, 600V Max.
Standard Starter - See UL label on panel
Combination Starter - See UL label on panel
• Ambient Operating Temperature = -20°C to 60°C
• Ambient Storage Temperature = -40°C to 85°C
DANGER
• Ensure that all connections are properly torqued and enclosure is closed
prior to applying power to the device.
• Ensure all mechanical equipment operated by the starter is clear for safe
operation in case of starter activation.
• When in AUTO mode, starter may be activated remotely by the
control system
Operation Modes
HAND
Place the switch in the HAND position to manually engage motor.
OFF (RESET)
Place the switch in the OFF position to manually disengage the
motor. Additionally, the OFF position serves as a manual reset.
Place the switch in the OFF position for 5 seconds to reset the
starter after a fault trip.
AUTO
Placing the switch in the AUTO position will allow the starter to be
controlled by a remote Start/Stop command.
Setting Adjustments
Overload
Set the overload dial to the SFA amperage value listed on the
motor nameplate. If no amperage value for SFA is provided, set the
overload dial to the FLA listed on the motor nameplate.
Underload
For submersible motor applications, it is suggested that the dial be
set to 70% to protect against dry-run condition.
I/O Descriptions
TERMINAL
DESCRIPTION
BLOCK
Dry Auto Input - When closed, the starter will run when in
D1 / D2
Auto Mode. (N.O. dry contact or transistorized input)
Fault Relay Output - Normally open relay contacts that
O1 / O2
closes in the event of a fault condition.
120VAC, 0.6A
For the above: Use 12-20AWG wire for I/O terminal blocks
TERMINAL
DESCRIPTION
Run-Timer Input - Connections for optional 1/2-12hr run
T- / TI / T+
timer.
Pilot Device Input - Connections for a 3-position (HOA)
D3 / D4 / D5
switch for motor control.
(Wired from manufacturer on N3R enclosed units)
Contactor Output - Provides a 24V output to close the
contactor when the motor starter is commanded in either
HAND or AUTO mode. Once the contactor is closed, the
C- / C+
output drops to 2-4V to maintain contactor closure while
optimizing efficiency. Only for use with Franklin Electric
contactor with 24VAC coil (24V, 0.875A Max).
For the above: Use 14-26AWG wire for I/O terminals, torque to 3.5 lb-in
WARNING
OVERLOAD/CONTROL UNIT MUST BE REPLACED IF BURNOUT OF THE
EXTERNAL CURRENT TRANSFORMERS OCCURS.
