Thermal Relay Overload Amp
Adjustment Dial: Turn this dial
to the amperage setting speci-
fied by the motor manufacturer.
Typically, this setting is 100–
110% of the amperage load listed
on the motor data plate. Please
note that turning this dial has
no effect on increasing motor
horsepower. If turned too high,
the motor can overheat and be
damaged before the relay trips.
Manual Trip Test Lever: If the
thermal relay function is in ques-
tion, run the motor and use a
wooden toothpick to push the
red TEST button in. If motor
shuts off, thermal relay has
tripped and is functional.
Manual Contactor Override
Lug: When pushed, the
contactor is manually closed for
troubleshooting purposes only.
ON Button: When pushed,
power is sent to the magnetic
field coil, closing the contactor
and sending power to the motor.
Manual/Auto Reset Button:
In the out position, the thermal
relay is in manual reset mode.
This means you must re-install
the outside cover and push the
red OFF button, then push the
green ON button to reset the
thermal relay. In the in position,
the thermal relay will automati-
cally reset when it has cooled.
OFF Button: When pushed, the
current going to the magnetic
field coil is cut, which opens the
contactor and cuts power to the
motor.
OPERATION: When pushed, the green ON button on the outside cover of the magnetic switch energizes
a magnetic coil, which pulls the contactor closed. The main current then passes through the contactor
and thermal overload relay to the motor. The red OFF button breaks the magnetic field, which opens the
contactor and disconnects the current to the motor. A motor overload or an interruption of the power supply
will also break the magnetic field and release the contactor and disconnect current to the motor. The motor
will not restart until the overload is reset and/or the ON button is pushed.
