Theory of Operation
Each contactor contains a permanent magnet built into its struc-
ture that will maintain the contactor in its energized state inde-
nitely without using control power. When energized, DC voltage
is applied to produce a magnetic eld that reinforces the polarity
of the permanent magnet and the contactor closes. Immediately,
the current to the coil is disconnected by the coil clearing aux-
iliary contact. In order to open the contactor, it is necessary to
create a eld through the OFF coil in the reverse direction to the
permanent magnet. This momentarily cancels the magnetic at-
traction and the contactor drops out.
Magnetically latched CLM lighting and heating contactors can
control tungsten, uorescent and metal vapor lamp or heating
loads. (Table 1 below shows the voltage and current rating for
various loads). Each contactor and its associated load should be
protected against short circuits by a suitable branch circuit pro-
tective device selected in accordance with the National Electric
Code (NEC).

Care should be taken when servicing that leads do not be-
come changed from their factory installed terminals, or im-
proper operation and possibly permanent damage to the
contactor could result.
CAUTION: Do not apply AC voltage directly to the coil
terminals of this device! The permanent magnet will be
demagnetized and the rectier will be damaged if alter-
nating current or wrong polarity direct current is ap-
plied directly to the coil.
Each CLM contactor has an electronic control module
“CLMKCMR” which is used to energize and close the
contactor and for the release circuit. It is designed for short
time actuation of 1-3 cycles only. All coils are designed with
a small wattage resistor in addition to a diode at coil voltages
higher than 120 volts. Remote solid state switching devices
have ‘off state’ leakage currents. They may also pass utility
transient voltages through to the device electronics. The low
level ‘off state’ voltages are insufcient to actuate the contactor
but large enough to burn out the resistors. Normal actuating
voltages are quickly disconnected from the coils and control
module by the latch clearing contacts. Coil and module
failures are possible when used with solid state relays and
PLC outputs. 24-volt systems are ok to use, but 120 volts
and above should be discouraged. If higher voltages cannot
be avoided, an interposing relay should be used.

Power Circuit Terminals
Wire Size #14 AWG -#8 AWG
Wire with copper conductors only, unless terminals are
marked “AL-CU”
(Wire with conductors rated 75 °C.If conductors rated
higherthan 75 °C are used, their size must be based on
the ampacity values for 75 °C conductors. Terminal
torque values are shown in Table 2.)
Installation - Be sure power is off
The nameplate ratings of the contactor must agree with the
power supply and the rating of the load. Contactor mounting
should be solid to prevent vibration. When the contactor is
provided with a channel iron base, grout the base in place.
The preferred and recommended mounting position of the con-
tactor is in a vertical plane. Before making any connections,
be certain that all leads to be handled are de-energized. With
power off, operate contactors, relays and interlocks to see that
they work freely. See that all terminals and current carrying
connections are clean and tight. For electrical connection, wire
per one of the schematics shown in Fig. 2 thru 4 depending on
the desired control.
(Magnetically-latched contactors are equipped with coils
designed for intermittent duty only. Faulty coil action can
be caused by a defective coil or damaged control module.
Replacement of both is recommended when the contactor
will not pull in or drop out. Coil replacement for the purpose of
changing the control voltage rating does not require auxiliary
contact or control module replacement.)

Auxiliary Contact
A maximum of two auxiliary units can be installed in the re-
cesses of each contactor (see Fig. 5 for location and bottom of
Table 4 for the auxiliary units catalog numbers and their contact
conguration). Auxiliary units mount by means of spring clip
and retainer screw. To remove the unit rotate the retainer screw
several times (counter-clockwise) and then slide the auxiliary
contact unit out of the recess.

CAUTION -
All control wiring for contactor operation must only be made to
the coil isolation contact terminals #2, #3 and L2 terminal con-
nection points. Wiring made to any other terminal points will
burn out the coil and diode. If a coil burnout occurs, both the
coil and the diode must be replaced.
Coil Replacement – refer to Figure 1, Table 3.
Loosen the two screws at each side of the upper base and re-
move the wire connections. Loosen the assembly screws (1).
Pull the loosened upper base structure (2) forward. Unplug
the coil (3) from the upper base, plug in a new coil and re-
place the upper base structure while depressing the kick-out
springs (4) to ensure they set in the molded seats in the cross-
bar (5). Reconnect the four coil leads. Tighten the assembly
screws referring to Table 2. Mechanically operate the unit to
ensure there is no binding of the crossbar.
Contact Inspection – refer to Figure 1
Loosen the two arc chute screws (6) located immediately
above and below the nameplate and remove the arc chute
(7). The contacts (8) are visible. Re-tighten the screws per
Table 2.
Contact Wear and Replacement – refer to Figure 1,
Table 4.
CAUTION: Install arcbox prior to energization
Contacts are designed for a long service life based on a spe-
cic electrical load under normal service and environmental
conditions. If any one of these factors is altered, a shorter ser-
vice life or a breakdown will result. Contactors are subject to
both mechanical and electrical wear during their operation. In
most cases mechanical wear is insignicant. The erosion of
the contacts is due to electrical wear. During arcing, material
from each contact is vaporized and blown away from the useful
contacting surface.
Note: When contact replacement is required, it is necessary
to replace both stationary and moving contacts plus moving
contact overtravel springs. After replacement, manually oper-
ate switch to be sure binding does not occur.
After removing the arc chute (7) and with replacement contacts
in hand, compress the overtravel spring (9) and remove the
moving contact (8) from the crossbar (5). Remove any power
connections. Remove screws (10) and lift out the stationary
contact carriers (11). The new contacts are then installed by
reversing the above procedure and referencing Table 2 for
torque specications. Moving contacts should be free to move,
overtravel spring seated, and the crossbar free to move when
the arc chute is in position. Silver cadmium oxide contact but-
tons require NO dressing or lubrication during their life.
Magnet - Armature Assembly
Self alignment and permanent air gap features of the magnet
armature make replacement unnecessary. Mating pole face
surfaces should be kept clean.

Storage
Electrical control equipment which is to be stored prior to its
installation, should be checked before placing in storage for
possible damage during transit. It should then be repacked
and stored in a location which is clean and dry.
When storage is in or near buildings under construction, pro-
vide covers to protect the equipment against dust, moisture
and falling objects.
Apparatus stored for long periods may corrode. Damage,
while stored, will be minimized by maintaining the best
possible storage conditions, and by periodically inspect-
ing the equipment and arresting the progress of corro-
sion and other forms of deterioration which may be found.
A small amount of heat will stop corrosion that occurs from
moisture due to condensation.
