Installation
1. Using (2) #8 screws, mount the ICM450A and ICM450A plus+ in a cool, dry, easily
accessible location in the control panel.
2. Connect voltage as shown in Figure 1 (below). Leave existing line and load side
connections intact on the contactor.
3. Load side monitoring is optional (unit may be used to monitor line side only). Wire the
contactor and optional control voltage monitoring as in Figures 2 and 3 (below).
Note: Load/line wire must be rated for 3-phase voltage rating, 20 AWG minimum.
4. Upon application of power, the CM450A and ICM450A plus+ will be on line and will
begin to monitor the system.
• Terminals 4 and 5 are the control signal input terminals
• “Control Mode” is turned ON or OFF in setup
• With “Control Mode” set to “ON,” there must be a voltage present on terminals 4 and
5 for the relay output terminals 1 and 2 to close; this voltage can be supplied from a
thermostat, pressure switch, etc.
• When the voltage on these terminals is re-applied,
the unit will not re-energize until the delay on break
(0-10 minutes) time has elapsed
• Use of terminals 4 and 5 is optional; they will be ignored if the “Control Mode” is
set to “OFF”
• Terminals 1 and 2 are “dry,” normally open contacts
• Terminals1and2areclosedwhenpoweriswithinspecications
• Terminals 1 and 2 open when there is a fault condition
• Terminals 1 and 2 open when there is a loss of the control signal with “Control Mode” set
to “ON”
Note: Terminals 6, 7 and 8 used for ModBus communication on ICM450A and
ICM450A plus+.

Fault Problem Corrective Action
Back Phase Loss Not all three of the phases on the load side
are present
1. Re-energize the contactor.
2. If the fault reappears after the load energizes:
a. Turn all power OFF
b. Check all load side connections
c. Check the contacts of the contactor for debris or excess carbon.
Back Phase Rev Loads 1, 2, or 3 are not in sequence
(not 120º phase shifted)
1. Turn OFF all power.
2. Swap any 2 phases on the load side of the ICM450A and ICM450A plus+ only (example: swap load 1 and
load 2) *
3. Re-apply power.
Back Phase Unbalance A voltage unbalance between the three load
phases exceeds the unbalance setpoint
1. Press the READ button to observe the present load voltages. Check system for unbalance cause.
2. Increase the fault interrogation time if necessary.
3. Increase the percent unbalance setting if necessary.
Front Over Voltage Average phase-phase voltage exceeds the
maximum percentage
1. Check system for over-voltage cause.
2. Increase the percent over-voltage setting if necessary.
3. Increase the fault interrogation time if necessary.
Front Phase Loss Not all three of the phases on the line side
are present
1. Press and hold the READ button on the phase monitor or use an AC voltmeter to carefully measure all three
phase-phase line voltages (example: Line 1 Line 2, Line 2 Line 3, Line 3 Line 1).
2. Repair the missing phase.
Front Phase Reversal Lines 1, 2, or 3 are not in sequence
(not 120º phase shifted)
1. Turn OFF all power.
2. Swap any 2 phases on the line side of the ICM450A and ICM450A plus+ (example: swap Line 1 and Line 2)*
3. Re-apply power.
Front Phase Unbalance A voltage unbalance between the three line
phases exceeds the unbalance setpoint
1. Press the READ button to observe the present load voltages. Check system for unbalance cause.
2. Increase the fault interrogation time if necessary.
3. Increase the percent unbalance setting if necessary.
Front Under Voltage Average phase-phase voltage is below the
minimum percentage
1. Check system for under-voltage cause.
2. Increase the percent under-voltage setting if necessary.
3. Increase the fault interrogation time if necessary.
Fault Conditions
* Only swap phases during initial setup, not after the ICM450A and ICM450A plus+ has been in operation without errors.
